(a quick post, since I’m travelling right now and don’t have much time)... One killercolumn from Robert X. Cringely:
This Week Changed the World of High Tech
Forever, Though Most of Us Still Don’t Know It
...And Microsoft? Microsoft kicks the dog… :-)
self-replicating & slapping robots
These self-replicating robots are all over the place right now (media-wise)... video
But, personally I find these first discussing then slapping robots much more interesting…
after the slashdot...
we still have the stats!
pages: 157804
bandwidth: 12.43GB
(that’s May 2005…)
take a look at imho the most interesting statistic…
...and 16.2% uses IE! (probably at the wrong site… ;-) )

This could be a follow-up to my Love Goddess issue-post… I have no clue whatsoever what it has to do with my page, but does that matter? enjoy :-)

This is gonna be a classic… I guess…
First check the pictures:
...and then the flash-animation…
overheard in New York
Dumb teen:
Hey, look at this! It says “Train for jobs in beeyotch.”
Smarter teen:
Fool! That word is biotech. Why you gotta be ignorant all your life?
Let's move on...
Well… since I haven’t been wiped off tha intarweb just yet, let’s move on! :-)
So… for something completely different (it’s a sunday-afternoon after all)...
Check out the Make a Meatspace Shuffle-competition… (and check the slideshow!)
slashdotted!
Well, rant along in the comments if you will… but getting slashdotted makes me happy! :-)
even when the webserver has had it moments… I guess I hit the ceiling several times :-) (but this being hosted on a sub-$100 ‘stuff-I-had-laying-around’ webserver you won’t hear me complain one bit)
Somehow unwillingly I’m in the middle of a MySQL-poweruser-bootcamp-from-hell… Well, I think I got it tackled now… but we’ll see… if MySQL acts up, enjoy my 404, it keeps the /.-crowd happy as it seems (it draws 4x the traffic my original article does LOL)
finished my encrypted fileserver!
Well… I guess it’ll never be finished, but still… Finally it is as I imagined it a while ago…
The machine (named scramjet):
(actually, I should’ve called it Tonino...)
So, what is it?
I now have a fully-encrypted fileserver in my closet, which means that all the data that’s on there, actually can’t be found physically on the server :-) To be more precise, the data you copy to the server gets encrypted and the data you read from it gets decrypted, all on-the-fly…
And the sugar-on-top on this one is that it’s now got a webinterface for uploading torrent-files to it (or parse the URL’s) and it starts downloading(&encrypting) them.
The webinterface (of TorrentFlux and that’s a legal torrent...):

Larry on Symbian S60
Ha! Leisure Suit Larry on my phone! :-)
I played this on a 10MHz 8086 XT in black&white(orange actually) about 17 years ago and it runs smoother and in full colour (that’s probably CGA) on my phone now :-)
full version of larry (just upload the .sis to your phone) can be found here
