I still cant believe

I failed those courses!! What the fuck?

Im considering buying gloves.. Im getting old

Japanese Game Show

RICH! Gotta love the lil girl in the end :)

Aint it just Horible

Yesterday night, when I left for bed; I knew I was getting into trouble when I emerged all those updates & didnt update the configs. Ive been there before & had it happen .. all .. before! Its UTTER CRAP! Yet I had to had to bed & .. this kinda cost me my night.
aarghl

& the weird thing is Im not SURE why the problem happened! & I dont feel like rebooting it again, so.. *sigh*

So I can now FINALLY check my MAIL for example!

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon

Its incredible, the new release fixed my DVD player problem. (PX 716AL has NO linux support) He now writes, reads & plays without any problem!

Wine works well too.. I needed Picasa2 to upload my pictures of carouso to webpicasa. Just installed it under Wine & it works like a dream.. well not a dream, but Fine :)

Way to go!

i d expected more

Everyone left So Early :s
Distance changes A Lot apparently..

pitty

kat is sleeping in my arms :) Cute! 5.2kg at age 5 months.. (no; he aint a fat kitten) Not bad :D
sleep now

Out of my BIG todo list, there s net enough stuff going right to make me feel content with myself. and that sucks. Altough I'm working to get it alright, one thing at the time.

Only fools expect the horizon to bring better tides (what a sentence.. a horizon bringing tides.. thats so mashed up I wont even correct it - lol)


In lighter news.. Im going for some WFRP tomorrow - that ll be a happy meeting of some old friends! and I'm INCREDIBLY curious about an unimaginably cool looking game called Tannhäuser! Check it out at the geek!


& at least im back to linux :)
Ubuntu keeps on amazing me tough there s been some rough edges too. Looking forward to the Ghastly Gabbon - lol - make that "Gutsy Gibbon" :) Updates tomorrow!! (Hot Damn)

The two old croonies were late

and now I'm stressing to depart for work.. aarghl

They look like two sweet ladies though! I'm going to ttry & stay on their good side tough.. considering what I heard from those people who lived here before us.. :/

I also learnt that before those people, there lived an old lady here who afterwards moved to Paris.. Paris is nice :) I wouldnt mind Paris - LOL

Gutsy Gibbon

I am VERY curious!

Beneath a Steel Sky

They dont make em like that anymore.. partly because they simply dont make them at all.. period.. Thank the Tao for ScummVM :)
Another great invention of that age & time is UHS - Get trough those pesky situations without ruining the game..

PCs pumping data. Dividing them over my old & new disk. I'll have space soon :) About time! & then I can reorganise whats on my desktop .. and should have been on my serv!

And now its off to bed :)

Flip Kowlier

We went to see Flip Kowlier yesterday! Great fun :)

I really love some of his new songs like .. Onder nen buom


and who doesnt love his newest song.. DonderdagNacht (Shelli.. DO watch this, I want your reaction to this :))


Anywho, I finally bought some of his stuff.. some, like all 3 of his cds and a TShirt :) about time, I really love what he does!

And Im incredibly happy I finally saw him perform live!! I even considered going to see his concert a second time & by god, if he d have a second gig @ gent, I would :)

And ofcourse, I was incredibly thrilled to finally see Smetvrjis live :)


For all you english speaking folks.. you probably wont get it.. but thats because its mostly about the lyrics.. 3/4 of belgium doesnt get it either :) because its sung in a near uncomprehendable dialect :) Not mine either, but I listened to these songs for hours & figured them out :)

Anywho.. Im incredibly happy I finally saw Flip live!

Someone should tell my teacher that its "child & children". And that there is no "s" anywhere in there.. So Certainly no such thing as "CHILDRENS"

..

:/

According to the "De Standaard - Belgometer" Test

I'm 56% Unionist when it comes to belgium & the current day politics

.. and thats probably about right.

frustrations

I just worked some for work.. and I was about to log in (I actually turned on the noisy serv to get my files - and yes its still noisy even tough I have the part I need to solve it.. Time o sweet time :/) when I realised it wouldnt work since linux doesnt take kindly to putty s port forwarding efforts.. And I dont immediately remember how to fix it, so.. :s I'll work some more on the gen I guess.

