I have finally decided to give Twitter a try. Before I did not really see the point, or even had an idea how it would work but the movie below explains this quite well My recent tweets should show up in this blog’s sidebar. If you want the full story you can ofcourse follow [...]

Today I had some bad luck handling usually rather innocent equipment: an SDcard, a reader and my laptop. Somewhere along the way things went very wrong, because instead of importing my pictures my iPhoto crashed, and the data turned out to be corrupted (the camera couldn’t read most photos anymore, and my laptop gave I/O [...]

In de boom achter ons huis zitten regelmatig een paar groene parkieten. Er zitten ook wel duiven, spreeuwen, mussen, zwaluwen en wat je verder in Amsterdam zou verwachten, maar die parkieten zijn in het bijzonder gemeen tegen de katten. Zodra ze merken dat ze Izzie’s (of Tijger’s) aandacht hebben gaan ze uitgebreid zitten kwetteren en hun [...]

For my birthday I’ve spent the money I got as a present (plus some of my own) on a very fancy lock machine.

Being all alone made Fuz so unhappy that he actually stopped eating properly, so we had him ‘fixed’ and brought in a little lady friend: Fien. To avoid the risk of a last successful procreation attempt we can’t keep them in the same cage for the next few weeks. However having a neighbour who speaks [...]

Last saturday I bought myself a sewing machine, the Janome DC3050. The best feature for me is the adjustable speed, but beyond that it’s also supposed to be sturdy (e.g. it won’t break if I make it go trough several layers of tight fabric) and it has tons of other neat options I have [...]

Today DJMuggs, Mag1e, Habbie and me went to a release party for the new Ayreon cd: 01011001. A massive amount of people showed up, once Stairway to Heaven was filled to capacity (and hence the doors were closed) I don’t think every had made it in yet. Luckily we did and we had a great [...]
