Dood

I‘m sorry. I didn’t have time to watch the World Cup Soccer but I read that Germany won 4-2 from Costa Rica and that Poland surprisingly lost (0-2 against Equador). Two paradoxes on one day: The Yearlykos conference in Vegas, … Continue reading →

Google Spreadsheets

Posted on June 7, 2006 by Arthur

Earlier this day, I received an invitation to test drive Google Spreadsheets (Note: Google seems to be stuck in a space-time continuum today). I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post screenshots but, for what it is intended to do … Continue reading →

Heap

Posted on June 6, 2006 by Arthur

By coincidence I found the site of Imogen Heap (her picture was featured on FlickR). I like it, but I’m not into music. I hate music. I’m as you’ve found out, a proud reformed ‘music listener’. Music kills. Secondhand music … Continue reading →

I noticed that there was a DOS attack on the Dreamhost servers (what is a DOS attack), which hampered access to both hoogervorst.ca and strncpy.org. I was notified by Alfons that old classmates were planning a reunion (“Class of 82”) … Continue reading →

BA

Posted on June 2, 2006 by Arthur

Today was a tiresome day, which I obviously blame on both weather (rainy and warm == muggy) and the apparent after-effects of the scope. At some points it felt like I was trying to catch up with the world and … Continue reading →

Evolution in the tub (and cave, at that)

Posted on June 1, 2006 by Arthur

Two science articles that caught my eye today (and yesterday): First the finding of unknown species in a cave that appears to have been sealed off for over 5 million years and may as well contain ancient lifeforms that appear … Continue reading →
