Battle for Wesnoth

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. Fight a desperate battle to reclaim the throne of Wesnoth, or take hand in any number of other adventures…

I just discovered this trough Mini's Suse installation & .. Gotta love it :)

Its just a Fuckin Great game!


also :s Suse doesnt seem to be made for real online upating. True you can add an online source, but its still a source with a certain version like 10.1 so in the end you wont get any new versions which is exactly what I would expect from web updateing! Guess I'm spoilt with Gentoo.. altough the later ofcourse does have its downsides

Sleep now coz I fear mini s just fallen asleep on the couch :(

a rant?

Yeah, I might have a really big rant in store about the whole tent deal. Before I knew how it went I was slightly amused, totally puzzled and curious.
Now I'm just dissapointed and such..
or maybe I do feel a lil stronger about the thing.

But thats for later on!

My brother in law's mariage..

We had a nice time :)
It felt like this great ride to which I had been given a ticket.. And it was fun. The alternative service was great..

For some reason tough I had to endure the embarassement of trodding around with a 11kg tent, but to the people who got it there, its pure logic, so no problem there either (to them at last) .. Sometimes I REALLY dont understand the people surrounding me. But since I'm the only one thinking like that, it ll once again be me. What where they thinking..

Anywho.. it was a great experience, I had lots of fun and now know once more some more people in The Family, so Yaay!

Sleep now

To Prove Sam Wrong

That is, indeed, the reason for this writing spree. or even a binge, but that would probably be an overstatement. This is a certain case of Hyper Concetration. Concentration that nig that one has the opportunity but also urge to Forget all Around him. A true writing binge. 4 straight hours of type o matic art, flowing unlimited, .. you know what I mean.. No doubts there.

Just one of the freaks, in the freak kingdom

.. What should one do.. Take the following situation into consideration!
Four people, having a nice and cosy evening. Chatting away at topics idle or otherwise. All huddled around a plate of Innocent looking Brownies.. Nice picture hey! Well, think again!
DOPE FIENDS! Yes, you re reading this alright. DOPE FEINDS! (do notice the alternating typings of the former word. This being a clear case of the Weird word case.. Y all know what I mean, right) So, to recap, Dope Fiends!
Lil does the casual observer realise that underneath the cotton image we see here, lies the harsh reality of the addicted mind! Lil does Anyone realise that the innocent platter of cookies is in reality a form of Drugs!
Soon after the start of this nice meeting, those criminals dig into the "Goodies" as these sick minded folks pass it off. They "Dig In" into their "Goodies" and soon after (about an hour in reality) they start experiencing Intoxication. Yes, Intoxication. This drug, this Adiction is like a poison, eating away their common perceptions of the modern world. These People, because they are unlike what one would consider, still People and more that a common animal, a dog or a Cat!. They dream away at colors and establish new world orders In Their Minds! They experience utter stupidity and call it Genious. Because THAT is what drugs do, They Mess Up Young Peoples Minds!

And with that thought in mind I would like to mention "Plop" and wish y all a nice night.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. - HsT

Linux HD :s

My linux HD is acting Very Weird!!
I needed something Urgently today so I had to boot it up & .. It Worked :s

No noise, no smoke, ...
Its broken, no doubt there
but .. It still works without any further problems or damage! Except the external burn marks, you d say its a normal HD!


Sleep now
tomorrow s working day :s

Supreme Commander

I was talking to vleer a while ago about Total Annihilation. And so it turns out.. They re making a new one. Same concept slightly different name, different story, advanced technology .. but in the end its the same cool game. Small robots, huge maps, fuck resources, super evil cool technology, .. I'm looking forward to it :)

I might have to upgrade my box to play it (might? will!) but it ll be WORTH IT :D

I am positively enraged

I had some bad luck just now and .. aarghl
yeah, I am enraged! AARGHL

And I now have the urge to boot my box with a live cd & guess what, I dont have it bc I borrowed it to someone
AAARSE

Holy Shit

My Linux HD just turned into an overbaked French Fry (which are actually Belgian fries, but it already too far to correct that mistake) My Linux HD just FRIED. An old 20g perfect to run my OS from. and it just produced a whole lot of smoke. I unplugged it and prevented aggrevated damage, but its toast. I managed to boot it again & am now saving some Important data (emails for example) but its become a hazard.

.. now, what the fuck should I do. I'm low down cashed out. I really DO NOT have ANY money to buy a new HD! And its not as if I can keep install on one of my data disks! That would just Not do! I'm glad I noticed it in time & I'm glad its not one of my data disks!

Aaarghl! Why This & Why Now!!!
Luckilly I backed up /etc & /boot so I'll have some info to look config stuff up when I reinstall the bitch

This really ends an era! Ive been with that box for a long time & this is the first time I have a major failure. Every other time Ive had crap with it it was because I was changing stuff & messed something up. This is a wholy different thing. This is Hardware Failure!
Ofcourse I'm already looking forward to reinstalling it, better this time. More of that good stuff, no more redundant crap, you know what I mean ;)

What A Bitch
And just now when I got that ACPI stuff working.. DAMN!
DAMN DAMN DAMN

Then again, I shall now attempt to make a customised Live CD! A live cd that shall require NO screen, that shall serve me trough Samba & SSH! YES!
*cries* Why the fuck now :( I mean.. I was just trough the lot of shit & now THIS! It really does never stop and I'm comming to accept that! And I'm happy that I realise this so that I can accept it as a thing of life & move on! Be happy! Accepting that things will go wrong and altough its a nuicance, its also life and unchangeable. And accept it. Yes, a Great lesson!

