On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn’t.

I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher – not lower – than -8 but I’m not having it.

Umm, yeah…

Also on sunday, I went to Auto Moto Italia in Houten, The Netherlands – the "place to be" for Italian car lovers. However, the fair wasn’t actually all that great, luckily our club had the nicest, biggest and coolest stand 😀 So I met a lot of (new) people, and had quite some fun. Saw many nice cars (Ferrari F40, whew, youth thingy ;)) Took heaps of pictures, which I still have to get off my CF card.

Driving in "colonne" (cannot for the life of me find the english word for it) really is cool, too – 120km/h with a whole bunch of Alfa 156’s 😀

We went to the Night of the Proms in Antwerp on sunday. It was fun, as usual, although I seemed to miss a few "bigger" names – can’t help but think I’d had (even) more fun if OMD was there instead of Kid Creole. 😉 In the end, a fun evening though. Soulsister was very welcome, as were John Miles, Roby Lokatosh and Liebrecht Van Bekkevoort. Hopefully a bigger name next year ! (and perhaps bring the surprise guest back?)

A big boo&hiss to teleticketservice too, the way to order seats at the sportpaleis is quite a disaster, in my opinion. They should look at Kinepolis’ way of reserving seats 🙂

Since tonight our little kitten (well, she turned 1 a month ago..) finally comes to sleep with us on the bed instead of staying behind in the living room. Cool 😀

Apparently it exists for quite a while, but seems I missed this neato CLR language 😉

Don’t really have any sensible polite comments on this …  🙁

Alexey Tolstokozhev (btw, in Russian his name means ‘Thick Skin’), a Russian spammer, was found murdered in his luxury house near Moscow. He has been shot several times with one bullet stuck in his head.

That’s some reallife spamassassin for you 😉

My wife couldn’t log in (anymore?) on my server with her Dreamweaver installation configured for SFTP. After some research she found this Adobe Knowledge Base article, which indeed contains the solution to the problem. A bit silly this has to be enabled, I think, but hey, it does the trick now.

Funny.