annoying


Ubuntu.. when the amazement wears off..
* I knew this but I had forgotten.. but - I actually managed to buy an eleeet DVD writer that Does NOT work decently under linux! Again .. Annoying! I dont know what I ll do to solve that. I wrote a cd earlier today & damn.. I dont know exactly HOW it worked, but it did & im just happy about that :/ The fracker freaks on reading the simplest cd. At first I was scared it was a juice problem.. but reading up on my sleek Plextor PX-716al .. its nothing more nor less than a plextor problem :(

I'm tired :(

The next day .. Edit - I remember now.. Programs (running under normal users) arent allowed to hijack ports like that. "sudo" should solve that! And also, I kinda remember writing a script on Kabouter to mount those ports there so I can use him to get to the work servs. ALSO.. I should configure it so I can project those ports on another IP than the one kabouter is using; thus effectivly creating a VPN :) Also; I cant mount p80 to p80 on kabouter since he s already running a webserv.. So one adress with p80; all the individual ssh & the SVN ports. That d be about it.. oh wait, no, the SMB ports too.. This being said, maybe I should have acces to the webserv smb go over the fileserv smb.. An idea I've considered many times before .. but just wont cut it!
.. Or maybe I should just install a VPN :/ Dont think so though.. I still feel we dont neeeed no stiiinkiiiiiin VPN :)
Its still a pitty I cant connect to kabouter from any outside location. Maybe I should get myself a fixed IP.. Or maybe telenet should stop acting like AaarseHooooles :)

An incredibly funny "unordered list of thoughts"

Funny :D
got it trough someone's twitter. No need mentioning whose. (I ONLY KNOW ONE PERSON WHO USES THAT CRAP!!!! :) And he s mildly entertaining sometimes, while we re at it.)

anywho, fun :)

Toilet Trained Cat Doing Number 2

I really need to get Carouso to do this :)

He s already got a healthy interest in the toilet.. with the water n all.. so thats a plus :)

Preferably without the falling in afterwards ofcourse :p

Beatrix, Hula Hoop Gipsy Music

God, there s a whole hula hoop community thing going on out there.. its amazing

a new world opening up, I wont ever be able to look upon that mundane toy as I did before

The fact that both of them are young, thin and attractive probably helps the sexyness potential too :)

The hoop also gives the whole dance an extra dynamic that looks real cool :) Girls should do this at dancings :) Should be funny too.. hitting people in the face n all..:)

Hula Hooping @ The Gathering

LOL!

I never thought hula hooping could be sexy.. apparently I was mistaking :)

oppinion on the dreadlock technique of putting your lock trough a hole in the base to tighten them towards your scalp..

oh god..

The method described is indeed a well accepted and tried method, practiced by many people with dreadlocks. This is however NOT and I repeat NOT a good idea!

This method is for people who dont have enough patience and faith in their hair to just wait it out. Your hair will dread of itself, without any help if you just wait it out. The first 2cm (about an inch) of hair starting form your scalp wont look like dreadlock, but thats normal, it will tighten as it grows. Just wait it out & dont panic. Dreadlocks are all about patience!

Why not use this method? Because your dreadlocks wont be as nice and even as they would be if you do wait. I used this method some years ago on 2 locks and I can still feel and see where I did. The loop that formed there restricted the natural locking of the hair, which prevented that part of my dreadlock from decently forming and tightening.

While there are people who use this method throughout their dreadlocks life, those dreadlocks will look and feel less nice and less dready compared to anyones dreads who doesnt!

I advise Everyone against using this technique!

I really miss a community driven site about locks. I might start one myself soon. There s too much bull around and some community (and i mean wiki bc a forum is nice, but its not a knowledge base..) action would do well. im thinking history, techniques, maintenance, .. All the shit on one site.. available and searchable!

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (Woodstock 1969)

White Rabbit.. White Rabbit!!!!!!

You go chasing rabbits..

Tori Amos: I Don't Like Mondays

Great cover!

Its a great song, covered by an amazing artist.. Simply beautiful :)

But I really love what Tori Amos does :)

its weird

& its weird that I think it is.

but I really need a VMed windows running. I kinda counted on that. At least I can enjoy the media! Another problem is that I prefer E over the usual WMs.. ATM its standard Gnome & thats just not me :s

I'll do a lot of frackin it during the next few weeks :)

getting to know ubuntu..

Weird

Wine s still disappointing though!

Linux Update

I just reinstalled on a bigger disk. I like this a lot & I want it to stay, so bigger it is! & it feels right :)

Install was uneventfull
VMware installed ok n all
but it wont boot my windows partition .. yet :)

Synergy works

VMs for later
& I need more HD.. 6gb is close :/

now sleep, tomorrow more junk :)

I am Amazed!

