I had a couple reports of people being unable to post comments on this blog. The root cause of the problem was a ill-configured anti-spam plugin (SpamKarma II). Something seems to be wrong with the captcha generator. A quick glance at the SpamKarma FAQ didn’t yield a solution, so for now I’ve disabled the plugin […]

Some weeks ago I spend a lot of time building a new bathroom in my house. I promised people to put some snapshots online… but till now I wasn’t satisfied with the pictures I made. This was basically due to the lack of a wide-angle lens; I just couldn’t get a nice overview.
So, while have […]

Last weekend we finished rebuilding our bathroom, and we are very pleased with the result! We had a lot of people coming over to help us on stuff like plumbing, putting in the concrete floor, tiling the floor and walls, assembling the units… and taking care of Sjoerd when needed. Pictures will follow!
The planning was […]

While looking at the pictures I took while cooking some shrimps on my BBQ I discovered a wonderfull close-up, which I used in the header above… Not really shure if it will stay on for long, but I think it has got a nice summer feel to it!

Last week I devised a cunning plan to get myself a Streamium SL300i unit. I won’t go into details concerning the plan, but it included a travelsleeper, my dad, a superb performance of the Stripe bigband (featuring my dad playing his trombone) and last but not least: my son.
The SL300i allows you to wirelessly […]

I’ve switched the theme to use the latest K2 nightly partially for fun, but more important to have a site which scales in size. I still need to do some finetuning, but I’ll leave it for now to get used to the design.
And oh yes, the new image on top is another close-up of my […]

Today my accountmanager brought me my company laptop:a full blown inspiron 5150! Allthough I’ll really miss the widescreen of my Inspiron 8500 lots of stuff to be happy about:

3.2 Ghz P4 /HT
1 Gig of ram
80 Gig hd
DVD RW
GeForce FX Go 5200
XVGA (1440×1200)

The first thing I did was wiping the disk and install Ubuntu (5.10), took […]

You might have noticed a major decrease of ppd (posts per day) since the beginning of last week. Main cause is the fact that I suffered from heavy photophobia and ocular and periorbital pain (thank you wikipedia). According to the specialist at the local hospital I have ‘iritis’…. I could get all negative about it, […]

Today we visited the museum of Hilversum to see the exhibition about architects of the first half of the 20th century. Really interesting to see the influences of Frank Lloyd Wright on Dutch architects like J. Wils, J.J.P. Oud, H.Th. Wijdeveld and W. M. Dudok demonstrated by analyzing buildings I pass every day.
The exhibition featured […]

The last couple of days I started working at the ‘Mediapark’ in Hilversum, which is about 10 minutes from my house by bicycle. I’ll be upgrading the 3voor12 site (mmbase) with all sorts of nice features.  The people at 3voor12 are really nice, and actually most development workstations run (k)ubuntu or OSX, superb!
