Recently, Facebook provided us some information on their server park.

They use about 30000 servers, and not surprisingly, most of them are running the PHP code to generate pages full of social info for their users.

Since an average server consumes about 200 Watt, and with an average SI EER (Site Infrastructure Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 2 this translates to around 400 Watt including cooling and other overhead. In the USA, an average of 560 grams CO2 is emitted per generated KWH, and this brings us to a total CO2 emission by the Facebook server park of about 59 000 ton of CO2 per year.

To put this number in perspective: The entire CO2 emission of the USA is 5 752 289 000 ton of CO2 per year and 66 693 000 ton for Finland.

So, this server park emits an amount of CO2 that is about 1/1000 of the total of CO2 emissions by Finland. I would argue that is not quite negligible.


As they only say that "the bulk" is running PHP, let’s assume this to be 25 000 of the 30 000. If C++ would have been used instead of PHP, then 22 500 servers could be powered down (assuming a conservative ratio of 10 for the efficiency of C++ versus PHP code), or a reduction of 49 000 ton.

Met dank voor de bereidwillige medewerking van:

- de VRT voor het uitzenden van het meest verafschuwbare en verwerpelijke programma van het jaar.
- de leden van de Europese Unie voor het toezenden van hun meest idiote kinderen die niet kunnen zingen.

- de Belgische scheidsrechtsbond voor het verder vervalsen van de voetbalcompetitie.
- de Belgische voetbalbond, om een zo ongeloofelijke verscheidenheid aan nationaliteiten op te stellen, volgende week misschien zelfs een Belg of 3.
- Wesley Sonck, om zoals elke week te laten blijken dat hij op het veld geen bal waard is (zowel letterlijk als figuurlijk).
- Tom De Sutter, om eveneens elke week verder naast zijn schoenen te lopen en een mooi Weberken te blijven doen*.
- De Belgische pers, om zich elke week belachelijk te laten maken door Beuleunie (of hoe ge dat ook schrijft).

- Sven Nys, een van onze minst slechte velorijderkes, die elke week weer een nieuw ecuus klaar heeft waarom hij niet goed genoeg was.

- Alle andere loosers die de selectiecriteria niet behaalden om hier een eervolle vermelding te krijgen.

* Remember Weber? Ook zo'n superster bij Cercle dien dacht dat bij Anderschijt den hemel was. Ik peis dat hem nu een frituur heeft of schoenen verkoopt.

Yanina Wickmayer, arrogante trut.
Wesley Sonck, egoïstisch egotripperke.

Club Brugge, eindelijk nog eens op niveau gespeeld (voor tweede klasse).
Anderlecht, nog twee weken en geen enkele Belg meer op 't veld.

VRT, als dat de selectie is voor "de goal van de week", kan dat twee dingen betekenen.

   1. Het niveau van het Belgisch voetbal is nog een streep of 5 omlaag gestegen.
   2. De kennis van voetbal op de sportredactie is nog wat omhoog gedaald, ge kent er nog altijd geen kloten van.

The large, plastic and metallic sculpture parked outside UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, is stoking the angry fires of parents of children who attend nearby Claremont Park Elementary School.

“My daughter suggested that it was funny,” said John Copeland, whose 7-year-old daughter attends summer camp there. “She shouldn’t be talking to me about this. Now I’m forced to explain genetics to her, and why the Bible doesn’t say anything about it.”

The genetically correct structure is part of an ongoing exhibit titled “DNA Sculpture,” created by acclaimed artist Ashe Kutchya, which represents “genetic material from an enzyme,” according to Lawrence Hall of Science’s website.

It depicts a DNA double helix — two congruent helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. The structure is larger than life, and elongated. Its genetic analogy to human life is subtle.

“It’s a piercing piece, quite abstract,” said Francis Pegro, the groundskeeper in charge of maintaining the sculpture as well as other displays in the playground. “It’s honest and natural.”

Pegro said he’s received some complaints, but also praise.

Although DNA Sculpture has been on display in various public parks and playgrounds, Jenny Garrotte, Claremont Park PTA president, said she found it distasteful and verging on obscene, and e-mailed parents Wednesday morning, asking them to file complaints with Pegro and with Alameda County Code Enforcement.

“Everybody is entitled to their own opinion regarding what art is,” said Garrotte. “If this piece weren’t visible to passersby and available for children to play on, I would not have a problem with it.”

Still, Terence Lythma, a teacher in the school’s summer program, said he has not heard any of the children talking about the piece.

“It’s the parents who have been talking about it,” he said. “The children don’t really make an issue of it.”

Kutchya, the creator of DNA Sculpture, could not be reached for comment despite attempts by phone. But it’s not the first time his sculptures have drawn public scrutiny. In 1996, the Oakland City Council made him modify the depiction of DNA so that it matched a dog’s DNA structure rather than a human’s until public pressure and national attention reversed the city officials’ position. He later reverted the structure to depict human DNA.

