Blindedarm

..raw:: html

<html><body><p>Het schijnt dat ik rond deze tijd uit de operatiekamer kwam na een operatie aan een doorgebroken, ontstoken blindedarm. Niet echt veel last gehad, een behoorlijke buikpijn, maar ook niet meer dan dat.</p></body></html>

Problems installing software on PDA

..raw:: html

<html><body><p>Today I had a lot of problems installing some software on a Windows CE based PDA. When the installation procedure tried to open the software screen of Active Sync the screen would open but close again immediately. The installation program would claim the software was installed, which it wasn't. Shutting down Zonealarm solved the problem.</p></body></html>

How to get a CVS server working on sarge

..raw:: html

<html><body><p>If you've installed the default cvs package on Debian sarge, but chose not to configure it as a CVS server, you've got problems when you want to correct that. So far I've followed these steps:

</p><ol>

<li>Remove and reinstall cvs package. Didn't help.</li>

<li>Create a cvs user</li>

<li>Change ownership of /var/lib/cvs to cvs user</li>

<li>Add <br><code>2401 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/var/lib/cvs pserver</code><br> to /etc/inetd.conf</li>

</ol>

Hmm, nothing I tried worked. I just found another machine with no prior CVS install and made it work there.</body></html>

De grootste Nederlander

..raw:: html

<html><body><p>Mijn hemel, een relnicht met grootheidswaanzin die de <a href="http://www.kro.nl/tvradioweb/041115_dgn.asp">grootste Nederlander</a> aller tijden is? Is er geen betere kandidaat voor die titel?

Nou ja, dit is hetzelfde land dat doet alsof terrorisme iets nieuws is en dat het met wat meer blauw op straat (of incognito) op te lossen is... Alsof er ooit grootschalige arrestaties zijn geweest van RAF of IRA cellen. Ook die kampeerden in Nederland!

Daarnaast een regering die het land zo in de put praat dat de economie nog steeds niet wil opstarten. Zucht.

Wie wil met mij mee naar een eiland in de Pacific?</p></body></html>

On losing your favourite magazine

</p><blockquote>There’s something incredibly sad when a publication you had grown to admire, enjoyed reading, and (most importantly) looked forward to receiving, goes belly up.</blockquote>