I just installed Ubuntu & .. Hot damn!

I did have some problems.. Error 21 @ grub & not that much help anywhere. Luckilly its not my first Linux install ;) Otherwise this would have been nasty. My HD wasnt configured in the bios so grub couldnt boot from it, .. Pitty this wasnt detected; then again - it IS an exception


Anywho, I booted & kicked it off.. Hot damn! Its amazing. I wasnt expecting to even like ubuntu, but this is great! Linux might finally be Desktop Ready!!

I tried some distros last year on viona & they all failed most spectacularly! There were several fail points & I was preparing an interesting post about it, but thats SO dated by now, I wont even finish it for the sake of..
Anywho, one of the problems I found was to be the media codex.. This was actually the worst. People want to surf those dirty sites with videos that scream at you & that was A PROBLEM.
Ubuntu, today, automatically installed all the codecs and plugins I needed! With a few clicks (yes, yes, yes) everything was solved.

I Am Impressed!
And now that we ve tested the audio & video capabilities (I use my comp as a jukebox so audio is extremely important!) we re moving on to the more advanced stuffs :) I dont expect problems in everyday use; but im not sure what it ll do once I need VMware n all :) I might break this! lol

& next :) is installing it at work - lol
tough I probably wont :( no time for OS preferences, too much other stuffs to do! Yet i would prefer linux! with a virtual windows of course :)


Oh & this new series of survivers is SUPER EVIL!!!!!!! Im REALLY looking forward to watching! 100 ppl on an island - its bound to raise hell :)


Im pondering the plan to get my life back on track.. this is good! more soon :)

At this last feedback I actually saw what I feared had happened.

Some of the questions were incredibly dubious in wording. I remember doubting but not asking what of the 3 possible scopes the question was asking for. Sadly enough, the question was so badly formulated, that asking about its meaning would on itself be immensely insulting for the person who made it. (I cant express how disgracefully I felt the question was formulated. I felt bad as if it d have been my work!) So I chose not to ask anything & answer the question as I hoped it would be.. & was wrong!

Its incredibly sad how BAD some of these exams are made up! I'm obviously expecting too much when I hope for competently made exams and courses. (Check that post I did some days ago)

GOD I hate school!

anywho, I shouldnt mind those frackers as much as I do.

GOD I HATE IT ALL

Flip Kowlier

We re going to see Flip Kowlier next Friday in Gent.. Viona doesnt know yet, but .. im sure she ll appreciate me buying us a concert :) Or at least I hope so :p lol

tickets ll arive soon
& im looking forward to it


Work & school are heavy. I had an annoying mail problem today. It taught me to check up more on my colleagues. I really dont like what happened, but we re resending it, so it ll be alright. Still it bothers me


RoD meeting tonight was alright
I always feel like we dont have enough time. I need LONGER meetings - lol


& now im tired. This is the heaviest day of the week to me. Im at no place longer than 3 hours & as a matter of fact, most of the time its barely 2 hours! Its tiresome
So off to bed for me :)

I now FULLY remember

why I hate going to practical classes!
* The crap they give us doesnt work
* The PCs are too protected to make it work
* Teachers are simply not prepared to deal with this kind of problems

Its agonising!
I am here to LEARN stuffs
not to try & solve their SHIT

trying Joost

but my comp is too slow :(

After his 12th cup,

there wasnt much more left of him than a coffee induced rage at everything and anything round and about him

He's a difficult person te be around when he s in the depths of a near caffeine poisoning.

I desperately need that new hardware

Nothing fancy, a new power suply!

I wanted to get some work done tonight, but since I can hardly boot my pc, I cant login since my files are on there!

grrrrrrrrrrr


Carouso is incredibly cute :) He s sleeping on my arm as I type :)
Supercute!
Im happy the new seasons have started! Finally the story continues on Desperate Housewives, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica & Lost! (tough we re not expecting a lot of story in Losts case! They kinda .. lost .. the whole story)

Its quite the thrill

to discover that a config file you wrote is 11 pages long!!!

I really NEED a power suply for my server! Its making this utterly sickening sound. Instant headache! All sorts of high pitched shit.. hell!

& I'll get myself that new HD ive been needing too. I cant wait any longer. I need 1 terra extra. at least. Tough 300gb will probably have to do for now. :/

I really need to get an efficient morning routine going!

Efficient, fast, ..
necessary!

