Happy 3-Year Anniversary Megan

Today Megan and I have been married for 3 years now. It seems a little weird to me that this was already 3 years ago. It definitely doesn’t feel like that long ago.

Now three years after we  got married we are very happy together. Right now we are both still in bed ‘nerding’ on our respective devices (me on the EEE PC and Megan on her Nokia E71) blogging about this joyous event.

Today is going to be a we’ll-do-whatever-the-heck -we- wanna-do day. (or at least I think that’s the plan ;)). Hopefully it will be fun fun fun. 🙂

I love you, my sweet N<3Rd. Happy anniversary, 😉

I am at work now, but I have some trouble staying focussed on my tasks. I can’t wait to drive it home again. 😉

Shockingly Big IE6 Warning: a Wake-up Call

Sometimes you come across something interesting on Twitter, like this “Shockingly Big IE6 Warning” plug-in. All it does is give you a warning when you are still using IE6. The plug-in features various display options and can actually make the IE6 browser crash. (Don’t be using that, boys ‘n’ girls; it’s unethical)

Anyway, since I had to rant on how IE6 should just die already, I thought I’d install it and put in my small effort to the cause. 😉

Trading in my Starlet for an… X-trail?!

Can this be right? I am trading my cute little Toyota Starlet in for an X-trail? Well yes and no. I am getting the X-trail (in the most literal sense of the word “getting”) and I have a Starlet I need to get rid of (because having 2 cars is too expensive for me).

So how did this all come to be.
