  • Netscape

    If you are old enough you may remember Netscape and their browser that made the World Wide Web accessible for everyone. There is a nice documentary about these early beginnings of the www, Netscape and the ‘war’ between Microsoft to bring out the most popular web browser.

  • Saisaki

    Went for dinner at Saisaki in Werchter some time ago. We had seen it passing by in the car a few times and planned to try it out some time. We had ‘our’ typical menu with Edamame and Gyoza for starters and then a sushi boat. Quality was good but not exceptional, but the atmosphere in the place is nice with wooden floors and elsewhere as you can see on the picture. Definitely better interior decoration compared to Wabi Sabi in Bonheiden or Isana in Haacht that have a cantine-like interior not very inviting to spend a lot of time…

  • Markdown Basics

    In my search for a good way to digitise my notes with equations I have come across Markdown as an option. Jupyter Notebooks support it so this may be a promising solution. It is another ‘language’ to learn but at least the basics not related to equations are extremely simple. Headings in Mardown start with a # sign. 1 #for the largest heading#, 2 ##signs for a slightly smaller one## and so on. To start a new paragraph type 2 spaces followed by enter. Italic text is surround by * symbols like *italic*, bold text by 2 ** like **bold**…

  • Italië

    ‘De begeerte om dit land te zien was overrijp; pas nu ze bevredigd is, krijg ik mijn vrienden en vaderland weer innig lief en wordt mijn terugkeer wenselijk, en wel temeer omdat ik het stellige gevoel heb dat ik zovele schatten niet tot eigen bezit en eigen gebruik meeneem, maar dat ze mij en anderen gedurende het hele leven als richtsnoer en stimulans zullen dienen.‘― Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

  • Think Different

    ‘Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holees. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who…