A live cd will also be a nice adventure.
.. :)
I'm growing curious to what my school results are. They re just a click away & I can take it now.
hehe


And at the end of it all, there s still Azalin and Strahd to disctract me & Mini to comfort me. She s of great support to me & I really need that


So, on to greener pastures!

Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered,
those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid.
Thus the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win

Vandalism is a Product of Society

Think about it!

Thursday, June 08, 2006

My blood is too thick for HTML

..
So dont give me that asp.net shit
Its a chip off the same block
Bweuh
& I'll be doing it again in the summer
At least I'll be able to code some upfront then!

Damn these alergies of mine
they re getting the upper hand and I resent them for it
I feel like I could sleep sitting (or shitting .. Yeah, I KNOW you thought you read that first.. you perv!)

.. I feel like opening every window & yelling random parts of Fear and Loathing to random passer by's
Maybe I should have a drink.. I really should! This is nothing a stiff whiskey cant solve!


.. Or maybe I should just go to bed
Whiskey s tempting but you have to actively fight even the remote possibility of alcoholism. And since I said I wont drink during the exams, I'll just wait till tomorrow to get me some lickor.. But tomorrow evening, my best friend ll be Lagavoolin - yeah .. Or wait, this really sounds sad.
So in reality (coz you do all realise this is pure fiction, do you?) I'll just end up having 1 or 2 glasses tomorrow depending on my mood.. I might even have none. Who 'll tell. I will, Tomorrow!


So, Off to bed!
after I just check this examplary exam.. Which wil undoubtably resemble in No Way the exam I'll be facing tomorrow. 4 pages, all multiple choice, no coding? .. why not.


Sleep!

Fixed

Yeah, I got it fixed

I loathe to have moved my box, but .. well .. Its ok now :)
and it works! If I push once, it starts a shutdown in 5 .. 4 .. .....
and if I push a second time, the shutdown gets canceled :)

So Paartey!
Pitty i cant do much more with that acpi thingy
Still! Its Cool!

One thing more on the completed list

Sleep! Wo mini :(
Love ya hon :)

Auch

So, go figure
I get my linux to shutdown when I push the powerbutton
I shutdown my comp.. everything to wish
except I neglected the fact that the default action for that button was still there. I tought I neednt disable that, but I did

& hey, go figure.. shutdown creates a /etc/nologin file.. and I checked when that file gets deleted when I wrote it to cancel the shutdown if someone presses the powerbutton again.. so hey, whooptidoo! everybody happy

Think again! shutdown in 5 minutes. nologin file created. shutdown starting, whooptido, push the button again, nothing happens. Np, I had an open terminal so I just had to cancel it manually.. thus having shutdown delete the nologin file automatically..

.. well... if it werent for the whole default "init 0" action.
so it shut down, which was ok.. But it left the "nologin" file in place. Effectively blocking me from loging into my box over SSH. SO! I'll have to boot it with a screen to acces it again AND I'll probably have to download & burn a gentoo image to repair it since I gave my only livecd to Anne when she needed it

A A R G H L ! ! !

And did I mention that I dont have any download left in my broadband rate.

KOCKAARSEEEEAH!


AND ON TOP OF IT ALL I HAVE TO SLEEP ALONE! WITHOUT VIONA! SINCE SHE S IN THE FUCKING NETHERLANDS!

*Puke*

Recording Test

Well, shelli, here s a test :)

I just wanted to know if my hardware still worked, so its a quicky! I'll record you a full one later on. Nevermind the weirdness :D

Ghost in the Shell

Thanks to a friend, I was able to watch the whole first season & I am happy to say that this story, combined with the movie about covers the original story as it appeared in commic version!

When I saw the movie - long time ago - I was dissapointed about some aspects of it, because it left some storyparts unmentioned. Even after the second one, I was quite dissapointed. I am glad to say that this series set the record straight and I cant wait to get my hands on the Second Season!

The series is kinda heavy, as expected since it a Massamune Shirow, so I'll need a nights sleep to think about it. But I think I get it :)


Next on the list is another one of my fav series, Appleseed!
I wonder if the recent movie covers the great commics (Damn, I need to finish those, curse Dark Horse for being so Expensive :s) And to be honest.. I'm not that confident


Anywho.. :)
Gotta Love Stand Alone Complex :D

Time is ticking away

I have too lil a time & too much things on my hands..

I am cutting down on my projects

Its a good thing.. I should start studying and already I'm cutting down on my projects. meaning I'm not starting any new ones :) And most of 'em are on hold atm! I could continue the RoD project.. I could continue or even start a number of other projects..

