Digital cams.

Yo buddy. Yes, you. I know you’re planning to buy a nice digital camera for your wife. Well, you say your wife, but you’d just like to have one yourself too, right? Well: we are running out of removable flash … Continue reading

Left. Right. Bash. Slash.

Over there:    I point to Mark Buehner’s post as Exhibit A as proof that the Right (at least on this blog comment section) is ideologically bankrupt, has no ideas, and only knows how to scream “Shut the Fuck Up” really, … Continue reading

Lindows: moving up north?

Informative and surprising article at Globe and Mail’s suggesting that Lindows is making ways in Nova Scotia. Apparently four Regional Community Access Program Centres have deployed Lindows workstations for Internet access. The company itself has opened a regional office in … Continue reading

‘Dagje uit?’

Pretty images of Deventer leave warm feelings behind. It’s in Dutch (you do speak Dutch, do you?), and the photographer apparently took his/her time to shoot those pictures. Pretty. Basically, the article accompanying the pictures describes a touristic route straight … Continue reading

3D street paintings

Via Metafilter: three dimensional street paintings. Really pretty and amazing. The only point I was thinking of that these paintings should only be seen from one direction: if you think about it, how would the shadowing work anyways? Conveniently, the … Continue reading

Everybody’s favourite event, The 2003 International Rock Paper Scissors Championship, was held in Toronto this year and someone took his camera. If you’re just as foreign as me (hey, that is the best excuse I can give anyone), you can … Continue reading

Via Scripting News an item pointing over at Paolo’s, about Google and Firebird.    “If it’s not a URL, the string is routed to Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” feature. Now, of course you still rely on DNS to get to the … Continue reading

Dutch soccer team

I had to find out over the phone that the Dutch team won the second leg of the playoff football (OK, soccer) game against Scotland. Interesting to see that a young talented Ajax Amsterdam player (Wes Sneijder) became the player … Continue reading

Ord, what?

This morning I briefly glanced through code written a couple of days ago: basically the code took care of spitting out data via late binding into Excel. I had no idea what I was thinking but it surely looks neat. … Continue reading

Algorithms

The most comprehensive resource for algorithms is still the DADS, NIST’s Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures. Completely recommended if you quickly need to look up a way to sort your data. DADS is also living proof why it’s ridiculous … Continue reading

Commercials. The medical ones.

From a outsider’s point of view, there’s something weird about (Northern) American commercials. A couple of years ago I was surprised to see commercials promoting medication and pills. Imagine a country where all these pills and commercials from those drug … Continue reading
