My new startpage: Google News - Sci/Tech. News for nerds, stuff that matters now, not like in 4 days (yes slashdot, that’s you I’m talking about).

MPAA targets TV download sites

Friday, May 13th, 2005

Damn. Today I found out that my favorite Torrent site, btefnet, was down. Quickly googled it, and found out that the MPAA targets TV download sites, among which btefnet.net.

Very sad to see it go, as it was my primary resource for TV torrents, and I used it a lot to follow the US seasons os the Simpsons/Lost/Numb3rs/CSI etc. Oh well, back to usenet for now.

Quit Smoking

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

I (am trying to) quit smoking since last monday.

Had been partying 5 days in a row:

  • Wednesday: PSV - AC Milan
  • Thursday: Bevrijdingsdag
  • Friday & Saterday: Moulin Blues
  • Sunday: PSV Kampioenen

    On thurday I already felt miserable in my throat, on monday morning I smoked my last cigarette, as I couldn’t speak anymore and my whole troat was feeling thick.

    For the first time in years I managed to quit for more than 1 day, and right now I do not even have the need for a smoke. Wonder how long I’ll manage to be clean this time, though I’m now more and more convinced that this is the last time I can stop myself (if not, smoking will stop me).

    Stay tuned for more no-smoking updates :)
