In light of tradition this is going to be another soundseeing tour where I take you along on my bike. We drive through the region where I live and listen to the birds chime as I…
It is more by accident then by choice that I’ve ended up in this perticular establishment. The initial idea to walk into town and have my coffee at my regular place was cut short by the hand of somebodies god , as the heavens opened and released a substantial amount of rain, my short attire…

I’ve purposely put off writing up any snippet of text on the whole ipad deblacle untill i got my hands on one. I did not want to be yet another blogger that pulled a gasious anomaly out of their rectum just to scratch the itch that they needed to do “what everybody else was doing”…

Most of you who follow me on Twitter (and Facebook) know that i’m an IT consultant. In my dayjob, that means i have to work for a lot of “different clients” on the same day. This is sometimes a little bit of a Mindf*ck since you need to keep those professional “identies” seperated when you…

Modern times bring modern ideas. Modern ideas and concepts require you to “rethink” some things and re-evaluate your experiences with the world. It is a simple fact that change.. is the only constant. Although you can mostly find me on the Vanguard of that very change, I still am surprised by how these new ideas…
Only 24 years ago, the world barely avoided one of the biggest nuclear disasters at the Nuclear Reactor plant of Chernobyl. To get some more insight in the matter. How did the accident happen ? What series of events led to this calamity ? And how did the people in charge deal with it in…
I don’t often do quick “Download this and you’ll be happy” articles a lot. However today is an exception. A co-worker pointed me to the DVD-VIDEOSOFT suite for the PC. This fantastic piece of freeware is to media-loving geeks, what a Swiss army knife is to Mcgyver. Just a little excerpt of the 23 (!)…

Many times we say the internet is a great source for entertainment. And that, is very true. A site like youtube houses , without a shadow of a doubt , the greatest collection of silly-cat-videos known to man. But on the other hand it can also be an enormous source of information. Throughout the years…
For those who caught Knightcast Episode 34 : Talking Ebook Readers, it might not come as a surprise that I like my Sony PR-505 reader.

When you come down to it, all geeks are voyeurs. They just LOVE to look at how other geeks have setup their little Geek-Palace and get some tips and ideas from there. Recently I posted the pictures of "The Laundry Room" on Flickr. Last week however, i had to re-arrange some of my setup due…
Ok , you can be good with your hands .. and you can build your own freakin WORKING astromech droid. As this video below illustrates, this gentleman is one belonging to the latter category. Some day you get up and you say : Today I want to build an R2-D2 unit and impress all of…
Never mind the fact that i’m online most of the day, and live at least 80 percent of my waking hours connected to some kind of broadband connection, sometimes you just have to go “off the net”. Since I spend a lot of time in the car (and on the road) I consume a fair…
The say you can find just about everything on the internet, and if "they" say that , its probably true. From the formula for a perfect Café Latte to the formula for an atom bomb, from pictures of kittens to full out FluffyPron ( hello @woollymittens 😉 ) There is indeed no source of information…
Find PART ONE of this series HERE. IN our second part of the series about “Linux running on everything” we are going to take it one step further. Lets take look at a few Linux distributions that work ‘from the command line’. Now “From the command line” can mean quite a lot of things. It…
One of the myths that are out there , is that Linux runs on “everything”. Technically, this is true, Linux does “RUN” on even the smallest and most underpowered devices (Appliances like routers, your Tivo and some cellphones) and sure enough, geeks manage to run Linux on lighter computers like a 486, just to prove…
