Inactivity strikes again!

Yes, yes… I haven’t posted anything for about 2 months now. I’ve been playing too much Counterstrike: Source and Team Fortress 2. TF2? Yes! I bought that game recently and I must say I like it. I really love the cartoon-ish graphic style. I’ve also been playing some Tibia, on Libera. I started as a […]

Why I like the Nintendo Wii

My brother has bought a Nintendo Wii not so long ago and I must say that it was a great choice to buy it. I just love to play those old NES console games on the Nintendo Wii. Even N64 games are supported. I’ve already been playing some SMB1 and Mario 64. I think Paper Mario […]

Nuker’s Ubuntu 7.10 Log

So I decided to put the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop, a Toshiba L40 -12k. I only stumbled upon a few problems. As usual WLAN didn’t worked out of the box and somehow my keyboard layout was messed up.
I fixed my keyboard layout by reinstalling Ubuntu and setting it
to US English instead of NL Dutch. Now I just need to fix my
WLAN Certificate.

Bored?

What to do when you’re bored? That’s a question I ask myself daily, and every day I stumble upon things which are fun to do/watch when you’re bored. One of those things is explosm.net’s comedy: Cyanide and Happiness. The theme’s are somewhat adult rated, yet they are rather funny. Check it out below!

Cyanide & […]

Ubuntu 7.10

As I’ve said in one of my previous posts. I’m going to put Linux on my laptop. I’ve decided to wait until Ubuntu 7.10 will be released. Which will be in about 2 days. This new version of Ubuntu has some new features. Such as GNOME 2.20 and Compiz Fusion. It also features a desktop […]

I’ve recently bought a new laptop, a Toshiba L40-12k to be exact. It’s a really nice laptop but I don’t really appreciate Windows Vista on laptops. For some reason it just doesn’t work out. That’s why I’m considering to try the new Ubuntu release, which is a Linux distribution, on my laptop. I just hope […]

Pub, War and Stats

As you know I’ve been playing Counterstrike: Source with the [GoT] Clan. We got our own public- (pub.gotcss.net) and war-server (war.gotcss.net). We also got HLSTATSX running on our public, you should check out the stats some time. I’m a little bit of a statswhore, so I do love this HLSTATSX plug-in. Feel free to join the […]

Nuker’s Study

Recently I’ve been with my study. I’m studying ‘Technical Computer Science’ and the amount of self study is insane. This leaves me with little to no spare time. So that’s why I’ve been inactive; on this blog, on my forums, everywhere. I expect to be more active next week. By the way, I have a […]

What’s Up?

I guess you have been wondering why I havn’t been posting much the last couple of days. Well, that’s because of college. Yes, college! It’s time to study once again, my holidays are over. What do I study, you ask? Computer Science! And I must say I do enjoy it a lot, so far. Other […]
