Firefox actually works!
It's quicker on startup, faster in displaying pages, fully customizable, and a lot less vulnerable to internet related threats than IE.
Plus, you can browse multiple pages in one window!

"Het Eiland"
Most hilarious television show, involving the life and pains of 3 guys working at an open space desktop.
Lang geleden dat ik nog zo met den teevee gelachen heb, aflevering na aflevering.
Je houdt het niet voor mogelijk, maar het pijnlijke wordt zelfs grappig, zeker als je met zijn allen op weg staat in de file en je bedenkt dat het leven niet al te veel verschilt van wat onze helden meemaken...

Rat-a-plan in the Congo
Whoah, his Excellency Karel De Gucht went to the Congo, for the second time this mandate. As Belgian's Minister of Foreign Affairs, he plays a major role in following up on the goodwill created in our ex-colonies by Louis Michel, his predecessor.
And you would think that the Congolese would be happy to see Belgian Diplomats coming... with major contracts, shitloads of grease monney, ...
Oh no, our proud and efficient diplomats do bring all the goodies, and more....
For the second time, M.De Gucht and his incompetent staff stepped on a lot of cholera-striken toes:
- upon arrival, they distributed a press file on M.Joseph Kabila, supreme head of allied command (no strike that) - DICTATOR of Congo, claiming "that he was very probably not the son of his father, the late President Kabila... and that it was more likely than not that Kabila JR was of non-congolese origin...." Tell that to a bunch of tribal and tribe-obsessed dudes: your President is a bastard, and he's not even coming from your own country....
De Gucht's team defense: "it was written by an intern"....
- Last time he went to the great Congo area; M. De Gucht, - Charles pour les amis, claimed that he had yet to meet the first single competent politician.... (after touring the whole fucking area for days)...
Wacondah says to the tribe: just like in the old days - let's cook De Gucht for dinner.
More diplomatic incidents: the arrival of Condi Rice in Brussels Airport last week. Another high ranking diplomat is shown on prime time TV yelling at a Diplomatic Service Security Agent: you are in Belgium, fuckface - and I'm the boss here.... REad the full story here at lvb.net and make sure you check out the SD Guys own version of what really happened on the tarmac.
It makes you wonder: what kind of stunt are the Belgians gonna pull off next Sunday thru Wednesday, as the Real Supreme Head of Allied Command visits Brussels. Yes, Yes, Beavis, Bush is coming to town, for the second time, and he's throwing lotsa parties with his ol' pals Chirac & Verhofstadt.
Bearing in Mind that we already have an excellent reputation/understanding/working relationship with the fellows of Texas and assorted colonies, could we please NOT have a senior statesman standing in front of Bush yelling to the crowd: "this guy's NOT from Texas, I repeat NOT from Texas..."
- Embarrassed to have a Belgian Passport... )-)

Robots deployed in Iraq!
US robot warriors to head for Iraq in spring
ISN SECURITY WATCH (24/01/05) - Eighteen robot warriors equipped with
cameras and operated by remote control are scheduled for deployment
in Iraq this spring, where they are expected to by used by the US
military to help fight insurgents, the US Army reported late last
week. The 1-meter high robots are based on a previously designed
robot warrior, the Talon, used to disarm bombs. According to the US
Army, the robot soldier, known as the SWORD (Special Weapons
Observation Reconnaissance Detection Systems), will be fitted with
automatic rifles and will be capable of tracking enemies swiftly.
SWORDS will be operated by human soldiers, who will order the robot
to fire by remote control. According to the BBC, the robot warrior
has four cameras with night-vision and zoom capabilities, can travel
over rocks and barbed wire, and can run on batteries for up to four
hours. The remote control device has two joysticks and a video
screen. The robot soldiers cost US$200’000 each. The SWORD will be
the first robot soldier used in actual combat situations. Their
deployment is expected in March or April, according to The Associated
Press.

"Lucy memorialized": On the death of a city goose
Fantastic story about Chestertown's mascotte: Lucy the goose, who sadly passed away.
As I sat with her that last morning, trying to coax her with another bite, Lucy leaned against my shoulder and gently laid her face against my cheek. There's not a doubt in my mind she was saying goodbye.

A Theory of Power, -Swarming-
A Theory of Power, Jeff Vail's Critique of Hierarchy & Empire: "Swarming, Open-Source Warfare and the Black Block"
Great reference in case you need to counteract a violent attack: 3 key principles:
1. Elusiveness, in the form of mobility or concealment
2. Standoff Firepower, relative to the opposing force
3. Situational awareness of the local environment, relative to the opposing force

Freya is de moeder, maar wie is de vader?
Freya is de moeder, maar wie is de vader?
Dit blogje is een fantastische reactie op de zwangerschap van ons aller minister van Werk, Freya VDB.
Net zwanger, bewust B.O.M., en daarmee koketterend alsof ze het concept helemaal zelf ontwikkeld had. Ze voedt de speculaties over de mogelijke vader... Het mocht maar ne keer uitkomen dat het "nen duits" was...
Voorts zoekt ze het zelf: ze misbruikt haar positie als zwangere mama om zicht te pas en te onpas in het nieuws te laten opmerken. Onlangs sloeg ze een kanjer van formaat, waarmee ze de collectieve net-moeder-geworden vrouwengroep van 't land tegen zich in het harnas joeg: Freya vindt dat 6 weken zwangerschapsverlof "meer dan voldoende" zijn... dwz, als ge over chauffeur, kuisvrouw, een volledige ministerieel secretariaat als babysit & de rest van de SPa als teletubbies kunt laat opdrijven. Bovendien heeft haar pa minister ook ne keer een accident gehad en diene is dan ook ferm blijven doorwerken.
Eens te meer wordt bewezen dat in dit land de ministers net iets meer anders zijn dan gewone mensen... onmisbaar - maar toch misselijkmakend
