Hey guyz, girls, time for a little service announcement regarding some bandwith issues we’ve had over the last 2 weeks. Doing a podcast is a lot of work but its also a lot of fun. However it does require a website AND a place to plop down all of those podcasts AND screencasts. Now if you…
There once was a time, in the not so distant path, that Linux users where a minority. Well, to be honest, they where a small group of really really big Nerds. Yes, beard-wearing, spectacle sporting, maternal basement dwelling single guys (and the occasional female) They would stare at their command prompts all night long, browsing newsgroups and irc…
There are some things everybody remembers. Their first girlfriend, their first car, their first kiss and of course, and of course, their first computer. For me that was a beige Commodore 64 (With brown keys) that I had gotten in 1986. At that time my older brother had bought it for my dads company and…

“Can you also make phonecalls with it ?” The half snickering question hovers in the air, the person who asked it looks at me expectantly, although he already knows the answer. “No” I answer. Before I get a chance to explain he holds the device up to his ear, its over-sided dimensions making it…
This week we launched our brand new hashtag on twitter : #dearknightwise, that people can use to ask cross platform question. Every week I try to sit down and answer your questions. @moonenmoonen asked @”knightwise : Where did you get the pogo sketch.” I got the pogo sketch at the Easy M store in Sint…
In a never ending quest to find new and exiting ways to interact with my cross-platform community, i’ve launched (or “thought up”) the hashtag “#dearknightwise” on twitter. If you have a cross-platform question about Windows, Linux, Osx, Android, Ois or steam powered energiser bunnies .. i’ll do my best to find your answer. The hashtag…
Geo-tagging your pictures, tweets and foursquare checkins is cool. It lets your friends know where you are, shows others just “where” you took that awesome picture and nobody dears to doubt the fact that you have just become the mayor of your aunts bathroom in Foursquare. But these locations are DATA. Random, useless data that…
After releasing the last Docu Cast episode in the feed about how I have setup my own cross-platform, cross location podcatching setup, I got a request from listener @moonenmoonen on Twitter. Via the hashtag #dearknightwise he asked if I could post my podcatching list ( My “opml” file ) to the interwebs so others could…
(*written up the day before the launch of the Ipad 2) For those of you who are expecting a long drawn rant or fan-boyish propaganda about the new Ipad 2 thats coming out tomorrow : you can go and click on a some porn site right now. This is not going to be yet another…
We start of the day with a little Youtube video that oozes nostalgia. How about trying to upgrade through every version of Windows ever made, and see if you (and your operating system) survives. A pointless exercise at best, and surely 10 minutes of your life you’ll never get back, yet it DOES have an air of…
As dawn slides its silken blue cloack over the star dottet expanse of night, I rise from the slumber of my dreams. Trudding down for the morning coffee, I absently reach for one of my digital companions as I yawn and stretch to greet the new day. While our puppy pops outside to answer natures call, I stand in…
On my current quest for some “quiet time” in the digital tornado that is my cyber lifestyle, I’ve come along some interesting tools. While they may be more then known among many of you, being mentioned by Alpha Geeks on their posts on Lifehacker.com and other sites, some of you might not know these tricks.…
Looking at the tracking site of the Belgian post office for the umpteenth time today, i’m still anxiously waiting for the arrival of my new toy. Yep ! 🙂 It’s official, i’m about to purchase my SECOND Android device. After having played around with the Samsung Galaxy S for some months, I thought it was…
For those of you who have been waiting for the next episode of the Knightcast podcast, I am indeed overdue. Where I had put out a steady stream of episodes over the last few months, the holidays, and the aftermath of the festive season have been less than inspiring for my “frequent production schedule”. The…

Guest spot on Podcasters Emporium 26 “Recording Skype on a Mac” This week I was asked to sit in ‘the hot seat’ on “Podcasters Emporium”.

What can I say : i’m a digital pack rat. I seldom, well actually NEVER leave the house without some (or multiple) snippets of technology strapped to my person. This can vary from a fully fledged laptopbag with a ” full on ” notebook, to the absolute minimum of my cellphone, a Samsung Galaxy S…

Let met start off by saying that i am NOT a morning person. Well , not in the strictest sense of the word. I like to get up early, because I quite frankly love the calmness of dawn, but i’m not the super-productive hyperactive Knightwise until right before the moment I need to leave out…
It was a little bit of a surprise last week when i picked up our trusty Nikon Coolpix 4200 to snap a picture of some gadget i wanted to put on ebay. Apparently the little device, which we take on most of our trips as a “convenient little camera”, had encountered an unknown wave of…
Its been a while since i had the chance to sit down and write a blogpost. It takes a certain amount of time and inspiration to sit down and ramp out some words onto an empty screen. But what it of course also takes is the discipline to shut off the procrastination shield that might…
