Sinds vrijdag is het eindelijk gedaan. De zes weken stage bij Siemens. Niet dat 't geen fijne tijd was, daar niet van, maar er mocht wel een einde aan komen. Elke dag vroeg uit mijn bed moeten en 's avonds laat thuis zijn terwijl alle anderen verlof hebben, is niet zo fijn. Bovendien wordt 't ook wel s tijd om wat te studeren voor de tweede zit.

Wat de stage betreft: het was zeker de moeite waard. In een bedrijf als Siemens krijg je eens totaal ander materiaal in je handen. Tests opstellen voor nieuwe technieken, zelf iets testen, nieuwe technieken bestuderen, meevolgen van en meewerken aan interessante state-off-the-art projecten zoals het internet op de Thalys of I-City,... En de bende geeks die daar rondliep was ook wel fijn :-) Ik wist trouwens niet dat Linux zoveel gebruikt werd: settopboxen, access points, routers/gateways,... Alles draait linux! U heeft waarschijnlijk meer linux in uw huis dan u dacht ;-) Echt wel de moeite waard en een aanrader aan al wie twijfelt om een stage te gaan doen! Dat dit voor zes studiepunten meetelt, is uiteraard uitermate mooi meegenomen. Maar 't mag ook wel, want zes weken is lang en met de reistijd erbij waren het wel lange dagen.

Nog meer goed nieuws: mijn schatje is terug! Jaja, terwijl ik aan't werken was, heeft zij doodleuk een reisje gemaakt naar Normandi

Dr. Daniel Jackson makes an amazing discovery while translating the Ancient writing on the colonnade that SG-2 discovered on planet P3X-439. The writing talks about a library of knowledge and Daniel suspects it contains a repository — the same type of device that once downloaded the Ancients' knowledge into Col. O'Neill's brain and would have cost O'Neill his life had not the Asgard intervened and removed the alien data from his mind.

However, SG-2 spots a Goa'uld reconnaissance drone while on the planet, which means that system lord Anubis is also aware of the repository's existence. SG-1 must get to it first, so that they can, once and for all, learn the location of the Lost City of the Ancients and use that race's advanced technology to save the galaxy from Goa'uld oppression. Should this knowledge fall into Anubis' hands, nothing will be able to stop him. This time, SG-1's plan is to remove the repository rather than downloading it into a human, and then to bring it back to Earth and find a safe way to retrieve the data. The Asgard and other alien allies are not responding, so Stargate Command is on its own.

SG-1, SG-2 and SG-3 are dispatched to P3X-439, where Daniel and Maj. Carter try to remove the repository from the monument — with no luck. Suddenly, a full-scale Goa'uld attack rocks the monument, as Alkesh fighters carpet-bomb the area. There is no choice: Someone must download the Ancient knowledge into his or her brain. O'Neill assesses that Carter is too valuable, and that Daniel will be needed to translate the Ancient language that whoever goes through with this will be speaking when their consciousness is taken over and replaced by that of the Ancients — resulting in neural overload and death. So he does it again: O'Neill steps up to the repository, where the face-hugging arms come out, grab O'Neill's head and pump Ancient knowledge directly into his brain.

The teams return to Stargate Command, where they must face the inevitable: O'Neill's human consciousness will soon be obliterated and he will begin speaking in Ancient. Not long after that, his human physiology will no longer be able to handle the strain and he will die.

Meanwhile, in Washington, newly inaugurated President Hayes has found a replacement for Gen. Hammond, in an attempt to put a friendly face on the Stargate Project when it goes public. She is Dr. Elizabeth Weir, a multilingual political negotiator who will be able to confer with leaders of other countries, who no doubt will want shared control of the stargate.

Indeed, there's already someone within the administration itself who wants control of the stargate — Vice-President Kinsey, who has pressured the president into this bold move. Kinsey informs Weir in no uncertain terms that he is best person to have on her side when she takes over Stargate Command — and the last person she'd want to cross.

President Hayes, completely aware of Kinsey's history with Hammond, informs the general that he does not want him to retire. He knows full well that Hammond's experience will remain invaluable in the near future — but politics is politics. All offworld teams are recalled and the stargate is shut down for a three-month review process.

