Dear Apple,
As I heard the news about the death of Steve Jobs this morning I shed a few tears. At that moment I was unable to explain to myself why I felt so sad, since I never met the man. But as I write this message I’m figuring it out.
When I [...]
A while ago my friend Wouter posted something about the Humble Bundle (part 3). For those who don’t like clicking links: the Humble Bundle is a bundle of games you can play, and you can define your own price for them. So if you feel like the amount of games you get are worth [...]
Nothing to see here: this is a post for my own reference.
I’ve been trying to rid my irssi of the script nickcolor.pl for literally years now. It’s a handy script in theory, but very often it’ll display nicks with equal length in the same colour, or it’ll display a lot of (non-bold) [...]
I’ve never bought a console for one particular game. There were always several reasons for me to buy them. Until now.
Long ago, in 1998, I owned a Nintendo 64. At that point I was a geek at my school newspaper (we worked with Macs ^_^), and my friend the editor had this game [...]
As the title probably suggests, I’m about to tell you a disaster story. When I just moved into my new place I had grand plans concerning the technology I wanted in my home. I’m a big fan of watching TV series, so I needed some system through which I could just stream all downloaded [...]
Sometimes, in between slowly forgetting the finer Linux commands, working a lot and no longer tinkering that much with stuff anymore, I find myself wondering: am I still a geek? You see, I take pride in that part of me that likes to figure out how stuff works. Also it’s a lot of fun [...]
Following a gajillion discussions on IRC over a long time, I started thinking about my history with mobile phones. This led to me googling for about 2 hours straight, because I couldn’t find my first phone ever. Until I did! It was the KPN Pocketline Wave 200, but almost none were sold in the [...]
Darth Vader
I really liked how Sam & Max turned out in cubeecraft, so when I noticed this one I just had to make it too. Darth Vader, including helmet and light sabre!
cthulhu dice bag
I finished this quite a while ago but I thought I’d still post it here: my cute knitted dice bag. Thanks to Faragon I was able to start right away, since she gave me wool and the pattern for it. I think I knitted the pattern a bit tight but [...]
The other day I was clicking around on the interwebs, and found cubeecraft.com. You can download a pattern for a cubic version of your favourite character, print it out (on thicker paper), cut all the lines and then put it together, no glue or tape required. Yesterday I decided to try it out with [...]
