LifestreamAnother booming industry this time of year. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’ll never get closer to actually burning money. Another win for capitalism and shady traditions.
The New Year’s celebration. The focal point of our fixation with time. I can’t but admit that even I tend to be affected in some small way. The concept […]

NS = VeriSign. Exactly what was predicted (#917).
I have to say that Networksolutions.com is the biggest bunch of dishonest scammers to ever manage top level domains. As has been documented thoroughly already. And they are probably not alone. The word ‘honest business’ just isn’t in anyone’s vocabulary anymore. I reckon that NS isn’t the […]
Just a few epiphanies that I’ve had lately.
First off, I saw this sappy request for donations for the purpose of sending toys to Iraqi children. Mainly on American sites and I believe that the organization behind the whole thing was also American. As commendable, unselfish and gracious as that may seem it still got me […]
Including the brilliant This Land (by JibJab) and many more.
As a continuation to #1129 but far from the proper conclusion I’d hoped for, Washington Post offers yet another account today of the “airline service” offered by the CIA.
Eight weeks later, on Dec. 18, 2001, American-accented men wearing hoods and working with special Swedish security police brought two Egyptian nationals onto a Gulfstream V that […]
As I follow the widening conflict over Intellectual Property it is becoming increasingly clear who you can trust these days. A rift has been in the making for a long time now and finally the players start to emerge for a global battle of commerce and justice. For a while it looked like it was […]
Ok, here we go with culture and traditions again. Christmas is all but over once again and if I only get by New Year’s I’m all set for another year free of participation in any major traditions. Xmas in the only institutionalized tradition left with the potency to really touch you in any way and […]
Just a small note to say that Anime Supreme has added the third and final Rurouni Kenshin TV BOX to their tracker. Splendid work.
Box 3 contains episodes 63-95 and is encoded in Xvid and packaged in OGM, with dual ogm audio streams (english / japanese) and with optional english subs.
After years of meddling and countless dead ends I have finally arrived at a solution that I can live with. The problems with the Epox mainboard (#1200, #1209) were remedied by a) getting another harddrive, namely a Seagate instead of a Maxtor and b) by replacing the G400 with a Radeon 9200. Config is stable. […]
I did a big mistake yesterday as I just assumed that the “new” 8x Memorex DVD+R Printable discs would work just as well as the old 4x Memorex discs that I’ve been using for a couple of months now.
I don’t know if there is something wrong with the write strategy for the disc (by CMC […]
