Just one little thingie ... still a wee bit
overwhelmed by the concert last friday in Gent, thought I'd mention
today's Eric Clapton's 56th birthday. Picture beneath was taken last week
...

Back in action ... Franky has starting updating the Smeg again. Probably enough
reasons to start ranting about again ? His latest rant is a killer, by the way ... (yes, that pun was intended)
Song of the week : "Buck Rogers" Feeder : haven't got the song, am limited to listening whenever it's on
the radio, but boy, what a title and what a guitarsound ... "vettig" like we say in Belgium
Oldie of the week : "Five Long Years" a.k.a. "Have you ever been mistreated ?" Eric Clapton live in Gent,
23/3/2001 : amazing concert and fantastic version of this oldie ...
Last seen movie : "What Women
Want" : half funny, half stupid ... sticks to men/women-issues like a parasite,
kinda like a mosquito trying to suck you dry ...
Seen on tv yesterday : "The
Abyss" : the VCR was doing it's best again ...
Doing this week : Waking up, going to sleep and something in between I guess

Darn Oracle thingie went asleep the whole weekend. Our beloved Oracle 8i didn't want to be
back-upped, so it went to sleep. Killed all database-connections. And Oracle-hell says : "Gee, I'm on holiday the
next 4 weeks, can we continue after those ?" No, we can't ... find the update that solves the back-up-problem.
Song of the week : "Save Yourself" Stabbing Westward : normally I wouldn't take a song from the same band
two weeks in a row, but these lyrics are self-explanatory if you read the topic above :
You cannot save me, you cannot even save yourself
I cannot save you, I cannot even save myself
So save yourself ... save yourself
Oldie of the week : "Are you ready ?" Pacific Gas & Electric
Last seen movie : "Tarzoon : Shame of the
Jungle" : I have been searching this one since my attention
was drawn to it during "De Nacht van de Wansmaak" (see
february). After contacting Dave (who had a copy of it way back in the
eighties) I finally found it and contacted Jan Verheyen to
send him a copy. I gotta say ... nice fellow considering the amount of info he has given on
DVDplayers and stuff.
Seems like a down to earth kinda guy ... promised to send me a copy of his
latest movie "Team
Spirit" on DVD too.
Seen on tv yesterday : "Mannen op de rand" : not as good as previous shows by Woestijnvis, but still
everybody keeps watching it ... strange ...
Doing this week : Still re-installing that reformatted computer. The cd-rom wouldn't install in DOS.
Well, actually, it installed, but fucked up the DOS-install itself ... weird behaviour ... bad drivers ...

Actual scene @ work : an Oracle database pulls itself up to 99% CPU-time ... the cure as
instructed by the Oracle-hell-people ? Installing something from the NT4 resource kit ... djeez ... what's next ?
As always ... random thoughts of the week ...
Song of the week : "Drowning" Stabbing Westward
Oldie of the week : "Help The Poor" B.B.King
Last seen movie : "Dungeons &
Dragons" : don't waste your money on this. Wait for the saturday-afternoon
(while it's raining) television-screening
Seen on tv yesterday : "Piloten" : a flemish serie which follows Sabena-pilots during their work in and
out of the cockpit. Most notable scene : an automatic landing (obligatory due to heavy fog) where you still
couldn't see the runway when the plane was about 3 meters above ground. Just when the plane touched ground, the
runway appeared. Must be scary to do that a first time ...
Doing this week : re-formatting some-one's computer this weekend - a totally fucked-up Win98 install
(memory-problems) which got infected with a virus
darkman says sleep tight
next month