In 2006, The Ovum, a sculpture of a human unfertilized egg by Sonoma-area artist Nabry Gussom and installed at the Petaluma Community Center, generated complaints over its super-realistic undulations and dampness.

“It’s awful that people react to art in this manner,” said Amy Boswin, director of the Novato Ignacio Art Gallery near Petaluma. “If they opened a biology textbook, they’d see a lot more risqué stuff than that.”

Meanwhile, Copeland said he hopes the owner of the plaza removes the sculpture before school starts next month.

“There are 1000 kids in the school that are going to be exposed to it,” he said. “It’s vile and offensive, and kids have no business seeing what God thought fit to hide from our eyes.”

The head of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows development confirmed that Windows 7 will take the unusual path of moving straight from a single beta, which was launched earlier this month, to a release candidate.
Sinofsky fleshed out the plan today and hinted that just as there would be no Beta 2, the company would also not provide a RC2 build. In other words, there may be only one released build of Windows 7 before it ships, possibly much sooner than even some of the most aggressive rumors about Windows 7.
How much different can Windows 7 really be with such a shortened beta cycle?"

Laat ons eens rekenen.
Enkele gegevens:

Topsnelheid: 407km per uur.
Tankinhoud: 100l.
Verbruik aan topsnelheid: 115l per 100km.
Banden verslijten op 50 15 minuten aan deze snelheid.

Aan 407km/h rijd je 113m/s, dat is 1km per 9s.
Dat is een volle tank elke 87km, oftewel elke 782s, oftewel elke 13 minuten.
Natuurlijk moet je optrekken tot deze snelheid, wat meer brandstof vraagt, dus laat ons aannemen elke 12 minuten.

100l tanken duurt, laat ons zeggen, ongeveer 8 minuten, betalen ingebrepen.
Dus rijd je eigenlijk 87km per 20 minuten, ofwel 261km/h.

Nu moeten we nog even rekening houden met nieuwe banden elke 50 15 minuten rijdtijd.
Er zijn weinig wachtenden voor U, dus op een uurtje bent U klaar.

Laat ons afronden, om de 5 elke tankbeurten.

U rijdt dus 5 1 keer 12 minuten, tankt 5 1 keer 8 minuten, en wisselt 1 keer banden, gedurende 1 uur.
Tussen elke tankbeurt deed U 87km, dus U doet 435km 87km per (5 1x12)+(5 1x8)+60 minuten, oftewel per 2h 40 minuten 1h 20 minuten.

Dat is 163 67km/h.
U zit gemiddeld per uur rijden slecht 36 9 minuten effectief achter het stuur.


Ik ben sneller met mijn Golfke :-)

Jawel dames en heren,

voor het eerst in de geschiedenis is het gebeurd.

Vanavond werd "Neveneffecten" uitgezonden op Canvas met het ware verhaal van $interklaa$.
Jawel, het programma op VT4, met Sacry Movie 2 en Jackass, was intellectueel uitdagender, en dat is een wereldprimeur.

Hoe is het toch mogelijk dat zo'n belachelijke zever op TV kan komen (en ge moet weten, ik kijk met plezier naar Amerikaanse brol gelijk "According to Jim"), dus da wilt wa zeggen over het brolniveau.

Dus VRT, voor de zoveelste keer wint ge de FuckYou van den dag (nog zo'n belachelijke uitvinding van ulle kakprogramma's).

And the crap of the day award goes to...

onzen eigen VRT.

Wat voor een belachelijk TV zenderken is da toch geworden tegenwoordig...

Belachelijke series als Thuis, kijk dan beter naar WIttekerke of zo, dan ziede tenminste nog wat blote tetten.
Chronisch-diaree veroorzakende "reality" programma's, welke idioot wil daar in godsnaam naar kijken?
En nieuws en sport programma's, amai m'n kloten, meer geleuter dan informatie, voetbalverslagen "op muziek", meer tijd in de reclamebrol en wedstrijdjes...

Zet aub den elentriek af bij dien typisch Belgischen kutkakkloten belastingsgeldverspillende derdeklas schijtTV.


PS: En dat ze den amateur die Standard - Beerschot heeft gefloten maar rap terug naar 3e provinciale sturen.

Jawel, we hebben een winnaar...

De Samsung PC Suite, U weet wel, die fantastische software om je telefoon te synchroniseren met Outlook en gelijken.

Laat ons simpelweg de automatisch synchronisatie gebruiken, unidirectioneel, van de PC naar de telefoon.
Wat gebeurt er nu? Van waar komen al die dubbele contacten in Outlook?
Jawel, Samsung vindt dat hoewel U unidirectioneel selecteert, bidirectioneel nodig lijkt.

OK, de manuele manier dan, via de contact manager, import uit Outlook, ziet er goed uit.
Copy-Paste naar de telefoon, "Some data have been lost" [sic].

Lost? What data? Logfile? Nooit van gehoord.
Even bekijken, hmm, accent letters zijn weg en nota's bij contacten ook gedeeltelijk.
Even manueel opruimen in de contact manager, alle contacts zonder accenten en alle nota's weg...

