Today was a lovely day. Weatherman told us that is was going to rain liquid swimming pools and that the chances that our underwear would get wet from the outside where pretty high. But it turned out he was pretty wrong. A few clouds in the sky, but for the rest : a perfect sunny…

Back in 1996 when I was on dial-up, life was so much easier. Back then when I logged on to the net (after hearing that wonderful sound of my dailup modem going "KWeeeecharirsoiroissjfkjeijfldskkkkkssssksksksksks") my internet session would start of with several "’Oh-Oh’" sounds of ICQ messages that had been waiting for me. Man .. that…
Ever operating system has its pro’s and cons. Well some have more cons then pro’s but what the hey. And since i’m a cross platform slider, I get to play around with both Linux Osx and Windows. In every OS there is something I like, something I wish I could "port over" to the other…

One of the cool things in Linux is that you hardly any hardware to interact with it. No fancy GUI, no hardcore processor etc … If you just run in command line mode only you can run linux on a slow machine or interact with machines over a slow connection. Putty and the terminal are…
It doesn’t happen a lot, but from time to time it does. I have some time to kill and quickly flip out my laptop to write up a little post. A quick scan of the wifi-area makes me realise that … damn.. this is a wifi-free zone. So there you are. A computer full of…
You know these stupid questionnaires .. about how the average "Computer Geek" might know 15 people on the other side of the world but does not know what his or hers next door neighbour looks like ? You might call me one of those yeah. Well, both of us really. Our cellphone hardly rings with…
Every good rhythm needs a good break. Every race car needs the occasional pit stop. Every server needs a reboot. Every cyber-Citizen needs the occasional vacation. And thats exactly what I"ve been doing. I could say I would have been overly busy, swamped with real life or even write up a convincing post about an…
Hmm .. Thursday morning. Quick cappuccino before we are off for a day to Antwerp. As Nyana is getting ready to present her lovely sellf to the people of planet earth, I softly send tapping sounds along the silent kitchen, tapping away on my Ibook. Many of you who may read this might be in…

Its almost ten o’clock on this lovely summer evening. I sit outside, in the comfortable deckchair that overlooks our garden. The dramatic, almost pathetic screams of one of our neighbors peacocks echoes eerily through the silence of the city. A pale pink moon turns its face towards the setting sun over our ever rotating planet.…

There is a point in time where things change, where a balance tips, ever so slightly, from one side to the other. Where a moment in time, even so briefly as a day ago .. seems like an eternity. Where tomorrow becomes today and yesterday becomes a long time ago. Today I feel, is such…

I take a look at my computer screen and brush my gaze through the myriad of icons on the desktop. Each one representing a file i’m working on, a piece of music I like to listen to, or a picture I made with my digital camera or downloaded somewhere from the internet. Below my menu…
I have seen one of these little projectors a while ago on the web. A complete R2D2 media system : Very Cool. But these guys have taken it to the next level and pushed the geek factor up a little. The Little ARtoo unit is rigged to their Nagios Server Monitoring software and "alerts the…

Having installed hardy heron on my little EEE-pc I was very pleased to have a complete version of Ubuntu running on my little white companion. Gone are the native Xandros days where I would have to poke and pry to find a snippet of useful ( or interesting ) software in the EEE-repositories they had…
Having moved recently I find it peculiar to see how there are small but subtle differences between cities in the same region. We have moved south about 20 miles from Hasselt ( District capital of our province ) to a smaller town near the border. Where Hasselt can be described as a modern thriving city…
I seldom just "blog" about what I encounter on the net, to prevent the site turning into yet another link-blog. Nor do i like to "Follow the Herd" and do yet another repost of items every geek has seen ten times over. But sometimes fun stuff is like .. fun stuff. Like for example :…
