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 [...]

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 [...]

MacBook Pro

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 [...]

Holo security fix #2

Good evening habboons! You are lucky today, thanks to good ole Niggus + Aaron from ForceHotel.com, another SQL vulnerability in the emulator was detected. Well, actually ‘thanks’ to the scriptkiddies that tried to abuse it…
We were discussing the weak security of running MySQL under it’s almighty root account, and after I told him to create [...]

Notebook For College

As we speak I’m downloading Ubuntu 9.10 (Desktop, x86) for installing it at an old notebook laying around here. Even though I have used Ubuntu before (back in 2007 or so), I would like to see what it’s like now. Since I’ll be (hopefully) going to college in September of this year, I’ll need a [...]

Future Projects

It’s time for another post! This time, it’s about my future projects.
As most of you know, I’m kinda done with Habbo server emulation – it was alot of fun and has taught me great things. It also taught me that a good concept combined with a good technical realization of it makes a great service/product. [...]

Why Habbo?

Today, it’s J-Day 2010. One year ago, at February 12th, 2009, Josh ‘Jeax’ Comery got arrested at his home in Sittingbourne and brought to court later. Accuser: Sulake Oy, the company behind Habbo Hotel. Jeax was the developer of Habbo scripting applications such as Axed 7, which, accordingly to Sulake, did  20,000 GBP damage to [...]