Copy-Paste, "Some data have been lost" [sic]. F*cking piece of sh*t...

Even verjaardagen importeren dan maar.

Import uit Outlook, importing 166 items...
Hmm, de lijst blijft leeg...
Nog een keer...
Weer, 166 imports, maar geen enkele te bespeuren in de Phone Manager.

Even via omweg dan, export naar CSV en import vanaf CSV.
"Please select valid import".

Oh go fuck yourself Samsung!

THE FLEMISH GOVERNMENT is making a move towards unilateral online independence by demanding its own top level web domain extension.

Kris Peeters, the Prime Minister of Flanders, is apparently miffed at his Vlaanderen having to share the .be domain extension with a bunch of French-speaking Krummen honds.

Contrary to what most people think, .be is not short for beer. Peeters wants to take advantage of a recent ICANN decree allowing a whole host of riff raff to take out top level domains like .london, .frites, and .vandamme.

The whole van de Sarma (lousy) business of getting the Flemish their own separate domain names could cost in the region of €100,000, and could be ready as early as next year. A double-letter extension wouldn't be possible, as Flanders, despite what it may believe, is not an independent state recognised by the United Nations.

With tensions between the rich Flems and the poorer Francophone Belges at an all-time high, Flemish politicians are suggesting domain possibilities like .vla, .vln, .vlaanderen or .fla. Members of the Flemish nationalist N-VA party welcomed the move reckoning it would "make Flanders more visible on the worldwide web". Guys, seriously, no one even notices Belgium, why would they notice Flanders? Komm On!

Still, the move is likely to go ahead, the only real problems being what to do about bilingual French/Flemish Brussels, and the fact that ".fla" is well known file extension for flash.

But we’re sure the Afgelekte vleerenbols will sort something out, godverdomme!

- Check if the file you uploaded actually is used as a default document.
- If you upload PHP files, please let me know, so I can install you some PHP support.
- Please decide who actually was the first in downloading some else's script instead of continuously overwriting each others pages.

So I graduated in 2003, at the depth point of the dot com bubble crash recession as a Network Engineer.
Jobs were spead thin, so when I got a call 4 months later to do some basic IT stuff, that sounded great.

It was a technical support firm for a large European bank. You called in at 8am and they'd tell you where to go.
As I only had the basic internal training, I was only allowed to do printers and workstations.
So most of the days there wasn't anything early in the morning and I had to call back half an hour later, and another half an hour...
Also frequently occuring the last intervention was around 3pm.
During the day you could do some shopping in between interventions which was great, as we're talking about the holidays season.

Of course, beginning of january, there wasn't much shopping left to do and replacing toners and monitors wasn't really a brainteaser, so I decided to apply internally for an open application.
I aced the technical test, best of all applicants and it was located at a single site, close to my home.
But the jobs was given to someone else, with longer experience inside the company.

A few months later, another position opened in one of the main sites of the bank, where we were allowed to do some actual troubleshooting on the machines.
It still was end-user stuff, but it was a great improvement and the team was wonderfull.

About four months later, a new batch of cattle was hired in the firm, so there had to be some moving around, and as I was the highest educated in the building, I got tranfsterred to a "software testing team", actually the highest position in existance in the company (except for a phone support team for the field technicians).

What had to be cutting-edge research turned out to be boring, repetitive pseudo code writing in Excel before being executed with a trial version of a major automation program.
It was actually a jumping board to leave the company. Two of my colleagues left before me, two left right after me.
There was time enough to study, surf, play, do anything you want, except work :-).

I took the chance of changing to the bank itself, in stead of working for the technical subsidiary.
The job interview promised a nice time, a lot of interesting technical problems.

Sadly, none of these hypothetical problems turned out to be ours to handle. We didn't do hardware, nor OS.
It's a big company, so there was no networking (seperate team), as with storage and any other major hardware part.

We did second line support, but as first line was filled with a bunch of nitwits, we did most of the supporting, they made calls in the management system, without noting any necessary information.
It was a broadband support job, end users, back-end applications and some shit called "IBM WebSphere".

Then there were a lot of reorganisations, support teams were split, moved, renamed, changed...
We ended up with the back-end applications and the WebSphere.

The backend applications were nice, but bound to a massive amount of documentation, burocracy and "I didn't do that". The WebSphere still sucked.
Life slowly moved on, without any change even after some clear signs to the supervisors.

After working there for 3 years in total (all previous functions combined) I decided I was done there and had to go look elsewhere if I ever wanted to see a cisco router again.

I applied at a very small company and was promised great technical independance, high-end configurations and total system implementation control in my task as field engineer.
What wasn't included in the jobdescription, is "total system implementation control" is only applicable if I happen to think the same as the CEO. "High end" is read only for me and "independance" means I can do everything I'm told to, on my own.

