For a while now I have been trying to migrate my website to Linux. Right now I’m running a so called WAMP server (“Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP”) and I want it to become a LAMP server (you guessed it, that’s “Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP”). The reason for this is simple: stability and security. Windows has too much security problems and Linux just doesn’t. So I have been messing around a bit with my SUSE 9.3 install. But boy, installing and configuring is one thing, getting all old data to the new server (the actual migrating) is another thing. I have […]
Google has done it again!
One of the best inventions on the web are search engines. Not a day goes by without me using them. Or I should say: using “it”. Or even more specific: Google. I literally use Google every day. And in 99 percent of all cases I find what I am looking for. Well, some time ago, Google released Google Desktop (http://desktop.google.com) , which brought the power of Google to your (Windows) computer. Well, they now released version 2.0 that adds a shipload of options and extra’s. I was hooked on version 1.0 but 2.0 is really a huge improvement! It comes […]
World’s Ugliest Dog
Ok now, this is NO joke. This actually IS officially the World’s ugliest dog.. Pheww, it looks like a nightmare! In fact: if ZOMBIE-dog’s excist, they MUST look like this! This canine, is a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested owned by Susie Lockheed of Santa Barbara, California. In June 2005, Sam won the “World’s Ugliest Dog” title at the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the third consecutive year. Maybe someone can perform an exorcism here!

Hasta la Vista, Baby!
As always Microsoft creates a lot of hoopla around the birth of their new operating systems, and the unveiling of Windows Vista (aka “the OS formerly known as Longhorn”) hasn’t been an excpetion either. A collegue of mine drew my attention to some detailed information about Vista and the way it is going to work with games. Well, on the surface there is a lot going to change. If it’s all for the better? I don’t know. Now, let’s look at some details that came through: “Vista uses the Windows Graphics Foundation, or WGF. WGF 1.0 will use DirectX 9.0c […]
Dumb and dumberer: Thieves steal fake Munch artworks
Just read this on the BBC News Website: Masked thieves in Norway have stolen what they thought were three Edvard Munch paintings – but which turned out to be worthless copies. Two unarmed men burst into Oslo’s Hotel Continental, threatened staff and removed three pictures from the walls. But the hotel had swapped the originals with duplicates after two real Munch works were stolen from the Munch Museum in the city almost a year ago. “It’s a real fiasco for the thieves,” hotel manager Siv Lunde Kolrud said. The hotel’s art collection includes 12 Munch originals, which were “in a […]