Im trading Flicr for Picasa

that "Yahoo user" stuff was too much
then again.. I just realized I DO have a yahoo account too.. Maybe I should.. (edit: I did.. whatever)

picasa works ok.. The software itself leaves certain points of improvement tough!

im tired
shouldnt be, slept most of the weekend
yet I am..
So im off to bed.. I guess..

Carouso is gettin Bigger n Bigger! Its starting to show he s a coon! He sbarely 15 weeks (or so) & he s the size of a normal cat! & he ll only be fully grown when he s 2!! amazing :)

It has started anew

back to school :s

Carouso

Life

seriously NEVER gets any easier!
im starting to feel like a fool for expecting things to calm down one day soon.

Louis Griffin

is the original milf

The simple things..

Im listening to Just Great Jazz Songs & I just had an honest amount of whisky. (Lagavulin)

Whats that about Life, Lemons & Lemonade?

Ive got loads of lemons.. All I need now is a recipy for lemonade to make it worth while..

Latest shit?
* Cat chewed trough the Wii Sensor Bar Cord.. And its NOT my wii! Thank god for candles (they can replace the sensor bar :s and its cozy too :)) Yet how will I explain this. & even worse.. she installed it & while she was doing it I said "put it on the dvd player, its safer there" & she didnt feel I was right.. & .. my fears..
* I bought an evil looking book at Fnac.. something insane & funny to elevate my mood.. Guess what. "Skulduggery Pleasant" turns out to be A CHILDRENS BOOK! No sing at all, till you read the first page inside the book. I checked for ANY mention on the cover or whatever.. none!
The cover says "Skulduggery Pleasant; wise cracking detective, powerful magician, master of dirty tricks and burglary (in the name of the greater good, of course), oh yeah, and dead!" .. sounds ok, no? i was expecting utter crazyness.. I mean the book has orange sides!
A children's book! Im going to read it too! I payed a good €11 for it! - edit: good book tough.. Children's book, but entertaining.. I probably wont collect the series tough!


Up side, we turned on the heating & its bliss!


*sigh*
another year in school :( well.. 5 months.. and im going to work my arse off.. but ... ..... :/

I failed

all my exams.. all four

School kicks me in the nuts again & this time a lot of other people who counted on me..
& dont get me wrong here.. There s no doubt, I owe it all to myself!
*sigh*

This is the stuff that breaks a man - luckilly I have a strong mental back

I buried a friend today

I dont like people reading this, so do me a favor.. dont!

The burying is a figure of speech of course.. but this last meeting was some kind of a goodbye to me. Things will never be the same. It was a good thing that will never be the same again. It ll be different. Not worse, mind you.. the time had come for some of us. But the fact of the matter is that the "us" is no longer as it was before.

Its a new era of sorts.

I had dreams & hopes for the "us" that went out of existence today.. people returning, things getting solved. A grand unified thing of ours ;) But thats no longer a possibility. Things have changed & the potential for shit has slightly grown. Those remaining had plans. We settled things, but now the rules have changed & the earlier talks have become obsolete. We need new plans, because some of the things that transpired today were not within the realm of working possibilities.


SO I am sad. This was my goodbye to something I really cared about & .. on to the new form. I'm really sad I had to miss what I did because of those exams. That will have been the last time that school screws up my life if all goes well.. and it went out with a BANG! It hurt. Ofcourse my school goals could screw me even more, for the whole year to come, but.. I cant think about that too much. I heard some nice words today, coming from someone I dearly appreciate.. I shouldnt worry so much according to him.. well, I do :/


anywho, I look forward to the new form. but Ill miss the old one.
& Ill miss certain people too.


Carouso says "trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" (walking over a keyboard is so much fun.. apparently..)
Anywho, I have some problems to solve & then Im off to bed.. Im beat! & I have some heavy days in front of me..


today I realize that too many people know of this blog, partly defying its purpose. I cant put all the names in here, because they re just too personal.. I'll have to address this problem soon. But not until I know for sure which track my life will be on for the next 12 months! There s so many things that depend on that track. I look forward to finally relaxing! Its really time for me to finally Relax. The battle has been fought, I don't think I can take another year of it. I will if I have to! But .. im tired! I need some rest. & I deserve some rest. I didn't give up, and god only knows I've had my reasons!


& now ive interwoven so much different topics even I wont know whats who n all.
that doesn't matter. This is a blog for writing, not for reading.

Lynx217

I ve been linked.. what an honour :) Not too many people carry this link.. to those, thank you :)

Grateful Dead - The Golden Road

Amazing song!!

