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

Centrino
I noticed that Intel’s pushing their Centrino technology (it’s not a chip, according to media it’s a three-part-package consisting of a Pentium M chip, an Intel 855 chipset and a wireless transceiver). You’ve probably seen the commercials starring two guys … 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

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

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

Morals
A couple of years ago I had a heated argument with a friend about morals. He argued that morals were stiffling creativity or even human progress. I agreed with the fact that some morals were typically overblown (and practically misused) … 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
