  • I'm back!

    After weeks, nay, months of procrastination and trial and error, I'm back! I switched to another provider for questmaster.net and took the opportunity to make a slight adjustment to the address: we are now hailing from http://questmaster.net/community...

    I survived the first day at work after my holidays. It seems like I was still in holiday mood yesterday when I packed my stuff for today, because I forgot my badge and key. Fortunately my boss was already there to let me in. He usually shows up at 11...

  • Say It's Not True

    I hope Queen and Nelson Mandela won't mind me posting the lyrics of their Say It's Not True song, but I feel the need to do so. Last weekend, I heard that a young woman I know is having unprotected sex with a man who is reputed to have unprotected...

  • I will see it DONE!

    Reading Getting Things Done started me thinking about some things I wanted to do, but have been delaying and delaying ... Three of the things that bother me most are: My PC Table is really too small. It was great when I started, but I have simply outgrown...

  • Fountains Of Paradise revisited

    After reading the article on Slashdot about the plans to build a Space Elevator, I decided to revisit my childhood and re-read Arthur C. Clarke's Fountains Of Paradise . This time in English though, not in Dutch. Fountains Of Paradise is one of those...
