[Binari] Dommel

07 Aug '09

So, Stephen & me are going to try out Dommel for our internet... Have a look at : http://www.dommel.com/en/adsl/netconnect.php?cust=home --> 29€ for which you should get : * 0€ activation * 12 mbps max d/l speed (this is a maximum value, not a garantueed one, as always I suppose) * 200 gb d/l each month, with a 50% ratio between 1am and 1pm --> maximum 400 gb. * .be domain * and the coolest thing, click on "add-on features" : "boost pack : experience an unlimited (so no fup, as used by other isp's, but really unlimited) download, 4 simultanious pppoe passthrough sessions allowed : 6,00 euro/month and 9,95 euro activation fee" Taking the phone line for 5€, assuming you don't have one, you end up with 29+5+6 = 40€ if you want unlimited d/l, or 34€ for 200-400 gb, and 0+10 = 10€ activation. Too good to be true? I'll let you know...

[Binari] David de Weirdt is such a ass
by Kenny Billiau 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I was too honest and told David exactly what times I went working last week: tuesday afternoon (2 hours), wednesday, thursday morning (2hours), friday, sunday afternoon and monday. Now the bastard only gave me the time for wednesday, thursday, friday and monday as tuesday and sunday were holidays they don't give overtime for. I know he is totally right! But why the fuck did I come one tuesday and sunday for? Obviously to make up for the time I didn't do on thursday. Djees. A little colleaguality would be nice. Anyway, next time I'll say: I'm gonna work for 40 hours during the Gentse feesten ;) Now I feel so bummed and stupid, Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "What we feel isn't important.

[Binari] java annoyances
by Sofie Van Landeghem 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

We are now accepting nominations for our award "Biggest Java Annoyance". Contribution 1 by Sofie : toString of an array produces something like "[D@89ec59" instead of calling toString of each element in the array. (I admit, this would be disastrous for big arrays, but still)

Hi, I know it's a bit unannouced, but these are the current 'new' movies I've recently downloaded.

(1970)-JBW Unforgiven.avi Vicky.Christina.Barcelona.DVD.SCREENER.XViD-PUKKA Wall.E.2008.R5.XViD Wonder Boys creep_FLASH.swf notes on a scandal zelig The things that are worth seeing are: The Thin Red Line: very slow starting WWII movie, but having an equally emotional climax as Platoon. Excellent framing and landscaping. This movie got released in the same year as Saving Private Ryan and this resulted in an undeserved missing of the spotlight. It's also worht mentioning that the director only made three movies and that his previous one was more than 20years before The Thin Red Line. Platoon: well, gripping and realistic Vietnam movie. Children of Men: Made me have respect for Clive Owen. I like these post-apocalyptic movies without the world being nuked. Cloverfield: handycam shot horror movie. Avalanches: it's only a music video, but makes me smile each time. Blood Diamond: dramatic but strangely nihilistic. Gran Torino: grumpy 'feel good' movie. You've gotta take 'feel good' with an enormous amount of salt tho. Burn After Reader: kick ass movie. I went from wtf to WTF throughout the whole thing. Brilliant. Hearts of Darkness: kind of the making of Apoclaypse Now. Everytime I see this, I want to create things. Coppola really has too much enery. Match Point: an agreeable Woody Allen movie. It made me smile through the ending. Unforgiven: Another Clint Eastwood movie from 1992. Bad quality but an excellent western. In Bruges: It's got an English touch and reminded me therefor of Snatch. It's slower paced tho. Wonder Boys: for the potsmokers amougst us. Battleship Potemkin: it's black and white and from 1925, so without sound. The amazing thing about the movie is how they showed people being shot (a closeup of a women shot through the glasses), so it's realistic and brutal. I haven't managed to look through the whole movie tho. Tora!x3: 3 hour epos about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Very slow paced, but extremely realistic. Nicely done. De Leeuw Van Vlaanderen: makes me laugh from beginning till end. What a mess. -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "The important thing is that you're alive" - Roxanne

Is anyone else fan of the Anno series? Anno 1602, 1503, 1701 and now, recently released, 1404 :-) http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2009/06/12/anno-1404-dawn-of-discovery-re… If anybody should try it, let me know how it is! Maybe for some people with too much time on their hands, thpar? ;-) Well, only if you're into strategic games... Unfortunately, they did not include multiplayer, though it's there for 1602 and 1701... This concludes today's broadcast. Sofie