Also, I have tons of books now.. 6 to be precise, I already started the first one, but .. I'm not getting into it. At any rate, this is all good news when it comes to school

The only thing I hope is that my PC parts will arive soon! I REALLY need them to start studying on a certain course. I plan to study it by doing a small project for RoD.. I hope it goes well, fast! Because if it does.. Ill be able to learn it all trough practice (the only way to do it) and it ll mean I'll be able to finish that project.

I dont feel like going into details, but it ll help a lot once I get it finished!

What can I say

I'm still in a tumultuous time in my life
& blogging has been low lately
maybe I should do regular cellphone posts :s Maybe that d help :s Maybe..

works ok
schools ok
studying should start any time now
running hopefully tomorrow after work altough I kinda doubt it considering my hours

PC parts ordered.. Looking forward to it
bought lots of books today
Bought new shoes lately
bought new pants today
bought some other stuff
will order new T's soon

I was in desperate need of more clothing :)

And now, off to bed!

.. thinking about piercings & burns & tats again..


and mini ofcourse :D

Status Report

I got my RoD stuff partially done. I'm ok on schedual now..
I still have stuff to do, but I have the time to do it too.

Work was heavy yesterday. I'm already scared for Saturday.. 11hour shift? I'm scared!
next days will be 4 hour days..

I'm going to have a decent pc soon..
I just need a Screen (I'll probably buy a CRT) & a HD (300g Maxtor, anyone - to put in the fileserv so I can use the 80g in there for my Desktop box :D)
I'll probably also buy a card reader thing *rolleyes* & I might also buy a DVD writer. Altough I do wonder if I need that :s I'll probably buy one anyway
And then I only need something to fill that 2nd big ugly hole :s ... I am NOT buying a temprature lcd!! That shit is Gaay! If only I could put in a regular LCD that connects to whatever port & gives INTERESTING info :) (like HD usage, load, .....) Altough I could probably put that to better use in my Serv.. eeh :)
& I hope the comp doesnt turn out too noisy! :/


Vi s getting better! Her shoulder is healing
Slowly but certainly
:)


And lastly.. I still have a lot of work for my next week school deadline. As a matter of fact, I'm really throwing all the work in starting tomorrow. & I'll try to relax with RoD work.
If I manage to make a print tool & a GR tool I'll be happy. If I have time I'll also do a property thing.. ... And thats about the max I see happening before RoD. Duisterhoop has been a rough ride. Its been hard!
And I'm NOT losing it again :)


I'm looking forward to having a desktop again :)
And then I'll be able to work on PC - Laptop at the same time again. Lovely!
Programming with the needed DBs on the other screen
Lovely!

7 sins?

Make it 8..
deviantART: DeaDLY SiN BaBieS by =DestinyBlue

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

I'm Back!

I first typed a :) after that, but.. in the end, its not that a happy thing, I liked it more over there. The air was fresher, sun warmer, more snow (no snow here), .....

It was great! Really!

But first things first.
We had an awfull trip. This was my worst experience with Halloween so far. I can hardly express how bad the bus drivers were. I got on the bus and got this feeling of foreboding doom. I NEVER had a bad feeling about a bus, but this time, it was hell. Then the prick dropped us on some square with ever so vague instructions on where to go. We ran all around the place to find where the fuck we needed to go and talked to a dozen of people. All the time hoping for some Halloween twat to help us, greet us, whatever.. But in the end we found it on our own tnx to the tourist office.

I was terrified about the whole weather thing. But once there the weather turned out fine. The first few days the weather was great. Sun all around. Some brown spots outside the pistes but no further complaints. About mid week I started fearing for the snow condition. And guess what, a nice half a day of snow :) Enough to get trough the rest of the week on fresh snow. I had a wonderfull 2 days of Hors Piste. 2 days of woderfull powder. I had GREAT rides! And the oppertunity to break everyone in on the powder. And I can say we ve got some addicts :)

Reinaldo did as most of us already feared. Most of us expected it happen in a halfpipe, but .. It happened mid week. On wednesday, we were riding & spotted a nice piece of powder, just next to the piste. We rid it and .. well, we had a plan. I rode first and watched him go. He started, but after 2 meters he changed his mind and raced down to the piste. A nice lil jump to make, only he made a small mistake & it cost him his ancles!

On the list of casualties is also Vleer with severe chest pains, Bio with a bruise on his bum, as big as his head! and Iris with hurt knees and thumb. The aforementioned could all continue their fun, Reinaldo couldnt :/

Viona s level is astonishing :) She really overcame A LOT of fear this week! She s able to take any type of chair lift. Even the scary old one that smacks you into its seat on departure, bores the hell out of you because his slow travel speed and scares the lot out of you when you need to get off.. Also, she overcame all her doubts on pistes where she didnt even want to look down of at the start of the week!
I was even able to teach her te turns even tough she was very sceptic about learning tactics (and I did Nothing wrong, I swear! No naked stuff or whatever!)
I'm proud :)

As for me.. I had a great time! Im really glad about my level at the moment! I can snowboard everywhere at a relaxed pace, I dont fall anymore, .. I still have some bad habits when I get tired or whatever, but.. all n all I'm happy about where I'm at!
.. Even jumping over lil streams & stuff.. Yeah!
& I had some Wonderfull powder :) Gotta love Risoul! Really!
I also customised my snowboard with a custom made 30cm sticker, the Ring of Doom logo! Its great, really :) I'm waiting for pictures from our ChopChoyWarrior.. anytime now .. I'm quite anxious to post them :D My board looks great!


