I am afraid of objects that are "protected" by "security".. . untill I confront my fear of such I will just have to avoid purchasing them.

A bit late, but I've been a bit busy lately, more on this subject. I've finally got something I've been looking to get for a long time. I don't think I'm done with this matter nor shall I ever be.. Words stop here:

You might have already heard about distributed research, projects like Seti@home and Folding@home, you install some software and your computer works for science. It's a way of passively helping out.

After many discussions with many people over many years concerning the Open Source "problem", things are becoming clearer. Some have said that it will just die off as there is no way of making any money out of it and hence no way of surviving in today's economic system.

I always thought of CDs and DVDs as an unpractical medium for storage and use, so I avoid using them as much as possible. They are fragile:

• you mustn't touch 50% of the object
• it can break or scratch very very easily
• to hot or to cold and it can break
• it's...

This website is now using HTML5, normally this shouldn't change much, well all except for one thing important to me is the video tag that allows me to publish video content in such a simpler manner.

You know those lists that determine what IPs should be blocked from mail servers ? Well, maybe the idea at one point was interesting (maybe not)... . I realized today that I'm again on a couple of lists, nothing major, I realized this because an email I tried to send was blocked. After investi...

Icky on the inside ?

I noticed chrome is available for Debian/GNU Linux among others.. They have also been putting up ads around town that are impossible to miss. Some people think this is good, probably because Google is already their start page for many people, some even type the URL ...

LOLOMG !FAIL.. I'm sure this door was put there because it was cheaper than a window...

I just read about this project to "save mysql" from the dirty hands of Oracle.. At first I thought "oh a cute little lolcat site" but then I thought "how is it that Oracle can buy out MySQL ?"

So I go to Monty...

Wow, snow. We are not used to it anymore, nowadays when it snows everybody get's all excited, the news talks only about that. It reminds of the hype with hurricane Gloria back when I was a bit younger

This should be part one of an idea that one day got stuck in my head... something about liking light trails on night photos and the frustration of not seeing any flying cars even though we are officially ten years into the future... ..

So I went for a walk today and took these pictures, this is what 2010 looks like.

I came across this website called thespoof.com, they have articles that are supposed to be funny. To be fair I only read one article.

The thing is they boast about how on this super dooper website you don't need to sign up to rate an article, now that is really nice as I am ...

Sometimes you take things apart so many times that one day you realize that when you really do need to take that pc apart to really fix it that a screw is screwed... On my little innocent "netbook" (i dislike that word) I waited a while before I decided it was time to bring out t...

I don't know why there aren't more of these boats.. I saw this at the National Maritime Museum (the nation referred to here is "British").. .

Geocities is closing, you can however "upgrade" to something that will cost you money... I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that people tend to prefer having a facebook lol profile with zillions of real fake friends than publishing pages with actual "content" (ouch, the "C" word)...

I came across this rather funny photo article at Life.com about dumb inventions, most images are quite funny. However I thought that on maybe 1 or 2 inventions they where not so fair. I would like to defend the "...

Do you wonder if your internet is being sieved somewhere along the line ? People have been working on this subject and this question lead me to a few sites like OpenNet Initiative, You canget some gathered information on per country basis and more.

I don't really like Microsoft's system but i admire their sense of humour.. :]