No one at Stargate Command is happy about that, or about Dr. Weir taking command. For her part, Weir doesn't intend to allow Kinsey to use her as a puppet to control the stargate. She is also aware of O'Neill's impending death and intends to deal with it. Kinsey wants O'Neill and the rest of SG-1 gone, but O'Neill's knowledge of the Lost City is crucial to winning the war against the Goa'uld.

The Goa'uld, meanwhile, are now an immediate threat to Earth: Teal'c's mentor, Bra'tac, arrives through the stargate with the dire news that Anubis knows Earth has the repository of Ancient knowledge, and he is about to attack. In three days, he and his army of Kull Warrior supersoldier drones will arrive.

Kinsey thinks this is all a ruse to keep the program running and SG-1 in place. But Weir knows better. — and because the knowledge in O'Neill's head is the only chance of saving Earth … well, Kinsey's private agenda be damned. She's in charge of Stargate Command now, not him. She believes that the threat to Earth is real and that America owes Col. O'Neill the chance to make what might be his ultimate sacrifice. Judging from the Ancient word that issues from his lips, the time for that sacrifice is coming soon.

Bra'tac returns home to Chulak. Teal'c goes with him, in the hope of procuring warriors and ships to protect Earth. O'Neill is about to give Teal'c the "if I don't see you again speech." But Teal'c is certain they will. The rest of SG-1 hopes he's right.

KIM-OPLEIDING

Na het bekendmaken van de ,,Vandamme-affaire'', over het inhoudsloze KIM-postgraduaat aan de Ugent (DS 27 juli) haastten de KULeuven, de VUB en de UA zich om te verklaren dat dergelijke wanpraktijken bij hen niet mogelijk zijn ,,vanwege de vele controles''. Ik betwijfel dat ten zeerste. Over die KIM-opleiding werd wel degelijk een anonieme studentenevaluatie georganiseerd. Geen enkele student, op

Eerder was al te lezen dat het Vlaamse onderwijs de mogelijkheden van vrije software gaat verkennen. Dit is blijkbaar niet alleen zo in Vlaanderen, maar ook in Frankrijk. Daar krijgen de middelbare scholieren begin volgend jaar CD's van de overheid met vrije software en een Linux Live CD. Hopelijk wordt het een groot succes!

Sarah Knauss (September 24, 1880 - December 30, 1999) was considered the "world's oldest person" by Guinness World Records from April 16, 1998 until her death in 1999. At 117, Sarah set the record for the oldest "new" titleholder (which corresponds to the highest "valley" on a graph of the oldest living persons over time).

Sarah DeRemer Clark was born in a small coal mining town, Hollywood, Pennsylvania (which no longer exists), and died in Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 1901 she married Abraham Lincoln Knauss. He became a well-known Republican leader in Lehigh County. Upon the 1998 death of Marie-Louise Meilleur, she became the oldest recognized person in the world. Following her death, Eva Morris of England became the oldest recognized person in the world.

Knauss was a homemaker and insurance office manager. Her daughter, Kathryn Sullivan, who was 96 at the time of Sarah's death, once explained Knauss' three-digit age by saying:""She's a very tranquil person and nothing fazes her. That's why she's living this long."

In 1995, when asked if she enjoyed her long life, Knauss said matter-of-factly: "I enjoy it because I have my health and I can do things." Her passions were said to be watching golf on television, doing needlepoint, and nibbling on milk chocolate turtles, cashews, and potato chips. "Sarah was an elegant lady and worthy of all the honor and adulation she had received," said Joseph Hess, an Administrator of the Phoebe-Devitt Homes Foundation facility where Knauss died quietly in her room. Officials said that, to their knowledge, she had not been ill.

Knauss lived through seven U.S. wars, the sinking of the RMS Titanic and Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic. She was older than the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, and was already 88 when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in July 1969.

In addition to her daughter, Knauss was survived by several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

At age 116 she was recognized as the United States national longevity recordholder, then thought to be held by Carrie White (1874?-1991). It is now thought that the record should have been held by Lucy Hannah (117 years 248 days) who died in 1993. In any case, Sarah extended the U.S. record to age 119. She lived to see her daughter turn 96. Most scientific circles consider her to be the second-oldest person ever, after Jeanne Calment (the Izumi claim to be 120 being largely bypassed).

She is considered to have been the last living member of the Missionary Generation.