And so we got back!
we had a hell of a bus trip, Vleer forgot his snowboard boots on the bus (I had to get them later someplace), but all n all the laurel & hardy looking bus drivers were 2 sympathetic blokes. They even left the toilets open without bitching about it!! Great blokes :)


Now, getting back really meant the end of my vacation. No time to lose, hell no.
The same night (about 9h after leaving the bus) I had a job interview! And guess what, I got accepted! I now have 14 days of trial period and I'll be making Mad Money :D
It really takes a load of, to be able to make money again!!

Thursday, March 30, 2006

Only ONE more day till we leave for Risoul!!

And its looking good! Checkit!
last snow yesterday :D
& Sun

So we ll all come home looking like ..
hehe

Bouyah!
Cant wait to leave

How to prevent hearing loss

An article about a future we should all expect
Hearing problems!

I already have some friends who show these signs
Not only show signs of, but also who have problems because of it.

Its a problem!

Tuesday, March 21, 2006

Viona,

I never take anything for granted
Only a fool maybe takes things for granted
Just because it's here today
It can be gone tomorrow
And that's one thing that you
Never in your life ever have to worry about me
If I'll ever change towards you because
Baby I love you
Yeah I love you
Just the way... You are...

Don't go changing, trying to please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard
I just want some someone to talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from my heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.


I d like to thank Mr Barry White (coz Barry White Is Alright!!) for the lyrics
& Viona for giving me a reason to put them online!

I love you, honey ;)

I am SLOWLY going insane

It looks like there ll be no sleep for me tonight!
Altough I might just go to bed right now

I dont know what to do :s
This junk Win XP has Terminal Services missing (dont ask me how, its just like that)
This means, however, that I Can Not debug my ASP 2005 pages.
A lil disaster!
Try writing code in a fairly new language (c#) on a pc thats too slow to code ASP on with no way whatsoever of even throwing in a breakpoint

..
I'm tired
I dont know if I'll finish this one
Yet I SHOULD

Its quite a pathetic combination, all n all!

.. Problem is also
I got up quite early today


This aint working
Debugging is tough enough with the right tools (I dont Really mean this)
Try doing it with Nothing At All
Certainly since I ve gotten used to them tools over the last weeks!


Its going better than I expected
tough I still have a lot of trouble, I am already a lot further that I would have expected an hour ago!
Still wierd stuff going on!
I dont trust it :/

Yet the problem now still is dual.. a, I wont get to that class if I dont sleep, the state i'm in... b, I still have to code a check for the game. & we re talking about some nice recursion here :/

Im quite close to an approximate of the assignment.. ... fucking sessions!

& after that there s still the recursion to handle :/


I have arrived at a Dead End!
All I can do now is give up on the session thing & write the recursion thing
which I wont even be able to test!

Thats gonna be a Nice One :/


.. and so I finished the bitch!
Its not Working
but with a lil help (like typing 2 scentences I fear) it ll be fully operational..
Ofcourse I can never be sure. Writing a recursive method without any oportunity to test.. is risky at least.
Anyhow, I'm going to mail it in Right Now


& then I FINALLY get to go to bed with Mini!
That ll be my reward for this freakin night of C# & ASP!

.. Oh My
I just got an error..
Lets HOPE its no problem :'(
Ah! apparently its just the search junk acting up!



Email sent..
lets hope the text is decent enough
& not to personal or whatever


And now to the most important part :)
hugs with mini :)
I only hope I dont wake her :s She s due for getting up any minute now :(

My IMDB comments

Yeah, made an IMDB acount a while ago
and, I felt like doing some comments.
So without further ado, here s my comment page!
Yeah, I know you dont care, but think about this.. what do I care :p

& now I should REALLY get to bed!

I finally solicited

I finally got to writing a letter ive been putting of for days and years before that.

Times of need.. I guess ..
anyhow, I hope to get a positive response :) Its a job I wanted to do for a long time already. And I AM looking forward to it. I can use any cent I can get. And I d rather get it in a nice way :) Not that I'm afraid of the dirty or unpleasant ones, but if a chance arises..

I'd really love to work at the Illy cafe next door! It d be nice .. & convienient :)
I really like the atmosphere of that place. To drink at leasr, but I imagine it d be the same to work there. I'm quite sure I'm qualified.
But they dont need anyone :) & I cant go break the curent guys legs, can I :) Altough it would probably solve the problem (at least for a while) lol - The coffee is having its effect on my thinking, hehe

I'm getting .. ok to go to sleep .. I think
Normally Id stay awake for some more hours without any tought to it. And I could! But .. my life is changed .. and lets leave it at that, no use in trying to put a value on it all. Its for the better in the end.


