I saw a Brittish documentary on "The Rules" -- the bestseller on "how to capture the heart of Mr. Right". Written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, the book declares rules, commandments really, on how to date. The authors stressed that the Rules must be followed to full extent, they're...

It's too easy to use MS SQL Server 2000. It's so easy to install it, use it and superficially administer it that people get the crazy idea that a knowledgeable systems administrator is unnecessary.

So, for the first time, Bush decides to present some evidence for his allegations against Iraq. Like world+dog knows by now, Bush claims Iraq has a nuclear weapons programme. Now though, he's finally presented proof for his allegations. Well, "proof" is stretching it a bit. The "proof" was documents saying...

I've just finished reading J.D Salinger's definitive masterpiece "Catcher In The Rye". There are plenty of "definitive masterpieces" out there and I really had no idea what the book was about. I figured since so many serial killers have read it it's gotta be a good read, right?

I have a pretty weird obsession. I didn't even realize it as such until my dear girlfriend brought it to my attention, it comes very natural to me; I loathe carrying around stuff I'm not currently using. I can bring myself to drag it around if the item in question...

Wohoo, I got a new mobile phone. It's a Nokia 6610 and I'm as ecstatic as geeks are known to be over new gadgets. Not that I'm a geek, nooo sir, uh-uh. It's the best mobile phone in the world. It really is. I'm rubber, you are glue, whatever you...

I don't fully understand Mark Pilgrim's somewhat weird reaction to the (mistakenly) removed <cite> tag in the XHTML2 draft. I can understand that he'd get upset, and maybe that he'd lose faith in w3. But reverting to HTML 4.01? I mean, uh, why not stick with XHTML 1.0 or 1.1?...

As of late, I've turned my interest to webdesign. I didn't do it manually, it just drifted there, via xhtml, markup and standards. Right now what particularly annoys me is the awe with which aspiring webdesigners tend to perceive their idols. Those idols being numerous webdesigners who seem to think...

Hi, I'm Steve Jobs. Welcome everybody, to the San Francisco Macworld 2003 Keynote. Boy, do we have some cool stuff to show you todaaaay.. But first, let me just repeat everything I said last year. There's super-cool iTools, and, there's the Switch ads, and, all the other stuff I told...

I spend a negligent amount of time in forums, much less then what I used to, which was a great deal. These days I mostly read forums regarding webdesign and client-side markup-languages, for no other reason than they're more entertaining than the server-side ones. That might come to change though,...

In an MSNBC article today, Iraq criticises the UN Security Council, saying that it's predominated by the US. This in light of a newly passed UN resolution putting new limits on purchases of communication equipment and antibiotics which, according to the US, can be used by the Iraqi military in...

I hereby express my institutional wishes for you all to have a happy new year, this and that, whatever and what not. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, Happy Holiday, Have A Lovely Summer, and A Long and Prosperous Life. I've always had a difficult time trying to sound sincere in doing...
