Some problems have the simplest solutions, some are unsolvable. And some problems seam unsolvable and have the simplest solutions at the same time. One of those problems is the one I have with Itunes in “sharing my music directory” in Itunes on our mac so my wife can access the music on that machine and…
The beginning is a delicate time. So says the princess at the beginning of the Dune movie. And some truth can be found in that statement. Yesterday I treaded carefully into a delicate beginning when I went looking for a linux distribution to install on my ten year old Toshiba Satellite for our little “how…
I seldom, or never blog about work. That is a cardinal rule that one must uphold. The stupidity of yapping about internal company squables on a noobies blog are as infinitely stupid as the repercussions they will have. I’m a little bit older and wiser then that. But one can sometimes reveal something about ones…
With the whole medium of “video” becoming popular and available on the internet, its truly a feast if you need to “explain” how something is done. Sure with the KWTV screencasts we are doing just that, but sometimes you don’t realy have to re-invent the fire. Browsing around with MIRO yesterday, i stumbled on this…
The first big misconception about Linux is that it runs on everything. " Linux runs on Everything " they say, pointing towards old systems lying around in a dark corner, preaching that good old Linux can bring machines like that back to life while Vista has cast them into the shadows of Oblivion. But then…

My first encounter with Twitter was when I was still a co-host at the Global Geek Podcast. This small time microblogging application was, back then, nothing more the a promising start up without a business model to support it. Twitter was one of these fabs that seamed to overwhelm / overtake peoples minds who would…

Not too long ago, I got my new work laptop. A Dell D820, with one Kickass screen (1920 * ….) running windows XP. Nothing exciting there. Its one of those things you use for work and thats about it. Allthough it was nice to have a machine like that at home if I needed to…
Going back four years in time : This is a post from Feb. 15’th 2005. Been a while since my last post. I have decided to let all the bad stuff flow away in this post. Don’t feel like getting all wrapped up in it all over again. Yes , Babylon is still burning but…
One of the great things I had mentioned about Facebook is that it allows me to meet up with old friends. Ever since we "took to the net" most of our friends and contacts have been a mostly English speaking, internationally oriented posse. Spread wide over the big blue ball and located in more timezones…
The one thing I have been pondering about for quite some time now is whether or not I am going to get myself one of these "inernet everywhere" modems for my Netbook. "Internet Everywhere" is a umts/3G product offered by our cellphone carrier mobistar, allowing you to hook up your laptop to the cellphone grid…
The world on the internet is a big place, and yet sometimes its also a very small place. Take for example today. Somewhere out in the interwebs somebody was reading along the "feisty for the family" series I had written a few months ago. Via the feedback form I got a little email asking for…
Being a geek is not that bad. Its a good thing come to think of it. You’re into tech and gadgets, and you are kind of a Sci Fi Cult fan. Calling people " Nerfherders " and mumbling " Awanawanga* " before closing an Ebay deal .. stuff like that. Normally a geek has a…
“Time machine” No its not one of those blue boxes that let you zip around the galaxy and go back to kick young Steve Ballmer in the crotch just before he goes to the prom. What I’m referring to is one of those inventions by Apple who touts to be the ultimate Valhalla for your…
There are two things I do not like in the world. Well, there are a few more of course, but 2 things stand out in regards to this little article. I Don"t like desktop search applications and I don’t like gadgets in sidebars. Let me clarify: One of the reasons I hate "desktop search" programs…
Come to me …. Precious silence unveil your wings surround me with your satin curtains drown out the noise and blow away my raving thoughts of madness Sweet serenity come sit by me and take me in your arms feed me the nectar of your motionless movement and immerse me in the silent symphony of…
It’s always nice to meet up with people of the ‘pod-osphere’ (horrible word), especially if you can do something in return for the many hours of audio entertainment they provide you. Take Allison Sheridan of the Nosillacast for example. This Geeky mom-of-two and all round techie-goof ball is the host of the Nosillacast podcast :…
Well , for those Ubuntu Fans that visit the website, I could not let this one slide. How about a FREE BOOK to go with your FREE software ? Never mind that you can find tons of information and how-to’s on the INTERNET about working with Ubuntu. Lets add one more to the pile and…
One of the great things in having to "drive around" a lot, is that one has the time to "listen". Over the last few weeks i’ve filled up my Ipod with one excellent FREE audiobook called " Seventh Son " A short description speaks for itself : " Three weeks ago, the U.S. president was…

Today I bow my head in shame. Shame shock and awe. Somehow unable to process the events that took place in our little country. Ashamed to be Belgian, Shocked at what happened. Speechless to mouth any words that could sooth the suffering of all those involved. The dawn of Januari the 24st awakens us in…
Once again, a little time on the road in between one assignment and the next to gobble up some food and whip up the Netbook for a short writing session. After listening to several podcasts over the last few weeks where people babbled on and on about their favorite text editor, note taking software and…
With a few minutes to spare before I have to be on my first appointment for the day, its perfect timing to test my latest toy. Of course i’ve had my Acer Aspire one for quite a while, but yesterday I blew away the old Ubuntu 8.04 / XP dual boot situation on the machine,…
