Today I'm staying home, reading. Not that I have a lot of choice... :)

Reading a book Sasha brought me, "Theory and Practice of Concurrency". It's about CSP etc.

Haarlem Flower Carpet

Thu, 08/29/2002 - 3:56pm

This weekend there is a flower carpet at the Grote Markt in Haarlem. Because my toe is in a huge bandage and still hurts, I didn't see it but there's a webcam on top of the City Hall:

Picture Grote Markt, the webcam is here

Well... it's done. Not so bad as I expected, although the real test will come in about an hour.

Hardware is fun

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 4:18pm

I've been working on the hardware all evening, and the results: at this moment I have:

  • A Pentium 100 with 16MB memory, 800 MB harddisk
  • A 486 with 24 MB memory, 200 MB harddisk

They both boot, but that's it :) Now I'll install a second network card in my Windows 2000 computer, to give the new ones internet access.

Boot disk...

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 1:58pm

Obviously after such a long time working with Windows 2000 I don't have any boot disks. This could have been a serious problem but TechW0rm comes to the rescue.

I needed the bootdisk to find the CMOS password. And this W0rm is pretty nice, it contains a small program called 'CMOSPWD.EXE'... BIOS password turned out to be 'VOLVO'.

It boots

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 1:41pm

The Pentium boots! Well, that is to say, it's now asking for a bootable floppy disk. It doesn't recognize the harddisk, so I'll have to look in the BIOS. But, how does that work again: clearing a BIOS' password...

Dinner with Mieke

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 1:20pm

My mother came for dinner, she had a course in Haarlem. It's a course on emergy-situations that she takes for her school, this afternoon she has been a firefighter.

She brought 2 old computers, a 486 and a Pentium. That means a lot of fun for me :) I'll be installing them tonight. Well... let's first see if they work at all.

'Poor' guy...

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 8:55am

'Weet u wat ik vind? In Nederland wordt er heel erg negatief gereageerd op de ministers in dit kabinet. In Nederland is er direct een aantal mensen dat zegt: dit klopt niet, dat klopt niet, alles klopt niet! Er klopt helemaal niets van dit kabinet! Als je ziet hoe er is gereageerd op het strategisch akkoord van de kabinetsformatie!' Minister Nawijn (Volkskrant 28 augustus)

VNC behaves funny

Tue, 08/27/2002 - 3:01pm

Last weekend we installed a nice tool for remote management of the server, VNC. It's atool that gives you access to the desktop of the server (yes we know a Windows server is less stable, and yes we would like a Linux server, but no, we didn't have time for it).

Anyway, it works great but tonight there seems to be something wrong, and it gave me the following beautiful picture that I wanted to share:
