Tripod’s messing up! For those that know my webpage a bit longer and have visted my webplace more often, know that I had my share of problems with Tripod. Ok, its free and you get 20meg of diskspace (10 more than with my own ISP – UPC) and 1 gig of traffic for free a month, but they do mess up a lot. Very annoying! Well, they did it again! they deleted my vandegoor.tripod.com account! I have no idea why except when I tried to access it I got this message that the user was deleted becasuse of some violation! […]
The number of the beast
The number of the beast In all the commotion around the upcoming war in the Middle East, people regain new interest in all the biblical and other mystical prophecies that surrounds these global events of epic proportions. Although I consider myself not religious in a biblical sense, I do find these prophecies – or better said: the interpretations of the prophecies – very interesting (one look at my DVD collection will reveal some movies with a very religious theme). So I dug up some interesting things on the net. Let’s start with the bible, King James Edition in English, and […]
Unraveling Donnie’s mystery
Unraveling Donnie’s mystery Before I start raving about the peace protests that went on yesterday all over the world, I will just start with a lighter subject; Yesterday I bought the Donnie Darko DVD. Yes, it’s true. I shelled out some 20 Euros (at this moment it’s the equivalent of about 23 dollars, since the Euro went up) and bought me the “DTS Special Edition” supposedly “loaded with extras”. Ever since I discussed the movie on Feb. 3rd, I couldn’t help being (and staying) very mesmerized by it. There was another coincidence that I didn’t mention here yet. When I […]
Getting there
It feels like the war can break out this week. Bush’s war rhetoric isn’t going to end soon and we just know he wants to start a war. Whats up with that and whats up with Korea? Are the US afraid to tackle the problems they have with Iraq by diplomacy? They are not doing anything war-like against Korea. Movie freak I watched Donnie Darko again the day before yesterday. Then I gave the film to a colleague of mine to watch it: he liked it too. I will buy this movie soon. Its about $20 but worth every penny. […]
“In measuring a circle one begins anywhere”
“In measuring a circle one begins anywhere” Ok, its 23:45 on a Monday night and I just saw a movie that left me puzzled way beyond usually. I pride myself in being rather a movie buff and I own a fast growing library of DVD’s including the Sixth Sense. Now, I have seen some Sixth Sense rip-offs like “The Others” but none of them came close to leaving me behind with a very very disturbed feeling like this one did: “Donnie Darko”. There, I finally said it. I never ever heard about it, never ever saw a preview or anything […]
Bizarre coincidence?
Sometimes life is so weird. I was reinstalling a PC of a friend and I put XP on it. Now you might know that XP has this login screen with little icons on it. You can change them and replace them with a photo of yourself if you want. It seems that XP chooses a random icon to represent the people that can login. I created 2 users so I had 2 icons. Now here comes the bizarre coincidence: XP choose an icon of…. the space shuttle! I could *not* believe my eyes but it is true. Go through the […]
