It’s Sunday evening, and I’m sitting here by my window waiting for the left-overs from the white wine to cool off. Last night was legendary. Nothing special happened, but a chain of events and the totality added up to one long sought-after Saturday night. It started in the middle of the day. As usual, I […]

People always ask why I'm broke… this is why
"You never do anything!" they say. Or "You have a well-paid position and work like hell, how come you’re always broke? It’s not like you ever have time off." They are partially right. I have a loan too, but it’s only recently I’ve begun using it. So, I thought I’d check my account today to […]
A highly tedious and very expensive adventure
.. das Computerwelt ist.. I’m currently sitting here watching Maxtor PowerMax doing a low-level formatting of my harddrive, so that it hopefully will install WinXP without acting like a prom date. After I have installed it, I will remove the drive from its current position. Why, you ask? Well, the current position (IDE2) is ATA33 […]
Spending dough
I’ve been poor so long I’d forgot how fun it is to spend money. On something else than strippers. I’m setting up a Media Center®™ at home, since this is what I’ve wanted to do ever since I got myself a 2nd and a 3rd computer. The 1st one is not up to speed, so […]
Why I hate Tapas
This Sunday my mother and my brother took me and my sister out to celebrate our birthdays. They took us to Eastside’s Westside’s Barcelona Tapes Restaurant without conferring with our digestive preferences beforehand. I’ve been to Tapas restaurants before, and I didn’t like it this time either. Some of you suckers may be all like […]
DIY Wireless Network Antenna (semi-directional)
I’ve been meaning to do this project a long time, since it is so unfathomably easy, cheap and totally kick-ass cool. Or geeky. But I love it. This has been done a thousand times before, you can find other and better tutorials over at www.wireless-warrior.org if you look at their FAQs/Guide section. I have wifi […]
Picture of the Day: The Wailing Wall
Saw National Geographics documentary about the Gospel of Judas yesterday. The images they had from the Wailing Wall and the people there inspired this picture: Thought I’d share it with you since it’s Easter and all pretty soon.
RIP Karl (2005-2006) and Sympathy for mr. Vengeance
My plant, Karl, just died. I can tell, ’cause he’s acting all brown, blackish brown, and when I bought him he was light green. I’m pretty sure he died of cancer. Whatever you may be thinking, I can take care of plants. I treat them like very modest, very vegetably women. I gave him water, […]
Don't cha?
I was waiting for her to be finished with the coffee vendor machine, when she absentmindedly started singing: Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me? Don’t cha? The inside of me was screaming: YES!! I just looked down and mumbled: "I don’t have a […]
From my Outbox: Dear Diary (Crusoe)
Day three hundred and ninety six, Godforsaken island. I still haven’t got my shack up to par since the storm two days ago. I haven’t found anything to replace my wire that was caught by the wind. It’s hard to come across any wire on a deserted island. I will probably have to walk to […]
