  • One Year Sasha

    Last November 2008 I had Sasha for one year. And boy has she changed! She’s such an adorable little kitty. Yes, kitty .. despite that she’s growing.

  • Electricity Bill

    Yep, the guy showed up in December after Christmas to read out the numbers. And now a month later I got the electricity bill. Yay. But, I kinda expected it: I have to pay more. I paid like 60 euro a month for gas/electricity. And after a year it turns out I used more. (Damn…

  • Impressed with WordPress 2.7

    For an open source project the WP 2.7 release is significant enough. The dashboard (backend) looks pretty damn nifty and I just hope 3.0 will introduce an equally pretty frontend. I would NOT mind using that as my default theme!

  • Improving Gmail Security

    In a few of my other blog posts I have already used the example of Gmail and https to improve security. But I feel with the recent improvements Google introduced that it is time to emphasize security and email again.

  • My xbox360 – Part 2

    I’ve got some additional information, so I thought to waste my time writing it up. Here goes ..

  • PageRank Went Down

    Today I read on vBulletin.com that Google’s PageRank has been updated again. So I bothered to take a look. Let me start by saying that I do care and do not care about page rank. It doesn’t bother me a bit if a site has 1 or 2, or 4 or 6 or 10. But…

  • Kitty Got Scared

    Ok, I have to admit, I wasn’t so nice to Sasha, but it was funny!

  • CES 2008

    CES 2008 has started and all the tech sites are going crazy over it. They’re posting the thinnest and largest monitor, the easiest new devices and the super cool technology etc. Personally I am not impressed, but I should be.

  • Using Moodblast

    [Update in 2016] It’s been years, and I no longer use or recommend this tool. I thought the blog post was fun enough to keep around though. Maybe consider something like Hootsuite now? Over the last year or so I have been signing up on one social network after the other, from MySpace (ugh!) to…

  • Die Hard And Fireworks

    Yes! The HDDVD Box with the four Die Hard movies has arrived. And it’s the 31st of December today, which means that we are enjoying enduring an evening of old classic movies or Christmas movies, and top100-everything lists on TV, speeches and musicals before we start having fun with friends and family, set of fireworks…

  • Top 10 Apple Products

    At this moment I can not browse the web without running into a Top X list, and some are fun or nice to read, but the majority of them are just made without any thought. For example, there was an article on Digg about top25 movies from 2007, but a good handful were all made…

  • What Goes Where On My System?

    My Mac Pro has a bunch of hard drives right now, and I have been adding, swapping, and removing drives the last few months. It was time for me to get a bit more organized and I think that’s a great tip for everybody. It gives you a much better understanding of what is on…
