I blogged about the LaCie Bigger Disk earlier: it’s a 1 Terrabyte external disk-box. There’s a 1.6 Terrabyte external disk (4 x 400 Gigabyte internally) now and it’s from IO Data. It’s more expensive than 2 Lacie Bigger disks, but it’s a lot smaller: it has the size of shoebox.

Thanks /.

I had a little email-conversation with Speedlinq about their new subscription price. I pay €75/month for a All-in 8064 connection (8064 down/1024 up) already for about a year, but their new price is only €55/month. And they have a special offer: the first 3 months for even less.

They offered me to change the subscription from All-in 8064 (old price) to All-in 8064 (new price) for the small sum of €70! So including the not-given special price that would cost me more than €100 to get a cheaper subscription.

I told them exactly that, and that switching to another provider would cost me nothing.

They came back to me and offered to change the subscription for free. No special offer, but at least no extra charges as well. Of course I agreed to the offer.

No, I will not update my links to make them PocketPC compatible, since they allready are. Use AvantGO, like I do, and you can read these pages on your PocketPC powered device (like my iPaq 3870) wherever you want…

Now stop filling up my referer-hits: if you don’t like it here, don’t come here.

Thanks for listening.

update: The creator of Feederreader has read this post, and is actually working with me (via a conversation that can be followed in the comments of this post) to give Feederreader-users a better reading experience on their PocketPC. Ain’t blogging great?

Microsoft has put together a special edition (I guess that’s how they came up with the name for it) of Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003. Not only does it include VS.NET Pro 2003, but also Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition), SQL Server 2000 (Developer Edition) and the Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office. All for the upgrade price of US$549 or a full price of US$799. I guess that basically means that you get the Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2000 and the Studio Tools for Office for free.

This is the link the Dutch Microsoft pages about this special edition.
