Choosing an agenda

Els — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:17:19 +0000

Back when I was in highschool, we had a choice between two different agendas. Sports, and pop music. This picture shows half (literally) of the options my kids have today… Spoiled brats!

Instagram and its Big Blue Brother

I have a thing against Big Brother. Not the show (I just choose not to watch it), but the type of society where everything you do or say is monitored one way or another. If you’ve got nothing to hide… What about the old “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”? [...]

New layout, new system, new host, new post

Els — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 13:10:22 +0000

The new layout is quite obvious I think (if you’ve visited before), and the Nucleus CMS blog system is now replaced by WordPress. I’ve also moved from shared hosting in the US to a VPS in the UK, but will yet have to find out if that’s an improvement. No better way to find out, [...]

Windows 7 RC

I'm totally, completely, utterly, done with Windows 7. No, I don't mean I'm done installing it. I'm done with it. Over and out. I'll try and avoid family-unfriendly wording in this post, but it's hard. Last week, I got an unexpected envelope from Microsoft in the mail, containing the Windows 7 RC install cd, so I wouldn't have to download it.

Marks & Spencer broaden their market

Yesterday I was in Liverpool, and took this photo of the entrance of the large Marks & Spencer store: See the woman with the child? You’d think she just came out of the store after shopping for clothes or something. Well, these days you can never be sure of anything — what if she just [...]

IE8 Blacklist: forcing standards rendering opt-in

I thought IE8 was a good idea. Until I read this: IE8 Blacklist: forcing standards rendering opt-in. I'm so not impressed with Microsoft!

Snow?

America has been seeing loads of snow for a while now, and this morning I found this picture in my inbox from my friend David in the UK:

In London it's even better (or worse, depending on your point of view) - enough snow to stop tubes, buses, trains and planes.

But.. what do we get here in Holland? Yup, nothing. Some half-hearted promises by the weather forecast people, but really, as you can see on this picture I took of the path behind my house, this was the best we got:

And it was gone in 2 hours as well :-(
