Belgium, here we come!

The hiker has left the Netherlands! Ronpeer was so kind to place him just over the border in the Kattenboscache .

Minor update, just before GTK+ 2.4 is to be released: Asian fonts are now properly dealt with.

Hitchhiker dotSphinx brought home
Posted on February 28th, 2004 by

It turns out that the Travellers on Holiday cache hardly gets any visits. And, history shows that it takes quite a while for travellers to actually get out of the cache. This (and the fact that I wanted to show the hitchhiker to my brother who happened to be in the Netherlands for his job) made me decide to return the hitchhiker home.

By the way, on the way home, my one year old son pulled the little chain too...

Windows applet in the works

Started working on a version of the status window that can be embedded in your Windows taskbar. GNU/Linux users have had the privilege to enjoy this feature for quite some time now, but it is finally coming to the Windows world. Here's a snapshot:

We finally set our hitchhiker free, and dropped him off at Travellers on Holiday , a cache that collects travel bugs willing to travel internationally. I sure hope they accept hitchikers as well. Anyway, it is not your typical cache as you can tell by looking at the photo.

Let's hope the hitchhiker can make its way out of the Netherlands. Umm, let's also hope the kind people behind this cache do not take him straight to his designated destination,...

UserLinux Logo

I bumped into the UserLinux logo candidates , and was tempted to give it my own try. I have made two versions of a logo, both are shown below. The letters 'U' and 'L' form the abstract face of a user. The logo is well-suited for B&W media. The color of the face should perhaps be changed to something more neutral, so that it does not refer to a specific skin color (how about blue?). Other suggestions, anyone ?

I spent a lot of time migrating all pages on my site to valid XHTML 1.0. Lots of work, yet not externally visible changes, except for this emblem:

I have been tinkering with the idea of unleashing a Geocaching Hitchhiker to the world for quite some time now. Well, sometimes you need some new year resolutions to get the job done. So here he finally is, Hitchhiker dotSphinx! I can hardly wait to set him free...
