On the brink of 2005
We watched the Two Towers last night. We had already seen it, but because we enjoyed watching the first installment of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ (last Monday at CBC), we decided just to buy all three DVDs. Preferably fullscreen … Continue reading

Now, hey. Wait a minute.
Reading about the tidal wave/earthquake disaster in Asia, I noticed that most media outlets mention that Swedish tourists have been hit the hardest. The Swedish foreign minister, Laila Freivalds, says: “You won’t find many people in Sweden who don’t have … Continue reading

OK then.
OK. For once, but then only once, a Dave Winer comment makes me laugh the wires off my table. There’s a lot of those wires too, here. I quote: ” Just went for a walk in Amarillo. A couple of observations. … Continue reading

Houston, it’s a mess outside
It’s a mess outside. The snow has been thrown all over the sidewalks on both sides of the road in front of our house. Sidewalk? There’s no sidewalk! Don’t expect me to make pictures of the scene either. It’s snow. … Continue reading

Houston, it’s still snowing
It’s still snowing. I was out for a couple of minutes to walk the dog but decided to leave it with that. It makes no sense to stay outside and pretend to be a playball for the gusts. In the … Continue reading

Mo’snow
It looks like we’ll have our share of snowstorm tomorrow. The Weather Office calls for a Blizzard alert and an amount between 10 – 15cm. Commercial broadcaster ATV mentions between 20 to 50 cm. Ten centimeters is plenty for me. … Continue reading
From Keyl to the Provinces of Europe
Unintentionally, I ended up watching an interview with Catherine Keyl in a documentary called ‘De Schatkamer’ (The treasure room) [Warning: Dutch moving pictures and sound]. Generally speaking, she headed and presented a Dutch version of the famous American trash talk … Continue reading
It’s that time of the year again
I received a Christmas card from one of my mom’s sisters today. She promised to send me one the day we buried our mom. The card reminded me of the Christmas at home: Mom writing out cards for every each … Continue reading

Still on the run
A colleague reminded me of the forthcoming ‘The A-Team’ movie. Yes, you’ve heard that alright. The plot outline sounds so familiar too: Four veterans, framed for a crime they didn’t commit, help people in trouble while on the run … Continue reading

Scheduler, Scheduler, Scheduler
Over at the Postgres-General mailinglist (no real link to the thread because at this moment the thread hasn’t been completely archived) the question why there couldn’t be a scheduler built into Postgres. The question is completely logical: many operating systems … Continue reading

From Halifax to Brookfield
Earlier this week I had to pick up my (recently) renewed passport. I noticed something that day: while it was nice and reasonably cold in Truro, it was cold in Halifax. Windy, too, but then, it always seems to windy … Continue reading

Crappy software
The other day I noticed a couple things when playing the XBOX version of Jedi Academy: first, the game is based on the Unreal-Engine. Secondly, the gameplay is pretty linear. Linear. For example at a certain stage in the game … Continue reading
