An Elvis man, you like your women dangerous and your steaks bloody.

I'm Vince: "Tell 'im to shut up, he's gettin on my nerves" An Elvis man, you like your women dangerous and your steaks bloody. You often get wrapped up in landscapes and fail to realize the danger you put yourself into. Don't get cocky, and don't get caught. It might be good to lay off the drugs every once in a while. Just a suggestion. Take the What Pulp Fiction Character Are You? quiz.

To Do List

So, here it is, my ultimative list of things I have to or want to do:

Top priority:
- Find a new job
This has an enormous tail of things I must do: write my resume, make nice pictures of me, find a company were I want to work, write something about "how valuable I would be to them", then maybe move to a different city/country/continent.

Hight priority:
- Write email more offen to Elizabeth
- Clean up my flat
- Put winter tyres on my car

Mid priority:
- Start one of my projects which might lead to my own company
- File my tax papers
- Find friends I can spend time with
- Find a girlfriend (Feels like its allmost impossible at the moment)
- Go swimming on a regular basis
- At least once try my luck in a rallye (enourmos tail factor)

Other things:
- Install Halion
- Make music
- Try out Tracktion
- Find a better RSS Reader
- Find some motivation

Top Coder

As if my todo list isn't long enough...

I stumbled across this site, where you can test your coding skills (Not that I have any at the moment, as I am stuck doing some installer scripts...)

I REALLY have to try it out.

Current Lyrics - The Gunners Dream

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.


Pink Floyd - The Gunners Dream

The DropMyRights Application

DropMyRights is a very simple application to help users who must run as an administrator run applications in a much-safer context—that of a non-administrator. It does this by taking the current user's token, removing various privileges and SIDs from the token, and then using that token to start another process, such as Internet Explorer or Outlook. This tool works just as well with Mozilla's Firefox, Eudora, or Lotus Notes e-mail.

True words of the week

It is sadly ironic that those who strive for success at any cost don't realize that mature and responsible human resource and production practices will more readily bring them what they so desperately seek.

And death shall have no dominion

Dead men naked they shall be one with the man in the wind and the west moon.

When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone they shall have stars at elbow and foot.

Though they go mad they shall be sane.

Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again.

Though lovers be lost love shall not.

And death shall have no dominion.

sed - The command from hell

I have to do some work with the *nix command sed . Well, it might be very versatile (especially with regular expressions), but it features a syntax from hell.

I hate it already...
