My employer, Nokia, announced this week that it is reorganizing Nokia Research Center. The why and how of this operation is explained in the press release.
I learned this on Tuesday along with all my colleagues and have since been finding out how this will affect me. I can of course not comment on any organizational [...]
I just made a few changes that effectively retires the static portion of my website. For several years I had a nice, funky, handcrafted, css styled bit of html living at www.jillesvangurp.com and publications.jillesvangurp.com. The design has been more or less the same since 2003 and the content was not evolving much either. Actually, most [...]
Also tagged createdbyjillesI liked sandbox so much, I looked up the guys homepage at plaintxt.org and found out he has much more goodies. Including the very nice Barthelme theme which has all the benefits of the sandbox theme + better looks. So here it goes ….
Also taggedI recently got a new phone for testing purposes which is equiped with our new open source browser, wifi, a full keyboard and a nice screen with pretty good resolution (it’s the Nokia E70). Anyway, my regular photo site contains a nice collection of pictures but is a bit too heavy for this otherwise nice [...]
Also tagged nokiaI use this nice browser extension called forecastfox that notifies you of the weather outside. Today it came up with an icon I had never seen before and that people in most parts of the world will never see. It’s really cold outside (-22) and forecastfox has an icon for that :-).

Yep, no more comments on this site. I found my mail box full with so-called comment spam. I don’t feel like looking for elaborate half working blocking solutions so I took the easy way out.
Update. Apparently pivot doesn’t actually deny access to the comments but merely omits printing the form and the comments. Of [...]
I received a 9 euro bill for bandwidth usage. A quick look at stats.jillesvangurp.com confirmed that a bunch of assholes has been downloading the frontpage of my site, a lot. As in enough to exceed 11GB.
Well the worst of those bastards have now been added to my .htaccess file. Hopefully that will put [...]
Apparently the pornsites have found my site and are now unleashing their stupid tools on it in order to get their links in my referrer thingy. I’ve been getting thousands of hits from domains with such words as ‘rape’ and ‘perversion’ in them. Presumably this is intended to improve their google rankings. Anyway I [...]
