Mental Health and NL Ubuntu Forums

ubuntu-logo32

I know, I know, I don’t normally post anything in Dutch on my site but I’m making an exception this time since it’s specifically aimed at a group of Dutch people. I have no idea what an online translation service would turn this into but I bet it would be hilarious. Ik kreeg onlangs een e-mail met daarin een aantal forum posts welke in een Nederlands Ubuntu (http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/offtopic) support forum gepost zijn. Ik heb door de jaren heen wel eens het een en ander aan vreemde veronderstellingen en uiterst ongeïnformeerde uitspattingen gezien maar deze posts lijken het tot een compleet nieuw niveau weten te tillen. Op een of andere manier zijn een paar compleet ongeïnformeerde figuren daar helemaal overtuigd van hun eigen paranoïde waanbeeld dat ik daar in het forum links naar mijn site loop te posten. Op zich verbaasd me dat niet helemaal daar er in de afgelopen decennia best wel een aantal mensen en bedrijven zijn geweest die zich via de foto’s van mijn office(s) of voor mij hebben uitgegeven danwel hebben getracht de indruk te wekken dat het hun office was of op een of andere manier er bij betrokken zijn geweest. Een kleine collectie daarvan is te vinden op http://officethieves.com/.

Mac OSX Experiences From The Dark Side

September 9, 2010 by Stefan Didak 3 Comments
Stefan Didak Home Office Version 6

Yes, it’s true. Get over it already. I bought an Apple Macintosh. A 27 inch 2.93Ghz Quad Core i7 with 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, and HD5750-1GB. I understand this has caused several people to exhibit signs of severe confusion because I’m really mostly known as a “Windows Guy” (more appropriately, a .NET guy). For a little while I’ll refrain from posting any pictures, though. Wouldn’t want people to die from either laughter or heart-attacks.

An Apple Fundamentalist in the wild. They still exist!

June 7, 2008 by Stefan Didak
Apple

Back in the day there were the PC zealots, a common creature often found bashing and insulting hardware by manufacturers who believed in proprietary hardware designs. And of course there were the Amiga and Atari fanatics that represented two other groups where certain sections of these different groups were always at each other’s throats about who had the better hardware. And, let’s not forget the Apple zealots. Most of these fundamentalist fanatics died out and faded into the background during the late 80’s and early 90’s as their religious sacraments that came in the form of material objects found their way into obsoleteness (or a museum, in many cases).

SniperX: Office Impersonator

Stefan Didak Home Office Version 5

This is hillarious. Someone going around on some web forum and calling himself SniperX has been passing off my home office as his ‘gaming rig’. Check out what he’s been writing. Of course, what SniperX hasn’t realized is the fact that my office is famous enough that a lot of people have seen it and can spot someone representing it as their own. Bruno was kind enough to call out SniperX on his “bull manure” and bust him. The best part is when SniperX writes about his reason for posting images of my office, in his own words “people did not believe me when i told them my make and model of machine, so i posted it”. OK, that’s enough entertainment for me today.

Battle of the Offices : Ballmer vs. Didak

February 8, 2007 by Stefan Didak 15 Comments
Steve Ballmer's Office

Someone just sent me a link explaining that over in Russia there is a competition going whereby my Home Office is being compared with that of Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer. Unfortunately I can’t read a single word of Russian so I’ve got no clue what the battle of the offices is about but I thought it was rather hillarious! See for yourself! There are, of course, other people who fell for the Russian joke and actually do think that this is Mr. Ballmer’s office. Unfortunately (for Steve!), he probably wouldn’t feel very much at home in my office… there are computers here that run Linux, you see. That might be too much to handle and cope with.