Turns out most of the customers actually get first line support from us. We mostly get questions about printers and word documents.
We've got our customer A, part of a large international group, we do their PC's there and we get to manage some local servers, within the lines drawn by the group.
Customer B is getting their first server soon and has a lot of end-users.
Customer C calls us to assist in the most repetitive jobs on the planet. Phone support like scripts to follow to deploy some local application on 500 workstations.
Customer D has some nice infrastructure, configured by a third company, we get to do, computers yes indeed, and there a Dutch jackass who asked me last week to fix something he had been fucking up for weeks while he could go get credit by finishing of something I had worked on for several days.
And the list goes on.

There are slow periods, allowing me to do research for several days a week. Sadly, I think I've researched everything I could think of.
And there are days everyong thinks their personally created problem is the end of the world. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to touch computers.

So, I'm wondering, what should I actually do to see some networking?

Do you ever get a piercing pain in your chest, usually on your left side under your rib, which almost feels like a bubble ready to burst?


It causes you to catch your breath, and you try not to breathe in or breathe out too much because it’s extremely painful either way.
You take short, staggered breaths and try not to move. Finally, you work up the courage to take a sharp inhale or exhale.
You feel a sensation similar to a bubble bursting and the pain is gone.

What is this strange sensation that is so painful and uncomfortable?

It is actually a very common condition and most people have experienced it.
The medical term for this occurrence is Precordial Catch Syndrome.


Many people mistakenly believe that they are having a heart attack at the onset of this type of pain.
While the pain is strong and located in an area that would seem like the heart, this condition is not a heart attack, nor is it heart related.

Precordial Catch Syndrome (PCS) is the most common cause of recurring chest pain. It is also sometimes known as “a stitch in the side” or “Texidor’s twinge”.
It occurs most often in children and teenagers, but does persist into adulthood as well.

The pain occurs just under the left nipple, near where you feel the heart beat most strongly on the front of the chest, and comes on very suddenly.

This extremely sharp pain causes a person to not want to move or breathe. This is where the “catch” part of the name is derived.
Any movement or breathing only seems to intensify the pain. The pain usually lasts for around 30 seconds to 1 minute before disappearing.

Sometimes the pain will suddenly disappear upon taking a strong breath or moving suddenly as well. This can almost feel like a pop of an imaginary bubble.
After the pain is gone, there is usually a dull ache that lingers.

These onsets of pain can occur frequently, sometimes several times a day, and can occur when exercising, resting, or when in virtually any other state.

Doctors have not been able to correlate PCS with any particular triggers, such as heavy activity or the like.
However, there are some doctors that believe things like heavy or irregular breathing or even posture could play some type of role in bringing about an episode of PCS.

At this time, doctors and researchers do not know what causes the pain associated with PCS.
The most accepted theory is that the pain is the result of a pinched nerve somewhere.
Due to the fact that the onsets of PCS are so quick and disappear just as quickly, it’s hard for doctors to actually see the condition in action.


While doctors aren’t sure of the actual causes, they are sure that it poses no danger.
They believe it to be a completely benign condition and is most certainly not cause for alarm.
For this reason, there is not a lot of information or studies regarding the physical cause of PCS available.
Doctors feel no need to intensify study of something they know to be only a minor inconvenience.


The only real worry is that sometimes, what seemed like PCS, could possibly turn out to be something more serious.
The following are signs of more concerning illness:


- Chest pain that extends into the left side of the jaw or arm
- Chest pain that a person describes as a “heavy” feeling
- Pain that does not improve at least a little after 24 hours of regular doses of ibuprofen
- Fever
- Cough, especially a cough that produces phlegm ("flem," or “flame")
- Extreme anxiety with the pain or a feeling of “impending doom”
- Blueness or paleness of the lips or fingernails
- An irregular, rapid, or pounding heart rate
- Marked difficulty breathing or catching one’s breath (different from mild pain with breathing)


If any of these occur, please be sure to call your doctor’s office right away. These could be indications of a more serious and potentially threatening condition.

People experiencing PCS need no particular treatment at all.
Usually, just the reassurance that they aren’t having something dangerous happening is all that they need to hear to set their minds at ease.
PCS should not interfere with normal activity, and there’s no reason to use any form of medication.


If you are experiencing PCS, it may be worth a visit to the doctor just to go over the symptoms to be sure that it is not a different condition that could be more serious.
Doctors can easily tell the difference between a serious heart condition and Precordial Catch Syndrome just by talking with the patient, and doing a physical examination.

In the meantime, you can rest assured that your extremely painful, stabbing feeling is completely normal and only a minor inconvenience.
And remember, the key to getting rid of the pain quickly is to just work up the courage to take that deep breath, scream in pain, and be done with it.

Fucking completely normal? Not fucking dangerous?

Try having one while driving, or while carrying your child!

Slechte voorspellingen
De toeristische sector richt zijn pijlen op de weersvoorspellers. Zeker op lange termijn zijn de voorspellingen in juli en augustus niet accuraat, klinkt het. "De Kust heeft een microklimaat met minder wolken, minder regen en meer zon dan in andere regio's in het land. Onnauwkeurige voorspellingen hebben zeker voor de Kust een grote economische impact."


Oftewel, vanaf heden schijnt aan zee enkel nog de zon!

