The Reason Al Gore Invented the Internet

Is Ronald Jenkees. He’s a self-taught musician who uses lot of improvisation. And he’s full of Win. The way he obviously enjoys making his music, the way he’s music sounds and he’s obvious gargantuan talent just won me over in mere minutes. I am buying his CD. He’s appearance is the complete opposite of what you’d expect from a main-stream musician which pretty much works out to underline his talent.

Check out his YouTube channel and his record-store for sound bites from his album.

Confession Time

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Yes, last weeks entry dated on the first of April was indeed a an April fools. If you fell for it, this time you were in good company, thanks to S. and B., both outstanding gentlemen.

I guess the secret this time was not to aim too wierd. The scenario proposed is entirely possible, albeit a slightly optimistic one.

Carry on.

IBM ThinkPad Throw-aways

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

The company I’m currently working in a project with, is set to renew all their laptops for their salesstaff. This means that they have to get rid of their old laptops. The IT-guy told me that I could buy some of them for 100€ á piece.

These are a few years old IBM ThinkPads with one gig memory and a celeron processor, I believe. The harddrives need to be wiped clean before they are sold, for obvious reasons, but the IT-guy I talked promised that he could put a Linux Ubuntu on them for no extra charge. Since these are surplus machines they are in mint condition!

If anyone is interested in buying of those those through me, or ask any questions, you know the drill.
