Since it happened to fit in my travel schedule, tomorrow evening I will be taking part in what is rumoured to be the world's first ICT quiz. (I'm sure it's not really - why only last month I was partaking in a hardcore geek open source quiz at the Open Source In Mobile event in Madrid, with such brainracking questions as "where does the name EMACS come from" or "what was the first computer game". But I digress).
Anyway, I am going with my long-time fellow Apestaart compadres, and since we're supposed to be a team of 5, we asked diehard mac-head Robbie Delaere (of URGent and Studentenjaren en Jambers fame) to round out our team. Two Unix heads (of which one a die hard quizzer), two Windows heads, and a Mac head - like Fons says, if we don't win, it's because the questions were wrong.

I forgot one of my other favourites: puñalada. From a song: amar sin ser amada es una puñalada. Ain't that the truth.
Since I messed up my Catalan favorite, here's another one - boig per tu. The g is more pronounced like the x in xocolate.

- vaivén
- bocabierto
- tiburón
Favourite Catalan words: ticis micis
UPDATE: I should open a dictionary before posting. It's actually boquabierto (even though I think the word for mouth is boca), and it's tiquis miquis, and apparently also exists in Spanish. At least I got the accents right on vaivén and tiburón. Thanks for the commenters correcting me. For Fons: vaivén is equivalent to "komen en gaan".

A few hours of triaging and my personal INBOX is back to 0 mails, after 10 days of holiday.
My work INBOX got smashed down from 5000 to 150 over the last two days, but still some work to do.
0 mail INBOX is addictive once you actually get the hang of getting it under control and have a system in place for dealing with mails.

A while back someone (you know who you are) mailed me to say that a script I wrote saved his ass under a deadline.
For some strange reason the prostitute in me won and replied
If you want to restore your karma, please do something nice for someone
else and tell me about it, or alternatively (I feel like a dick for
saying this :)) see http://thomas.apestaart.org/presents/
I felt really dirty, but it was worth a shot.
Today, I got a mail back:
It took a while but I finally got around to browsing your wishlist! This looked fun so I got it, it should be on the way from the US:
I LIKE FOOD, FOOD TASTES GOOD: IN THE KITCHEN WITH YOUR FAVORITE BANDS
Hot dang ! I'm going to take out the prostitute in me and buy her something nice so she comes out more often. Looking forward to getting that book, it looked cool when I added it to my list!
