For those of you who haven’t heard about it yet, New Horizons is NASA’s mission to explore Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. The mission started back in January 2006 — and if you visit the mission’s site, the counters on the first page will tell you exactly, down to the very second, how long has […]

Protect your online content
This has happened to me recently: Normally I check my webservers logs regularly — partly to find out whether my page views have increased (if only 🙂 ), partly to see where my visitors come from (and more importantly to make sure that I get other visitors than my friends 🙂 ), partly to see […]
J2ME and GPRS Connections
I liked from the beginning the idea of mobile and embedded programming so I spent a lot of time on mobile and embedded programming (see the mobile section on my website). More specifically, I spent a lot of time doing J2ME stuff. Recently, as a lot of you might know, there is a new API […]
Stellarium

Prior to that though, I used to work in a company offering enterprise solutions for document management. Most of their clients were large-scale companies with […]
Intel-based Mac
What’s all this hype about Intel-based Macs? All I could see is just a fancy laptop that costs twice as much and can run Windows! :O
dot-com idea
Here’s a (pretty stupid) idea of making money in the DOT-COM era: run a website where you invite people to make suggestions on what you could do to lose your job and get yourself fired and then run advertising on it (mostly to do with job hunting!) and make money off it. 🙂 Wonder if […]
