The Day The Music… Died

It may very well be that years from now people will look back at this week and say “that was the turning point for the European Union”. On Wednesday the French, whose former President DRAFTED much of the constitution, voted against it in a referendum. The talking heads on the TV are saying that the …

New Blog Design Coming

Sorry I’ve been so remiss with my postings. The thing is that I have been spending many nights up until 2am working on the design for my new blog. I am going to move the blog to mochasteak.com and just turn the website that’s there now into a blog. Most of what I write is …

I’m So Bad

It’s come to this. I’m back to playing poker online. About two years ago I tried out an online poker site for about a week or so. Lost almost two hundred dollars before I realized how stupid I was being. Nothing has changed in terms of the security of online poker, but my gambling opportunities …

London Trip

Ann and I took the Eurostar high-speed train to London last weekend. Sadly, there were no more seats available in coach, so we had to go first class. I have to say, it was pretty damn cool. On the way there we had breakfast, which I slept through, but which Ann tells me was great. …

The bathrooms here in the Netherlands always have full floor to celing doors. All of them. Even the public ones (which you have to pay fifty cents or so to use). I don’t get how on the one hand you can have a sophisticated quality-of-life improvement like fully-contained toilets, but at the same time the …

Blogger sucks

After many frustrating crashes right in the middle of posting for no apparent reason I have decided that Blogger.com, quite simply. Sucks balls. Looking for a replacement, but it’s hard to find good free services. I am hoping my buddy Mark Lorenc will hook me up and install some blog software on the server that …

I am the PHP MASTER!

I’m feeling pretty good about myself. For the longest time I was trying to get the headlines from my blog to show up automatically on my website. I started by figuring out that Blogger.com had a setting that allowed you to publish an RSS feed for your blog. Then I got stuck. I have a …

Tom’s Tourney 2005 – Part 2

Tom’s Tourney 2005 – Part 2 So we left off with me at the Brugge train station trying to get to the fields. It’s 10:15am. The tournament started at 9:30. I hopped a cab and the driver luckily knew the sportpark. I get to the fields and they are just swamped with ultimate teams. There …

Deadwood – The Best Show Ever

Oh, and before I lay my head down on the keys and go to sleep, I have to share with the world what a freaking AWESOME show “Deadwood” is. It’s on HBO (and also available illegally through the wonders of BitTorrent) and it is quite simply the best TV show ever made. There. I got …