After six years, Todd D. couldn't take the tedium anymore — his company refused to change with the times, and Todd wanted something more engaging. Seeing an opening at a publishing company, it sounded like the ideal change. He'd be going from a big software company to a more progressive publishing company with a software department; a good place for him to show his chops and actually make a difference. He aced his interview, as did the company — they'd proudly told Todd that they were happy to work with cutting-edge technology, had brand-new hardware, and a near-zero turnover rate. It was a no-brainer for him to accept their offer.

As he was about to head in to his first day of work, he got a call from HR. "Hi, Todd? I forgot to mention the dress code earlier. You'll have to wear a jacket and tie." Ugh, he thought, wondering if his suit was in presentable shape. At his last job he'd show up in a t-shirt and shorts. I guess I'll have to go shopping tonight. He dusted off his old suit, found a tie that didn't completely clash, and hopped in his car. If having to wear a suit would be the worst thing about his new job, it wouldn't be so bad.

Arriving to the office, he was escorted to his new cube. His wooden cube. One of the owners' sons liked to work with wood and had been contracted to build several things around the office — all of the cubes, some shelves, some tables — all of which conveyed the feeling that one was working in a coffin with shelves. It sucked, but Todd could deal with it.

Next, he was shown the time tracking application, and introduced to the company's related policies. "OK, so you're just getting in, so you click here to punch in," the well-dressed woman from HR began. "And when you need to punch out, like if you're using the restroom or something, you click here."
"Wait," Todd began. "I'm supposed to punch out when I use the restroom?"
She chuckled, "of course! I mean, unless you plan on getting work done in the restroom! You have to punch out any time you're not working."
"So if I'm making a phone call?"
"You punch out."
"If I'm stopping by the snack machine for a candy bar?" Todd asked in disbelief.
"You punch out." She seemed to think Todd was a slow learner, while Todd just couldn't believe the absurdity of the policy. It was becoming clear that she thought they should both punch out for the discussion they were currently having. Ugh. That's pretty draconian. At least I'm salaried, he thought.
"Also," she continued, "you have to get forty hours of punched-in time each week. Otherwise you get docked or will have to make it up over the weekend."
...But I'm salaried, Todd thought. "And if I work more than 40 hours?" he asked.
"That's good; that's what we want."

She went on to explain what happens if more break time than is allowed is taken. That is, every day you get 30 minutes for lunch, 15 floating minutes for other breaks (bathroom, snack machine, etc.). If you needed more than 45 minutes, you had to get a special dispensation from your boss. In Todd's case, his boss was the owner's son, Quincy — who had never, ever given out a special dispensation. If you were on fire, you'd better finish your shift before you stopped, dropped, and rolled.

Todd was given internet access, but warned that it was closely monitored and that a lot of sites and services were blocked — for example all major free email services, all major news sites, instant messaging clients, etc. Todd later found a program that he could use to bypass the filter and access GMail, however.

As his training was wrapping up, he was asked if he had any questions. "Well, just one," he said, noticing that no one had left office supplies on his desk. "Where can I get a pen?"
"Oh, we'll have to get you one tomorrow."
This'll be good, Todd thought.
"Janice has the key to the supply cabinet, and she's only in once a week." Janice was the boss's wife. "She'll be in from 11:00 to noon tomorrow. I'll show you where the line starts."
He'd have to wait in line for the one hour window to get any office supplies. And if you missed the window, you didn't get any supplies — you should've planned better, slacker. Either wait until next week or buy it. After work. At your own expense. And to put the icing on the cake, you had to punch out while you were waiting in line.

After two weeks in his coffinlike cube, Todd and the other developers were summoned to the warehouse. As a publishing company, they had a lot of "magazine junk" that they sold — t-shirts, logo'd stuffed animals, hats, and other similar tchotchkies — and they were practically swimming in the crap.

"The reason I called you all down here is that we need to take inventory of all our promo items," his boss began.
"So why'd you bring all the developers down here?" Todd asked what everyone was thinking.
"The warehouse staff is busy fulfilling orders. Fulfilling orders makes us money; fixing bugs in our software doesn't. I'm going to need you guys to count and sort everything." Todd rolled his eyes, knowing that most of the warehouse staff were friends with the boss's sons and had probably leveraged that to get out of inventory duty.
Todd knew that protesting this would get him nowhere, as they already had a crappy work environment with crappy management. "Can we at least wear something more comfortable while we work?"
"...I didn't say anything about our dress code changing," the boss replied with a sinister smile.

All of the developers had their changes put on hold and started going through dirty, grimy boxes under the boss's unblinking eye. Todd's suit got covered in dust, cardboard fibers, and bits of tape, not to mention that everyone was getting sweaty in the hot warehouse in suits and ties, climbing up 20 feet of shelves (that had been cobbled together by the owner's son), carrying 50lb boxes of stupid crap that no one could ever want. Todd figured that his boss had a printout of OSHA regulations and had made it his goal to break every single one. By the end of the day, everyone's clothes were ruined (as were their spirits).
Todd was so fed up and pissed off that he decided he'd treat himself to the unthinkable — leaving three minutes early. He figured that he'd earned one hundred and eighty seconds of malfeasance, plus he couldn't take another minute of being sweaty and miserable in his coffin cubicle. All that he had on his mind was his frustration, and the desire to treat himself to a good dinner, a long shower, and an early bedtime.

