Onheil, paniek, catastrophe! Het internet ‘doet ut niet’!

Een stroomstoring die ik niet heb kunnen meemaken in Amersfoort. Ik stel het me voor als een 28days-later-achtig schouwspel. Door enkele waarschijnlijk menselijke fouten ondervond het hart van het nederlandse internet, de AMS-IX, enkele problemen, waardoor ik mijn werk (offline documenteren ;]) niet kon doen:

Update: De situatie is erger geworden, mijn fellow-IT-colleages-and-friends beginnen uit paniek ook over deze verschrikkelijke situatie te bloggen: http://drakonen.digigen.nl/blog/index.php?entry=entry060529-160326

In my last post I released a sidebar plugin for this blog (Typo). The plugin uses an API which I coded: ruby-GalleryRemote. This is used for accessing the Gallery2 Software remotely.

Shashin is an offline gallery-admin/blogger for travelers. Since I will go backpacking this summer with some friends we realized we needed a tool like this. The project is also used to get school credits for the Design Patterns course.

This blog is now running a development version of typo. So don’t be scared if you see some strange debug information on your screen :]

Today I wrote a little plugin to test some code I’m using for a (ruby) school project (more on that later).

In the sidebar you can see my most recent daily-life pics fetched from the Gallery2 software, that’s the plugin. Now some screenshots:

Summer is comming! I had a nice 2 weeks, altough the work load is more then ever, I had some great times.

I found some ‘koninginnenach’ pictures which are embarrising for both me and my friends so I will not disclose them :). They are available on request though hehe. Instead, I have this picture of a nice dinner I had on the queensday. It’s a nice french meal with a badly cooked steak. The wine compansated for it though.

At the moment I’m working hard on my research and school. Meanwhile I’m advancing my japan plans, combining them with my friends. If all goes well, I’ll spend 8 months in Japan spread over 2006 and 2007.

The weather is great here in central holland! I will go to my hometown and celebrate my last 20 teenage hours, cu!
