Reading this (from spiegel.de/international), I understand that some people have come up with a “great” idea. They want to make away with trafic signs…
Reading this, make we wonder if the people makeing these decisions actually driver car, motorbike, bicycles, or just walk. Most people who move around in the trafic tend to ignore trafic signs in the first place, do they actually think that removing them will help!!
Living in a country where most indicators (you know the flashing things which will tell other people that you intend to leave the road, or change lane) are broken (even on new cars), this will not really help.
But it will probably save them some money on the budges, which will then be spend on mending people in hospitals instead, but that is a diffrent budget.
Also reading that Makkinga (some please in the Dutch province of Western Frisia) have done this, is kind of scarry.. But the worst part is that they will replace the tarmac with cobblestones instead is frightening; that will cause some broken bones for motorbike riders – these thing are slippery when they are wet, and it will cause acidents. But who cares it’s only a motorbike rider… praise to stupidity

Ok, it’s now official autumn.
I normally do not really complain about the weather (except for the normal; “oh it’s raining”, or “shitty weater yesterday, spend my whole sunday on the sofa with hangovers”).
But it is now so “cold” that I’m starting to think about finding my winter gloves, and that means that I’m not having fun riding to work in the mornings….
Ok, it could be worse, but I still do not enjoy it!!

So Paris Hilton have released an album…. I’ve (by accident) heard on of the songs on MTV… Maybe she should have continued just being famous for the reason of being famous. Oh, if you have enough money to buy your way into the music industry then why not, but please do not play that record where I can hear it….

Hi great, it possible to download some of you favorite tv series to watch on your computer or your (if you have one) vidio ipod.
Cool….. but hey, this is only if you live in the US (and maybe also Canada – but I have not tried the iTunes store for Canada, so who know?).
So what to do, well you can either wait until Apple decides to enable this feature for the store in the country where you live, or you can use Amazon to buy the DVD’s, or as someone suggested to me the other day use bittorrent to download them. There are a lots of options open for the tv series hungry person…..

This must be a joke…..
MPs attack NS for lowering its punctuality targets
When one reads the excuses NS (The Dutch National Train service) have for not running on time, one can only think that when it comes to public transport, The Netherlands must be a 3rd world country.

I’ve been using Movabletype for a couple of years, and it have been a long winding road, with a few mishaps…..
I kind of like it, but I’m not happy about the license policy, and have been looking for something new for sometime. Now I’ve found <a href="http://www.c-note.dk/blog/exit.php?url_id=57&entry_id=29" title="http://wordpress.org" onmouseover="window.status=’http://wordpress.org’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">WordPress</a> which looks nice, the only problem is that I’m a lacy person (ask around if you don’t belive me:-)). And now I’m stuck in this situation where I cannot export all my entries from Movabletype in a format which WordPress understand, and I don’t really want to retype everything. Back to square one… on this one, I will probably find a solution one of these days….
Another thing is that after my disk crash, I’m missing some pictures, I actually have the photos lying around, it just this small thing of copying them to the right place and then make sure it work, oh well it’s on the todo list.

A couple of weeks agoe I opened the door into the room where my server lives…. And heard this strange noice, which was like a scratching noice. I didn’t notice (or didn’t care), well the next day I did care, as the disk which holds my /var and /home was dead…..
Got some new disks, and reinstalled the system with <a href="http://www.c-note.dk/blog/exit.php?url_id=61&entry_id=25" title="http://www.centos.org/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.centos.org/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">CentOS4</a> on mirrored disks. And started the long walk of getting everything to work again.
Now my blog is back, but all the pictures are gone, so are entries between Dec. 3rd 2004 and today….
REAL MEN DOES NOT DO BACKUP!!!!