The Matrix Goggles

Supercool!
Yet so simple :D (in concept)

RoD site revamped

I finally got to re-skinning the RoD site.. It needed to happen for a long time now!

I finally gave up waiting for all those people that promised me to make custom graphics! I waited for well over a year & .. well .. fuck em all! Its just too sad

So now I put that skin up I found a year ago (!!) & I'm modifying it myself to better suit the needs. Most important mod so far.. the graphics :)

& WHY did I get around to do this? bc the site needed more disk space & I started a nice big cleaning op!


& now its off to bed for me
I'm a bit off right now. Those exams really drained me. Pure stress for more than a month.. I'll be glad when it ll finally be weekend. FINALLY some RnR! :/

Todays PVP Online is SOOO cute :)

Panda Attack!!!
cute :D

The Kabouter is Finally back

I finally got my server up & running!
Quite simple really
stoopid service got confused & it actually sorted it out almost on its own..

Anywho, its better now & I no longer have to miss my beloved Ampache!


Ooh & I'll be the proud owner of a Wii soon!!!! After I get the results of my exams tough.. Wait for it.. Waaiiiit for it.. !! :)


& for those interested .. im listening to beethoven right now.. sooothing music as they say :) I should really load up my ipod soon.. I could really appreciate stuffs like this during the day! & Jazz & Rock & ................. :)

& I think one chapter a day of .. for example the great "Phantom of the Opera" musical, might greatly ease my ride to work!



& you see those last x posts? those small ones? Annoying no? Twittering trough blogger! kbleh!

I might appreciate a blogger T-Shirt with "Twitter, Blogging for Twits" on the front & the orangy B logo on the back :) hhe (ps. this idea stays MINE, so if you steal it, at least send me some copies :D hhe)

Max for President

Yeah

iacta alea est

iacta alea est

bad craziness

Someone was FINALLY able to tell me WHEN I'll know about my exams

Proclamation - 13th
Feedback - 14th!

Hell Weeks!

Im glad I finally found out. its quite stupid to have to explain over & over to people you dont have a clue when the results will be out. .. then again.. next 2 weeks will be tough any way! *sigh*

Anchors Away!

Glenn Miller, Getting into my jive!

Missing my webserv is starting to become

a real problem!

Im using my backup wiki at the moment, but, im tired of not having all the info I need! grr!

I am unbelievably sad

for having missed this monumental RoD 13.. Things will never be the same again. We'll miss you, guys! Its a sad sad day.

Its a needed sacrifice to succeed @ school, but this doesnt make it any easier! Ive given up a lot for this diploma.. But this might be the hardest yet.

Ive just missed the parting weekend of 10 good friends, 10 people of the RoD family. It already hurt when I had to leave after dropping mini off, seeing so much people arrive, people I d have liked to talk to again.

..
auch!

Its only now; now that its truely over, that I feel the loss!
Goddamned, that exam on monday d better be 16+ (/20) in grades or it ll hurt even more!


side note.. carouso is acting like A Dream :)

Fuck It

I HAVE to finish this
yet i'm too tired to think straight :/
I'll have to give myself a time constraint & .. act accordingly

The Greatful Dead are Funny

sleep

im so tired of exams

I really need to rid myself of that shit permanently!
I need time to do some personal projects & with all these exam shit, .. Its good I can ignore the urges though! Getting side tracked by one of these lil projects would be disastrous!

Working is more fun than studying

I had a go at some new ringtones for my cell.. some of them worked out alright :) (a go sounds too big for 15m o clicking around..)

I got Sam onto reading Modblog today :)

off to bed now :)

Carouso is getting used to it all :) He s great! Active lil bugger tough. hehe! Lots of stuff to do around the house. A real adventure :)
Cant wait for him to get all big n stuffs

& Mini found her BDay present.. Ive had it in the house for some days now but she didnt know.. then she stumbled upon it.. what can I say :) Had some fun for some days tough.. "Oh hunney, I forgot.. I'll have to ask my boss if I can stop a lil earlier to get your gift.. im sorry" n all :) She still doesnt know which color I got her.. (its a purse she wanted) so there s at least SOME degree of SURPRISE involved. Tough the real surprise really was today when she found it :)

Carouso :)

Carouso is SUPER :) My cell isnt tough :s hence the crap pictures.. (older & bigger pictures @ the link.. tnx to the Great people at the borntolove cattery!)


Helping with the bed..


Inspecting the dirty bed stuff..