The following day, Todd was called into his boss's office.
"Todd, do you know why you're in here?" Before he could answer, his boss continued. "You're in here because you left three minutes early yesterday. Why don't you walk me through what you were thinking."
Again, before he could answer, his boss answered for him. "I know what you weren't thinking. You weren't thinking 'I should ask for my boss's permission to leave early. I think I should be allowed to leave whenever I please.'" The voice he was giving to Todd's internal monologue had a nasally, sing-song tone.
"And," he continued, "you were also thinking, 'I shouldn't have to do any work. I should be allowed to use the internet whenever I want, however I want.' Yeah, we know you're looking at blocked web sites." He leaned forward in his chair. "Listen, Todd. You've got a bad attitude. It's almost like you don't like working here." That was the first thing he'd gotten right so far.

At this point, Todd decided to end the relationship by formally giving his two minutes' notice. On his way out, he suggested his boss do something anatomically impossible.

Subject: Windows Usability Systematic degradation flame


I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don't drive usability issues.

Let me give you my experience from yesterday.

I decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack ... so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there.

The first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up.

This site is so slow it is unusable.

It wasn't in the top 5 so I expanded the other 45.

These 45 names are totally confusing. These names make stuff like: C:Documents and SettingsbillgMy DocumentsMy Pictures seem clear.

They are not filtered by the system ... and so many of the things are strange.

I tried scoping to Media stuff. Still no moviemaker. I typed in movie. Nothing. I typed in movie maker. Nothing.

So I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying - where is this Moviemaker download? Does it exist?

So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated.

They told me to go to the main page search button and type movie maker (not moviemaker!).

I tried that. The site was pathetically slow but after 6 seconds of waiting up it came.

I thought for sure now I would see a button to just go do the download.

In fact it is more like a puzzle that you get to solve. It told me to go to Windows Update and do a bunch of incantations.

This struck me as completely odd. Why should I have to go somewhere else and do a scan to download moviemaker?

So I went to Windows update. Windows Update decides I need to download a bunch of controls. (Not) just once but multiple times where I get to see weird dialog boxes.

Doesn't Windows update know some key to talk to Windows?

Then I did the scan. This took quite some time and I was told it was critical for me to download 17megs of stuff.

This is after I was told we were doing delta patches to things but instead just to get 6 things that are labeled in the SCARIEST possible way I had to download 17meg.

So I did the download. That part was fast. Then it wanted to do an install. This took 6 minutes and the machine was so slow I couldn't use it for anything else during this time.

What the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy. This is after the download was finished.

Then it told me to reboot my machine. Why should I do that? I reboot every night -- why should I reboot at that time?

So I did the reboot because it INSISTED on it. Of course that meant completely getting rid of all my Outlook state.

So I got back up and running and went to Windows Update again. I forgot why I was in Windows Update at all since all I wanted was to get Moviemaker.

So I went back to Microsoft.com and looked at the instructions. I have to click on a folder called WindowsXP. Why should I do that? Windows Update knows I am on Windows XP.

What does it mean to have to click on that folder? So I get a bunch of confusing stuff but sure enough one of them is Moviemaker.

So I do the download. The download is fast but the Install takes many minutes. Amazing how slow this thing is.

At some point I get told I need to go get Windows Media Series 9 to download.

So I decide I will go do that. This time I get dialogs saying things like "Open" or "Save". No guidance in the instructions which to do. I have no clue which to do.

The download is fast and the install takes 7 minutes for this thing.

So now I think I am going to have Moviemaker. I go to my add/remove programs place to make sure it is there.

It is not there.

What is there? The following garbage is there. Microsoft Autoupdate Exclusive test package, Microsoft Autoupdate Reboot test package, Microsoft Autoupdate testpackage1. Microsoft AUtoupdate testpackage2, Microsoft Autoupdate Test package3.

Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.

But that is just the start of the crap. Later I have listed things like Windows XP Hotfix see Q329048 for more information. What is Q329048? Why are these series of patches listed here? Some of the patches just things like Q810655 instead of saying see Q329048 for more information.

What an absolute mess.

Moviemaker is just not there at all.

So I give up on Moviemaker and decide to download the Digital Plus Package.

I get told I need to go enter a bunch of information about myself.

I enter it all in and because it decides I have mistyped something I have to try again. Of course it has cleared out most of what I typed.

I try (typing) the right stuff in 5 times and it just keeps clearing things out for me to type them in again.

So after more than an hour of craziness and making my programs list garbage and being scared and seeing that Microsoft.com is a terrible website I haven't run Moviemaker and I haven't got the plus package.

