I found this article and followed some links to see it goes way back, to here, here, here, here, etc… The last one wasn’t linked directly to the relevant post, and I have no time to look for it so here my list ends. All the ones I posted got a trackback 
Here goes:
Ik ben in de loop der tijden steeds woedender en moedelozer geworden.
It’s quoted from “Pitface” by Herman Brusselmans. It’s a Belgian book that I haven’t read yet, it belongs to a friend of mine (Jille) and it hasn’t moved for about 7 months. I should return it or read it. Time is against me.
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

Ubuntu here I come!
I always worked with Windows, don’t ask me why, I just grew up with it. A few years ago I had a very brief Linux experience, but about 2 years ago I worked about 8 months with Gentoo. Gentoo is a great distro, and it was very popular at that time (I still run it on my P200!). I needed Windows too for school, so I had a dual boot system set up.
BUT! When I returned to gentoo after a few weeks and updated my system it was suddenly fubarred. I went back to windows, and somehow I needed some diskspace and I deleted my gentoo (it was broken anyway and I didn’t feel like fixing it).
Yesterday I bought a 200 GB HD (Maxtor if you’d care), which means I can throw out Windows again and get back to Linux. I have a portable computer that runs Windows XP, so there is really no need whatsoever to run Windows anymore. I am now sorting my data (to make sure I don’t lose anything) and later on I’m going to give Ubuntu a shot. I was going to try Archlinux first, but I was told that Ubuntu is a real pleasure to work with so I’ll give it a go.

Yesterday I saw this commercial on TV that disgusted me completely. It was the commercial for a program called “Je Bent Wat Je Eet”, a TV-show on VTM (a Belgian network), the traduction would be “You Are What You Eat”.
It’s a show about fat people that eat too much. No Wait, it’s a show about INCREDIBLY FUCKING FAT PEOPLE that eat EVERYTHING THAT COMES NEAR ‘EM!
Seriously. The commercial shows this lady (lady? LADY? I know more appropriate words…) having Fries (French Fries, Frieten) for breakfast, but not the normal ones, no, the nastiest menu you can find in Belgium. And then there’s this other “lady” (lol) eating mayonaise with a spoon. Read it again, yes, mayo - with - a - spoon.
There’s also a guy eating god knows what, it looks disgusting, and someone baking a steak in 125 grams of butter. I don’t know if you have any idea of what 125 grams of butter is, well, I didn’t untill I saw this, it’s HALF a pack of butter (a 250 gram one, obviously)! This litteraly means that the steak is getting boiled in fat, I wish I had a picture. No wait, I don’t.
There’s also this great page on ihate on fat people, go read it (or read the whole post about it).
YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!
