Microsoft must have hired a new cleaner who used the wrong socket to plug the vacuum cleaner in...

Iced snow in a curve of the road sucks. Saturday evening my car suddenly lost track and hit a parked van. Dent+scratch on the right side of my car :(( a good reason to look harder for a digital camera so I would have been able to take some pictures of the situation.

The webserver at home now tells the (inside) temperature and airpressure..

Fun for all the family, have a sing-along with The Internet Songbook. Bring earplugs for the rest of the family.

It's C-c-c-c-c-c-cold outside this week. Temperatures around -9 C last night.

Looking for stuff on WAP Location Based Services (LBS) you need MPP (Mobile Positioning Protocol).. found after some hard searching at The Ericsson Developers' Zone where you can download tools and specs.

Spent an hour yesterday snowboarding on real snow (indoor at SnowPlanet).. fun, but I do need more practice.

Found in wired news, the US department of justice rules on searching and seizing computers and obtaining evidence.

I want some more bandwidth at home and it seems I'll have to wait months for Cistron ADSL to roll out here and XS4ALL adsl skips my phone exchange completely so I will get Casema cable Internet.. let's see how that works nowadays.

If you come to these pages looking for "Free sms massage" you really overrate the possibilities of the vibrate mode on your mobile phone. Found several times in the searchterms in the logs.

Decided to restyle the homepage of the webserver at home. The same style as this and other pages (hey, it works for me). I also added some really useful information only available at home.

Someone really likes filling in koos@xs4all.nl as e-mail address for websites (gaming sites, porn, software registrations) which is highly annoying. I'm hoping to at least find out who.

Found some very cool snowboarding pictures. No, I'm not that far with snowboarding..

I have been playing with IPv4 multicast.. cool stuff, great possibilities and the longer you play with it the better it starts to look. The idea is to make a multicast version of HIPradio.

It looks like the domain-name-trouble is 'fixed' at this moment with a return letter I wrote and help from a lawyer.

Happy Newyear!!
