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/blogs/dirks_blog/.

Back in Business

After a less than smooth transition from CommunityServer 1.0 to 1.1, I am back! I would like to explicitely point out that Tellingent are not to blame for my troubles, but rather my host Internet24 . They offer a web interface to the sql database which is called "myLittleAdmin" and that thing...

Back at work

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 11:00 - he's one of those guys who believes in arriving...

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 sex with several other women. Maybe she'll...

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 it. I have no decent backup system in place....

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 rare books that captivates the reader from the...

Fountains of Paradise

I've been hearing rumours that the technology is available for the last couple of months/years, but last weekend I read on Slashdot that people are actually going to build it: Arthur C. Clarke's Space Elevator. Wow. I mean two times wow. First wow: after predicting the telecommunication satellite...

Teamwork is everything

This blog entry is a thank you to my collegues from the football team (soccer for my American readers). I play football every Tuesday evening, just a couple of friends and me, nothing professional. Last Tuesday we were 10 people, so we divided in two squads of 5. We stacked the deck in our favour because...

Driving Security

I'm back again after some days of not posting. Well. A couple of days ago I read on gmx that Driving Law Enforcement in France is being tightened. Apparently, they're starting with a Driving License with Points system: everybody gets 20 (good) points, and points get substracted for every offence...