I think I'll go read some more "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell".. A surprising book by Susanna Clarke that has me captured at about 110 pages a day.
And maybe even call it a day!


The only thing I pitty is having to go to bed without my darlig Mini.
I do love her :) A Lot :)
I miss you, babey!

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Pulse

according to this site, my pulse is within the acceptable.

84 a minute, accoring to my new count (a lil more acurate since this time is was 42 with 30 secs)

So no worries :)
I should really start running again
& I should get a pulsemeter.
I d love to start doing cardio training again, as I did while I was doing fitness 2 to 3 to ... a week.

Yeah, I really feel like doing something about my health or more acurately my stamina
lol


I'm curious how I'll be able to keep up with my usual snowboarding rythm.
I'm looking forward to Risoul
I'm LONGING for Risoul!
And I'm curious about what Risoul will do to me in terms of memories :)

.. I remember a sight, a couple I saw there last time & .. I wouldnt be surprised if I see a guy like me (some years ago) watching me I viona as we stand where that couple stood.. I was kinda yealous then & now .. Ive found what I was looking for :) Im happy!
I only hope Mini does well with the snowboarding!

I'm jittery

I just had 2 small cups o coffee.. With condensed & sugared milk :D Hehe Im on a cofee rush & a big one for that matter :D
Got my heartbeat at 80 beats a minute.. (20 beats a 15 seconds to be precise) Cant remember if thats high or very high. I'm sure tough that its not low :)

I miss my mini! She went home for the evening, has some stuff to do, but for some reason I didnt realise she was going home untill she told me this morning. (for the Xth time already probably) And it was quite a nasty shock for that.. I didnt like it. I instantly started missing her. If I had known up front it d have been no problem, but since it just kinda fell on my head, I was Really .. shocked!
Dont get me wrong here, I'm glad she did. I'm proud, since going home is always a dificult step (try preparing yourself for an hour of public transport, 2 or 3 changes between busses and trains and a lot of waiting time. Its not nice.
ANYHOW, I miss her :/
And I Love her :) hihi


I also had a .. funny moment today
actually it was SHIT!

Stitch called me yesterday saying some kids had gotten my password (lets not go into details here). As he described how, I laughed and said there was no way that was possible. I even chalenged them. Well, seems I was wrong. The whole thing wasnt the way I expected and .. they were right. It was as easy as reading.
.. Is there a lesson in this? Probably..
...
But I wont go into that.. Actually I'm not sure yet about what exactly I will draw from this experience. There IS one conclusion I've already decided upon..
But again, lets get into that in a later post!


I wrote some fun software the day before yesterday.. A program to pour database info into a text, runtime formatted with tags.. It was fun
And I got the plan for some very handy software too.. A new version of the thing I wrote. A tool to condense the aforementioned database into a neat rulebook.
Another neat thing that ll surely make our life A LOT easier

RoD is good for my creativity! I finally get enough inspiration to write handy & decent software.
And Gent is good for my initiative, since here I can finally write all the great software I think up :D

..
yeah, I miss my mini..
But she s going to call me anytime soon :D (she promissed)

Encyclopodia - the encyclopedia on your iPod

I'm actually quite confused about this..

I understand what it is, what it does, .. but ..
Do I WANT wiki on my pod?? :s I'm seriously considering & thats a lot already!
And do I want to sacrifice 700mb to it.. I mean, I only have a 40g model!! :s

and also.. are there other uses like this?
And most of all!! How can I make my own of these eBooks? I have the RoD wiki Id love on my ipod on the one hand and a lot of ebooks on the other!! hmmmmmm


Mini s at work! Thinking about her makes me smile :)

2 years!

Hell Yeah!


Ive been doin this for TWO YEARS!
Can you (or anyone) imagine??
This is Incredible!

What started out as a "hey, this is a wierd plugin, lets give it a try" has turned out to be a 2 year thing.. Been a lil slow sometimes but some things have ups and downs, so.. :)

Memory Lane :)

So I started blogging.. wierd
but hey.. thats Life
posted at 7:26 PM by Dgn


So thats it, 2 years :)
If anyone ever reads the whole thing, post me a comment or eMail about my mental state :D
This is probably a quite .. acurate window into my mind! Maybe I should take it off, not keep this kind of info on the interweb.. but I wont :)

So this is it, My 2 yrs blogging aniversary :)
I might do a post about these two years later.. but Not Today!

EVERYONE hates GTA :D This is Great, I love that game! It keeps on getting better & better. I cant wait for the next PC game to come out & I keep hoping that they ll bring one on the DS soon! :D (altough I know nintendo better than that, they really wouldnt risk any GTA titles on their consoles.. Still :D Gotta LOVE GTA :D

Note their quite late reaction by the way..
And the morale this outcry contains..

all very ironic

RE: Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus

Another Unbelievably outrages MS story!
Its sad..


An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Washingtonpost.com, the latest definitions file for Microsoft's Anti-Spyware beta flags Symantec's Norton Antivirus products as a password-stealing trojan and prompts users to delete portions of the program. Users who follow the instructions hose their installation of Norton, requiring delicate Windows registry edits and a complete removal/reinstall of Norton. Microsoft's support forum is quickly filling up with complaints about this problem, many from businesses that have been pretty hard hit. This should be a cautionary tale about deploying beta products in production environments."

