Bread and butter
Talking about food: researchers of the Leeds university (Great Britain) have found the formula for the perfect piece of toast. I do a bold prediction: by the year of 2123, every man will be able to create precious perfect toasts … Continue reading

HCC days
It’s probably (was?) the biggest commercial event in the Netherlands and it’s the HCC days (via Alfons). And to be honest, I have no idea what to think of it. In the late Eighties, early Nineties, we literally embarked on … Continue reading

Anti-semitism and Europe
The BBC focusses on anti-semitism in Europe and asks 12 experts the unevitable question: is anti-semitism really on the rise in European countries? It is no surprise that nearly all experts mention the fact that too many people confuse criticism … Continue reading

Gems, gems, gems
Looking through Internet archives for nothing particular I ran into this gem of a thread: ‘Will NT destroy UNIX?’ (scroll up to go to the start). 1994, mind you. Interesting (but old and now well known) computer tales about how … Continue reading

Back to ‘The Day after’
Imentioned the TV movie ‘The Day After’ (earlier) before, the movie that influenced many other fellow Europeans including me. Via Barefoot again, the notice that the movie was shot exactly 20 years ago. The article as linked above doesn’t only … Continue reading

Join the Army
Alfons has some pretty images (screenshots rather) of the game Call of Duty. He talks about scripted events, so I’m not sure if that’s a positive thing or not. The images remind me of the days I was called for … Continue reading

WebMin
When I was running Caldera’s OpenDesktop more than 3 years ago, I remember using Webmin to do quick changes to the system. I have no idea why I used it, but it did the job. Webmin, actually a couple of … Continue reading

Digital cams.
Yo buddy. Yes, you. I know you’re planning to buy a nice digital camera for your wife. Well, you say your wife, but you’d just like to have one yourself too, right? Well: we are running out of removable flash … Continue reading

Left. Right. Bash. Slash.
Over there: I point to Mark Buehner’s post as Exhibit A as proof that the Right (at least on this blog comment section) is ideologically bankrupt, has no ideas, and only knows how to scream “Shut the Fuck Up” really, … Continue reading

‘Dagje uit?’
Pretty images of Deventer leave warm feelings behind. It’s in Dutch (you do speak Dutch, do you?), and the photographer apparently took his/her time to shoot those pictures. Pretty. Basically, the article accompanying the pictures describes a touristic route straight … Continue reading

Warmly Weatherly Winter
Well, in theory it’s still Fall, but it should be much colder than the forecasted 15 degrees (Celsius that is). Not that I mind these double digit temperatures. I’m pretty sure we had a snowstorm around this time. However, I’ll … Continue reading
