Behind the scenes

maandag 8 april 2002

You might have noticed that I do not reach my goal to post at least one post a day. How come, you would wonder? Well, there are several reasons to mention. Let's write down a few.

1. This weekend I had to do a lot of social enginering to do. Or in other words, I went out with friends, had to babysit, had a birthdayparty to go to and so on and on. So yes, I have seen the other side of the border and do have a life IRL (read: in real life).

2. My desktop PC at home is unstable and shows me "blue screens of death" any time I do not want them to see. That is the reason I started to get my PC ready to migrate from Win98SE to Win2000Prof SP1. Started moving old stuff from disk to CD. Repartioned the partions so they meet my confguration standards. Made a list of applications that will appear again on my Win2000 system and uninstalled the ones that met their EOL. (read: End Of Lifetime). And finally checked my system as it is now with the Win2000 readiness tool. Hope to finish this job next weekend. So a note for any one who has borrowed CDs from me. I want them back as soon as possible!

3. I have drawn a few scetches on paper for the look and feel of JW's Braindump after the "National Omkat Day". Combined colors to a couple usuable colorschemes, which you can vote on in the near future. While using Photoshop, I scanned some old material and started retouching it. The results of this will be posted when ready.

4. I will call this "Project X" till I am able to tell more about it. For now it is to confidential to tell more about it than this. It will take a lot of my spare time, but I am more than willing to spend my time on this one. I promise I will update you as soon as the project allows me.

5. Last be not least, I am learning Perl to get a good view on what Greymatter is doing in code and how to modify it so it will serve me to the most. I am adding code and adjusting code in a local version of Greymatter. When it is stable and bugfree I will use it on here.

So this were the main reasons, besides the basic tasks in householding, why I have not posted every day. But more and good stuff are up to come. It might be hard to be patient till the changes are available to you. All I can say; it will be worth waiting for...

  2. Ziet er wel lekker uit, dus inderdaad [zoals je op suffie.serveert zegt]: ik zit achter mijn PC en doe iets.
