  • Blogging a seasonal occupation. An update.

    2009 Jun 16

    There is little news to write of in this update. But I feel the urge to blog and also the need to let you know that, though my blogs are quiet, I am not skiving off work. Not much has changed since the last update. Writing on the book of essays and translating the children’s stories [...]

  • Activity update

    2009 Jun 05

    As my blogging activity is at an all time low at the moment, you might be forgiven to think I am resting on laurels I haven’t yet earned. No such luck. Well, I say that but I thoroughly enjoy my ‘work’. The laurels are safely stashed away in some closet I do not have the [...]

  • Exciting times at tdaonp

    2009 May 27

    Today I received an email from lulu.com: “Congratulations, your book has been selected for listing on Amazon.com’s Marketplace!” Now that is exciting news. Of course I went to the Amazon.com website and typed my name in the search bar. Lo and behold there were three of my books on the Amazon.com marketplace. I have no idea [...]

  • A story better left untold

    2009 May 07

    A little warning: this story may be shocking to some readers. Please read at your own risk. “You are a marked man,” Robert said. He was sitting across from me at the rickety table. “Marked and as good as dead.” He shifted his weight, or what was left of it and the chair he sat on creaked. [...]

  • The man that was not

    2009 Apr 29

    The first time I met him I was told his name was Morgan. As I found out later he might just as well have said Johnson, or Wright, or Preston. His name was of no consequence. I met him at an embassy party where I was attending on personal invitation by the ambassador. In fact [...]

  • The book. Part two: the circle comes around

    2009 Apr 22

    It has been two months since the book has come into my possession. Since then the book has come to possess me. I write this on the last page of the book, which is blank as if for this purpose, using my own blood and a sharp shard of rock. Not because I want to [...]

  • The book. Part one: the book store

    2009 Jan 14

    Whenever I visit a city I love to wander. No guide books and a retirement of the sense of direction. So it was when I visited A—. The medieval city had the perfect make up for roaming. Market and cathedral squares connected by narrow alleyways. On the outskirts of the old town the alleyways had [...]

  • Happy go lucky (2008)

    2009 May 19

    Directed by: Mike Leigh A recent film on atyoukid this time. We saw this film on Sunday last and it left us speechless. The title, tag lines and advertising around this film might make you think it is a light comedy with little substance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, it is a comedy [...]

  • Falling Down (1993)

    2009 Apr 21

    Directed by Joel Schumacher When falling down came out in 1993 I saw the trailer on the BBC Film Programme with Barry Norman. Back then the Internet had not yet evolved into the multimedia streaming network it is now (anyone remember ‘browsing’ with Mosaic), so film news was still delivered by public broadcast services like the [...]

  • Howl’s moving castle (2004)

    2009 Apr 07

    Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Japanese title: Hauru no ugoku shiro Hayao Miyazaki has not yet featured on te atyoukid blog. Which is a blatant ommission as his films feature many an evening in our household. Although he himself professes to be a great admirer of Disney films (as shown in one of the extra features on one [...]

  • Nochnoy dozor (night watch, 2004)

    2009 Mar 20

    Directed by Timur Bekmambetov If you can not stand the site of blood, do not watch this film. If on the other hand you can or are nimble enough with the eyelids, I highly recommend you do watch this masterpiece. I have watched it three times now and can’t wait for the rest of the trilogy [...]

  • Mighty mouse scroll ball cleaning

    2009 Mar 11

    Pre-face: try this one at your own risk. Although this goes for all tips I give, this one really could break your mouse if you are not careful. It’s a little bit hit and miss. I did this twice now and both times it worked fine. The mighty mouse has fans and haters. I like this [...]

  • Scratched discs? Apply some toothpaste

    2009 Feb 25

    Problem: scratched game disc for PS 2 crashes game Status: solved but with the proviso that it won’t solve the problem every time. Use with care! Recently I treated myself to a Playstation 2 game. The fact that it was Burnout Revenge is neither here nor there. The fact that the disc did not work properly however, [...]

  • Self inflicted printer server woes

    2009 Feb 23

    Problem: USB printer server incompatible with printer and operating system. Status: solved. Our old but venerable Mac G4 (single processor 466 digital audio version) has been serving its twilight years as our trusty file and printer server. However times are changing rapidly and disk space is becoming cheap and much needed. So we decided the time had [...]
