Cultuurcentrum Luchtbal - Hof Ter Lo

I didnt go to Graspop this year :( but I did get to see some Great music yesterday!

Earth Crisis - Terror - Sworn Enemy - Walls Of Jericho - No Turning Back - Morda


We didnt see Morda (again)
NTB & Sworn Enemy were OK
Walls of Jericho & Terror were Insane!!!
Earth Crisis was utterly dissapointing (and only partly because their "Vegan Straight Edge" message really doesnt mean much to me..)

Im thinking about Dour, just to see Jericho & Terror again!! But I think I d rather see them in a smaller concert instead of a festival..

Carouso, our Maine Coon..

"The Maine Coon is one of the largest breeds of domestic cat, known for its intelligence and playfulness as well as its distinctive physical appearance."

And we just bought a lil one. He ll stay with his parents for another 8 weeks, but then he s coming to live with us - Cute, no? :)



"Maine Coons are very large and energetic cats, sometimes weighing up to around 11-12 kilograms (25 pounds); the average weight is 6 to 9 kilograms (13-20 pounds) for adult males and less (7-11 pounds) for females."



"Male Maine Coons may grow to a length in excess of 1 meter (40 inches); the longest cat on record is a Maine Coon 121cm (49 inches) in length."




So yeah, He'll grow up to be one large cat.. Given time .. "Maine Coons develop slowly, and don't achieve their full size until they are three to five years old."

cute! :)

(Say hi at his current home if ya want)

we need the past,

the memories of long, to root us into our every day lives. Sometimes one of these memories becomes obsolete, passé. Dependent on what memory & the way it became, this can fill us with an incredible sadness.. droefnis.. until we settle in the memory and give that litle root up to the modern times. Its not that we need it, its that we .. take solace in the fact that its there!

Litle things :)

I just bought a Cheapass

Poker set!


200 chips (4 colors, unlike the picture), 2 decks, 5 dice (WHY??) & 1 dealer thingy
No more that €12.99 (Update: I got myself a second set.. for those games where you just need the extra chips ;))

I immediately bought one for Kaishi too :) & Im considering a second one, just to have 400 chips (for those heavy games :D)
We pokered (texas hold 'em) tonight & it was Swell! Funky night, we really hit That Jive!

YouTube - Battlestar Galactica: A New Crew In Town

supa :)

What I listen to..

[A] m p a c h e

And the newest version has again the improvements that I so craved.. Amazing software, everyone should use this!

Why? Have a lot of music? Want to easily manage & hear them? Convert them to MP3 & install the software. Then browse to your ampache server with your preferred client & enjoy all the luxuries you ever wanted in a jukebox :)

Its Amazing!


I have some major news since this morning.. but I just dont have the time right now for an extensive blog post.. maybe later tonight..

Last.fm

Hit that Jive, Jack

damn, I just discovered this. I steered away from it before, but after being in a curious mood today & discovering Ampache has a plugin to it, I'm trying it & .. damn :)
My fresh last.fm page.. Probably wont be all that interesting the first few weeks.. Im curious if it ll enhance my Ampache experience!!

I just typed "Louis Armstrong" in the artist box & now I'm hearing a lot of nice jazz, some of which I didnt know & do like.. Funk!


Privacy is changing.. people WANT to share certain things with the world.. altough some of them are still shy in regard to real life aquaintances about it.

Changes

the times they are a changin'

SO whats going on?
Well.. for starters, I quit my job at the hut. I need some time to sort things out & wont need the hut anymore after the next change

I 'm getting hired by my internship company :) Hell Yeah :D

And we re moving! We re moving to a much nicer apartment in Gent! Huge living room, bedroom, kitchen, toilet, bathroom and a yard :) yaay!


The ascension.. on to the next part, done with what has passed - closure
& all that jazz


Oh & I'm probably going to graspop next weekend & I'm seriously considering Blue Note Festival!
& for the record.. I LOATHE the idea of le tour de france passing trough gent. ARRIVING in gent! BARELY A STREET FROM WHERE I LIVE!!!!!! Loathesome Frackers! I LIVE inside the "no public transportation" area.
Its kinda weird that I 'll be living the "Gentse Feesten" on a whole different scale this year. Last year, I was working constantly @ the hut & when I wasnt I was drinking & partying with the other hut peeps. I'll still try to do some of that partying tough ;) Mohito here we come :D


.. changes :) for the good!

Hacking Exposed Linux Second Editon

Finished

interesting read!!

Sopranos

so thats it.. its sunk in, its over!

I can hardly believe it.. I ve been watching this for SOO long.. I remember renting the DVDs, years ago, and watching them episode after episode, sitting at my brothers computer because mine didnt have a dvd player.. All I can do now is watch them trough again.. and again.. and again :) lol
Cant wait to get myself the whole box dvd set!

Anywho, the story is over.. but they made it a difficult ending? Everyone hoped to be able to turn off the tv, content without doubts or questions. No loose ends. But that wasnt what they had in store for us.

We had a parting party yesterday. Do things right..
We ate zitti (as described in the first Sopranos cookbook - proud owner :D) and when the moment was there we poured fine whiksy, cigars were lit (I really dont care for that experience. Waste of money like all other smoking!) and we sat back, ready for the experience.

Great episode! Lotza stuff happening, .. excitement, comedy, surprises..
The ending on the other hand.. Main reaction was WTF! You can go anywhere you want with that ending.. And ist incredibly FRUSTRATING. But ist probably the only way to have at least some of us pleased :/ Problem is.. there s still So Much stuff going around.. what with the trial? What with Sil? What with the whole organisation? ...? Questions unanswered! Journey!
On the other hand, they killed of such a bunch of important people.. Season 7 d be quite aquard (how do you spell this?) without all those.

anywho, I'll stick with the idea they live happily ever after.. T dying isnt really what I d have liked so..





There s only old episodes to watch now..

"Battlestar Galactica

Great Series; but whow..
9.1 on IMDB

I mean.. Whow! More than 9!
Whow!

omfg!
Sopranos.. User Rating: 9.5/10 !

& Deadwood..
User Rating: 9.4/10


Amazing
I cant get a top of series tough
& a 9 in series isnt a 9 for movies. Top movie is 9.1 - The Godfather

I'll have to look for a top X of series tomorrow.. Im curious :)

2010

Thats the year Kaishi told me about some days ago.

He s got A Plan. You know, one of those decisions you take at a time in your life. a goal! What that goal is, is for him to put in a comment if he wants it on here.. Go read the comments for more info :)

So here it is.. On print, On the internet.. For everyone keep him to it. Asfor Kaishi.. I propose you pick a date a every year, you check back to this page & remember what you promised on that warm day in may 2007..




.. Everybody needs a goal ..

I just added

a whole wad of Extremely interesting text to our Internship server about our beautiful server project (its the servers that are beautiful, not the project, the servers! Smeg, pay some attention here :p)

Info & Manuals Galore
They wont know what hit em ;)
lol

& now its time to sleep. Next to my lil one :)
Small remark.. I can advise anyone to watch Battlestar Galactica. Great Series!!
