Almost there
Fri 31/07/2009, 16:10 CEST
So,
My site is a crawling piece of rubbish right now. Can't be arsed to fix it/patch it (well, maybe I might do some new developing orso, dunno).
Main problem: My hostingprovider does not allow outbound connections through php, thus slowing down everything to a crawl. I used to fetch some rss-feeds for tweakers.net and slashdot.org and parse it into some column on the rigth-hand side... but alas, this no longer works. Maybe I should just disable it to kick up the loading speed of this page again.
Anyways, almost there I say. There where? Well, just a couple of more days and I'll be having some holidays and on to a new adventure. Quit my job, and looking forward to the future.
Yeah.. oh well, not that anybody is actually still reading this site. Might as well just trash it and create something new out of it
Like a proper CMS perhaps. Or some new CSS/layout. This obviously sucks.

Once in a while I have to update my site, with some ramblings orso....
Today I got a nice spammail with the following body:
Hoi. Mijn naam is Natalia. Ik eenzame meisje zonder schadelijke gewoonten. ik 29 jaar. Ik zoek een man van 32 jaar voor ernstige relaties. mijn e-mail: natolove29@yahoo.com het gemakkelijker voor mij. Ik kan sturen brief en de foto elkaar. Natalia
It's in dutch, but darn! She's looking for ERNSTIGE relaties!
Ernstig
Don't you just love online translators?

you stumble across something quite amazing.

hmmm
just slowly starting to get used to my own little place... haven't moved all my stuff yet, but getting there. Hovering between two places is rather crappy. Oh well

visited countries of the world
Thu 26/07/2007, 21:35 CEST
Ah, way back in 2005 I already posted something similar...
now I just updated the countries a bit.
Not too many have been added, just Spain and Hungary
Went to Finland and Sweden too often (although that is a debatable subject, especially Finland...)

debian 4.0 / gnome
Tue 10/07/2007, 22:21 CEST
well,
couple of weeks ago i made the transition from windowmaker to using a full fledged gnome desktop. So far, not disappointed at all. Sometimes the WM (metacity) acts a bit sluggish, but overall, I can get around quite ok.
Yeah, I'm getting lazy by moving from windowmaker to gnome, some stuff gets easier using the gui. Still figuring out how the keyboard can be used more optimally (like, keyboard combos to fire up programs.. is about all i need right now..... desktop switching turned out to be a breeze)
oh yeah, this is just some lame filler message, haven't really felt like updating this page.

Nerdtest, second take
Fri 25/05/2007, 15:49 CEST
Well, just for fun, I redid the nerdtest, after seeing it posted on theo's weblog.
Here are the results:
<alt>I am nerdier than 99% of all people. Are you a nerd? Click here to find out!</alt>
(crap, just noticed I need to build in alt-support in my regular expressions)
Well, that's a nice improvement. Probably because I bought a telescope recently ^_^
Here are the results:
0% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
99% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!

dear blog,
I have really been staying away from things. Well, shrug, once in a while I'll still post something
Just been very busy, not much to say actually, I should just ditch this site, or redesign it or do something useful with it.
Anyways, as the title suggests..... Hungary! Now, what's up with that?
For starters, 2nd weekish of august there is the Sziget music festival in Budapest. I'll be there! Oh yeah....... 2nd of all, I just came back from almost a week in Hungary. Stayed at a camping in well, the middle of nowhere.
Had great night skies to watch with binoculars (yes, I've finally taken up things a bit with a childhood hobby, astronomy ) and my little Meade ETX70 telescope. Saw some nice things which I hadn't seen before (Beehive cluster is one of them, forgot the Messier number though >_< sorry! But you can find it in the constellation of Cancer. Right in between Leo and Gemini 
)
Yeah... Hmmm, well, going to take a bath now.
Cheerios
