Those motherfuckers @ taxonweb screwed me over!

I wanted to do my taxes before I leave tomorrow, but the stuff gave shite. I ve been looking at it for hours now, to the point of booting my old windows machine! Turns out – the error i’ve been getting .. is server related!! They d better get it up soon coz I dont feel like having to go trough the works in holland! Goddamned!

Positive point, I got to see maya again ;) lol

Edit – One thing I hadnt tried yet.. Internet Explorer!
Sodden hell, them bastards screwed me over BIG TIME!
I just spent some hours looking to find out that their junk site wont work with Firefox!
I was wrong, thinking that our governement would have done a good job in putting this all in place! I’m actually slightly sad.

Fuckers

U.S. and Europe Near Agreement on Private Data

Filed Under (Angst) by Gert on 28-06-2008

WASHINGTON — The United States and the European Union are nearing completion of an agreement allowing law enforcement and security agencies to obtain private information — like credit card transactions, travel histories and Internet browsing habits — about people on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The potential agreement, as outlined in an internal report obtained by The New York Times, would represent a diplomatic breakthrough for American counterterrorism officials, who have clashed with the European Union over demands for personal data. Europe generally has more stringent laws restricting how governments and businesses can collect and transfer such information.

This is bad news. I guess we should trust the good people of the EU Council to do right by us.. but anything that has to do with privacy, USA and ME – makes me Quite JUMPY & UNHAPPY!!

I showered – felt great

I saved that server from the Great AWStat Death. And saved a colleague from having to get up to do it. Looking at it with the problem live also enabled me to find the Solution. Good stuff :)

& now its really off to bed!Its already too late as it is..

.. WTF??  The teley is on on one of those spend money in vain programs. Dating stuff. All sorts of profiles scrolling the screen; women looking for dates & romantic hookups. They all look surprisingly good. And a diverse packet of women too.. SMs name to number at €1 per message!
And underneath the scrolling profiles, there is a darkly colored; hard to read text saying”Fictitious profiles; no physical dates possible!
This is over the top; REALLY OVER THE TOP! The only reason I can read this is because its projected HUGE onto our wall. There is NO WAY anyone would see this on a regular tv screen!!!!! Incredible! I’ll try n get a picture that shows it all!

INCREDIBLE!

Edit: no picture proof though – the sodden program changed to porn commercials the moment I posted this. Maybe next time!

First day

Filed Under (Sport) by Gert on 26-06-2008

actually its already the Xteenth first day, but.. there s nothing to gain in giving up.

I had a short exercise moment. First a run around the small park in front of the door. Then some back muscle exercises, some arm exercises, shoulder exercices, ab exercises & some back stretching (remnant from my Tai Chi moments with Maya.)

Nothing impressive, but still better than just doing nothing.  ;)

Now to hit the shower, sleep & do it all again tomorrow!

My only regret is that I was so enrapt in the whole cable affair, I forgot the the speedminton  :/ Sorry:/ (& I just love it when I use words theFF dicts dont recognize! :/ NOT! – credits to borat for the not joke!)

allright!

  • 2x speaker cable
  • 1x tv cable

are all up where they belong. on the wall.. Not as easthetic as they could be – but already a WHOLE lot better than before! Up next

  • Telenet switch (though I d really like to mess with replacing it before finalising that)
  • 2x Network cables
  • Even beter power wiring to the projector
  • Shorter white standard power cable into the projector
  • Longer & White TV singal cable to the projector. (Possibly also HD type. That d be much needed actually; I just dont know if its really feasable; it needing to be about 10 meters. Or at least 7. But that d be really short :/

& when that is done, we ll be back to the tidy old shape. & without the troublesome TV & crap, that is! Its all quite tidy now! Ill have to put some pictures up :)

& now for a quick run; some light exercise, a shower & blisfull sleep!

Sam’s best moments ;)

Workout

Filed Under (Sport) by Gert on 25-06-2008

I need to get off my sodden arse. & writing about it is really the worst thing to do :) But here I am, writing. About it..

I need a device to help me keep on track. Maya (Yourself!Fitness) did that just FINE. Sadly, Maya is Windows & we dont do that anymore.  We do things the Linux way now. Maya doesnt work all too well with Linux. In any possible way so far. Not windows emulation; not wine likes; not console emulation; not Whatever. I cant find any decent linux tools At All! Let alone that can parallel Maya. The Wii Fit isnt an option either since the sodden thing isnt available in stores. AT ALL! I WILL free up the funds ASAP to get it. But when the hell will I find it in the stores! So I have NO decent tools at my disposal. Same with Tai Chi. It worked with Maya, but  .. I’ll seriously injure myself if I try to do that on my own.

So I need to get my act together& stop pissing. I need to start working out on myself, so the only aproach I can think of is to get myself a realistic training programme together. 30 to 60 minutes because lets behonest, if I try to start too high – I will fail. WebMD is already helping me with getting some info n all together. But I d really still like to find some help – some tool. Web based then? .. nevermind (& why not write one myself? Well, because the ppl who do THAT are not exercising. Writing an exercise prog doesnt count as exercise!!)

I’ll just try it this way already. Time for bed. I’ll try it all on (digital) paper first, I guess.

So, starting tomorrow..

  • Running (Fixed distance – no time whatever. I’ll reward myself by running less time if I run harder. Just a set goal in distance. Run to a point & back!)
  • Some stretching exercices (I’ll get into detail later)
  • Some muscle exercises (I’ll have to figure out some I guess)
  • Some extra core muscles exercises (New word I learnt today – basically amongst others, the ones I’m already doing to strengthen my back muscles.

So lets see how well these go & we ll pick it up from there. Hopefully; I’ll get Yourself!Fitness or the Balanceboard before I grow tired of this routine.. Hopefully a new Y!F on the Wii, using the Balance Board!

Exercise frequency: Daily!
Only exceptions permitted during weekends. Asin no feeling bad if I cant do it on saturday or sunday. Chances are I wont & starting to miss days is just what could screw up my whole plan. Once you start down that slippery road..

& now its off to bed!

My feeling exactly
