Going to FOSDEM 2010!

Status update!

Posted in Hardware-related, Miscellaneous, Personal on August 14th, 2009 by Jan

Short summary of what I’ve been busy with:

  • We’ve moved to a new place, near the city of Ghent. Lots of painting needed be done, decoration, stuff like that… kept me busy for the better part of two months. The results are viewable here.
  • We’ve also moved internet providers, since the all-in-one bundles (TV+Telephony+Internet) came out cheaper in the end. So I’m back at Telenet.
  • Friend from Spain came over during the Gentse Feesten. It’s a treat being able to go by bus to the centre of Ghent in 10ish minutes ;)
  • On a sadder note, one of our smoothcoat cavies, Macchiatto, passed away on july 20th.
  • I’ve managed to trash the linux installation on my macbook, and since I too lazy I put Mac OS X on it again. Said macbook also had to go in for repairs anyway (crack in the topcase). All fixed now, free of charge.

I think that’s about it. Mostly getting settled now in the new place… so far so good ;)

Oh, and at NORAD Tracks Santa you can see where Santa is on his delivery round!

Happy holidays!

Now-reading for WordPress 2.7

Posted in Blogs, Miscellaneous, Software-related, WordPress on December 23rd, 2008 by Jan

After upgrading the blog to WordPress 2.7, the Now Reading plugin didn’t work very well anymore.

The developer is also kinda busy right now, and hasn’t updated his plugin yet for 2.7.

No fear! Heliologue from the A Modest Construct blog has updated the plugin to work for WP2.7, and work it does!

Belgium: FAIL!

Posted in Miscellaneous, Politics on December 19th, 2008 by Jan

Once again, Belgium is the laughing stock of the EU.

Once again, we’re without a government, due to their own inability to follow the constitutional division between the powers in the country (justice/political).

Great.

Politicians: pay back the wages you’ve been (over)payed, and go home. It really is time to put some people at the wheel that know what they’re doing, because obviously the ones we had up to now are le crap.
