Dental Drudge.
Well, I wanted a job on the road, looks like I got one. Once again coming to you from an authentic "truck stop" ( We only have on in the area) The weekend has been pretty busy, with a major bummer on Saturday when I found out that I could not pick up my Macbook…
Getting my Macbook Pro.
There are days in your life that you can’t wait for your alarm clock to go off and herald in another day. Like for example your first day when you got to go to the "big school" ( Back when you where a naive kid ) or many of those christmas mornings. Today is one…
Countdown to the big Move.
Finally, I’m back with another blogpost. Don"t know how many times i’ve started over, my brain somehow turning to liquid gellato halfway along the post. Reason for that is a total overload of stuff to do at work. Having to wear "different hats" all the time, (Sales, Sys admin, Developer, Helpdesk) is a very challenging…

The Return of the MM 50 and the coming of the Zeppelin.
I’ve had this little piece of equipment for three years now, no almost four. Back when I started as an IT consultant I had to drive to Beerse (near Antwerp) every day. In the beginning I took Cd’s along but, that started to bore me pretty quickly. I had owned an Ipod for a few…
Happy Birthday Gran-EEE
This weekend was the annual birthday party of Nyana’s grandmother. (Also known as the 81 year old "Ubuntu Granny") This Gutsy Granny is one of the Geekiest senior citizens I know and has been running Ubuntu Linux on her old laptop for two years now (See the article HERE) When we went…
Good-Bye-Book
This weekend has marked a little bit of a "landmark-event" in our own personal computer history. Saturday morning we said goodbye to our "very first mac". I still remember when, almost four years ago I was thinking about buying my first mac. I had been listening to my very first podcasts (Back then , the…

Become a hacker in 60 seconds.
Perhaps some of you have seen that atrocity of a movie with Angela Jolie called Hackers, perhaps you’re a fan of the movie Swordfish and got to pry your eyes away from the boobs of Halle Berry and watched the big computer screens instead. Or perhaps you are still a 40 year old virgin that…

Star Trek Fallen Angels : Part 2
For part one of this story : Click here. The stars shone brightly in the darkness of space. Their silver perfection apparent amids the blackness of eternity. Some might have found it beautiful, but not him. He hated them, loathed them..feared them. He had felt their icy breath as it had sublimated every single drop…

Lifestreaming with Yahoo Pipes.
For the last few days I have been thinking about the concept of Lifestreaming. A way of aggregating all the things I do online into one big stream. A collection of my articles , podcasts, tweets (quite a few of them lately), video’s, bookmarks, comments.. Would be very cool to have them all poured into…
Respawning a mac Mini into a Ubuntu Server.
Man ! What a busy week, or must I say : what a busy week-end. Parties, shopping, social events, work .. it all piled up nicely and maxed out our weekend to the extreme. Barely enough time to sit down, let alone "blog" or do something else productive. But what the hey .. here I…

Kc207 : "Cloud Computing"
The silence before the storm has passed and the Knightcast is back on the air. In episode 7 its time to take a look at the smallest affordable laptop on the planet. (No , not the OLPC) and debunk the myth that you need a lot of storage space on your harddrive to remain a…
Meet PasCale… He's from .."Genk".
I seldom post ‘funny video’s’ but this one is a little exception. Unfortunately for all you non-Flemish speaking people you will be only able to appreciate the acting. This is a cool little video of a local comic who made up this "macho" character called PasCale. For you Yanks : Remember how the Italian Macho’s…
Disk encryption.. Bah Humbugg.

Doing the Samba.
Its all over the TV these days. Celebrities trying to impress the crowds (and revitalise their dwindling careers) by doing some ballroom dancing. To me this kind of entertainment is enough to wish for some king of sensory failure of my higher brain functions, but luckily i can just zap away when it gets too…
Star Trek "Fallen Angels" part 1
As most of you know I’m kind of a Star Trek fan and many of my English writing skills come from reading English novels and literature. Most of these novels are Star Trek paperbacks, of which I have quite a collection. To get my mind off the constant overload of technology I decided to plant…

Radio is Dead to me.
Sunday afternoon, Nice and quiet, Upstairs in the central command center… (well, Office .. workplace) Powerbook munching away at some backups, turning them into ZIP files for later storage. And in the background : Music. True, I’m good at multitasking but suck at listening to podcasts and computing at the same time. Guess I’m not…
My new Ipod Touch.
When I take a peek at the receipt of my Ipod Video, I see its almost three years old. When I take a peek at the receipt of my First 3G Ipod i see its over 4 years old. That is pretty long for a portable device considering that none of their predecessors ( A…
