Wonderfull music by Thermostatic.
Every time I look you in the eyes, you disapear away from me again.
Wondering what to say to you to make me look nice.
All I want is to meet you as a friend, atleast.

The second day I am with you atlast, never wanted anything but this.
Wondering what you think of me, makes me so scared.
All I want is to kiss you right away, OK.

Now I'll never take you by the hand, maybe you will be with me tonight.
Wondering what you feel for me, makes me feel so new.
All I want is to be here with you, that's true.]]> Fun and games http://jinx.etv.cx/item/43#c Fri, 13 Apr 2007 15:04:43 +0200 http://jinx.etv.cx/item/42

We had loads of drinks and fun.
Friday Ranzbak and I arrived in Hengelo (GLD) around 17:40 and met Ziphoid, Andreas, Misser, SpeedySan and Tron in person for the first time.
We set up our gear in a cozy corner and went for a drink and a walk.
My machine was eagerly used to check out compatibility and transfer stuff..
I entered in the IK+ tournement and lost big time,TCH really kicked my ass..
Had a loads of interresting talks and on Saturday saw some amazing compo entries.

The Wild Bunch demo was awesome..
Extend's Der Gümmel was great..
C64.com's Let's scroll it is an instand clasic !
Fairlight's romeo was wonderfull.. Ranzbak's favorite.

They're taking the SID to Eisengard music by Misser, A0D and Tron came in 5th in the music compo.
Misser promissed me there will be a 'final' version of it with the 'new' player for better sound.

Jeroen Tel did a great show and even I couldn't stop myself dancing allong with Andreas, A0D and Tron.
My new C128D was confiscated to be one of the 3 voting machines as was Steppe (of HVSC)'s machine..


We left for Beverwijk sunday morning around 11.]]> Retro Remix http://jinx.etv.cx/item/39#c Mon, 16 Oct 2006 18:27:47 +0200 http://jinx.etv.cx/item/38 The Bastard SysAdmin Returns by: Dinowuff

A great BOFH style story.
_Quote:
Entering the west end of the building I see the glow from my date center illuminating the darkness. “Hum”, I say aloud to no one, I know I turned the lights off when I left. Entering the data center the first thing I see is my boss’s boss sweating profusely. Three other guys are running from monitor to monitor trying to… Do something. My boss is in the corner trying to manipulate his palm pilot for; again, unknown reasons.

With a calm but “All Knowing” voice I announce: “What are you doing”? The banter ceases and all eyes are on me. Good. At least they won’t all die instantly.

You know you want to read it!

A video that tests the myth about a Model M keyboard being so tought, you can kill a man and still type afterwards..
We used a slightly broken model M from 1988 (letters B, N and the ?/ button were broken to start with).
The other keyboard was from Zenith sporting a Bull logo, that one has a thinner metal plate and rubber dome keys, it is also a 'bit' thinner than the Model M.
