Brixen, here we come
This weekend, we booked our skiing trip for next year.
On Friday, February 11, Irene and I will get on the bus to Brixen im Thale, Austria.
We booked our trip online, through GoGo Tours. The arrangement includes the hotel (7 nights, half-board), ski pass for 7 days, and the bus trip.
Well, there’s not much more to say right now. I can tell you more when we’re back, of course.
I can only say that I’m very much looking forward to going skiing again.
And as this will be our first winter sports holiday together, we’re very curious as to how it will go. But we’re both looking forward to skiing together and it will certainly be great!
Keyboard error
Do you ever forget to plug in your keyboard after you’ve been fumbling inside your computer? For example, you’ve just upgraded your pc’s memory, put everything back together, connect the cables, turn on the machine and find out you forgot the keyboard? Or simply because you connect the power cable first and the computer somehow immediately boots up, before you’ve had the chance to connect the other cables? Sounds familiar? Or am I the only one? 
Anyway, when your computer boots with no keyboard attached, you get an error like this:
Keyboard error: press <F1> to continue or <F2> to enter setup.
Please tell me how!
Mem: 3104356K total
I just upgraded my work pc!
I added two Kingston KVR266X72RC25/1024’s. That is, two 1GB 266MHz DDR PC2100 Reg ECC DIMM CL2.5 memory modules, giving me a total of 3 gigabytes of RAM.
Let’s hope this will keep me from running out of memory so often…
Homepage makeover
I just put my new homepage online. I did a complete refurbishment of it.
I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time, and already did some experiments to try to get the correct layout. Using tables it’s not so hard – just a lot of HTML code. But since tables should not be used to layout document content, and “authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables”, according to the W3C, I wanted to redo the layout using DIVs. That took me some time to work out, but I finally got it, just the way I want to. In a real browser, that is. It’s amazing to see how Microsoft Internet Explorer can f*ck up the layout. This is what my homepage looks like in IE, and this is what it should look like. Well, maybe I’ll sort it out some time. If you have a great idea, please let me know.
