i'm Crackburried .

    Ok, I think I can call it official now : i’m crackberried ! Yep , its true, its the horrible horrible truth, but my name is Knightwise and i’m a crackberry addict. I’ve had the little device for over three weeks now and must say, that I can hardly live without it. Not

Oh brave new world.

Yesterday was my birthday. And my birthday is something that I let slide past me without making any fuss about it. Its a slow quiet day where I contemplate about what i’ve achieved in life and where I count my blessings and am thankfull for all I have.  ( I of course also wonder if

Audi Arkanoid.

Man ! What a week this has been. Believe it or not, this is the first time I get to sit down decently behind a computer and do something in the vicinity of writing a blog post. Most of this week has been spent on the road, cruising through the beautiful country of Belgium and

On the edge of the CrackBerry ?

Well, by the looks of it the website is back up and running, so I should be able to post another article. Yesterday and the day before something went wrong over at the funny-farm where Knightwise.com was hosted and apparently the collective SQL Database array decided to shit itself and leave us hanging out to

Living in the cloud.

Today, a different commute, this time to the head office of the company in Leuven. I left a little too early (about half an hour) so I have some time to kill before I need to be at my appointment. Dribbling rain and gray clouds have chased away the blue steel skies and amber sunrise

Dirt Cheap !

Another great weekend has come and gone, almost keyboard-less but still  great. Enjoying the last warm rays of sun before autumn glides over this part of the globe, we decided to take a little trip to Aachen for some shopping. While Nyana looked around for shoes (Of all things) I took a little walk past

Dawn

Dawn, without any doubt my most favorite time of the day, and now, in the twilight of summers demise and winters coming, it is even more so. As I gently slide out the door at 7 in the morning, those few seconds outside capture my senses and leave their frosty footprint to thaw out in

The first duty is to the truth.

Most of the time my blog is about fun and tech and gadgets and stuff, and sometimes its about serious things. Like today, Knightwise.Com takes up one of the roles it is also meant to preform : My public Forum. One of the reasons for that is a rumor that is circulated by my former

Cluttah !

Today my day was announced with the bonechilling chime of the alarm clock. The dark and warm surroundings of my dreams where shattered by the shrieks of this little tempest, Heralding a new day and reminding me that I had once again had too little sleep.  Leaving my sleeping beauty behind I got up and

Captain Tomtom saves the day.

Hmm 🙂 Wonderfull wonderful weekend. As we are entering my favorite time of the year (late summer/early autum) the smell of the first falling leaves is mixed with the last warmth of the amber sunrays. A perfect time for a little day out. Sunday was a mixture of good conversation, Wonderful tea an pancakes and

Gps-less in Seatle ?

One of the nice things about being a consultant is that you get to drive a company car. Ok , its something we NEED to do our jobs, driving to clients and so forth. But it does make for some interesting experiences, driving a different car every couple of months (or years). I have been

Painting and Mythbuntu.

Its been a few days since the last post and god knows the podcast is overdue, but times have been once again, pretty busy. One of the major things keeping me away from the keyboard are the recent "painting activities" at casa del Knightwise. We have successfully completed the renovation of the upstairs attic (

Google Chrome.

I’m sure you must have been hiding under a full sized meteorite yesterday if somehow the release of Google Chrome went passed you. Who knows you might even be surfing this very page with your brand new shiny browser… Its been all over the web and even on the news (On the "radio thing") they

Mental Meditations.

All things are Relative, Einstein said. Yet there are also some things that are absolute. Like for example the speed of light : Absolute even though 2 different observers travelling at different speeds in different directions SHOULD measure the speed of light at different velocity. Yet that speed is absolute. Its one hell of a

Review of the ACER ASPIRE ONE.

You can call me many things, but one of the things you are surely going to mention is "early adopter". Yes, I am one of those cyber pioneers thats gets his hands on the new toys out there and who boldly swipes his Visa through the magnetic card reader and goes for the purchase of

BiZzy

Sorry for not posting over the weekend, but I had my hands full. 🙂 Not only with "daily life" kinda stuff, to be quite honest we didn’t leave the house. But with Nyana down with the flu we didn’t have a lot of choice. She’s slowly getting better, but the most part of my weekend

May the force be with us.

A few weeks ago, me and my old web buddy Swift, got some tickets to the "Star Wars Exhibition" in Tour and Taxis in Brussels. This expo, featuring sets and costumes from the Star Wars movies was heralded as " The Ultimate Star Wars Experience !" (whatever that may be), So me and "Tha SwiftMeister"

Why I don

As some of you might have noticed. I haven’t posted ANYTHING about the iphone so far. The whole western world has been hyping the thing , up to the point of mass hysteria, but I have refused to write about it until now. Why ?  Because I think the Iphone is getting WAY to much
