Piano Fortissimo and Piano Pianissimo!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Just got my piano in! Have played for years when I was young(er), but haven’t played in 10+ years or so. Untill now, decided to pick it up again after I heard a collegue playing the blues in a bar last year…

To make sure that my neighbours don’t suffer from my practice lessons, I bought an acoustic Yamaha with “Silent System“, so can play both Fortissimo as Pianissimo now ;)

BlackBerry 8800

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Had my old 8707 for over half a year now, and it started to automatically dial other people, didn’t respond to the 6 rightmost keys and was basically unusual.

So today I got the new BlackBerry 8800, black & shiny, and with GPS ! Hope this is more robust, also noticed that they removed UMTS (useless anyway).

DNA11 portrait received!

Friday, January 12th, 2007

As I wrote before, I ordered a DNA portrait from DNA 11.

Today I received it (2 months), very happy with the result. Now only need to be stretched on a frame.

<– Look, it’s me!

I want my Scooba

Monday, January 8th, 2007

As I now have a tiled stone floor, I sometimes need to scrub it. As I HATE household tasks, I’m waiting for quite a while for the iRobot Scooba.

However, each and every time I look for it, it has been delayed. Seems there are some problems with getting the EU allowing the Clorox solution, the cleaning solution used in the Scooba. However, I just found out that alternatives are available.

Now, where can I buy the f#cking thing in Europe…

Bedroom Television

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

Darn, finding a bedroom television is harder than I thought. It’s easy to find that uber tellie for your living room, as you just have to compare the tests and find the best model. Bedroom televisions are harder to find, because they simply aren’t the top models, and thus tested less, but you also do not want to pick up some rubish TV.

For now, I set my thoughts on the Philips 26PF9531, but that might still change.
If now UPC would arrange for my internet to work again, I could actually start searching for information… :(
