Like I wrote earlier, I got a nice IBM eserver xseries 226. After I figured out that the CPU was, in fact, 64-bit capable (amd64/intel64 – EM64T), I went and downloaded the x86_64 version of FreeBSD 6.2, burned it on CD, popped it into the drive, and…. nothing Okay, nothing […]
I recently got an IBM eserver xseries 226 from somebody, they only do HP in that shop, and it was a leftover from a takeover they did a little while back. Since he wasn’t going to use it, he gave it to me. Thanks a lot buddy! 🙂 After some […]
really do not match! Why do people take their bikes into a subway? The trains are overcrowded as it is in rush-hour, and every so many stops someone rams a bike into a compartment. It’s one of the many things I think the GVB (The company that does all of […]
Today we said goodbye to our old manager, it’s sad to see him go, but his ideas just didn’t match with the direction the company is going. I think he found a spot where he’s going to be much more happy now. Still, we’re going to miss him. He’s got […]
It’s fairly well known that I run windows xp on my home computer (for my work I have a MacBook Pro). The only reason I run Windows XP on that thing ( it’s acctualy a triple boot system: Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2 and Ubuntu) is for playing games. ( I’m […]

And the winner is…. Martin Adams! Boy, was that ever a tense final. First Adams put the score to 6-0 in sets, after which Phil Nixon came back to put the score to 6-6. Then Martin picked up where he left off and won the last set, making him the […]
At least, that is what Steve Ballmer claims in an interview. This so smells like another round of FUD from Microsoft. Mind you, he does not deliver any form of proof, but it’s more a continuation of the deal with Novell earlier this week, where Microsoft agrees not to sue […]
Thanks to a good friend of mine, I got a Cisco 7960 IP Phone today! I intend to explore the features of the beast, and maybe try to get it working in combination with the voip thing I get from xs4all. Perhaps toy arround with Asterisk while I am at […]
I’ve been editing and structuring the Wiki for the -IX for some time now (the name hasn’t been decided on yet), and it looks good. We have people, we have hardware, we have transit and rack space. Now all we need is to get started, and we’ll be happily peering […]
