I’m probably an overly complicated man. I’ve just finished reading the latest Harry Potter installment “The Half Blood-Prince”. I hadn’t read it before because I didn’t want to be weighed down by a Hardback book weighing more than a kilo (that’s several pounds to those that don’t use kilos). Once I start reading I like [...]

One advantage of having a dormant blog, not this one but my old one (joke), is that I can use it as a testbed for various things.
That is what it has been used for today as you can see if you wander over to look.
Some of the tested apps had great difficulties with the enterprise [...]

I use netvibes as my home page in Firefox which has been my preferred browser for more than a year now. Netvibes, which is a great tool incidentally, allows me to keep up to date with all my preferred news sources and bundles in loads of netapps and niceties. As it is browser based, I [...]

So my week will remain a mystery [...]

Everything changes and nothing stays the same. I think we all have permanent reminders but don’t always realize them individually.
Back when I was playing online games I met a fine bunch of people that were members of a gaming guild and we have kept contact over the years. I even went to the States a [...]

This is a first for me. A digg blog post. The list is structured by task which makes it more relevant for me. Definately worth a bookmark in my opinion.

I learnt something new yesterday from our local free paper. We have two since Wednesday, “Le Matin Bleu” and the newcomer “20 minutes“. I had already been told that wearing masks was forbidden (relevant during the carnaval period which is right now) but I learned yesterday that it is forbidden by law to throw multicolored [...]
