del.icio.us power tag filtering
In an attempt to ease the filtering of del.icio.us bookmarks, I have created a more flexible interface than the current "+" operator in use at the main site. Update: Unfortunately this site is long gone. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Constantine - The real story
Constantine, the newest in a series of graphic novels going to the cinema, is the longest anti-smoking advertisement I've ever seen. There you go. It's probably the first movie ever to have the surgeon general as the main sponsor, as they constantly fire away cheap shots at how bad and just plain stupid smoking is. Even the horrible, horrible last scene is devoted to the evils of smoking.

The road to driving, part 6
Something like two weeks ago I got a message from DRIRE that they were still missing the "notice descriptive du type". I had already submitted the requested information to SAAB France, so naturally I emailed them to know what was up. They said they remember the query to get the forms, but claimed that they had never been returned. So they faxed me a new copy. This, of course, took some time filling in, especially since none of the technical terms in the forms were explained (e.g. "CH"). A few days after mailing them (they didn't want the results by fax), I got a message back saying that the form was incomplete. As far as I could read with my bad French, they wanted the following:
-
The Key to Hell
-
Jewellery with stone
-
Dart
-
Dart board

The road to driving, part 5
Called the Lyon police in the end of November and got an appointment. Unfortunately, the clutch gave in just a few days before the meeting, so I had to postpone it until after Christmas. January 6 I called again, and got a meeting the next day.

Catch 22 in an email only world
After playing through Half-Life 2, I had a look at the Steam forums to check out the pending bugfixes, screenshots, and wallpapers. Some of the posts warranted a reply, so I went to the registration page and submitted the necessary data.

The Internet generation
Sometime when I was younger, I heard that generations normally shift with 30 years' interval. So either I was just on the "old" side of the last shift, or the generations are changing faster now than my parents' lore would have it.
