5 records I couldn’t live without
I got asked a tricky question in one of those late night bar crawling discussions.
What are your top 5 records you absolutely couldn’t live without. Albums, in the loosest sense. They could be CD, old school vinyl, stuff you have on mp3 (as a backup off course)… Now there was a nasty question I needed […]

Some Bad English
The unfortunate thing is, these are all real life, straight from my inbox. The really sad part is that this is coming from someone who had been working with Americans for a few years and was now hired to be in a management position…
(after cancelling a team meeting) …In the meanwhile, I […]

Ochtendrituelen
Mijn ochtendrituelen op een werkdag zijn niet bepaald heilig en worden vooral gedomineerd door een gevoel van haast. In theorie verwacht mijn werkgever mij aan mijn desk, fris en monter, tussen 8 en 9. De realiteit is dat ik meestal pas om 8u55 uit m’n bed stap en bijgevolg dus ook meestal pas tegen 9u45 […]

mica la luna
Ik heb geen flauw idee wat dat betekent… Iets met/over de maan vermoed ik, maar het is zo’n nummer waar ik steevast blij van word. Het nummer heeft voor mij een hoog handen-in-de-lucht-en-meebrullen gevoel. (ok een gevoel, als notoir cynicus is het buiten alle proporties dat ik effectief uitbundig gelukkig zou zijn). Ook al ga […]

Tiger
Just to let you know that I think EA made a great move here.
This was the original glitch on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08…
And here is how EA responded…
How about that for customer dialogue!

Judging applications
I was writing up some C# lately for a small tool that automated much of what I was doing. (basically some transformations on data and pushing that to oracle). As all good IT people, I love things that are efficient and make my life easy. Basically, the less time something takes, the better. No matter […]

It’s been a while…
Since I was blown away by something I saw, but yesterday evening I had one of these magical moments. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride really got to me.
First of all, it’s got a very unique style to it. It’s not trying to be one of those realistic animation movies even though every detail is worked […]

Wrapping up
It’s that time of year again. My online time is drastically going down, my social life is on a temporary break and my butt is doing overtime in my couch. The reason for this? Football (not that semi-rugby they play in the US, football as in soccer)
All European club competition are playing their last games […]

Sports
I have been actively doing sports all my life, mainly football (soccer, for American readers) in all its varieties (mini, indoor, outdoor, beach, street, … ) even though I equally like pretty much any other form of sports* (except for cycling maybe). There are a number of reasons why I enjoy sports and a lot […]

Risotto con pepperoni
Aangezien er nog vanalles en nog wat in m’n ijskast en keuken lag vandaag had ik zoiets van "Ik ga hier rap eens ietske koken en den bramus! inviteren voor een ad-hoc mini geek dinner". Zo gezegd, zo gedaan. Naast het eten was er uiteraard ook de gezellige babbel.
Wat er food-wise uiteindelijk ineen gestampt is […]
