Bart Vanhauwaert’s Kieswijzer, as plugged by LVB, is my favorite one so far—compared to Doe de stemtest and Kieskompas. It’s based on concrete issues, with balanced answers. I’m willing to let the fact that the guy misspelled “Lijst Dedecker” slide, since my profile turned out to be pretty much spot on.
I hope CBS buying out Last.fm will mean the end of their Web 1.9 design and an overhaul in the scrobbling API. Specifically, if I listen to a 30-minute track by the same artist, I expect it to influence my music profile more than a 2-minute interlude.
So I’ve got my first exam tomorrow. I think it’ll go well, because it’s Mathematics III, and we all know that math can be fun. I am however not looking forward to Algorithms & Data Structures I next Monday and Tuesday. Since I’m hoping to pass the other subjects, however, my best bet is that I’ll pass thanks to deliberation. Anyway, wish me luck.
So, Doe de stemtest wasn’t very surprising. I like how elaborate the whole thing once again is though, while keeping it fairly accessible. I’m all for bridges between politics and Joe Sixpack. Once again, my result would be accurate if it weren’t for cartels. But I’m at peace with that. And De Standaard got it right.
Right. I was getting sick of scrolling through PDF documents while studying, so I gave in and bought an entry-level HP LaserJet 1018. Its warranty period’s only a year and it’d better last well longer than that. After having 3 inkjets die on me—namely an HP 690C, an HP 710C and an Epson C86—I’m going with lasers now. Don’t ask me why I got an HP after not one but two mishaps. I guess I just like to live on the wild side. So far, it appears to be working. And the pages are toasty when they roll out, so that’s a nice bonus.