Maximillion J. Pegasus, known as Pegasus J. Crawford (?????J???????) in the original Japanese anime and manga, is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!. In the English Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses video game, and in the instruction booklet for Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, his original name, Pegasus Crawford is used, while in the other games his English anime and manga name is used. Pegasus is unusual in that his English name is used in the English manga while most Yu-Gi-Oh! human characters keep their Japanese names in the English manga. In the video game Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, the character representing Pegasus within the virtual world of the game is named Pegasus J. Kroitzel.

Pegasus, an antagonist, is the Honorary Chairman of Industrial Illusion (I²) and the creator of the game of Duel Monsters (Magic and Wizards in the Japanese manga). Pegasus, an American, possesses the Millennium Eye (throughout the Duelist Kingdom saga), and is to trying take over the Kaiba Corporation for its Solid Vision technology so he can use it to see his deceased love, Cynthia (Cecelia Pegasus in the English anime, who is his wife in the English anime). A possible reason on why the name was changed is because "Cynthia Crawford" resembles "Cindy Crawford". Pegasus plans to use that technology in conjunction with the seven Millennium Items. Using Seto Kaiba's technology with the items' magic is said to be able to give the power of Life over Death and would bring Cindy back to life.

Pegasus first met Cynthia at a party thrown by his businessman father in Las Vegas 14 years ago. He says she died when he was 17. It was unclear whether or not they married in the original Japanese.

After her death, Pegasus searched the world looking for anything that could possibly revive the dead. His quest led him to Egypt where their beliefs of an afterlife intrigued him. There he met Shadi, the ghost of a guardian of the Millennium Items, who gouged Pegasus' left eye out and replaced it with a gold metal one called the Millennium Eye after Pegasus passed its test.

Pegasus soon learned of the ancient Shadow Games that were played in ancient Egypt and began to obsess with their powers. He created a new game in the United States basing a card game on the duels used in the ancient version. Combining the magic of the Millennium Items with these cards had the same effect as using them with the stone slabs originally used. One notable problem he had was with the Egyptian God Cards, whose magical powers were too great for him to manage. Fearing for his life, he returned to Egypt, and had Ishizu Ishtar, a current guardian, bury them in the Pharaoh's tomb.

Pegasus has a habit of calling Yugi Mutou (Yugi Moto in the English anime) "Yugi-boy" and Seto Kaiba "Kaiba-boy" in the English anime and manga. This is assumed because of his childish personality, since he still enjoys cartoons, and even created cartoon monsters.

In the manga, after his Millennium Eye is torn out, he disappears without a trace and is presumed dead.

In the Japanese second series anime, Pegasus is the inspiration for Dungeon Dice Monsters, a game that Ryuji Otogi (Duke Devlin) created. Pegasus' defeat at the hands of Yugi is the reason that Otogi challenges Yugi in both second series anime versions.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, Pegasus' k?hai (protégé), Yakou Tenma, takes over Industrial Illusions after Pegasus is defeated.

In the game Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 8: Reshef of Destruction in Japan), Pegasus takes an alias. In the Japanese version, he takes the name Taiyo Tenma (???? Tenma Taiy?). In the English version, he takes the name Sol Chevalsky.

Het gaat weer goed met de ruimtevaart. Na het bange afwachten op het resultaat van de Discovery-missie is iedereen nu terug hoopvol voor de toekomst. De NASA wist te melden dat de shuttle nog nooit in zo'n goede staat teruggekeerd is van een ruimtereis. Daarnaast is vandaag ook nog een Ariane 5 vertrokken die meteen het record van de lancering van de zwaarste telecommunicatiesatelliet ooit op haar naam mag schrijven. Alleen een Ariane 5 is in staat om zo'n beest van 6,5 ton in een geostationaire baan te krijgen. De Europese en Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisaties beleven hoogdagen!

De BBC scoort de laatste tijd enorm goed bij mij. Echt een omroep zoals het hoort: alles wat betaald wordt door de staat, ook gratis aan de burgers ter beschikking stellen. Zo moet het zijn. Velen herinneren zich wel nog de actie waarbij je een week lang de muziek van Beethoven kon downloaden. Wat velen echter niet weten, is dat de BBC nog veel meer weggeeft.

