rox4debian

I make use of IceWM and ROX for my desktop. No KDE or Gnome for me ;-)

Today, I have tested the rox4debian package, and I must say that I like it. The rox-menu-method is very interesting and works very nice. Also, the .deb-normal-way-installed packages and zeroinstalled packages integrate very well in the same directory-structure. Nice work!

You can read more about rox4debian in this article.

This land is flooded by the rain

Sigh, it's raining all day, it was raining yesterday and it will probably rain tomorrow :-(

So let's all sing this song together to make the rain go away! ;-)

Song Sodium Haze from the band Star Industry.

Locked up in my house surrounded by the rain
Nothing to do, nothing to say
 
Seven days long I'm so depressed
Nothing to do, nothing to say
 
See those faces passing by
Melting smiles, looking sad
 
This land is flooded by the rain
Isn't that a crying shame
 
Get away, way, way, way, way, way falling rain
Let the sun, sun, sun, sun come out the sodium haze
Get away, way, way, way, way, way falling rain
Let the sun, sun, sun, sun come out the sodium haze
 
Three weeks later now, everything changed
Into a big grey Watergate
Heaven wash away the tears we cry
And undress the bottle with sunshine
 
Get away, way, way, way, way, way falling rain
Let the sun, sun, sun, sun come out the sodium haze
Get away, way, way, way, way, way falling rain
Let the sun, sun, sun, sun come out the sodium haze

New ISP

Today, I have migraded my ADSL-account from easynet to dommel. See here for the reason why.

The new location for my website is http://www.janw.dommel.be.

Easynet->Belgacom ''migratie''

Gisteren heb ik van Easynet - Belgacom een brief ontvangen waarin de geruchten dat easynet met ADSL Go en Plus stopt en de contracten automatisch overgedragen worden aan Belgacom bevestigd worden.

Naar aanleiding van deze vervelende situatie heb ik contact opgenomen met Dommel, en het blijkt dat overstappen van Belgacom naar Dommel zonder problemen zou moeten gaan. Ik heb ondertussen mijn aanvraag voor een ADSL-abonnement bij Dommel ingediend, dus waarschijnlijk zal mijn website (en E-mail) binnenkort naar daar verhuizen.
