2008-03-03 11:55:23
Flying economy
class
on a long flight can be a real disaster. The legroom you have is so minimal, that if you have long legs, or you are just a big build person, you’ll get pain in your legs before you are halfway. One of the best tips I can give you is: Get a [...]

Stars on 45
2008-02-27 12:59:11
Today was another busy day. I woke up with an aching head. It wasn’t a hangover, because I didn’t drink a lot the night before. I made some breakfast, and while looking out of the window, I saw that the weather wasn’t very good. I hate those days, with a gray sky, cold winds and [...]

2008-02-24 08:52:44

Do we have to live more climate neutral?
2008-02-23 15:05:22
Everywhere in the world are people driving cars, flying from continent to continent by plane, and spending energy to cook, central heating and so on. Is this wrong? I think it’s not. There is only one little problem with spending all those energy: CO² emission. Nowadays the climate is a hot topic. Everybody is talking [...]

Working for nothing..
2008-02-23 04:37:45
Last two weeks the hosting provider of my customers is upgrading their servers. They double the webspace and bandwidth, and they move all the data of the old servers to newer, faster servers with a new enhanced control panel.

Music with Windows alerts
2008-02-22 09:09:19
What can you do with all the (annoying?) Windows
alerts like an error or a new email message? Yes, indeed, you can make music with it. I found this movie on StumbleUpon, and it’s very funny.

KLM, here I come!
2008-02-22 07:36:40
I woke up early this morning. I had to go back to Steenwijk, but before I could leave I had some things to do. First of all (and also the most tedious one) I had to clean my room. I’m lucky that my room isn’t very large, so it was done in half an hour. [...]

While sitting in the train and enjoying a bottle of Coca Cola, I felt a little flash of euphoria. The aviation course I’m following gets more interesting every day. Especially the aviation subjects are very nice, and next year we’ll only have the languages and subjects like navigation and routing. I’m really looking forward to [...]