Als je een dezer dagen door de Ottergemse Steenweg rijdt, kan je misschien nog een stukje van mijn vel tegenkomen. Inderdaad, ik heb er net het asfalt van heel dichtbij bekeken. Aan een goede snelheid aan het doortrekken toen het achterste tandwiel ineens het contact met de as verloor. Recht op mijn bek dus. Resultaat: een schelleke vel eraf aan de ellebogen en een rugzak en pc op mijn kop gekregen. Respect voor de vriendelijke man op de mobilette die direct stopte en vroeg of hij iets kon doen! Maar ja, buiten rechstaan en te voet verdergaan (naar de apotheker, om ontsmetting) kan je niet veel anders doen h

The past months, I had cow spots as wallpaper. Now I thought it could be the time for a new one. With all the news about Discovery this week and space being a passion for years, I decided to take a look at NASA's and ESA's wallpaper sections. Lot's of beautiful stuff to find there. The background of my current desktop (click for a larger image) is not some modern art by humans, but it's a masterpiece created by nature itself! I love those pictures and it was really hard to cut some of it to give the image the same ratio as my widescreen.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or Erb's muscular dystrophy is a type of muscular dystrophy that includes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker's muscular dystrophy, and a large number of rarer disorders.

The term "limb-girdle" is used to describe these disorders because the muscles most severely affected are generally those of the hips and shoulders -- the limb girdle muscles.

Common symptoms of limb-girdle muscular distrophy are muscle weakness, myoglobinuria, pain, myotonia, cardiomyopathy, elevated serum CK, and rippling muscles.

The muscle weakness is generally symmetric, proximal, and slowly progressive.

Generally pain is not present with LGMD, and mental function is not affected.

LGMD can begin in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood or even later. The age of onset is usually between 10 and 30. Both genders are affected equally. When limb-girdle muscular dystrophy begins in childhood the progression appears to be faster and the disease more disabling. When the disorder begins in adolescence or adulthood the disease is generally not as severe and progresses more slowly.

The distal muscles are affected late in LGMD, if at all. Over time (usually many years), the person with LGMD loses muscle bulk and strength. Eventually, he may need a power wheelchair or scooter, especially for long distances.

While LGMD isn't a fatal disease, it may eventually weaken the heart and lung muscles, leading to illness or death due to secondary disorders.

LGMD is typically an inherited disorder, though it may be inherited as a dominant, recessive, or X-linked genetic defect. The result of the defect is that the muscles cannot properly form the proteins needed for normal muscle function. Several different proteins can be affected, and the specific protein that is absent or defective identifies the specific type of muscular distrophy.

Treatment for LGMD is primarily supportive. Exercise and physical therapy are advised to maintain as much muscle strength and joint flexibility as possible. Assistive devices may be used to maintain mobility and quality of life. Careful attention to lung and heart health is also required.

Right now, I'm watching NASA TV with RealPlayer in a corner of my screen while working on wireless tests. It's nice to follow the mission this way and hear and see status updates while working. First two landing attempts were cancelled because of the bad weather in Florida. Next opportunity is at 13.06 CEST (engine burn) and another hour and 6 minutes later Discovery should touch the ground in California.

Constantine II (Causantín mac Áeda) (874?–952) was king of Scotland from 900 to 942 or 943. He was the son of King Aedh, first cousin of the previous king Donald II, and first cousin once removed of his successor Malcolm I, to whom he left his kingdom upon abdicating and becoming a monk. Constantine's reign is the second longest reign in Scottish history.

Constantine succeeded Donald to the Scottish throne in 900. If a coronation took place, then there is no surviving record of it.

During his reign, Constantine had to fend off Viking (or Norse) raids from the north and west. The earliest of these involved driving the Vikings away from Scotland, and this reached a triumphant climax at the Battle of Scone in 904, after which the Vikings were forced to withdraw from Scotland. However, by then, the Vikings had laid waste to much of Scotland, and in particular the Dunkeld and Alba areas.

Constantine later struggled to win land from, or at least not lose land to, his neighbour to the south, the Saxon area of Northumbria, where the Vikings, led by Viking king Ragnall, had resettled themselves. Constantine was involved in two battles with Ragnall (referred to as the Battles of Corbridge) in that area in 914 and 918, both of which resulted in Scottish victories and ultimately a cessation of hostilities there with the Norse.

