Regarding PC cases, I’m very classic. Whatever the color, they have to stay under the desk and not to make too much noise. I’m not impressed by modified cases (which looks often ugly, IMHO). The following video shows a real Doom 3 addict who tuned a standard PC case.

Welcome to blanmont.be!
On MiniVille, you can create your own city and manage it! Do you remember SimCity (first released in 1989!) ? With the MiniVille Flash application, you’ll have to manage your own city. Of course, not all features of SimCity are available but it’s quite funny when you’ve some time to
Events centralization: the normalization problem
In a previous article, I talked about SIEM. SIEM is not for small organizations. But, if you really need to analyze logs, the first step is to concentrate them in one central place. The syslog standard is available on almost all devices having IP connectivity (routers, switches, servers, appliances) and
Speakers management by Vista
Recently, I bought a new notebook. My wife complained for a while about our good old Armada E500. I found a very interesting promotion for a Packard Bell notebook with a up-to-date configuration: Dual-core/2GB of RAM. Just enough to run the new Vista GUI (“Aero”). It’s time to use the
Belgium against technology?
One more time, the French part of Belgium (La Communauté Francaise de Belgique) decided to ban webcams from day-care centers (“crêches” in French)!

SABAM .vs. ISP – Round Two!
A few days ago, Scarlet lost a lawsuit against the SABAM. Last week, other Belgian ISPs received a letter from the same organization asking them to filter the P2P applications. I don’t want to start a new debate over copy of copyrighted data but… when those guys will realize that
When security means pains?
There were already devices activated by finger recognition (external disk [1], USB keys). Now, new toys are coming with… iris authentication! Rehobothtech proposes a new USB key with iris authentication to enable the devices! I just would like to know how to enable the device once plugged behind your notebook
Justice .vs. P2P : 1 – 0
The SABAM (Société Belge des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Editeurs) sent a press-release regarding a judgement against the Belgian ISP Tiscali (aka Scarlet). The Brussels court gave reason to SABAM and will force Tiscali to block P2P traffic! The Belgian Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers (SABAM) has just won an
