Evil youth

Posted by Tjeerd on August 22, 2005

They have always been there, they will always stay here and in the future they will also exist. What I’m talking about is called evil youth. Last week I me and my girlfriend were sitting in the metrocar and we were ‘listening’ to a guy who had some sort of handheld mp3 stereo-installation. He was standing nearby the driver’s cabine. Anyway, half the metrocar could hear his music. Ofcourse we are in the 21st century and nobody dares to say anything about it, including me. The metrodriver anyhow opened his door and said he was shaking on his chair and he asked whether the guy could turn down his volume. The guy said that it wasn’t that loud, anyway he turned down the volume. As soon as the door from the driver’s cabine was closed he turned up the volume again. The next metrostation the metrodriver again opened his cabine – the guy turned down the volume immediately – and again started complaining something like: “Godverdomme, doe dat ding uit”. The guy said the music was off, definitely lying ofcourse. The metrodriver mumbled something and closed the door again.

Then after some seconds the guy again turned up the volume and now the metro stopped somewhere between two metrostations and now the metrodriver was really pissed and opened the door once again – the guy again immediately turned down the volume – and asked whether he couldn’t read the companyrules. The guy said he didn’t know the rules.

Finally when arriving at the last metrostation we could leave this nasty stuff. But before the guy left the metro he first had to turn up the volume to a maximum and leave the metrocar as if nobody could do him anything.

Yeah, I can now write a story about it, but it’s actually very sad that those guys exist.

Parkfun and waterflood

Posted by Tjeerd on August 19, 2005

While sitting in the park yesterday with some friends and enjoying the sun and doing some football suddenly we noticed some action. Further away in the park a couple was doing “it” in a grassfield. We could all see what they were doing and how they were doing it, those people really get a kick of it or don’t bother the people walking around. It really became fun when a dog was walking around in the park and suddenly stopped at about 25 meters from the couple away. The dog was watching what they were doing and then decided he had to sprint to the couple. The couple immediately stopped their activities.

And today I came at my work and the whole department had a waterflood yesterday evening – because of a broken coolwater pipe – they told me there was about 2 cm. water on the whole department and it also streamed down to lower levels in the building. There have been made pictures and movies of it, so perhaps I’ll post them soon ;) . Anyway, didn’t have to work today.

LEDs are the future?

Posted by Tjeerd on August 18, 2005

While being know as a guy who keeps telling everyone that LED’s cannot become defect (at short term) by normal usage, I now found a nice article about LED-illumination in your house. LED’s are relatively cheap, have a high efficiency and are available in different colors. Technology around LED’s is still improving and some good examples of using this technology in a room, can be found here.

Planarity

Posted by Tjeerd on August 10, 2005
In Planarity you have to align the vertices in such a manner that none of the lines intersects. Try it yourself.
