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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
This must be the fastest post i’ve written so far. And with that I mean that I have never blogged at this velocity. As I’m writing this I’m flying through the sleeping landscape of Belgium , Its Six am , i’m on the train to Antwerp and I have a new best friend ! With…
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…
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…
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…
Thanx 2 Sharky for sending this one in. Now we can all sleep a lot easier. Related PostsNo Related Posts
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…
Work continues on the Knightwise.com website as we add another cool feature : The KW.com newsletter. It took me some tinkering with the "letterman" module in Joomla but its up and running. If you like to have KW.com content pushed towards you .. Why not subscribe to the newsletter. Every time we release a podcast…
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…
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…
Well, unless you are using a screen reader and suffer from the same proverbial blindness as a bat (Holy Smokes Batman) you might have noticed that the look and feel of the website has changed just a tad. Reason for this is a: The old logo and look and feel was getting.. erm … old,…
This morning, before heading off to work, I pulled over to snap this pretty picture. Related PostsNo Related Posts
After a week of silence, I have returned. I have returned with an excuse why the podcast has been slow in coming and why posts have been so far in between. Over the last month we (Nyana and I) have pulled of yet another trick that most people take months to complete. I am proud…
I have become a suit.I used to watch them from time to time. Whenever Nyana and I had a day off we would drive to the seaside and stop over at some restaurant along the freeway. There you would see them, tapping away at their laptops while having dinner. looking mighty busy and…
Sitting down in the afternoon , recovering from a fairly nice Sunday, I rattle away at my Macbook while waiting for Vista to install on one of my workstations. I’ve decided to give Microsoft latest yet another go, but choose a slightly more powerful workstation then last time. Reason ? Not curiosity or something like…
Randomy browsing through my Twitter followers I came accross this guy ! Interesting Tweets, Interesting pictures .. Looks like an interesting life .. Damn .. I wanna be this guy for a day or two. If I look at his lifestyle I’m stunned he’s following MY twitter feed :). On Twitter : Fotograaf …
Living in Europe is a lot like living on Tantooine. All the fun stuff seems to be happening on the far side of the galaxy. When it comes to tech stuff that is. Macworld, CES, the OLPC project, Netflix, Renting movies on Itunes .. It are just a few things that are mentioned so many…
Its about ten PM on this Friday night. Outside, in absence of the better cold , a gay breeze dances through the sleeping city. Reminding all of us just how absent the winter is this year. Nyana has decided to call it a night, and even Neelix has traded his endless playfulness for a lazy…
As a webmaster, Sometimes you must type. You must write and think stuff up. Yet sometimes you must just have the ballsy balls to go out there and shamelessly point your audience towards an article somebody else wrote yelling : "Lookie Here !!!" This article is one of those. A great article on LIfehacker that…
The one great thing about the end of the year, is that people suddenly get this irresistible urge to make up lists. Somehow the end of December awakes the human genome that categorizes items that have appeared or occurred in the last 365 days. Bizarre as this may be, the end products of this linear…

Ok , I’m gonna need your help on this one. If you want some free mac applications for christmas : Shoot me an email. Do you remember whole mac-heist stuff that went on last year (where we all pitched in together to lower the price on some killer apps ?) Well this year they are…
It might be something you can cataloge on the fringes of Blasphemy, but nonetheless its a great application. Perhaps one of THE missing applications when it comes to my Linux installation. How about a way to graphically control your Linux desktop from any pc or mac ? Yes I know i’m giving you old news.…
With the ever changing landscape of applications and patches, its pretty hard to keep up from time to time. Not only has it become extremely important to update your operating system to keep hackers and misbehaving software to ruin your day. There is a lot more to take into account. What if you are running…
Great stuff this new Google Imap ! Now you can quite easily access and manage your emails from just about anywhere using one (or multiple) desktop-client mail programs (like for example Outlook or Thunderbird). This is not very revolutionary. If you are using web based – Gmail you can do pretty much the same thing.…