The lack of attention to usability represented by these experiences blows my mind. I thought we had reached a low with Windows Network places or the messages I get when I try to use 802.11. (don't you just love that root certificate message?)

When I really get to use the stuff I am sure I will have more feedback.

Den eerst volgende die nu nog komt zeggen dat den eerste Nederlandse goal moest afgekeurd worden:

FUCK OFF en leert uw voetbalreglement.

Quote uit FIFA reglement:

11.11 - under advice to referees. "A defender who leaves the field during the course of play and does not immediately return must still be considered in determining where the second to last defender is for the purpose of judging which attackers are in an offside position", "Such a defender is considered to be on the touch line or goal line closest to his or her off-field position.


Oftewel, Panucci die daar wat zielig lag te liggen omdat hem tegen zijnen eigen keeper was gelopen telt nog altijd mee. Aangezien hij twee meter achter de doellijn ligt, wordt het ZEER moeilijk om nog offside te staan op het veld!

So you've made the mistake to install WHS, Windows Home Server :-)

And now you want to use your normal administrator password and the f*cking system won't let you.
So, you're lazy and have 15 systems with the same password because you don't want to remember a new password for every computer you have.

You've tried changing the password using control-alt-delete, but that doesn't work, apparently your password doens't meet the 0 days old, 0 length, 0 complexity requirements :-D

You've tried using the MSC control, but that doesn't work either.

You've tried lowering the complexity requirements in the WHS control center, but apparently those do not apply to the administrator password.

So you're about to give up, when you found this site :-)

Well, the trick is simple, the fixed complexity rules apply not to the account called "administrator", but to the built-in administrator UID.

So, you simply openup the compmgmt.msc and rename the administrator account to anything you like and the you create a new account, called "administrator", add it the "administrators" group and you're done!

Log off and on again, and use your nice standard password for all your connections ;-)

Alle hup,

mijn foto archief staat online (lokaal, misschien laten extern).

Nu heb ik meteen een mooi overzicht van de voorbije jaren.

Het beste jaar van 2004 met 85 apart vermelde reportages.
Op de tweede plaats volgt 2006 met 82 reeksen, ofwel 96%.
Derde plaats voor 2005 met 80 reeksen, 94%.

En zoals verwacht volgt 2007 als slechtste jaar met slechts 58 entries, ofwel maar 68%.
Te verwachten met zoveel weggevallen "vaste" reportages...

2008 doet het op dit moment nog beter met omgerekend 26 reeksen aan het huidige tempo tegen nieuwjaar, een fantastische 30%...

Strange thing is, google for any of these errors, and all results you get point to Saliar related sites.

At first, there were netsend like messages, asking you to install the software. Then there came direct pop-unders. Then you got these fake error message. And now, we
get balloons in the systray.

Oh my, isn't that the same name I read checking out the source of the downloaded executable? Yes it is! And indeed, the address and phone number is also the same.

Must be a very trustworthy software, that SaliarAR thing, and it's advertised on all major download sites...

Jawel, de VRT heeft vandaag weer eens 25.000€ door het raam gesmeten aan riool-journalistiek de naam niet waardig.

Interviews met gepensioneerden die naar opnames van VRT programma's gaan kijken en Felissie [sic] ontmoeten. Gevolgd door een enquete naar het "Europees gevoel" voor zover dat bestaat; vraag van de dag "Wat is uw favoriete film". Wereldschokkend nieuws, inderdaad. Daarna komt natuurlijk de achtervolgende reporter, met vandaag een psychologisch geval, geobsedeerd door ontlasting.

Enkele quotes:

"Als ik nu een stukje fruit eet, dan is dat al verteerd voor dat in mijn maag komt."

"Als ik eerst een boterham eet en daarna een stuk fruit, dan zit dat fruit opgesloten in mijn maag, da wilt erdoor, maar die boterham zit in de weg. Als dat dan uiteindelijk een dag later in mijn darmen komt, dan is dat al helemaal rot."

Enkele fantastische reclame filmpjes die op dit moment het televisiescherm onveilig maken en 0/10 verdienen:


De nieuwe Peugeot 308. Auto rijdt door zandstorm, door water en blijkt in windtunnel te staan.
Verklaring: deze auto in rommel, zelfs als U geparkeerd staat, lijkt U 4x4 terrein aan het verkennen te zijn. Voor deze prijs kunnen we U echt geen deftige ophanging geven.

H&M. Meisje loopt door de stad met af en toe een prijs naast haar hoofd.
Verklaring: voor deze WIBRA prijzen kan U echt geen mooie en goeie kleding verwachten.


Becel. Man en vrouw met hartleeftijd die afwijkt van hun echte leeftijd.
Verklaring: Wel, ik snap hem niet. Je had even goed een close-up van een koeiestont kunnen gebruiken voor dit clipje.


Daktarin. Omvallend tekenfilmfiguurtje.
Verklaring: Koop gerust de goedkoopste rommelschoenen die U kan vinden en ga niet in bad. Deze spray maakt de verzamelde schimmel wel kapot.


