Server upgrade
This server is currently being upgraded to the newest version of Debian GNU/Linux. Since this server isn’t overly important and I’m lazy, I haven’t take the time to create a staging environment to prepare the roll-out of the upgrade. Therefor, certain services may not be available until I get around to modifying the configuration. Most […]
Technisch College Ede
(Sorry, dutch) Injeholland.nl moet naam wijzigen. DEN HAAG – De maker van protestsite Injeholland.nl moet de domeinnaam inleveren en hij mag de naam Injeholland niet meer gebruiken. Gebruik van de naam schaadt de reputatie van Hogeschool Inholland en vormt een inbreuk op het merkrecht, oordeelde de voorzieningenrechtbank in Den Haag dinsdag in een kort geding […]
No inspiration
I’ve been completely void of inspiration lately. I haven’t hacked up any cool projects in weeks; no new articles written; e-mail requiring replies lying in my Inbox for weeks now. All I’ve done in the last couple of days is reading, reading and reading. Almost finished the Hyperion Cantos. But no programming whatsoever. No nethack. […]
Tight job market, my foot.
When I graduated from the HAN university with my bachelors degree in hand, I was informed that it was a tight job market at the moment. Many of my friends with the same educational background as me where having a really hard time landing a good job. During my first internship I worked at ZXFactory, […]
Domain back up
www.electricmonk.nl has been down for the last couple of days. Since I run this server on my cable internet connection, I sometimes get a change of IP. This time I got three on a single day, which was last friday. Unfortunatelly, I can’t change the DNS records during the weekend, since the office where I […]
MSN Migration
When my previous domainname ‘nihilist.nl’ expired, some company immediatelly aquired it and started hosting a porn site on there. They do this so they can get the visitors that come to the domain for the old site for free without having to advertise. Since my old MSN account still was at nihilist.nl, namely msn@nihilist.nl, I […]
IT’s Logic
Some years ago I spent half a year doing an internship at a company named “IT’s Logic”. I wasn’t particularly happy at this company due to the way they did business. In my (and not just mine) humble oppinion, this company had a very unethical way of doing business. The way they treated competition, employees […]
Koninginnedag
Phew, that was one rough, yet fun, week(end). It was Koninginnedag (Queens-day) here in the Netherlands last Saturday, which is always accompanied with a lot of partying. The night before, known as Queens-day eve, is also a country-wide reason for lots of festivities. The two days before that I also had some parties that needed […]
Am I a perfectionist?
I suspect I might be a perfectionist. Everytime I get near completing a script, project, whatever, I tend to find something that can in some way be improved. And before I know it, I find myself actually improving it. It’s not even that I notice myself finding something that can be improved. Otherwise I’d just […]
First day without a headache
Today marks the first day in three weeks that I haven’t had a headache. The day isn’t over yet, but at least it feels like there’s not gonna be a headache. I’m not sure why I’ve been having consecutive headaches for over three weeks. It may have something to do with the weather. We’ve been […]
