Hybrids
According to Wikipedia A hybrids are mythological creatures combining body parts of more than one real species.

De – Cell – Aration.
Our Cellphones. We carry them with us everywhere. No matter where people are, what they are doing. In church, on a forest walk, in the bathtub .. never are they without their little mobile companion that lets them speak to the world and lets the world stay in touch with them. This little box with…
Watch out : We are moving.
Well, the new year is nicely in full swing as I come wandering along with my first post of 2009. To be quite honest, I’m not really sure if you are going to be able to read this because at this moment, my hosting company responsible for the up (and down) time of the knightwise.com…

Overpowered Laptops and constant connectivity.
Its Sunday afternoon here at the KnightsCastle, and as we mellow down and chill out on the couch, I’ve plopped myself down at the kitchen table with my Macbook Pro. I’m not in my fortress of solitude ( see KW006 ) because that room is currently occupied by Nyana’s baby sister who has come down…
My Brother in Dakar
Some people do not dream. Others DO dream. Most of us don’t persue or dreams. We put things off until ‘later’ and nag and complain when we are old. So when your dream is to ride your bike to Dakar .. you can daydream about it until you are blue in the face. OR you…
At least Scrooge was Honest.
This is not going to be one of these posts where I need to start of with an apology and stuff like that. Reason I have not been blogging away eagerly has to do with the holiday season. This time of year reeks havoc with my "general order of events" and tends to drain away…

Floating beyond the cloud.
Its been an interesting and very fatiguing couple of weeks for me, but it looks like calmer water is on the horizon.

Audi Arkanoid.

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…

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.
