New chairs

Today my chairs arrived at the store. So now I finally have a dining table with 4 chairs instead of 2 that constantly fall :D
Time to play a game of magic again!

Amazon S3 SLA!

Today I discovered that Amazon is finally providing an SLA of 99.9% availability. That means max 43 minutes downtime each month.

I think this will be a something a lot of businesses will like. It's kinda hard to sell "I don't know what happens if it goes down" :) And that's what I've been reading on some mailinglists / forums / blogs too.

Outback Jack or Outback Luke?

I've just read the latest posts of my good friend Sander van Velzen. The project he has been working on the last couple of weeks are ending soon. I'm not really a fan of that kind of television shows, but I really enjoyed beauty and the nerd, temptation island, and I think the other one was called who wants to marry a millionaire? Usually I only like the first season

Hmmm blogspot does not support trackbacks. Oh well, here's the link to some pictures.

Wharfedale Loudpanels

Last week I bought 2 pairs of Loudpanels by Wharfedale on eBay. I was a bit skeptic about the sound quality at first, because a Wharfedale dealer in Rotterdam told me they didn't really sound very well, and that the product was discontinued (That wasn't the reason though).

Loudpanels are speakers in a picture frame (about 40x50cm). You can put your own photo / poster / whatever in the frame. "No more ugly speakers" for most people, but the only speakers I had were a pair of Behringer Truth monitors at my computer.

The sound quality is pretty much like your average hifi-set. I'm still listening to all sorts of music, but so far they've exceeded my expectations. And that for only 70 euro per pair!