& here he s eating :) Check the length of his tail!! Its longer than his body!!

He's 2,6 kg right now. A normal cat of 14 weeks weighs about 1.4 kg.. He s already Big :) & he ll only get BIGGER! Amazing Paws & HUGE ears :) Cool Cat!
He s still slightly clumsy tough :s he just jumped against the table instead of onto it. That looked painfull :/
Another great thing.. He TALKS! :) He s got about 20 different sounds & talks to us :) Its great!!! Amazing!!!!! :)
Viona 's happy like a lil kid!


& this is Yoshi, My in-law's dog, who lived with us for 3 weeks..

I like cats better :s

& now off to bed coz its working day tomorrow & I'll have to get used to the normal hours again.. Studying still works best @ the usual nocturnal hours :)

Google Error

I was trying a proxy & got this :) apparently its been used to abuse Google. Funny Error :D

Carouso & Lynx

Carouso has arrived :)
& he s a wee sweet cat!!

I just had a try at lynx & .. its quite alright! I wont be dropping FireFox over it, but when in need of a text browser, it certainly does the job :) Amazing how bad some sites are structured. Lynx gives all that away!

I just discovered my brother is in the peloponesos this week. Till Friday! & they can see the fires from where they 're staying. They re not in any danger though! they re on the other side of a bay from the fire & they have acces to the airport, so no danger.

Carouso is funking up the bureau & checking out the keyboards, screens and speakers. & the printer :) cats = fun & Maine Coons even more :) The whole dog experience, the last 3 weeks.. I'm just not social enough to live with an animal that demands such amounts of attention! Carouso is great fun though :) Im curious to see if he d jump in while im in the shower :D

The Truth

The awfull & uncomfortable truth of the matter is..

I want a lot of stuff
* Nintendo Wii + Games (€250 + 60*x)
* Polar AXN 500 (€350)
* Nokia n800 (€400)
* Snowboard Trips
* Snowboard Gear (Pants, Gloves, ..)
* DS Games
* Board Games
* New Computer
* Uncountable amount of books
* Several new HD's
* ..
Expensive stuff!

And I NEED a lot of other stuff
* New Vacuum
* New Microwave oven
* A Washing machine
* Save (youknow.. having money to sit in the bank, not spend it)
* A new HardDisk
* ..

Not to mention The Bills
* Internet
* House
* Phones
* Water, Gas, Electricity, ..
* ..

& to be honest..
I probably (Probably???) dont earn enough to get all that Right Now! Almost Nobody earns enough to get all that right now! (well, nobody actually with the exception of some stars n all) So that leaves me with a quite common yet dreadful problem..
I cant Immediately buy everything I want :)

This wasnt a problem in the past.. Those expensive things were utterly beyond my reach, so I didnt even think of buying them.. Now on the other hand, I have to realise they re still out of reach :) But typing this is a long way toward realizing, so .. well, I guess all is better again..

I'll be making a NEW list (& checking it twice) of "I WANT's" soon.. :) & the first thing to go will probably be that Nokia n800..


Back to studying :)

Polar AXN500

I need this watch!
Outdoor Sports Stuffs Watch.. Cool!

The alto stuff ll do great for snowboarding trips
The compass will aide me in any Hunt or Survives to come
& the Heart meter will do wonders for my health! Its actually what I look forward to most of all! Being able to track my heart rate & train accordingly!!

My cardial state seems to be alright, but still.. Training to keep it up is ever important. Also, it ll enable me to run again.. Im terrible at keeping pace, but if my watch monitors my heart rate, I can strive to train at a certain rate! (you know, 180 or something unrealistically high :D) Tough my current heart rate under exercise isnt that bad at all! quite low really :) hihi

4 to go

Dont ask me how it went, I dont know!

Im so tired of it all..

Last exams starting tomorrow.. 5 to go..
*sigh*

Dominic Chianese speaks about last Sopranos episode

Interesting!

I have to say.. Its quite hard at times to keep the civility towards my peers when they fail to do me that very courtesy.

Some people seem to feel compelled to judge others unhindered by any facts or even right to do so.

How annoying!

Exams Suck!

Id rather be working.. Its a lot more fun & rewarding!

Soon, soon!

Ps. Check Cheops for some great BBC Radio Dramas n all! Funny Shit :) Do check out Terry Pratchet, though there are better stories than "Only You Can Save Mankind" Radio Drama stuffs rule :)

Joga with Maya

I just finished 15m of Yoga with Maya..
I really value this program! This really helps me to keep healthy & ache free!