MSN Messenger

messenger is eigenlijk slecht bezig..

Als ge den tendens ziet, zijn ze altijd maar een zwaardere en ingewikkeldere suite aant maken waar ge uiteindelijk waarschijnlijk mee op de maan ga kunnen landen


Nu, als we naar t verleden kijken leren we dat dat helemaal niet interessant is! Au fond is da de teloorgang van ICQ geweest! Icq was groot, uitgebreid, log en zwaar. Opstarten duurde een eeuwigheid en t was nimeer toegankelijk.
Toen kwam MSN. Msn was licht. Msn was simpel (het afschaffen van een nr & vervangen door een email adres & de compatibiliteit me hotmail zal er ookwel mee te maken gehad hebben & t feit dat t in windows zat mss ookwel) Alle nieuwe gebruikers gingen op MSN, ICQ was te moeilijk / te zwaar en de ICQ ppl veranderden ook al snel naar MSN want .. iedereen zat op MSN & wat iedereen erover zei bleek ook waar.. dus leve msn! Ondanks het feit dat de meeste mensen die ICQ gewend waren wel wat dingen misten en haatten aan MSN..

Als we nu kijken.. Ik installeer de laatste 2 msn's al nimeer op mijn laptop want het is te zwaar geworden, me msn kunt ge tegenwoordig al spellekes spelen, video conferencing, desktops overnemen, NOG meer speciale smilies & dergelijke, ..

Msn zit goed op t pad dat ICQ kapot gemaakt heeft.
anderzijds, zal msn het makkelijker uithouden door de windows combinatie, hotmail combinatie, ..
Maar wat gaat t geven als bvb google nen deftigen & lichten tegenpool brengt ism hunnen gmail (die ontegensprekelijk supperieur is aan hotmail), ..


.. time will tell its tale, I guess
& MS heeft blijkbaar niet uit t verleden geleerd!


Ah & ik gebruik GAIM (met daarin makkelijk bijeen alle protocollen die ge u maar kunt bedenken)



This is a small view on the path MS is walking with their ever expanding MSN client. I posted it on a school messageboard, so its in dutch..
Have fun

touch $psave


# starten van xboard
xboard $load $zwart $coords $autos $save




There we go.. a script to start xboard with the needed info. You have to have an existing game to be able to do this (just save one & then start using the script) It checks if some files exist to prevent losing your game to empty files.
This way you can also just watch the whole thing

What can I say, I rather spend time writing this than clicking on stupid messages!

If anyone stumbles on this & wants the english comments, feel free to email me or post a comment!

& now im off to bed

Without my mini :(
but she had fun, thats most important :)
& I got a good nights worth of work done :)

I also had 3 pots of tea with Bio.
The new one is Great!

Sleep!

(my DS is even greater than I tought. I just rediscovered Mario Kart DS & finished the 50cc races!)

I feel like using IPv6.. I wonder if my router can handle it
Last chapters, no toilet so far :s

IPv6 - I guess not.. Tough Ill delve into it later.. it d be a nice thing to have, not that it would matter, but hey :D It might break DS compatibility tough - And we Cant risk that can we!

It might, its acting wierd

Its screwing up trafic
& its gone by now

anywho, Im ready
Toilet with HsT
& SLEEP WITH MINI!!!!!!!

Just Me: Blog Life vs. Real Life

This is a post I comment I tried to give on Sissys page, but I got horibly confused, tried to "email this to a friend" where I gave her email adress I got from her profile, only to try & send it, notice it has a 300char limit & .... to then send a short version cursing the system & telling her my reply will be on my own site, if she cares to read it.. To THEN find the real comment option where I posted the following. Its pretty self explenatory I guess.. and as to why the messup? Its 5 in the morning! cut me some slack

FUCK, I just confused the "mail this to a friend" option with the "comment" option! Im so very very sorry! Anywho, here s the reply as I typed it in the wrong box & sorry again for the probably very wierd email! (this is plain embarassing)

I need your email to comment? thats new :s Anywho, Im back :)

The issue you re talking about here is something I think every blogger should at least consider before trusting their valuable toughts and feelings (diary) to the intwerweb. The anonimity of the masses..

I know the feeling you describe here. I never made a secret of my blog (you do remember me & it, do you?? :p) and I actually stimulated some of my friends to read my gruesome secrets. But in the end, it does make me wary of what I type. Each letter I put down, each word has me consider if I want anyone to know this.

In the end, the result is that I write less open than I could. There are things I dont want certain people to read, so to be on the safe side I just dont write them. On the other hand, I dont have the need to write those few oppinions down. And I'm really blunt and honest most of the time, so there s really not much I have to leave out. But there is, and thats because I realise that by putting my deepest soul stirrings online, I make them known to all who are faintly interested.


What am I saying here? (I know, it gets fuzzy, but thats because I wont reread it at this time o day when I should either be sleeping or studying!) Making your blog even more public than it already is might be quite a big step. But then again, there s already the posibility that people are reading what you write (ever tried to google yourself? it can be an angsty experience)! So how much would it Really change?


