I should have...

...written about our first meeting, where you said "Vroeger was ik een lekker stuk" and I took a photo of your legs that looked good, not to say great.

I should have written about the conversations we had.

I should have written about the nail biting, before and during the football game.

I should have because the moments mattered to me.

I should have because now they took you, after your screaming alarmed the neighbor, after your neighbor alarmed the police, after the police kicked in the door, after the police warned the ambulance, after the ambulance took you away, after the police took your cellphone, after the doctors called that after the first operation they saw little hope, and after I tried to contact your daughter, and after the second call from the doctors who said there was little hope and after that I found your daughter was informed... but all was too late.

All was too late, but disaster, 'cause it was too early. It should not have been.

Kiek, I should have...

Danke viel...

BackTrack3 to be released, RSN

And they do it again: the final release of BackTrack 3 will hit the net any moment now.

Ever since I met Max at some stint at a client, I have been impressed with his bright mind and unbelievable control over the matters he works on. He did an assesment of the wlan setup I had designed and he pinpointed the weaknesses [some publicly known, others, well 'new'] and the strong points which maked up a nice report for management.

Anyway, BT3 is about to hit the tubes soon and now you know first :P

Reasons why I do...

Add high-speed wireless data to the hottest kid on the block and me being regularly in Amsterdam with a keyboard within reach...

So this couple look a good reason to spend a couple of euroos :D

Reasons I do not.

Download Day 2008

Firefox 3 is about to het the Internet tubes in a couple of hours. Great, or is it?

The fact that Google Browser Sync project is not taking calls nor displaying any word about support of their essential FF extention for FF 3 has made me decide to NOT upgrade.

As much as I liked test driving FF3 [all beta's and RC's] I just do not want to browse without GBS, unless I am given no option.

So here is my appologies to the FireFox 3 team: sorry! But I will retreat my pledge to download FF3 untill GBS is available and will continue to use FF2.

Here's the google teams reply:
Thanks for trying out Google Browser Sync and for all of your feedback. It was a tough call, but we decided to phase out support for Browser Sync. Since the team has moved on to other projects that are keeping them busy, we don't have time to update the extension to work with Firefox 3 or to continue to maintain it.

For those of you who want to continue to use Firefox 2, we'll maintain support for old versions of Google Browser Sync through 2008. After that, we can recommend a few other products that scratch a similar itch. We hope that one of them works for you:

Mozilla Weave [labs.mozilla.com] from Mozilla Labs—Offers bookmark and history synchronization across computers.

Google Toolbar for Firefox [toolbar.google.com]—Store your bookmarks online and access them from any computer online.

Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer [addons.mozilla.org]—Synchronizes your bookmarks across all computers where it is installed.

Regards,
The Google Team


But personally I do not want to change too much at a time so I will sit back, enjoy GBS for the comming couple of months, wait till FF3's bugs will be ironed out and then, maybe, switch away from GBS to one of the above mentioned 'replacements'.
