This evening on Kennedy Road I drove behind a Van with several camera’s behind and on his side. As I drove further, I noticed a “Tele Atlas Road Survey” sign on the side. Apparently, it’s one of those cars they talk about here. Must be pretty cool gear. I wonder what Belgian privacy laws say […]
Digg.com: take the slashdot concept, pour a web 2.0 sauce over it and elaborate the community concept. Nice. As if my RSS feeds ain’t bulky enough already.
Bill Thompson: my opposition to DRM is not an opposition to copyright, or a claim that copyright is dead. But current attempts to use technology to enforce restrictions on use, restrictions that often go beyond those copyright law would demand, are unacceptable. The music, movie and publishing industries do not deserve to survive if their […]

Ik schreef eerder al over Sabam. Nu doet dit neefje van de Hollywood Sharks het weer, door een hoop vrees, onzekerheid en twijfel te zaaien. Een positiever initiatief is dat van Mark, die een antwoord biedt aan Sabam. Al zie ik in deze poll eerder een mooie uitleg en stimulans voor de bedrijven om wat […]
As every sysadmin with experience knows, cellular phones are telecom devices, and telecom is a responsibility for the IT guys. Especially when something is b0rken. For once, this rule was applied in my family, when dad’s cellular had a smallish problem. The ‘0‘ key didn’t react anymore. Luckily I have a Torx toolbox and after […]