Danio Delight. Durf te dromen...
Verklaring: ... dat wij zo snel mogelijk failliet gaan en deze zever niet meer kunnen uitzenden.


1207. Man belt aan en krijgt een norse "Nee ik ken" in zijn gezicht.
Verklaring: Bel zo snel mogelijk onze telefonistes, dit is de reactie die U zal krijgen.


KBC. Man kruipt rond als hond.
Verklaring: Laat U vandaag nog opnemen in onze mentale instelling. Dacht U echt dat wij een bank waren met deze belachelijke reclames die wij telkens bedenken voor onze campagnes?


Mr. Propre Home Therapy.
Verklaring: Vergeet het vermoeiende luchten van Uw huis, met onze chemische rommel verbergt U alle geurtjes!


Fibreze.
Zie M. Propre, alleen deze is ook kankerverwekkend.


Hittebeschermende volumemousse.
Verklaring: product speciaal voor arbeiders in hoogovens.


Fagotin.
Verklaring: niet nodig, meest irritante reclame van 2007.


Vergeet U verder ook zeker niet te ergeren aan de irritante stem van de "medisch afgevaardigde" van Sensodine, de immer irritante reclames voor parfums (ik begrijp ze echt niet), de kwaliteitsvolle muziek op de verzamelalbums "Explosive Car Tuning volume 762" en Ambi Jump" en al die opgeblazen gevoelen (wist U dat al 80% van de Vlamingen spijsverteringsprobleempjes hebben??).

Dat klinkt natuurlijk niet zo erg als 17.000...

Hoe grof het ook mag klinken, ziektes hebben een reden, niet iedere mens moet overleven.
Laat ons geld geven om die kinderen te redden, dat betekent dat er volgend jaar 105.120 hongerige Afrikaantjes meer zijn.
Die moeten we ook allemaal eten geven...

Activia, Actimel en andere rommel. Reden: de grootste bullshit sinds koeiestrond zelf.
Spa. Reden: promotie maken voor niet herbruikbare verpakkingen.

Niet dat ik het ooit zou gebruiken, maar Glomobie, waauw, vet coole jumps. Wordt de beste jumper! ROFL.

Wel goeie reclame op dit moment: Seat met de knuffels.

Fantastisch hoe je een reeks met potentieel zo naar de kloten kan helpen door de hoofdrol te laten spelen door een trut met het acteertalent van een doos waspoeder en de charme van een koeiedrol.

Heeft U ook zo'n brief gekregen voor het extra bedrag dat betaald zal moeten moeten worden om de "extra opties" te blijven gebruiken?
Het op pauze zetten van uw TV? De opname functies?

Mooi toch dat U extra moet betalen om functies te gebruiken die al in uw digibox aanwezig zijn en waarvoor u al betaald heeft, of huur betaald?
Denk maar niet dat Belgacom er iets moet voor doen!

Nog beter is dat ik vandaag heb ontdekt dat niet alle zenders in dezelfde kawliteit uitgezonden worden. De meest courante kanalen worden gestreamed aan 4 Mbit/sec. De minder courante zijn echter gecodeerd aan 3 Mbit/sec (Frankrijk, National Geographic, Dicovery Channels...). 

Waarschijnlijk zijn de klanten van Belgacom in het algemeen toch weer te dom om hiernaar te kijken.
Het doelpubliek is vast en zeker vaste kijker van MTV en TMF...

Hopelijk komt er snel Telenet in de straat, dan gaat de kloterommel van Belgacom er onmiddellijk uit!

Zou er iemand eens de moeite kunnen nemen ook aan de grensrechters van het Belgische voetbal het principe van buitenspel uit te leggen?

Jaja, wat was het weer een zielige avond voor één.

Niet is alleen de enige kandidaat in Junior Eurosong die echt kon zingen uitgeschakeld ten voordele van een of andere dialect act met wat geroep en minder muzikale inhoud dan het mobieltje van Illia, ook heeft de dirigent van Skala laten blijken dat hij nog minder van muziek weet dan het bovenste knopje van het hemd van Ben Crabbé.

En dat nadat bleek dat het bestuur van één denkt dat de mensen die naar hun zender kijken echt wel idioten zijn. Of was het U nog niet opgevallen dat er opvallende gelijkenissen waren tussen Man Bijt Hond van gisteren en vandaag?

"This is a remanufactured product some (sic) of the components may have been replaced and/or repaired. This Product meets Iomega's quality Assurance standards."

Of om in't kort samen te vatten: 't is kapotten brol van een ander waar ne getrainden aap ne keer naar heeft gekeken.

Pech Iomega (eigenlijk pech voor mezelf), want het ding werkt even goed als het kapotte ding dat het eigenlijk moest vervangen...

[ 265.000 hits op Google voor "Iomega sucks" en nog eens meer dan 7.000 in de newsgroups ]

De Fuck you van de week:

Voor de eikel op zijn koersfiets die denkt dat hij in het midden van de straat mag rijden omdat er wat kiezelsteentjes op het fietspad liggen.
