gesjoeld!
thinking it would be nice if Twitter listed all the matching @Replies for a specific tweet on the permalink page of that tweet.
using tightvnc on my xp pc to control vlc on my ubuntu laptop playing an iso dvd rip on my tv via s-video, loaded from my pc sata hd via smb
learned a lot about Ubuntu yesterday, tweaking the double screen+s-video output to my liking sure pushed my google-fu to the limit.
finally had a go at updating my Yamaha S-557 DVD player with bootleg itepe firmware, yay smoother divx playback and prettier subtitles!
Gmail down, luckily POP3-access via Thunderbird still works.

having fun inputting my Flickr geodata into Google Maps API
almost typed /usr/lolcat/www just now.
brief gekregen dat er een nieuwe ondergrondse afvalcontainer voor de deur komt... dat scheelt zeker 20 seconden lopen voortaan.
hoping for the moment when I don't consciously notice those youtube overlay-ads anymore.
now have more geotagged than non-geotagged photos on Flickr
flying over satellite view of Brussels, retracing my photoexploratory walk of August 12, 2008
attempting to geotag 147 Berlin photos by memory.
becoming addicted to geotagging my photos on Flickr; 1024 photos mapped so far.
accidentally clicked the "More Ads" link on Facebook - which I'm assuming is the only way anyone would ever click it.
enjoying the new Bat For Lashes album, "Two Suns"!

catching up to two episodes of dutch QI
sirene!
my #iffr top 6: Our Beloved Month o/August, Wrong Rosary, Songs from the Southern Seas, Left Handed, Nulle Part Terre Promise, Tokyo OnlyPic
#iffr film 27 (final): Machan (Sri Lanka/Germany): 3/5. Nice uplifting story, good choice of film to close the festival with!
#iffr film 26: Turistas (Alicia Scherson, Chile): 3.5/5. What a fun surprise to see the real "Ulrik" at q&a afterwards!
#iffr film 25: Songs from the Southern Seas: 4.5/5. Amaaazing landscapes in this moving and funny story about Russian/Kazakh identity.
#iffr film 24: Nulle Part, Terre Promise (FR): 4/5. Elegant collage of several people on the move through Europe. http://vimeo.com/2492806
#iffr film 23: The Dark Harbour (Naito Takatsugu, JP): 3.5/5. Great non-verbal comedy. rose + candy trick is one of the funniest moves ever.
#iffr film 22: Perfect Life (Hong Kong/China): 3/5. Nice mix of fictional and documentary stories.
#iffr film 21: Beautiful Crazy (TW): 3/5. Very dream-like, some interesting twists in chronology. Not one to watch when already a bit tired.
#iffr film 20: Liverpool (Argentina): 3/5. Lovely dirty gritty snowy setting. Fun q&a made me curious to see Alonso's previous films.
#iffr film 19: Bronson (UK): 2.5/5. Great performance, but rather lacking in story.
#iffr film 18: Tokyo OnlyPic: 4/5. Just when I think I've already seen the funniest silliest jp film of the festival, along comes this one!
#iffr film 17: Looking for Cherry Blossoms (JP): 3.5/5. Joe Odagiri's regiedebuut heeft een hoog Rembo&Rembo gehalte, heb erg gelachen.
#iffr film 16: Good Cats (Ying Liang, China): 2.5/5. Low-budget novelty. A bit disappointing compared to his 2006 debut Taking Father Home.
#iffr film 15: world premiere of Wrong Rosary (Turkey): 4.5/5. Lovely! A lot lighter, cuter, funnier than I expected from the description.
#iffr film 14: When The Full Moon Rises (Malaysia): 3/5. Very funny film noir parody, slightly too long. Great retro b/w style throughout!
#iffr film 13: Non-ko (JP): 3.5/5.
#iffr film 12: The Housemaid (South-Korea, 1960): 4/5. Lots of (unintended?) laughs at the extreme dragged-out melodrama, brilliant ending.
#iffr film 11: Our Beloved Month of August (PT): 4.5/5. Just great.
#iffr film 10: Left Handed (JP): 4.5/5. Wow, biggest surprise so far. Small but intense story, told in gooorgeously composed b/w shots.
#iffr film 9: Green Rocking Chair (Philippines): 2.5/5. Fun weird little film. Nice music, cute kids, silly paintings and animations.
#iffr films 6. 7 and 8: Susuk 3/5, Blind Pig Who Wants To Fly 3.5/5, My Love Yurie 2.5/5. Fun Q&A's following each of them, lots of laughs.
#iffr today: Susuk, Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly, My Love Yurie. All will have the director present, according to today's Daily Tiger!
found out those awesome songs in the "Oh My Soul" soundtrack are from Tinariwen's Aman Iman album: http://www.myspace.com/tinariwen #iffr
#iffr film 5: German + Rain (JP): 3.5/5. colourful, original, very funny... and silly, very very silly!
uploaded some photo impressions of cold rainy #iffr festival at www.flickr.com/photos/milov/sets/72157612862647253/
#iffr film 4: Achilles and the Tortoise (Takeshi Kitano, JP): 4/5. Oh how I love hearing that Office Kitano sound at the start of his films.
#iffr film 3: Oh My Soul (Nicholas Monsour, US): 3.5/5. Great soundtrack!
#iffr planning for today: Oh My Soul (US), Achilles and the Tortoise (JP), German + Rain (JP)
#iffr film 2: The Land (He Jia, China): 4/5. Very charming. Interesting tidbit from q&a: the main character was actually He Jia's own dad
#iffr film 1: Tiger Awards Short Films 5 (Man and Gravity 2/5, Ruissellements du diable 1/5, zasto ne govorim srpski 4/5, Brises 3/5)
missed my first planned #iffr film Tokyo Sonata because of long lines at ticket desks :/

browsing through the archive, making a collage of my fave photos of 2008.
those "user friendly" auto-tab-to-next-field forms always trip me up

stumbled on an Arabic-dubbed(!) episode of 2005 Korean drama "My Lovely Sam Soon" on digital cable and got hooked all over again.
often a bit strange for me to see "January 1" everywhere and not feel like it's the result of a failed php date() routine.
going to http://www.nieuwjaarsnacht.nl/ tonight.
just found out about the new Bon Iver EP "Blood Bank", yay.
