KPN rings in mysterious ways

A few days ago, I cancelled my KPN telephone subscription. I hardly ever use my landline and really don't like being called on it. It's interesting how someting once so essential can become superfluous. Only a handful of people had its - unlisted - number. I generally use my mobile to ...

Media Temple now hosting Whedonesque.com

I've been a loyal customer at Pair.com for 11 years (after my first hosting company was bought and ruined by old-style Yahoo) and although I have a Dreamhost account as well, I've always entrusted Pair with my more 'important' sites... i.e. just about everything, except some dormant photoblogs.Whedonesque.com, the most ...

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. ...

A ‘puter, I has it

Sometimes I wish I was an OS-nazi. I'm not. I appreciate Windows and the abundance of software available to it as much as I like the neat structure of OS X. I admire Apple's design as much as I don't care about a tool's aesthetics. I like that you can ...

We can has Heroes, just for one day

Was the net slow for you yesterday? My transatlantic connection was completely throttled. It's a wild guess, but it may have been the 140260 people torrenting the Season 2 premiere of Heroes combined with the 113347 breaking the law for Prison Break S3x02. And that's just counting the ones listed ...

Test-driving my Nokia N95

I recently switched from KPN to Vodafone to get a good deal on the Nokia N95. I'm terribly brand-loyal, but KPN aren't the most happening provider around and they couldn't offer me anything better than 370 euro. I picked up the phone for 129 € from the Vodafone shop yesterday ...
