2004-07-07 : New DVDs

Got a batch of DVDs last weak and updated the list with new titles. Also made the most titles be a link to IMDB or it's official site.

2004-06-15 : Small update

I added some small niftynesses to my Mouse Over Highlight-script. Feel free to steal it as long as you leave the copyright notice untouched.

2004-06-02 : Gentoo Linux

I evaluated all tree major BSDs and would have gone with FreeBSD if it wasn't for me being so used to Linux and that I couldn't get it to run fully on my hardware. So I chose what seemed to be the closest Linux distro, Gentoo Linux. I maybe give FreeBSD another round some time in the future. When I separate my firewall (modem-ppp-internet) and server (file and web) from other stuff like jukebox I will probably go with OpenBSD for the firewall. pf seems really nice. If all this seems to be excuses they are. I would really like to have most of the functionality I have on my Linux workstation but with a BSD. If I get filthy rich I might go for a Mac (as well). I now run XFree86 4.3.0 I will look into X.org someday if it supports nVidias drivers and my Wacom table GNOME 2.6 I really recommend an upgrade. It looks a little better, has nicer features. I run the SmoothGNOME theme (except for the icons). Be sure to apply this patch to gtk-smooth-engine 0.5.6 if you use GTK 2.4 or later Kernel 2.4.25 + Gentoo patches I tried to get 2.6.4, 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 to run but X hung a lot and I couldn't find what was causing it so I gave up and reverted to 2.4 (and installed ALSA). ... and more.

2004-01-20 : FreeBSD

I've started trying FreeBSD. It seems nice and is less hyped than Linux. Also I know my way around Linux, FreeBSD is a new challenge. If all of my hardware is supported odds are that I depenguinize (manually by reinstalling it) my Linux boxen. I run Red Hat Linux 9 on it now and after looking around for another distro trying Debian, Gentoo and Mandrake Linux, Gentoo was the one I liked the most. After learning that it used some concepts of BSD I gave the three free BSDs a go. FreeBSD was the one I found to my liking so I am now giving 5.2 a beating. I hope it goes well because I'd much more like running FreeBSD than some dead hat distro.

2004-01-15 : New camera

It has finally arrived, my long awaited Canon EOS-300D (Kiss Digital / Digital Rebel). I am very pleased with it. The drawback is that the images take up more space on disk, but that's something I can live with.

2003-12-15 : Gargol is back

The mad saw man sited on the speakers page is now back with some ultra crazy poses. See the Gargol page.

2003-12-02 : December

As christmas moves closer I thought I update the look to more reflect the season.

2003-08-07 : GFXIndex

I have resumed coding gfxindex. As I teared down much functionality when I started rewriting it it still isn't much to look at. For more info about it's progress check the GFXIndex page.

2003-07-23 : We got hacked

Some misserable soul hacked our server this night. Good thing that we have backups and a new server =). A bofh shouldn't be cought with his pants down (other than when absolutly necessary).

2003-03-20 : New code to download

I have created a small app that I have filling my TV. It's here with screenshot and all. It's called Boost's Entertainment System.
