Geen extra vragen over de gadget, maar laat in een blogpost ook eens weten of je nà bezoek van Belga Queen zo lovend bent. Wreed, in een zelfde zin met Belga Queen... dan zou ik eerder iets verwachten in de trant van "wreed voor de portemonnee", , maar toch niet "wreed goed".

C'est un peu tard pour cela, non? Phoenix has landed and has sent the first pictures...

Re: Les réseaux sociaux plus populaires que le porno !

Mike — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:54:18 -0000

Cela dépend comment on mesure... quand on y pense, on a vite 30minutes de porno sans beaucoup de requêtes, non? Le montant de requêtes qu'il faut par jour pour "faire du social web" à la Facebook/Netlog va vite surpasser ça.

J'ai eu exactement le même problème il y a deux semaines. J'ai pas eu le temps d'aller chercher mon appareil. J'ai pris les clés de la voiture da ma copine qui était à l'étranger...

Re: Google and “desktop Linux”… AGAIN!!!

Mike — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 06:31:37 -0000

It's the same general genre, but in "The Butterfly Effect", he's changing the past by going back with knowledge of the future.
Here, the main character goes into the future, brings back information to change somebody else's future (not even sure if he changes a lot to his own future).

Re: Google and “desktop Linux”… might it be true ?

Mike — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 16:25:05 -0000

I changed the settings. You can now post one comment per minute. The default setting was 10, supposing that people actually think before writing... ;-)
Now you can add comments without thinking!

And yet another account in the vast list... if other blogs do it with captchas, cookies and so forth.
I loathe registering for responding to blogs...

And it's not like Paul gets something like 40 comments per entry, is it?

Please enlighten me ;-)

Wanted to, but have no direct way to contact him... I'll get a blogger account, one more amongst many accounts!
But this one really isn't useful, just to be able to comment on one blog! But I'll do it, just to tell him off ;-)

Re: Russian dolls

Just after having created my blogger account, Paul re-opens the comments for non Blogger accounts...
I won't tell him off... he's just too good a person. And the trainter of old teammate Luc. And Luc seems to be doing great!

Eating extremely high calories is indeed very addictive. It's a bit like heroin, alcohol and other drugs... It makes you temporarily happy, and you need more of it to maintain that happiness. Keep eating your sugars, you will be very happy... and probably die of a cardiac disease. But it's always good to know you were at least a happy diseased person ;-)
Best of luck with your ignorance

I *did* ask the better half about this. Obviously her English isn't what it used to be anymore. Anyway, I just got an answer from the writer... point taken and I'll adapt.

Re: Scrobbling bug…

Mike — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 05:13:35 -0000

I had a look at the "hidden options", one of these options is to prevent the queuing of songs as long as the iPod is connected.
The reason for that is, that it sometimes takes ages to submit all played songs on an iPod, and if you play songs in the mean time, the "not yet submitted" songs from the iPod will be refused by last.fm
last.fm refuses submissions of (e.g.) yesterday if you have already submitted a song for today...

Re: Can we use one of your photos?

Mike — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:40:45 -0000

@frans

schmap is a free service... i have less problems with them and have already submitted a picture there. In this case, they are making money with one of my illustrations, nonetheless they cannot pay for it.
I'm getting the impression that they are looking for a way to increase their margin in a dodgy way. I feel inclined to say no.

Re: Filezilla 3.9.0.1 on Tiger

Mike — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:15:20 -0000

I seem surprised as it was especially compiled for Tiger on a Tiger machine. It does depend on some libs (wx-Mac, gnutls), and I had to compile those libs, but they are hard-linked into Filezilla, so you shouldn't have any issues.
Could you open up a terminal and do the following:


cd /Applications/FileZilla.app/Contents/MacOS/
./filezilla

What output do you get?

Re: Filezilla 3.9.0.1 on Tiger

Mike — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:37:11 -0000

I buggered up, and am asking for help on compiling. I managed to test on my machine with removing the libgnutls and got into trouble.
I have already re-compiled without any success. I'll keep you posted.

Temporary option might be to make a link for whereever you installed the libgnutls /opt/local to /usr/local (lib and bin directories?).

Re: Can we use one of your photos?

Mike — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:22:48 -0000

Hi,

I don't think this fits in the license I use. Unless you can show me that you are a non-profit organisation, using this for a good cause, I'm afraid I cannot let you use this picture.
There are many good photographers out there who make a living out of photography. With these practices, you are leaving these people unemployed in order to grow your margins.
People should get paid for a good job done. If your job is to find content without rewarding the content providers, remember that one day it might be your job the publishers are after.

Thanks for asking anyway my permission anyway, some people don't even bother.

Regards,

Mike Reys

Re: Selling BSS Speakers

Mike — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:42:18 -0000

Nonetheless, they are damn good speakers. I didn't have internet connection back then as I had just moved... didn't buy from guys in a white van. These speakers have done a great job at parties & all! I'm really surprised now to hear that it was a scam as I always had the impression that they were worth the money (especially as I got a good reduction...)
I did get a discount at the shop I bought them from... and nothing like the 400€ people bought them for from the men in the white van. They do look like the scam speakers though. Maybe the guy in the shop had been scammed and wanted (part of) his money back.

Now that I know this, I'll bring them to the tip 2moro ;-)

Re: Belgian Olympic medals

Mike — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:04:22 -0000

Two medals, a fourth place in football, a fourth place in rowing, a fifth place in judo, a fourth place in cycling, one more fifth place in athletics...
And then there are still a couple of sporters (sailing!) with realistic chances of winning a medal who have let us down a bit.
Bill:
So I was a bit optimistic, indeed. But was it possible? I guess so. The guy in Judo got "stolen" a medal when an overenthusiastic judge overruled the corner judge (who has a better view and is therefore never overruled...), a bit like your tae-kwondo boy who got stolen from a medal (ànd that girl who only had ten minutes). So that would have been a third medal already. And fourth place don't give us a medal, but are close enough to make me believe that on another day it might have been possible.

For the rest, I can agree with you on most of the points you make. I have represented Belgium in swimming when I was a lot younger, and I know what you mean when you say that there's no sports mentality here.
One little remark though, the people who do take sport serious, are vèry serious. Something you hardly find in football, unfortunately. And the little football talent we have in this sport is mostly developed in other countries...
I am looking forward to the London games for both team GB (my partner is Brit) and team Belgium, as I hope to be living in London by then.

Re: If Only Being Green Were Easier

Mike — Wed, 21 May 2008 03:07:58 -0000

To be fair: nothing consciously. But I'm doing anything to get my electricity bills and fuel bills down. I guess it'll all come down to the same thing.
And I have never in my life thrown junk on the street!

Guess I don't really need a climate hype in order to act in a green way ;-)

Re: How Every Flickr Photo Ended Up on Sale This Weekend

This reminds me of http://www.monuments.nu/2008/06/gva_bvl_the_seq...
Belgian newspapers were showing flickr pictures tagged with the name of a city on the webpage with news about that city, not taking into account the copyright restrictions.
