Great experience to see those small aircraft make their speedy aerobatic moves so close by!

Referrer spam (2)

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

OK, that is it…the Referrer category is out!!

Tried some things to prevent spamming, but still got hit by several of those f*ckers in the last 24h.

Ofcourse they were sex related…aahhh, now *that* I can’t take

anymore…being home alone for 3.5 weeks now, these ‘too hot to handle’

links on my site have to STOP! LoL:)


Will look into this issue when I have more time though!

Apple, Intel & IBM and uhhh, ohyeah…iTunes and podcasting! :)

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

Not the first post on the net about these topics, certainly not the last…

Check out Steve Jobs' keynote speech…interesting stuff!!
The news about iTunes & podcasting functionality got a bit snowed under by the major announcement of the day: Apple's move from IBM's PowerPC architecture to Intel processors.
With the current market attention on future Apple products and last years delay in introducing improved processor capacity (G5 > 3GHz? G5 for the Powerbook??) I think Apple make the right choice.
Most important is actually that they *made* a decision…whether it will be the right one, well, as always only future can tell. Doing nothing was/is/will be never an option!!

Then the 'iTunes with podcasting feature' news;
No surprise that my friend Adam Curry was 'used' by Steve to introduce the phenomenon. Especially after the meeting they had about podcasting two weeks ago.
It was great to hear Adam talk about it in the Daily Source Code…hehehe, trust me, I *know* the feeling he got when hearing this kind of special moments :)
And yes, we all know the podcast development wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Dave Winer! The 'other' podfather and (for most people unknown) huge force behind podcasting…thanks dudes!

Future is coming closer everyday! …or are we living our future already?? :)

Referrer spam

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

I heared of it before and it finally came to me, doesn’t that make me feel happy?

Ahhh, hit by referrer spam over the last days and trying to find solutions for this…none were 100% successful sofar :(

As I am testing various options, the referrer category is still listed

on the homepage, but not for long though (am not into ’she-males’! :))

Zeeland

Sunday, June 5th, 2005

Just came back from a family-weekend in Zeeland (South West province of

The Netherlands, I guess known internationally mostly from the big

floods in 1953), had a great time there, but am TIRED!

Off to bed for a good night’s sleep :)

Hero!

Marilyn Manson

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

Pfewww…

Just came back from the Marilyn Manson concert in Amsterdam!!!

What can I say…he *is* the dark side of my character…in one word; FAN-TAS-TIC!
The concert was a bit short, but I enjoyed every moment! The afterparty was nice too :)


Watching people is always fun and even better for these type of gatherings, cool designs!

Kissy in Canada!

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

Didn’t post about it yet, but am home alone since two weeks (come and join the party y’all :))

Seriously; Kristel (aka Kissy) went to Canada (Banff) for three months! A

perfect opportunity to reflect life for both of us, pity we couldn’t go

together, maybe some other time! :)

She left over two weeks ago and is having a GREAT time (no surprises there!).

I will go there for holiday end of July, can’t wait…the first pictures she sent were amazing!

NL votes against EU constitution

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

…the results of the dutch jury:

‘NO’

Over 60% voted against…I guess the statement is made.

It’s not quite clear yet if this shows a general ‘no’ against the EU

and/or the constitution. Perhaps it is more a protest against the

government as a whole or the way this constitution process is handled.

Nevertheless, together with the French ‘non’ and the British

hesitation, the process started by politicians is put to a temporary

hold, needed for reflection!
