Hives

Posted on June 14, 2005 by Arthur

Forza! Italia!

Posted on June 12, 2005 by Arthur

Am I the only person in the world who thinks that Forza Motorsport is a ridiculous name for a car racing game? It could have been a name for a political party that propagates … car racing, car racing and … Continue reading →

Excal… IBUR!

Posted on June 9, 2005 by Arthur

Watching John Boorman’s movie ‘Excaliber’ last night, I ended up marking the scene above/left of this text to be one of the movie scenes of the Eighties. It’s not because of the movie itself: it is dark, highly artistic (the … Continue reading →

WikiMedia

Posted on June 8, 2005 by Arthur

WikiMedia actually works pretty good. I installed the wiki on a development machine, earlier this week following the installation details as provided by Meta.Wikimedia. It doesn’t make sense to put it on my home server, since I wouldn’t be really … Continue reading →

Oh (part II)

Posted on June 8, 2005 by Arthur

Earlier today I reminisced about the implications of getting older. When I was 15 years old, I would have never thought that in say, 20 years or so, I’d be living half a world away. That’s another year for the … Continue reading →

Amsterdam CS

Posted on June 5, 2005 by Arthur

I‘ve been in Amsterdam so many times, and that sir, that’s no Amsterdam. We were watching ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ last night, to discover some pretty shots from Amsterdam and its canals. However, shots presumably taken at the Amsterdam Central Station, were … Continue reading →

Smells like a shark

Posted on June 5, 2005 by Arthur

Today’s ‘Past the bridge’ soundsample comes from another band that apparently vanished after publishing their first album (more on that after): Mulu’s ‘Pussycat’ (‘Smells Like A Shark’, 1997, 400+K). I can’t particularly remember why I bought Mulu’s CD, but part … Continue reading →

Dand-a-lot

Posted on June 3, 2005 by Arthur

Noticed today: the change from extremely wet to hot weather seems to have helped (and sped) the growth of dandelions. Out in rural areas, I was surprised to see the massive amount of yellow flowers on the (normally) grass green … Continue reading →
