Bastiaan en Lily's blog

Yet again it's proved what a weird and wonderful place the internet is. We're not sure yet what happened but it seemed that someone installed some malicous tunneling software on our server, god only knows what sortah trouble these guys where up to.

We had to shut some parts of the server down in order to clean up the mess and change some things hopefully to prevent a repeat. Unfortunately that meant my site and some others where down for a while.

Looks like we're back up :)

Couple of days late but I still want to wish everyone a Happy Newyear! We've had a busy couple of days and I have many more busy days ahead of me... Hope to have time for my little blog again soon...

Last weekend we were walking around the Lane Cove Plaza and there was a little fair going on. One of the expositions was Chris Tudor's Christmas photoshoot stand. We had him take a few pictures of Blake and talked to him that we've wanted to do a small family photoshoot for a little while. From one thing came another and on Monday we were at his home taking pictures which turned out to be a very pleasant experience.

Whow, this was a hefty week on the subject of Dutch Tax. My heart sank to an absolute low in the middle of the week but the end result seems to be a positive conclusion after all.

I'm sure one could write a book on ATM interfaces and how bad they are. I'm not going to do that though the realization as an IT person is that I rather have people who haven't got an inkling of proper interfaces but are geniusses on safeguarding electronic money transfers writing the ATM software then the other way around :)

I'm just going to rant a few lines on a very simple thing that not only applies to ATMs but to many other scenarios as well..
