Finally… new interwebs

Today we finally got a new internet connection in our lovely house. The previous package was 1.5 Mb/s (Megabit) down, 0.5 Mb/s up, dating back to 2004. A few months ago this was downgraded (for no good reason) to 1 Mb/s download speed, 110 kb/s max, meaning a gigabyte would take more than two hours [...]

Chuck Norris & Programming

Today I stumbled on some Chuck Norris programming jokes. Would like to share ‘em with you guys. Some of them had me crack up quite a bit.

“Chuck Norris doesn’t need a debugger, he just stares down the bug until the code confesses.”
“All arrays Chuck Norris declares are of infinite size, because Chuck Norris knows [...]

Team Fortress 2: out for Mac and Free-to-Play weekend

Yesterday was the big day: Valve released their highly successful classbased multiplayer game for Apple’s Mac. Ofcourse we are talking about Team Fortress 2, originally released back in 2007. I started playing it since April 2010 or something and I love it, let my 50+ hours on record vouch for that. Valve has ported the [...]

So I herd you liek MacBooks…

Hey guys, guess where I’m typing this new post on!
17 May was the big day, my final exams started and when I came home, I was silently hoping that UPS would stop by to deliver my ordered MacBook Pro 13″ 2010, which I had ordered roughly two weeks earlier. And yes, they did!
The [...]

Waiting for my MacBook Pro…

Well, I did it! 30th of April I placed my order for the new MacBook Pro 13″ in Apple’s online Store.
The line-up was refreshed the 13th of April, with better batteries and GPUs. The more expensive 15″ and 17″ models have got Core i5 and Core i7 dualcore CPUs now, while the 13″ range sticked [...]

A short tribute video to Suelake.com, showing you some features that alot of the users have never seen.

The song in the video is ‘Still Alive’ by Jonathan Coulton. However, this is the version used as the ‘credits song’ of Portal, a game by Valve.
Enjoy, oh and there’s more stuff at the Suelake.com Gallery page too! [...]

Team Fortress 2 and Valve games

Recently I’ve bought The Orange Box at Steam to kinda complete my Valve games collection. Jordan (my host) already gave me his second Half-Life 2 and Episode One copies for Steam and I loved it. I never played Half-Life 2 until August ‘09 because my computer couldn’t handle it. (1 GHz Pentium 3 + 384 [...]

For my previous post on this: Notebook For College
Basically I was looking for a decent/portable/robust/durable/sexy notebook for when I’m going to college (computer science) later this year. The notebook will be used for the casual internet/music/messenger stuff, but also for my creative things such as software/web development and other new projects.
Currently I’m a happy Windows [...]