I really hope they make a Wii version using the Balance board!! & maybe even the controllers in some innovative way! (innovative, not clumsy)

Xming X Server for Windows

Whow, this is THE answer to a lot of my frustrations! (and probably the source too once I start trying to make it work!! A quick look reveals it to be near impossible to get X running on my setup without manual xorg configuring :s *sigh* headaches!)

Studying is going well.. Slow but i'm quite immersed in it all, so thats good!

Duck Hunt For iPhone

Viva Duckhunt :D

Another Widget

Everyone has widgets.. We should get a widget! No clue where & with what, but.. Widget is the way to go! .. Widget sites.. "We-d-get whatever ya want" lol

Stretches to Prevent Hip and Pain and Injury

This one s for you, mini..

Modblog @ Humo

Im not going to translate, suffice to say, they re shocked :)

I really dont like reading Humo & .. well .. this didnt help :D then again, Knack wouldnt even be that positive!

hehe

Edit: Oh god.. I just discovered they didnt link to modblog itself, but to the scarification gallery.. lots of blood = cheap shock value :( They re even sadder that I thought at first!

Aerosmith

Listening to Nine Lives..
Its a pitty I had to miss them at Graspop :( Would have liked to see them

The rice machine is acting up :s

.. Mass murder is out (snails arent people) tough genocide does.. I have intent to destroy, in part, a racial group.. All snails living around and entering My Yard!!


Also.. I went to the Delhaize @ de Sterre in Gent..
This is what I shal from now on call.. a Social Supermarket. I Have NEVER waited so long at the register.. Outrageous!! Its obviously all about the Social Experience! By God.. And all that waiting just to get 2 bottles of anti snail Jupiler (total of 1 liter - Yeah!) a 4-pack of Kriek Mystique and some nectarines :)

genocide

the plan is underway.. Beer + Containers + Slugs.. Genocide!
Lets just hope they all nicely die. And I mean .. AAALLLLLL

I dont need those lil buggers sliming up my terrace & even less eating my expensive plants!! (not That expensive, .. whatever) I forgot the name again.. nice plant tough. Maybe Tomorrow :p .. nice tree!

edit: Salix integra or Hakuro-nishiki. Wiki says "its a species of willow native to Japan and Korea." Its leaves are pink sometimes

Something annoying happened last week

at work..
I was experimenting with software.. We use .. pdfcreator (nice stuff) & I heard you can merge documents with it. I didnt know how, so I took 5 minutes to figure that out. For some reason I chose some personal documents to try it (The war of the ring manual & FAQ) I figured merging those two, (the later into the former & not just at the end) would be nice. Also, I wanted to print it, so I uploaded it. Ready to print B&W once I got the whole IT infrastructure up @ home.. Now, some time in this process.. I selected a wrong printer and clicked around some in the interface.. Sadly enough.. I seem to have printed instead of canceling..
The positive thing here :) is that I now have an Extremely pretty print of the rules & FAQ. Stapled n all.. The downside on the other hand.. is that I discovered this error when our boss asked me not to print personal, uber colorful stuff like that on the expensive printer. This puts me in a position I dont want to be.. I dont do stuff like that & if need be, Id at least ask first.. I hate that it makes me look bad, certainly because I was unaware that I printed it.. It d be different if I DID do it on purpuse.. & I was So bedazzled when he confronted me about it.. I REALLY didnt understand how that document I had experimented with (the evening before none the less) ended up printed n all on my desk.. I REALLY did not get it! Ofcourse this was not how it looked.. Its a pitty.. & I cant go cry about it either, because that d just be sad.. Sad in a "Just admit you tried to exploit the company" kinda way.. On the other hand.. I dont think my boss cared THAT much, so I'll survive. Still.. The whole thing bothers me! Yet, I now have a nice print :) Recto verso, great quality, .. Yeah :)


Yet I feel at ease.. Its been a long while since I really felt at ease. I feel relaxed & thats .. new! probably because of all the space we have now.. Much less stress. Probably also because I can now sit in an easy chair, relax, .. Provided VDAB pays me soon.. life is good. Finally. I waited quite some years to write this.. Ive written it before, but this time is different (as were all the other times, ...)

I even watched some startrek while unpacking
Another some boxes unpacked.. yaay.. Books are now on the shelves.. They fill a mere 1/3th of them, but .. once we both get our libraries over.. We'll need an extra bookcase then :) hehe


HubbalaWubbala

First post from our new casa..

