Hey ! For those of you who thought I was dead and buried, well you are wrong (luckily) I’m still here, it just took me a while to finally find the time (and the inspiration) to post another entry on the website. Its a disgrace actually , me slacking of like this in posting new…
I look back into the fairly recent past (if there is such a thing) and take myself back to the beginning of the 21st Century , when Nyana and me lived together in a teeny tiny apartment in my home town. It was a very cosy place. Atop a nice shop and sheltered by trees…
For those of you who want to take a peek, here is the collection of this years holiday snaps. Like last year we headed out to the wonderful “Pay’s D’Oc” in the south of France to enjoy the sunshine and discover the history of the Cathars. So sit back and enjoy 233 snaps of Castles,…
A while ago i was reading through an interesting post over at gizmodo about his visit to the fabolous Lego Vaults in Scandinavia. This magical place is a priceless museum of all Lego kits ever created. From the very first up to the very latest, all lego play sets that have ever left the factory,…
Why you don’t need to download music… " Where do you download your music ? " The question, mostly posed by a newbie, floats in a pregnant silence for just a second. My shoulders slump slightly and I feel like some kid of Movie Celebrity being asked the same dumb question by journalist nr 4004.…
A few days ago we had a friend over who made quite a astute observation. " Yo Knightwise, where are all your boxes ? " With "Boxes" he of course referred to "where are all your computers". The last time we had this friend over was at our old house in Hasselt, quite a long…
One of the things I take a lot of pride in, is that I have a fairly digital lifestyle. I’m not talking about the while internet thing and stuff , that too of course. But when I say Digital , i mean Digital as in digiTIZED. Over the last few years I’ve embraced most technologies…
So thank the matrix for Podcasts and RSS feeds. Your loyal podcatcher (whether it is Itunes, Juice or good old Bashpodder) is subscribed to the RSS feed of your favorite show and downloads the episodes you want to listen to. Just punch in your Ipod (or whatever mp3 player you have) and you are off…
The screen in front of me is a plain black slate with bright green letters popping into existence as i run my fingers along the keyboard. My mouse sits aimlessly besides my computer and the gigantic touch pad of the Macbook pro sobs gently as it has been deprived of strokes and taps for too…

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 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…
Happy Birthday Nyana Yep ! It’s that time of year again where i get to wish the most wonderfull person in my life a happy birthday ! Join me and shoot her an email at nyana@knightwise.com. Related PostsNo Related Posts
As i”m working from home Kira the Cat decides it would be a good idea to hide in my pullover and stay nice and warm. Related PostsNo Related Posts
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…
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…
Nyana walking in the sand. A visit to the seaside this weekend, Nyana strolling along the North Sea On the horizon, the Casino Cursaal of Oostende. Related PostsNo Related Posts
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

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
