Journal Journal: Cheap DVD

There I was, cleaning up my HD because I wanted to 'evaluate' a torrent of Buckaroo Banzai, when I decided whether it was for sale an lo and behold: EUR 6.99 for the DVD, including free P&P. Why bother the download then? Now I only have to convince the she-boss that it's a bargain, and then I'm a happy bunny :) I wish they did that for more movies from a certain age, I would do things way more legally.

Journal Journal: Hidden comments 2

I always browse at -1, that's what I do and I'm fast scroller enough to skip through the copypasta of for instance the GNAA. Since a couple of weeks though I notice abou 10 in 350 comments are hidden (on average) and there is no way I can un-hide them. Any suggestions or explanation?

Journal Journal: career move 2

Having worked in a school as a servicedesk-employee, after the holidays I'll start a job as teacher in MediaTechnology to 17+-yr olds. Already for the last 3 months I've filled a position there, to add a 'tech' odour to the classes, and it appears they appreciate it. Oh well. And the G3 had been replaced by a G4 1gHz, so that problem has been solved. Still not installed Ubuntu though. BSD is very likeable too, pretty live-cd's..

Journal Journal: iPhone?

http://www.pdafrance.com/news/2006-09-12/id7496/iPhone-ou-Macphone-sur-20minutes-ce-matin/ shows a picture of an iPhone. Now there are some things that are a bit... weird:
- the name on the back, should not be necessary
- the red an the green button: too generic, not quite apple-like
- headphones? No option to hold the thing against your ear? Bluetooth headset? Dunno...
- memory-slot on the side: looks a bit smallish

Resuming: nice try, but too ipoddish. By the way: do I read '20GB' on the lower back?

Journal Journal: Haute cuisine 6

Simpel question: what ingredients belong in an Irish stew? Not a quiz, just want to know how to make an original stew that would be recognised as such by an Irishman. Can't find convincing stuff on this subject on the internot.

Journal Journal: achtung

When children of young age don't drink at least two pints of liquid a day, within 2 days they might end up in a hospital with nose-probe and IV.

After 2 days the child may die, or be lucky.

Journal Journal: again: no googling!! 3

Two this time: yes weekend started early for me :-) No multiple choice, and 'Celine Dion' is none of the answers.
1)Remember 'The Doors'? Where does the name come from?
2)The United States of America: where does the 'America'-bit come from?

Nothing to lose, nothing to win, just some satisfaction.

Journal Journal: never mind the buzcocks! 5

guess without googling:

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.

I close my eyes, and think of home,
Another city goes by, in the night,
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.

Chorus:
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.

Chorus:
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.