When he was not involved in fighting Vikings, Constantine remodelled the Christian church of the day to be more Gaelic in nature. This included a Synod at Scone in 906, and he introduced the mormaer (earls) system to Scotland.

Constantine married at some point in his life, but virtually nothing is known of it. The date and place of the marriage are unrecorded, and his wife's name is likewise forgotten. It is known, however, that the marriage produced at least three children: two sons and a daughter.

Constantine's daughter, whose name is also no longer known, married Olaf III Guthfrithson, the Norse king of Dublin at the time, in 937, in order to establish a more stable relationship with the Norse. At least three children later came from this marriage. If it was intended to contribute to holding back Northumbria, it did not. Constantine was defeated at the Battle of Brunanburh by King Athelstan of England in 937. One of Constantine's sons, Cellach, died in this battle.

In 942 or 943, Constantine abdicated in favour of Malcolm and entered a Culdee monastery in St Andrews, Fife, and eventually became Abbot there. He died peacefully in 952, and was probably buried at the monastery. Constantine's surviving son, Indulf, later became King of Scotland.

Binnenkort verdwijnen enkele kanalen van de analoge kabel. Ik kan me echter wel inbeelden dat kanalen zoals CNN, BBC World en ARTE wel gemist zullen worden door de studenten-homebewoners. Ik heb dan ook eens rondgezocht naar wat de mogelijkheden zouden kunnen zijn in de universitaire gebouwen met het interne TV-netwerk. Het ontvangen van het digitale signaal zou wel mogelijk moeten zijn, denk ik, een returnpad voor het interactieve deel echter niet. En de prijs zou normaal ook moeten meevallen: ofwel een waarborg van 50

Wie dacht dat het begrip aflaten in de hedendaagse maatschappij niet meer bestaat, heeft het bij het verkeerde eind. Aflaten zijn een gedeeltelijke of volledige kwijtschelding van de staffen voor begane zonden, uitgereikt door de paus. In het verleden hadden de pausen een bloeiende handel hierin en konden de rijkeren voor een mooie som hiermee hun zonden afkopen.

Vandaag de dag bestaan die dingen blijkbaar nog. Paus Benedictus XVI heeft namelijk beslist dat de deelnemers aan de Wereldjongerendagen in Keulen kunnen rekenen op dergelijke aflaten. Wilt u ook een aflaat, maar bent u verhinderd om naar Keulen te trekken? Bid dan voor de deelnemers en u krijgt gedeeltelijke kwijtschelding van uw zonden.

Since a time ago, I had some strange mouse (and sound) problems. I was using a 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 kernel compiled manually with everything working. The only strange thing was some message appearing at boot time (more exactly when /etc/init.d/alsasound was started) pointing me at the fact that there was a problem with the program reading the file "/etc/asound.state". I took a look into that file, but all I saw were @'s and other strange signs, so it seemed it was a binary one. Normally there are no binary files in /etc, so I thought it might be corrupted and I removed the file. (In fact: it is the file where your mixer levels are stored, so removing it couldn't cause any problems) Since then, sound wasn't working anymore.

Another problem I had, was when I compiled a new 2.6.12 kernel starting from the old .config file and using "make menuconfig". When booting that kernel, my USB-mouse didn't work anymore. Touchpad and the "clit" (that little "button" between the g and h on some laptopkeyboards) worked perfect. It even didn't work anymore when I recompiled the old 2.6.11 kernel with the config gathered from "zcat /proc/config.gz > .config" because I lost the original one. So these two 2.6.11 kernels should be identical, but the newly compiled one didn't make my USB-mouse work the way the old one did. Strange stuff, isn't it?

So, thanks to the nice guys on bcol the problem is solved now. In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, I had three sections "InputDevice": one for my keyboard and two for my mice (USB and touchpad/clit). One was using /dev/input/mouse0, the other one /dev/input/mouse1. Toni (Dutch weblog) explained me that I could better use /dev/input/mice as this is some virtual device combining the input from all mouse-devices. I even shouldn't merge the two sections and there options, just change the device. And yes, this works! And with the new kernel, I also have sound working! There must be some file corrupt in the old kernel image. Thanks, Toni!

Next thing on the list is following the Gentoo Power Management Guide, when I have some time.
