I will continue writing, just seem to have some problems getting started again. Call it writer’s block. I have however started a YouTube Channel. Taking videos is so much easier than writing!

Dear Census Worker

Daniel — Sat, 01 May 2010 21:35:12 +0000

This is close to what my place might look like now.

On the news today I heard that you guys will knock on doors soon and visit people who didn’t return their census forms. I am unable to return my census form this year, so I am sure you’ll stop by the house [...]

Morning Dew

It is Sunday in late April. When I got up at 7 o’clock, the sun had just started to climb over the horizon. The morning concert of songbirds in the backyard was in full swing. In Europe, this time of day is the closest you can come to the sound of a [...]

Tom the mouse

When we moved into a country cottage last August, one of the first things we did was to set up a few mouse traps. Reclaiming the abandoned house from the wild was a success. After only a few days we caught several mice of different sizes. The job was done and [...]

What the heck is Twitter?

Daniel — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:12:54 +0000

Whether or not you know what Twitter is, I bet I have a few facts you didn’t know.

Setting up some rules in your MySQL database can save you some programming time. This tip will show you how to make a combination of two columns as unique.

Less is more, minpins rule

I come from years of automated advertising-infested auto blogs. Don’t hold that against me. This is my real non-automated blog! But I am a programmer and still think of ways to use my programming experience to make my computer and non-computer work load easier to [...]

Une poésie en français

Daniel — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 09:10:18 +0000

Entlang der alten Wege

Today I will share with you: the only French poem I have written. Since I live in France at the moment, I think it’s appropriate to start with that one. I wrote this poem over 10 years ago while learning French in school. I recently published a whole book of my [...]

Twitter – To follow or not to follow?

Daniel — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:16:14 +0000

Shamelessly advertising my own twitter account

I am not sure if I should admit this, but… ahh… lets just say I have followed a lot of people. OK, lets make this more clear. I have been a Twitter whore and followed anyone. I later found out that many of the “people” [...]
