New motherboard works

Thu, 11/14/2002 - 3:29pm

It went a lot quicker than I thought it would: the new processor and motherboard are in the server now, and everything works fine.

The website will be quicker from now on. On the bottom of this page (in a very small font) you can read the page-generation time. For the frontpage it changed from 1,5 seconds to about 0,5 second.

Two weeks ago Edo gave me some new hardware (Thanks again). The extra memory is in the server already, but now I'll try to use the processor he gave me.

That means that Guus Bosman.nl will be offline for a few hours, starting in a few minutes.

To Mars!

Thu, 11/14/2002 - 10:55am

Guus Bosman.nl is expanding its audience to outer space. The name Guus Bosman.nl is on a DVD that will be in NASA's Mars Exploration Rover. I have an official certificate to prove it!

"Together, we will journey into space to discover and understand the many wonders of our universe."

Let's hope it works. The previous campaign was a big succes. However, the Mars Polar Lander and its CD-ROM mysteriously disappeared when it was preparing to land on Mars in 2000.

Played Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico. We played a new game with Marjolein, Daniël and Jerry yet again. It's called Puerto Rico and it's really nice. Not only because I won of course.

Daniël showed us Boonanza and we played it once. It's a nice game and seems to be suitable for more than 3 players very well too. Another update for the Games List.

Pictures Hooimarkt 12

Mon, 11/11/2002 - 12:40pm

Damage after the fire, 1981. I've found some really cool pictures of our house on the website of the Haarlem Picture Archive (Archiefdienst Kennemerland).

As I wrote a few weeks ago our landlord told us that he and his brother bought the building after it was severely damaged by a fire. On this site there are many pictures of the fire of June 25th, 1980. There is a number of pictures of the inside of the building after the fire, even of our apartment!

I've put a selection of these pictures online.
