Using the Asus EEE

Now that I have had my Asus EEE for a week and have taken it for a test run in the field I think it's time to jot down some thoughts. The EEE pc is one of the most satisfying buys ever. It weighs nothing. I don't even feel I'm carrying it. ...

Canon Pixma iP4200

Oh why didn't I get one of these yonks ago? These Canon photo printers don't really cost all that much and the quality is just stunning. I splashed out on the 'pro' type photo paper and an extra set of ink cartridges that should last me a good while. It's fun ...

I can see clearly now

Spending money before you've got it... to be able to earn it. That's what I did today. I have been working on a website for a colleague the last couple of weekends. It's been tough because the house has been drafty and cold - not the ideal circumstances to sit ...

Life’s a bitch and then you marry one

The first item I've ever put up on eBay was grabbed up in no time, but already it's become the ordeal I feared auctioning off my stuff would be. I offered ordinary P&P options but the buyer contacted me to ask if I could courier them the item. I was ...

Moving iTunes purchases from A to B

If I buy a song from iTMS on my work computer, how can I download it again on my home computer? There doesn't seem to be a way other than paying for it again. Yes, I can mail it to myself, or burn it, or ftp it. But really, it should ...

Stan Smith in the house

Last season I noticed my (Fila) tennis shoes were getting a bit tight. As you grow older, your feet keep growing. Whether they actually grow, or just get flatter and thus longer and wider, I don't know. I'd never been keen on them anyway, these 'modern' tennis shoes are higher around ...

Que bueno, we’re not impressed

Recently I saw that footage of President Bush mocking an American journalist for speaking French. (transcript) I'd heard of the incident, but not seen it yet. Whatever else you may think of him, this should be enough to doubt his ability to be at the head of the most powerful ...

The one about the girl who bought a camera

The EOS 300d is mine. Only it isn't. Read if you want to share in my consumer angst. Having tortured myself over the cost of this toy, this thing I can only barely justify buying, ("I don't have kids or pets to photograph, nothing worth saving for posterity...") I finally managed ...

Movable Type licenses updated (or more blogging about blogging tools)

6A have listened to their users and changed their licenses accordingly. Since I personally had no big problems with their initial plans, I can only be even more appreciative of the current ones - they fit all of my sites just fine. I can't wait for the personal edition of 3.0 ...

Cycles

The idea was to hand over my poor decrepit 'mountain bike' over to the bicycle repair 'cooperation' around the corner. It's been sitting on my balcony gathering dust (from the demolition work at the back of the house) and getting a bit rusty - its tires cracked and flat. I was ...

Proudly presenting zie.nl

Zie.nl, the new Dutch video sharing site that I (and our team) have been working on for the last 4 months has just gone live. We had cake to celebrate. www.zie.nl Yes, we realise it's teal. No, we're not that keen on it either. Yes, we'll work on it.
