Editorial - 31 May 2001 Been reading the entire dvd reviews section of
The DVD Times yesterday. An excellent website about old, new and upcoming dvd releases, mainly focused on the european
zone 2. Sure, there are comparisons with zone 1 releases, but since it's an english website, zone 2 is the main focus.
Which is good since not all humans live in America. Editorial - 30 May 2001 First things first : I know that the correct spelling of dates in english/american is actually :
"may 30th, 2001" but since I'm european I'd like to keep things the normal way. Sorry guys, but it just isn't logic to
put the day inbetween the month and the year. First the smallest (day), then something bigger (month) and ending with
the biggest thing (the year). The way you guys in america write down addresses is just the same : "10 Park Lane" ?
What's that all about ? Not the first Park Lane, but the tenth ? Off course not. It's "Park Lane number 10". First
the street where you have to be and then the house. What's the use of giving the house first ? No logic there people,
no logic, I'm sorry. Editorial - 28 May 2001 As mentioned last week : last saturday was the wedding of my buddy Patrice. Nice long wedding
ceremony. And a fun party. Took some pictures afterwards. Might post them later on. Only downside to the weekend :
three of my family-members were hospitalised the same weekend. Two of my little nieces (inflamation of the troath and
meningitis), and someone with a serious heart-condition. And no ... none of these things had anything to do with the
wedding. It all happened before the party. Editorial - 23 May 2001 Got up this morning feeling okay. I could hear in stereo again. Two working ears ! Gee whiz and all that. But alas ... a little more than an hour later ... PLOP ... mono again ... So when mentioning to Franky that my ear is still blocked, he produced this think-about-it-one : "That just goes to show that man is an animal that wasn't made to walk around on two legs." And that's the best excuse I've ever heard to stay in bed and not get up. Got this cool e-mail yesterday. About an upcoming protest against Bush's recent ideas (as if they're his anyway) for solving the american energy crisis. His "fuck-the-environment" plan as I like to call it. Read more here and do your part. By the way ... thought I'd mention that our leased line went offline yesterdaynight and -morning. So we weren't browsable then. Editorial - 21 May 2001 My ear hurts. It's completely blocked. Shut tight. Think I'll get me another dose of my medicine.
Those big white wonder pills against headaches and stuff ... Editorial - 20 May 2001 And voila ... a site-update from beyond the realm of the sick. Just a few hours after writing how I was getting sick, it hit me full frontal ... got home, crashed in the sofa and didn't get up until it was time for bed. Thanks to the doc I got the rest of the week off to recuperate. A five day weekend ! Five days of feeling better, doing something ... and then feeling tired again ... major pain in the you-know-where ... Anywayz ... despite all this, the promised cocktail-party for Duvel's birthday went ahead as planned friday-night. I didn't wanna back out, since I'd been the one who'd been pushing him to have the party. And since it was in my own house, I didn't have to drive to get back home, did I ? And as almost always ... some pictures ... I've got a great one ... Editorial - 15 May 2001 Remember my sore troath ? It's getting worse. Headache, warm feeling and the obligatory runny nose is
quickly approaching. A common cold, fever ? Well, seems that's just like what the Microsoft
MSDN site was experiencing last
week. Got these great screenshots from an old friend. Thanks again.
Obviously it ain't simple keeping that many pages foolproof online. And computers always seem to have a mind of their
own ... at least, that's what many users in these real stories published on Franky's
Vendetta.org seem to think. Go check it out.
I've posted some stories of my own over there. Editorial - 14 May 2001 Thank God this page isn't speech-driven (LHSP-shares anyone ?), 'cause I've got a bit of a sore
troath. Don't know why. The weather's been very nice lately. Just had 5 or 6 days of 25 degrees Celsius. We don't get that
a lot over here. Should start considering getting my skateboard out of the closet and dusting it. Editorial - 8 May 2001 I have just devised a new motto : "Laat ons ons goesting maar doen, 't zal beter werken." Yes, that's dutch. It means : "Let us do our thing, it works better". Why this ? Well, Franky has been struggling on the phone with a swedish firm in order to get our online timesheet program working again. It only started working again when he deleted the damn thing and reinstalled it. Back in no time. Now let's see how long this method of action works ... how long we can keep doing this before we fall flat on our faces. All bets accepted ... Editorial - 3 May 2001 Updated the out section with pictures from my seatrip. Nothing fancy, still cool. Just like the weather actually. Btw, for all you non-dutch-speaking people coming 'round here : that part of the site is in dutch. No english provided, sorry. But the pictures are viewable in any language. Editorial - 2 May 2001 Halfway through spring, summer approaching. 25 degrees tomorrow, rain the day after. Ain't
that funny ? Anywayz, been to the seaside last extended weekend. Shot some pics, will be uploading 'em later. Haven't
found the time yet to webedize 'em. (webedize = convert to format to use on the web) darkman says sleep tight |
