3 2 1 … Disconnect !
The hardest part about blogging is not about WHAT to write, its about WHEN. As you can see by the latest "irregularity" in my posting cycle I’m yet again experiencing one of those weeks where "sitting down and writing out my thoughts" is harder then drawing the formula for cold-fusion on a post-it. Many of…
What's in your bag ? (part 1)
What is in your bag : Part one : The absolute minimum. There have been a great many posts on the Internet about this very topic. A topic considered rude if we should ever pose that very same question to a member of the female sex. Just imagine the slap in the face you would…

Beam me up Scotty .. or Cheer me up Scotty
Real star trek fans will be outraged when they see the title to this post. On the contrary to popular beliefs, that line was never uttered in any star trek show. But it"s not of the Star Trek TOS show that I want to speak today. (Or perhaps just a little bit). Today…
A netbook ain't a notebook.
Last week a bit of my time was spent reinstalling my Acer Aspire one netbook with the latest version of #easypeasy linux. I had "upgraded" my Netbook to Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty a few weeks ago and found the newest addition of Ubuntu to be incompatible with my 3G modem card. Now thats not unusual. Early…

Good thiings to say about Microsoft.
For those of you who have come to know, love (or loathe) me for the general deep-rooted HATE i have for windows Vista and most things Microsoft .. I can only say this : Enter www.porn.com in your browsers address bar and leave now. For this post is going to be bitterly disappointing for you.…

Look for a free table, drag in a chair, scoop up a stray keyboard and mouse. Hook up a nearby screen, look for a free ethernet cable , shove your suitcase underneath your pc and hoppa .. mobile office presto. Related PostsNo Related Posts

Goodbey Neelix…
Somehow, it feels fitting to sit on the stomp of a 500 year old cut down oak-tree, as i am writing this sad news. As Spock said in "The Final Frontier" : It is a reminder that all things end. And it is of endings that I wish to speak to you today. In the…
SOS Blogger at sea.
Sometimes we forget just how much time we spend online. In direct communication via instant messaging, Skype, Twitter or surfing, downloading and sending emails back and forth. Allmost 90 percent of my day is spend in close proximity to a broadband connection ( at home and at work ) The other 10 percent is covered…
Free-books.
Ok, I got the Sony E-book reader in the mail last Tuesday and have been playing around with it ever since. For those of you who are waiting for an in depth technical review of the device, well you’ll have to be patient or just google for it. Plenty of people have done a review…
bye bye Books !
Technology evolves, that much is certain. More and more we see the advancement of technology in our daily lives and all around us. Like a never receding tide the digital age rises higher and higher onto the shore of the analog world. One by one my media havesuccumbed to this digital uprising, this digital evolution…
Stranger in a strange land.
Can’t believe its been this long since I blogged , so i should probably begin with ‘ Forgive me oh mighty inter-webs for being offline for a while" As pennants I will surely serve up 40 tweets to make up for my sinfull behaviour. But one of the reasons I have been so ‘unblogging‘ (mind…
My new Macbook Pro.
Ok , I might have been nagging and wining about it over the last couple of weeks. And I swear that after this post I’ll probably shut up about it but .. I got my new Macbook Pro yesterday. My darling wife took the time to drive up all the way to Germany for me…
A weekend doing .. nothing.
Life on the edge of real and Cyberspace might be super exciting, but once in a while we log of our systems and go "do something else". It may seem incredible to you guyz to think of Knight and Nyana wandering around in the land of "infinite desktop wallpaper resolution" (the ‘real world’) but with…
2 operating systems, One place to store your data.
Yep, its April fools day. According to the headlines the Google homepage just crashed (see to believe), Ubuntu is going to become an RPM distro and several other stupid newsstories that only prove that you are a complete idiot if you believe them. So I’m not even going to bother with telling you that I…
I am everywhere !
Bloghoggers might have noticed I’m a few posts behind. Reason for that are some time-intensive "real world issues" that have the nerve to cobble up my cyberpipes and have kept me away from my very important digital social life. A shame I know ! Even with the Blackberry offering at least some lifeline to my…
Cyber Rednecks are the Fall of Facebook.
After a very busy weekend I do want to take a little time to at least do SOME updating of the Blog, for otherwise rumours of my death will once again flourish wildly. My pet peeve today is with our ever so popular and beloved Facebook. Yes, the same Facebook that has decided to anally…
Play Classic Dos Games online.
I know how most geeks tend to come to the point of near orgasm when they talk about their powerful machines, fast video cards, heaps of onboard ram and how their system makes big blue cower away in a corner. They tend to boast that their computer can produce more frames per second then the…
Macbook vs Macbook Pro.
Those of you who have been following me on twitter probably know by now that I sold my old generation one Macbook this week. With mixed feelings I reinstalled the little while buddy and took it towards its new owners who were already jumping with joy to get their hands on it. I do say…
Knightwise on Hacker Public Radio episode 310.
For those of you who don’t know Hacker Public Radio, HPR is a podcast produced by a variety of hosts, that mostly deals with all things geek. Well, maybe its geek-bordering-nerd, because some topics are pretty “down and deep” into the technological side of the story and might not be the greatest pristine pieces of…
Mellow Monday : 5 Cd's and a Podcast for free.
Some mondays are a little different from other ones. Some mondays you jump out of bed, shout "Shakaaah" and bang on the walls to wake up your neighbours to make them enthousiastic about the upcoming week. You race downstairs and (after twittering ‘HELLO WORLD’) open the door and yell "Hello World" into "meatspace" (referred to…
Afraid to Slide ? Get some Air !
A lot of people are afraid to use another operating system. Some people are afraid to embrace something that is different then the thngs they know. And coming to think of it, I can understand them. There are lists upon lists out there that give you "alternatives" Alternative operating systems to Windows, alternative programs to…

Three Favorite Linux applications (at random)
Hmm 🙂 Great weekend once again. With the sun coming out and enticing us with the first smells and sounds of spring, One has to give into the temptation of stepping outside and going for a little walk. So a stroll with Nyana, Neelix and Enya ( Nyana’s sister’s dog) was something we could not…
