Black MacBook

24 June 2006 General Comments Off on Black MacBook

A kind of Apple Store just opened in Brussels, at the end of the “Rue Neuve” (when you consider it starting at the “Place de la Monnaie”): MacLine.

When I saw the new MacBook dressed with its Matte Black Paint, I couldn’t resist to enter the store. I simply fell in love with this 13,3″ notebook, featuring a Intel Core Duo CPU and a 80GB HD…

MacBook

It will be my next laptop for sure…once this old good Acer TravelMate will not fill my needs anymore 😐 (or if I win the lottery 😉 ).

I already imagine myself playing with this small beast, able to run MacOS, Linux and even Windows!!!

Graspop Live!

24 June 2006 General, Music Comments Off on Graspop Live!

I’m using Belgacom ADSL as internet provider, and during the summer, they are offering live streaming of many festivals going around in Belgium: Graspop Metal Meeting, Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, …

I do not ittend to spend my time in front on my screen to watch all those nice concerts, so I’m using Mplayer to record those data streams:

mplayer -dumpstream mms://url/of/stream.wmv

Of course, the recording lasts for the time of the concert, but then I’m able to watch the concert when I want, and to go forward and backward into the stream… Nice! 🙂

Vacuum Cleaners

18 June 2006 General Comments Off on Vacuum Cleaners

I hate vacuum cleaners… Not only for the task they suggest (cleaning), but specially for their dumb power cable and stupid wheels. You know, this dumb cable that always got in the way of the stupid wheels, making the whole vacuum cleaner a hell to move and to make it follow you.

When will the Wireless Cleaner be available???
