mrfloris – a little bit of me

Hi, I am Floris.

  • Purchased a New 1TB HDD

    Yep, it was that time again, after throwing away as much as possible and filling up that free space all my drives are basically full again. So it was time to buy a new one. A few days after Christmas I found a nice sale on a Samsung SpinPoint F HD103UJ 1Tb 32 Mb |…

  • Tresor Addiction

    Yes, this is my cry for help – my friends: plan an intervention or something .. because I am addicted to Tresor and I can’t stop snacking it. Kellogg’s Tresor Chocolate Caramel Maxi Pack cereal is just so awesome, .. It makes me feel like a child again, but I don’t care! I throw it…

  • Empty

    There are just a few days where you wake up at a random time of the day (or night) and realize that it is perhaps even more empty than the day before. And you’re not sure how to ‘fix’ that. But it’s ok. Being happy still lets you move forward.

  • My xbox360 – Part 4

    Here I am again. This time with a more positive update. The last attempt didn’t make any progress, so this time I called xbox live support, and got this nice guy on the phone who explained everything and walked me through it. And to be honest: I did not expect it would be of this…

  • I dare you to switch 100% to Chrome

    So, with all the buzz around Chrome, I wonder if anybody really bothers with a full switch? Does it replace your? IE 6 IE 7 IE 8 Safari Opera Camino Flock or even: Firefox Is it just a fun gimmick like running Safari on Windows? Or does it actually make you want to switch from…

  • My thoughts on packet shaping by ISP

    It is not unknown that there are providers (including mine) that shape the packets, especially the micro packets that are used by p2p networks, such as Skype, Torrent Clients, Usenet, and others. Their excuse of course is that they have a specific amount of bandwidth available, and with everybody using the internet there are peak…

  • My xbox360 – Part 3

    Yep, it’s been about a month and this means it is time for an update. Well .. as expected UPS is terrible. I never got the package, and had to wait until the repair order showed as ‘canceled, no repair’. Which is finally did. Time to try again.

  • Create, Merge, Share PDF Documents

    One of the problems in the past with multiple Operating Systems and versions, was that you could not easily share a document from a UNIX machine with a Windows machine, or a Mac. These days this is no longer an issue and great solutions that look beautiful can now be used. Hopefully this blog entry…

  • Crossover Games and Counterstrike: Source on a Mac

    Yes! It’s possible. There .. that should answer the question of ‘Can I run Counterstrike: Source and Half Life 2, etc on my Mac?’ Now let me explain how I’ve experienced it.

  • It’s time for PHP 5

    Despite that it has been known for a while, the time has now simply come. PHP 4 has received its final release, version 4.4.9. The last security fix, the last bug fixes, and the last time it will get support. It’s time for PHP 5. If you run a web site at a hosting provider,…

  • LHC Dooms Day Is Among Us

    http://www.lhcountdown.com/ 14 hours left on the clock, I will be sleeping most of them. In case we all die – but you still get to read this: I love you all, except the people that I dislike. The fear: don’t play with mother nature and the powers of the universe; black hole fail? The reality:…

This blog is just a little bit of me.
