a birthday thing

Years ago, I would attempt to take the day off on my birthday, it was some kind of self reward on that special (!!??) day.

In the end, it's really only a milestone, just like driving on a long road to somewhere, while those little white stones whizz by on the side of the road, telling you how far you already drove.

Depending on how fast they follow each other, you might be driving too fast



What is today's day made of?

• Setting up and fine-tuning a Powerpoint presentation I am delivering tomorrow as the final part of a job application (important self-reminder: TALK SLOOOOOWLY);


• online tip of the day: You just found a page (a blog, an artist homepage, etc...) with a download link to an MP3 file and you want to listen to it? Install a Greasemonkey Inline Mp3 Player script that will create a little [play] link next to the mp3 file and stream the song directly from the page. note: Largeheartedboy already includes a Yahoo inline player on its page;


• in combination with the previous bullet: CoastIsClear just made my morning a little bit brighter with some great indie proposals;


• welcoming with a big smile all the birthday wishes (thank you all for that);


• watching my much admired security talk presenter, Mikko Hypponen (in the hope I get some inspiration);


• while researching a bit about presentations (and how to deliver them the best way possible), I found the latest Where the hell is Matt video (the scene in Munich is shown at 2:18) .

Who/what is also celebrating/being celebrated today? Canada day, Princess Diana, Dan Akroyd and last but not least, Pamela Anderson (who is canadian btw).
