Nederlants

Monday, January 30th, 2006

While walking to work this morning, I’ve found this stuck in one of the courtyards of the univerisity… I hope it’s just racism against insects populating that ground. Bah.
Comments anyone?

translation: here only dutch-ants, or here only dutch (mispelled).

Back in Zime

Monday, January 30th, 2006

While cleaning up some old folders in my computer, I found out an old picture of myself I mean, an old picture I made with a scanner, a bit of photoshop and a copy of Time magazine issued in the year 2000, to celebrate the beginning of a new century.
Well, I […]

Witch Hunting

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Witch hunting in LA, but the communist ones, those who eat the childrens.
An ex-student association in UCLA, the Bruin Alumni, pays 100$ to the classroom that will denounce radical or excessive liberal profs which are making of their hours of lesson a propagandistic/mind forging/off-topic proselytism instrument.
It sounds like an encouragement to democracy and free thinking. […]

LinkoRama - part two

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Second appointment with a review of some interesting links you can find right on the right (ehm) of this post, in the sidebar of Albazilla, under elsewhere.
This time I want to talk about Cafebabel.com. As they describe themselves, Cafebabel is the first multilingual European current affairs magazine, designed for readers across borders…

Albazilla everywhere

Monday, January 16th, 2006

This is one of the most comfortable features of Albazilla’s blog, yet one of the less used…
In practice, it allows you to post from wherever you are around the world, just by sending an email to blog at albazilla dot com.
The subject of the mail will became the title of the post, and your […]

Under Albazilla’s hood

Friday, January 13th, 2006

Major update for Albazilla’s blog engine: Wordpress. The new features are mainly ‘under the hood’, and I invite all the authors contributing here to give it a try… Some minor issues on the embedded gallery (if you switch between summary or detail view and you get a white page, just reload…) will be solved, hopefully, […]

Have blog or be no one

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

Once, you could have said the same for a domain, www.memyselfandI.com… you wouldn’t dare to be left out. I admit, I have one, with the attached email address, that looks so cool but that nobody manages to remember, since everybody’s used to @hotmail, @gmail, @yahoo…
But now things are different. After the dotcom era, here it […]

One More Thing…

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

…so to say, I almost forgot… these are the words everyone was expecting yesterday at SF’s MacWorld. And Steve Jobs, Apple CEO did it.
The Intel processors are reality, dual-cores under the hood of the iMac and the MacBook Pro (any better name??).
After the fireworks, what’s your opinion about it? I think, and I’m not alone, […]

Albazilla’s Link Overview - one

Monday, January 9th, 2006

I don’t really know the average user of Albazilla… I mean, one of them is sitting close to me at work, but still, I don’t really know in which way he takes advantage of this site. He’s browsing the forums, participating in the wiki, enjoying the pictures… but what about all the little add-ons spread […]

the late Kerst dinner

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

I just came back from the late Kerst dinner generously offered by the Faculty’s dean to all its staff members…
Of course, this is just a way to make us go to the entrance hall and listen to him giving his new year’s speech…
But as a good buitenlander, I stand there, clap when they clap and […]