Last Post

from Nederkouter, Next stop.. Onafhankelijkheidslaan :)

Its weird to spend our last night here.. It REALLY is.. It feels like we barely lived here.. On the other hand.. Its TIME to move; we need SPACE!!!!!

Sleep Now :s
*Sigh*

Dommel - Een genie

Dommel!!!!!!!!!!!! :D teehee

thundercats

if there s anything they should make The Next Movie thing off.. I d just LOVE to see that movie

Lucas Arts & MS.. A rant I guess :s

Whats wrong with lucasarts!!! These assholes started as an r&d departement for videogames, they have some of the greatest licences around & all they come up with is unimaginative dreck! Lego Indiana Jones? Lego StarWars? ??? 1 of those.. as a gimmick.. to hand out with .. lego crap.. (because whats with lego.. they used to be so great.. big ships & all, BIGGER ships & Even More HUGE stuff.. as opposed to now, they seem to have a Small Is Beautiful thing going) And MORE starwars stuff

They were the guys behind great games like "The Digg", "Maniac Mansion", "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders", "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", "The Secret of Monkey Island", "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge", "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis", "Day of the Tentacle", "Sam & Max", "Full Throtle", ..... Games I still enjoy playing today!

hehe.. memorable adventure games.. I liked "toonstruck" (hehehe - that one was extremely fun) & "under a killing mood" a lot too..

.. ah & QFG4. Possibly the Best quest I played.. I just LOVE the whole atmosphere.. gypsies, vampires, the whole ravenlofty - barovian, Slavic folklore/Eastern European folklore atmosphere.. Yeah!

Anywho, im dissapointed @ LucasArts!


/. has in article Microsoft Reinvents Bittorrent
in short.. "Microsoft has a new Secure Content Downloader tool that sounds an awful lot like a Bittorrent clone. ... If this test goes well, Microsoft will probably start using MSCD for all their large downloads. How do you feel about subsidizing Microsoft's bandwidth costs?"

in short; the answer
* I dont mind torrents for stuff I like, but MS updates? They re not worth it. We pay enough to those vampires for our software.. Id like a normal download please! Or any company for that matter tough I can forgive Blizzard where I wont MS. It WILL keep me from downloading some blizzard content which is really their loss (advertising) & not mine!
* MS has the policy of shoving stuff like that trough unknowing people's throats.. No Alternatives.. I dont like that either..
So no thank you.. I dont feel like helping MS at this point.. Its bad enough I have to endure trough some of their software (like FFin Outlook 200X - aarghl)


..
Sleep now

it irks me that I cant get on DevArt!

It Annoys me even MORE that I dont have a clue as to Why!

I figured out what the problem is (down to 2 options - both far beyond my control), just not Why it exists..

Fuko

For those wondering what the consequences of irrealistically drawn manga women would be? This is, I guess, what happens.. A real life manga doll, with all the exact (and highly unrealistic) measures!

Czardas

Hey!

Eye OS

How novel.. indeed

The Web-OS everyone likes talking about so much V0.0...0.1 It works.. quite ok (not smoothely tough) I'm using the web version to type this.. and Ive still got lots of questions!

Sucky chess version (I won in .. 17 moves? And I even had to "slay" his king before it said "checkmate" :s) but then again, if we d have to rate OSes by the quality of their included chess version.. Windows doesnt even have chess! (probably something about their demographic) Goes to show..

I'll probably try the download tough.. Just to make sure I aint missing anything.. although I'm quite confident I'm not!

Roby Lakatos - Deux Guitares

Oh My!! I touroughly enjoyed this!!! I cant wait to see Roby Lakatos at Night of the Proms 2007 :D

Y!F

My working heart rate nicely dropped over the last weeks.. Amazing really! about 25 bpm (158 -> 132) less than last week.. Quite amazing really!

My weight on the other hand.. I was quite off in my guess last time & .. lets just stay that I'm a bit heavier than I guessed :p
lol

& also.. :s & this really bothers me.. I'm 5"9' or something alike.. I think thats not what I put up there when I made the profile.. & I cant change it now without renewing my profile.. & I dont wanna do that since its finally up to par! I think I put 5"4 or something like that.. I distinctly remember being disappointed to be so average in height that the program almost guessed it right :/

Anywho, time for sleep coz tomorrow is an important day.. I have to Study! yaay :s

Leterme confond Brabançonne et Marseillaise...

Pour que je ne le perd pas de nouveau..