Most people dont talk to me about what they read in my personal internet diary. And those who do and come bitching about it on top of it all, get one simple answer.. "You read my personal blog. Its online so you can read it. But that doesnt mean I want to talk about it with you! So live with the fact that that is indeed what I think or stop reading my blog! Remember, I didnt ASK you to read it!"
And this kind of reaction mostly works :)


I hope I didnt just spew a large chunk of characters, impossible to combine to a text :)
Altough I ve been gone for a while (I moved to Gent with my GF), I'm back now, so you might get more comments soon :D

take care :)

Hey mister tambourineman, play a song for me

I had a chat session to the depths of my recent past. Dark pits of turmoil i've been trying to find out more about. In vain.

I really want to go to bed together with mini again soon! I really miss that :/ The thought of her being asleep & me going to bed next to her, scared of waking her.. its not nice!
I love her :)

one less to go
what? exams!
How did it go? ask my teach, she s got the data, not me


I watched a lot of series today & it felt GOOD! it had been a while since I was able to do that & .. hell yeah!

I also realised that the whole column thing is a funny given. What I do here, resembles at times what a column could or would be. I'll have to look up "column" to be positive about it all, but I have the idea that I'm all n all pretty close already.
Still, I should get started on a fixed day post on the Gent post!

I still dont have my DS! MotherFuckers!
Im giving up hope on them calling tomorrow. Its a dream Ive been cherishing for 2 weeks now. Everyone has a limited attention and expectation span. And right now im losing interest in waiting!
I could have BUILT my own by now! Talking about service!


So, on to bed, the next exam and more waiting for my DS.
topped with a delicious sauce of love. Viona as those who know about my situation call it :)

Monday, January 16, 2006

Cobol..
should go OK tomorrow.. Not entirely sure
but it should be doable.
Im kinda jittery about the whole not open book thing, the whole cobol pocket thingie now.. As I discovered in the tests, the big book really did come in handy! I hope I manage without it

I had a short summary of the projects Id like to achieve, in programming..
Priority at
* Porting my administrative software to .net - probably quite a task
* Writing Duisterhoop, the RoD admin software I'll be using in may (deadline) from scratch (again) in .net this time
and if I find the time, Id like to redo the RoD website in database driven PHP. I can hardly believe its not db driven yet, but whatever, the fact of the matter is that I want to redo it in PHP & that I REALLY should. An easy alterable interface is the goal. Easy for adding stuff & easy for layouting the piece of ****

The chess game with Tom is going along fine :) fun concept, mail a move a day. Can hardly wait to see what his move ll be tomorrow! Also :) Ive been playing some chess against gnuchess lately & .. DAMN ive been getting my arse kicked. In ways I didnt see coming over & over again. I do notice that Im getting better at it. Playing against a pc is less encumberant than vs a human. I can just let it hang & do different stuff, to continue later on. Its great!

I STILL do not have my DS
The girl said a week to two weeks. Well, monday's two weeks, honey, so I expect to hear your sweet voice on my phone. Telling me my order has arrived, to pick up at my discresion. Which will be noon. (you see, its all planned already. The fuckers wont know what hit them) Then to put it on the net for loading of batteries (maybe play for a sec, but possibly not, because of my exam at 13.30)


And now, for a small HsT quote..
It was the right thing to do, we had no choice. We are, after all, professionals.

I finished HsT's Hells Angels (interesting read!) and have now started in Generation of Swine. Gonzo papers vol 2. Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s

With a hint of Mister Tambourine Man on the background. Great Song, Tnx Mr Bob Dylan!


I had a thought today..
I wonder if I would be able to maintain a weekly column. Maybe I shoyld try it as an item on my blog.. But that d probably be a problem due to not being in reach of a pc all the time & stuff like that. Or maybe I should put it on the RoD site? Or maybe on the New and Revamped RoD site? Or maybe on cone? ..? Or another blog? I might even have one haning someplace.. Or maybe on the Gent blog.. Thats probably the best place anywho! .. yeah, I Should do that!
I'll think some more about it in the sleepless minutes to come


SLEEP!

Wikipedia

Im amazed by how many people DONT know wikipedia or the whole "wiki" concept

and Im not talking about illiterate fucks or whatever, I'm talking about friends in the tech department who havent heard about it

..

Amazing!
Amazing that such an interesting concept and social experiment can go unnoticed, even by people who specialise in the technology that carries it..
And indeed, missing an interesting concept isnt that hard on the internet
but it does seem so if its constantly in the news, undeniably Huge, incredibly usefull and even gets the frontpage coverage in national newspapers!

Sleep

next to my beloved :)
Have I mentioned lately how CUTE my girlfriend is? :D

Sony Reader

omg this is HOT!
I dont want it yet, but when it turns normal.. DANG!

I ve got a lot of PC text Id just LOVE to read this way :D

Studying & Wiki

Studying went ok today..

& Im having a great deal of fun with the RoD wiki :)
I can hardly wait for it to go live!

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

Serv s back OK btw
A keyb & a screen quickly helped me realise they had changed the net file to a new format.

