So far this weekend seems like its been an early Xmas! It’t 10:45 in the morning and while I’m making this Blog – sipping some fresh java – I’m enjoying my brand new superfast ADSL… Thats right: this weekend I already got my new fast ADSL. And when I say fast, I mean FAST. Lightning fast… Blazing saddles fast… I’m talking warp 10! Ok, you think: this guys is over-reacting. Well, my ADSL is 8(!)megabit downstream and 1(!)megabit upstream. And I downloaded a Linux .ISO image that was 660megabyte in just 16(!)minutes last night! When I had cable it took […]

OS Shootout: Mac OS X vs. Windows XP
Mac users all over the world usually hate Microsoft and vice versa. For a more indepth and – mostly – objective insight check out this website:Mac OS X vs. Windows XP. They provide a truly indepth view on this matter. No aspect of both OS’s are missed. I would make it the “Geek-link of the week”.
Oops, I did it again ;-)
Call me a gadget freak or a technology addict, but I did it again. I ordered a iRiver iHP-120 MP3 player and in anticipation of it arriving (this or the following week), I also bought the Sennheiser PXC 250 noise cancelating headphones 😉 that I want to use with this beauty. For a review of this gadget, check out the Sennheiser PXC 250 review by PC Magazine. As I write this (at my work – mind you) I’m listening to a soundtrack from the movie “Trainspotting” (Dark Train by Underworld) and I have it cranked up with the noise cancelation […]

Music to go (2)
Last September I wrote that I almost bought the iRiver iHP-100 MP3 player. One of the problems I had with it, was the fact that was just 10 gig. Well low and behold: there now is the iRiver ihp-120 which packs 20 gig of discspace. They just released it on oktober 14th. Here is the CNET iRiver iHP-120 Review. Also, the price tag was a bit steep (at least here in the Netherlands): Euro 475,-. Yesterday I walked into the Media Markt (a huge electrical appliances store here) and saw they lowered the price of the iHP-100 to Euro 399,- […]
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
It is out now: Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: PC game play at its best! I just bought it yesterday and I played it already for hours! This game is truly a great combination between action and cinematics. If you played the previous Max Payne, this sequel is a must buy! If you were diasppointed in the Matrix game, you now have a chance to see what ” bullettime” really was meant to be! This game was the first one to really capture the action style that made the movie The Matrix so great. The storyline is […]
Smooth as a Panther
If you read my Blog you might have noticed that I installed a pre-release of OSX Panther earlier this month. Well, it had some problems with it that I didn’t anticipate. For instance, my browser (Safari off course) didn’t accept any input from my keyboard anymore (which is a bit of a problem when typing an url) and it also ignored my scrollwheel on my mouse. Also it seemed that my bluetooth was completely gone. Other than it seemed to run smooth and I have to say that it also fixed some annoying problems (more on that later). Off couse […]
DVD2one – The ultimate DVD processing tool
Say you have shelled out some $30 for the DVD LOTR Two Towers and you want to loan out that DVD to your neighbour. Wouldn’t you be mad when they return it with scratches on it? I rent a lot of DVD’s and when you get them they look like crap. It is as if people use them as a frisbee or a coaster or let their dog chew on it. That’s the reason I just make a bakcup of my DVD’s and give the copy to whoever wants to see it. That way I make sure my DVD’s stay […]
Mac to the Max: Panther
People who have read my Blog before, know that I have a very nice Apple Macintosh Powerbook G4 from my work. I had a choice between a regular laptop or the slick and sleek G4 – running OSX which is basically a Unix flavor OS. Well, for a technology freek like me that was a clear cut choice. I got the Mac. I have been a real fan of OSX from day 1. It is by far the best OS in terms of stability for a laptop I have seen so far. I have run many different OS systems from […]
