New hosting
I have moved this blog from tumblr to my own server. Its runs on a minimalistic blog engine that I have written myself. The blog engine and the layout are still a bit rough around the edges, so please contact me if you find any problems.

Belgium media and police still not entirely sure just how the internetz work...
I was quite shocked this morning when I read on deredactie.be about a terror alert aimed at a local school in the Belgium city "Mechelen". A total of 333 police agents where dispatched, 9 arrest where made and there was even a helicopter circling the airspace in search of possible killers.
Only later this day I learned that the source of all this commotion, was a message posted on 4chan.org saying: “293 days to go until I strike at KTA Lyceum Mechelen, watch the news”.
That's correct, 4chan the internet community famous for several internet memes like Rick'Roll, Chocolate Rain, the Sarah Palin email hack, spamming YouTube with porn, claiming Steve Job died of a heart attack, spamming the swastika symbol into Google Hot Trends, the Project Chanology, the pedo bear, threatening to bomb several football stadiums with dirty bombs, posting pictures of mock pipe bombs, and several other 'joke' threads.
Well on this 4chan someone threatens to harm a school almost 9 months after the posting the actual message on a site that could be considered the social dumpster of the internet. The only thing this overreaction the can ensure is just more jokes of 4chan….
I just added a comment system to my blog...
From now on you can post comment on this blog thank to the friendly people of Disqus. Adding Disqus to Tumblr (or any other bog system for that matter) is very simple, and I can't recommend enough to anyone who wants to add comments to his/her blog.
PS The comment section's layout is still a bit ugly, I will fix that later...
Color Masks
The color masks of the camera are working correctly now...
