And suddenly, it was 2008. A leap year, nicely round numbers (at least for a geek like me, I guess), a year in which I'll finally finish my higher education. Also finally, I'm under contract again, getting some dough to pay bills, food and gadgets from. Feels quite good, I …

But I think it'll have to wait a few more hours: Everyone a pre-emptive Healthy, Joyful, Fortunate, Decent and most of all Just Plain Fun 2008!

... the whole world is edible.

More pics to come

Relaxation is favored, especially if you have been working too hard lately. A group of annoying people will soon be gone, so you can then prepare to take it easy in a more peaceful environment. Relaxation is always favoured ;) Indeed, I worked hard, and feel like deserving a little break …

Four years already... So many things have changed in the intermittent time; so many things stayed the same

I created a Wordpress weblog to host my photolog: Same shit, different pic - A photolog by Michiel Scholten is born. I'll be trying to post a new picture every day. At least, I'll be taking pictures every day. Thanks Bas for taking my precious time away ;) Of course it has …

Today I started an experiment, encouraged by Bas, to shoot a picture of some random subject a day, and post it on a weblog. I started by creating a gallery album for it, and I'll try to set up some kind of photolog in the near future [being it a …

HDR imaging can result in really nice pictures. It's also a good way to create versions of your photo's that both highlight the details in the darker parts of the scene, and keep the details in the light parts, like the sky. Just like when you look at it with …

Seems like I finally finished my Bachelor paper \o/ I will put it online soon for everyone to enjoy. First... sleep.

Last Friday evening we could be found in the Ahoy in Rotterdam. There, a musical fusion of classical music and legendary pop songs took place. It was really interesting to be able to enjoy artists like Macy Gray, Donna Summer, Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Di-Rect, John Miles and Roby …

So, just over a week ago, I received my Canon EOS 400D with nice EFS 17-85mm lense [and a nice flash of course]. I've been shooting random stuff with it since then, and really like the camera. I also really like the sound the mirror makes when you take a …

I was finally allowed by the accountancy department [hi sweetie!] to buy some hard drive space, which I did, resulting in a major increase of 500GiB in the storage pool :) Finally room to sort out my cruft, backup our machines, and make space for autobuilding aquamorph .iso's again!

Today the new pharmacy of my girlfriend opens. It's all a bit thight on schedule, as they didn't have enough time to test handing out orders with their computer system and the robot enough, and not all of their orders where in on time. So, let's hope everything smoothes out …

I saw Herman van Veen live yesterday. He's just awesome on stage, having beautiful songs, very funny intermezzo's and performing really good music. Very glad to have him seen live once in my life.

It's obvious I developed a crush on the Nokia N810, and I will definitely get one the moment it shows up in e-shops here in the Netherlands in a few weeks [I heard somewhere it'll appear in a week or two]; I'm already saving up and may just put a …

I wonder when someone [finally?] slaps a Don't Panic logo on Wikipedia.

There, got that out of my System.

Nokia announced the N810 tablet [successor to the N800]. I so totally want it :) It has all the good stuff from the previous version [800x480 screen, wifi, etc], but also has a nice slide-out keyboard, 2GiB of internal storage, a Mozilla browser, Gizmo and Skype voip clients and lots of …
