Blogs updated… ‘n shtuff

Less bugs, unfortunately my admin blog there still has issues. Teh suck. But hey, the rest works better. So get one while you can and check it out.

Hmm, busy day at work, looks like we’ll be starting with Oracle soon. More training, more challenges, more fun. Pretty interesting. Unfortunately the VPN which was supposed to be working STILL doesn’t even after our supplier has been ’round for the third time. Last time we ever give them any business… and I’m left with the mess and a management team wanting to start using it this week. Joy.

Meanwhile elsewhere, blogging in dutch is starting to grow on me slowly, even if hardly anyone reads it, hehe. Ah, that brings back memories of starting a site from scratch aeons ago in a galaxy far away. I mean, let’s face it, even when X111.com traffic is a fraction of what it used to be it’s still more than what most other people can hope for. So it’s amusing to go back to basics with a fresh blog only site.

But first… nap time.

Within Temptation

Very nice. Yet again a little more mainstream, but they’ve got more punch now. Me likes.

What a week

It’s funny to hear from people that they wonder what’s going on because they check the blog and know the shit hit the fan from the lack of updates.
You’re all a bunch of stalkers! :p

Metisse

Mandriva Linux Metisse Project
The current big thing in linux land is Beryl, offering a luvly 3D desktop experience vaguely similar to but way sjweeter than Os X.
But now there seems to be a new kid on the block in the form of Mandriva’s Metisse. After seeing the demo vids I’m definitely going to give their LiveCD a go next week or so. It’s way beyond anything Beryl can do at the moment, if not as polished. Interesting times.

Tantric master?

Good for a laugh I suppose, haven’t done one of these quiz thingies in oh… ages.

Gravatar back in action

Gravatar It’s now finally possible to sign up or change your gravatar again.
Rejoice!

(gravatars are the little piccies you get next to your comments here and everywhere else on the web, for the few clueless people out there)

Ramen overdose

Mmmm, ramen
For some reason I’ve got a sudden urge to catch up with my Naruto episodes.

Thanks C.

Best use for a MacBook

Bootcamp XP installation on MacBook
Mehehe.

New toy

HP Proliant ML150G3
My new ‘little’ toy, weighing in at 50kg. Powered by a single Xeon 5050 DualCore processor (second one’s arriving next week), it’s fun.

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