So I had an error on the net configuration (figures) and no network. Next I had to update my DHCP but with no IP thats kinda hard, so I had to go by a fixed IP to solve it all. I got lucky there, the router didnt complain

& now its completely Fresh, with updated software, working DHCP & all. Partey!


Still dont have my DS tough :/

Ring of Doom Wiki!

Thadaa!
RoD now Officialy has a wiki
Its still being prepped for the launch
but its there & there s already some info in place!

I hope it catches on with the Crew & gets filled some in the next days so that we can quickly move on to the next step of our launchplan :D

Sleep now! :/

Slashdot | Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal

One bridge too far
or one law in this case - AGAIN

I'm SO happy I live in belgium & not in a country where they need to legislate EVERYTHING! Those bozos really have too much time on their hands! (and I say bozos here as a personal oppinion, wich is protected under the freedom of speech amendement *rolleyes*)

And to make matters worse, I STILL don't own a Nintendo DS!
Today being the 9th, this is Unacceptable!

Blogger seems to have improved their Spell Checker. It seems to work a lot better now! Which is good since I discovered the google checker and Firefox don't really like each other :/
Still weird.. The blogger spell checker doesn't know the word "Blogger" or "Google" or "Firefox" either for that matter.. Is this some kind of weird anti narcissism? :D

The danger of "emerge world" on a server

I have a linux box here, running as server (yes, even as a student I have that luxury.. well .. luxury depends on how you view it) and a week ago I decided to emerge my world.. (update All the software on my system, for those who don't know) . I pretended to see how many programs and it gave a nice 250 something. I was quite happy about the whole thing, so I booted the update & there we went.. I had the pleasure of remembering how long compiling OpenOffice takes.. (its monstrous! It takes longer than motherfucking X!) and some days later (today) I finally saw.. It had completed. I use VNC and ssh to control the computer as I do not have any keyboard or screen near me (I don't have the space so I don't keep em around, they re back in lede) I read mail & chat on that machine so I can take that load of my laptop & don't have to worry about rebooting my laptop or fucking my laptop up. I will always have Gaim and Thunderbird safely tucked away on my server, at my diposal anywhere I can reach my box, no matter what computer I'm on. Even from back in Lede. It luxury. It wasn't really hard to configure it all and I'm happy I did. It works! Good!

That is, until I rebooted a while ago.
I was aware that "emerge world" can have some unforeseen breakages. I have had this happen before, back when I used it as my regular desktop. It d be a nuisance.. some more hours to spend fixing what I broke. But in the end, it would boot, Id have a screen and a keyboard and a mouse to immediately solve what I broke. But I don't have those anymore, Right now i'm stranded. I cant get to my box in any way, so I'm fucked until I get to keyboard, hardware, ..
"Emerge world" is dangerous. It really is. And if you think about it, its nothing but logical too! Updating a single part is already dangerous. I should have figured that upgrading everything is even more dangerous. Certainly when upgrading THAT MUCH at once!
So now, I'm locked out of it because of what looks like a small mistake in my network configuration. I presume the machine doesn't ask the DHCP for an IP & there s ofcourse where it does all go wrong! simple as that but hell of a lot trouble when you depend on it. Ofcourse I checked the updating of the config files. I'm not totally not-paranoid. But apparently, I didn't check it enough. Apparently I missed one!

In the end..
No biggie!
Its valuable experience, learnt on my own sever instead of fucking up a corporate server, stranding lots of users and crippling a whole company because of a slight miscalculation on my behalf.
HELL I really want a job as Network Admin over some linux servers :D

Now, back to the dishes, a shower & after that.. a small walk with my box

Compiling Open Office makes me wonder why I dont use Binaries!

grrr on anyone who says differently! & I really mean GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

FireFox is nice, Customisations are great, I condensed the usual 3 bars into 2 & its just sleek! (menu + buttons & regular buttons + Google buttons) Hell Yeah!

Programmable Logic DesignLine | An introduction to different rounding algorithms

This one looks like an interesting article
Ill make sure to read it tomorrow!

For its BedTime for me now! They called me for work some hours ago, so in 5 hours I have to get up & do some job at some company.. it pays the rent :)


I still haven't received my DS :/ annoying!
In quite anxious to play :) REALLY ANXIOUS!

I also keep adding to the list of games I want.. At the moment I need Tony Hawk Sk8land, Sonic, Resident Evil, New Super Mario Brothers, Final Fantasy 3 and last but Certainly not least Worms!

I saw some screens of the new worms for the DS & it looks great! I really look forward to playing it since its really a good game for the ds! Multiplayerwise, both normal wifi & internet play should be possibilities. And the touchscreen should make things Very easy.. Touchscreen in conjunction with the normal keys.. yeah, I'm REALLY looking forward to that one! I'm just speculating ofcourse.. Tough I might not be that far off judging what I saw on the screenshots.. They apparently use the touchscreen for map & weapons..

Yeah, I really need that DS :D


Ps. the blogger spellchecker isnt that good :/ I like the google toolbar checker better. Wierd, its the same company!
The blogger learn button doesnt seem to do all that much either :/
