A little update

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I last posted here so this little update is long due. I’ve been getting a LOT of responses to this little post here, and I want to thank specifically a person called James for responding to many comments that I haven’t commented on myself. I’ve not been keeping up with those as good as I should have. Sorry about that. Although I am …

People tell me I’m a funny guy

People tell me I’m a funny guy. And I know I can be funny. I don’t know where it comes from or why I do it, but it’s just something that helps me to get through my life or something. A coping mechanism, perhaps? So I got that going for me, which is nice. Here’s a lovely article I would like you to read. I’m only doing this to prove …

On the Instagramz

I caved in, again. I created a new account on the Instagramz. My previous account was hacked, and it made it so that I was following thousands of people I didn’t want to follow. So I disabled the account, made a new temporary one in the meantime, and now that my previous account name became available again I re-opened ustoopia at the Instagramz. Not sure yet if I’ll be using …

I was there! God, I feel old right now

Here’s a video from the TV-news in 1994 about the traffic chaos problems around Eindhoven, the Netherlands caused by the hard-rock festival Dynamo Open Air that was visited by 125.000 people. Looking at the video now makes me feel ancient because I was at this festival with two good friends when I was in my puberty, and it all looks so dated looking at it now. I must say it …

A quest to see the world for what it is

Let me tell you about Laurens. He’s a young Dutch guy with a fresh family, and I know him because he also plays the game World of Warcraft. He became a member of our guild for a while, and we had the opportunity to get to know him through Discord. Furthermore, he is an intelligent young man, with a great sense of humor, and he also carries the ADHD label …

Celebrate Life by ID&T

I just saw this video below, and I found it to be very positive and inspiring. It’s about a company I “stumbled upon” about 20 years ago, and eventually it transformed in to something more meaningful than “just a company I knew of”. It’s difficult to describe. Let’s just say I’m thankful and proud that I had the privilege to be part of a unique youth culture that did not …

Time flies when you’re geeking out

I’ve been really busy these last few weeks setting up all sorts of IT related things since I moved to a new home with a 500 Mbps fiber connection to the mother-milk-tit we call the internet. I was really getting into learning all there is to know about the 100% free Sophos UTM for Home use. But when I messed up the whole configuration and basically broke it, I decided …
