Greetings everyone
so today is my last day in austria. I am currently taking a break from packing the luggage.
It has been great here. the last week was pretty hectic. Parties had to be done, I needed to get all the paperwork and stamps from the school, prepare for my trip home.
It was hard. but know I have everything and it is a mere matter of catching my plane.
Also did a lot of fun stuff this last week.
On tuesday I went to Linz with carina. very beautiful city and we also visited the alps. well the beginning of it.
Normally we would climb them aswell but we were a bit short on time. It was a great day. I really got an austrian feeling there, and the air there was wonderful. Since I have astma I really notice pollution in the air and I could breath there. fantastic
then I also had a party at my flat. That was ... different. I had a little drinking contest with martin. Whiskey cola. First time I had whiskey btw. So after 5 glasses I just crashed. I was beat.
But martin was fine! he didn't have anything. He rigged the drinks. has to be. He just had cola. I had the whiskey with some cola for color. Yup, that's it.
Then yesterday there was also a party at domus. Was also very fun. met some new people.
That stuff always happens on the last day. It's pretty hard to say : nice meeting you, see you never again.
Oh well. Guess I'll live.
for the project, everything goes along great. I got my grades on the internship. 17/20
not bad eh.
Well i'm off now. have some more packing to do.
I will report back on wednesday, then I know if I passed the entire year and then I can tell how the jury on monday went.
greetings!

Hurr ruurrr
So greetings!
Well last time I talked about the BBQ, didn't happen..
It was raining freakin sideways! I think my oh it hurts.. post overdid it a bit.
I did attend a little party on thursday, spent the evening at mau's place, drinking white wine with cola. wasn't that bad. hits like a hammer after an hour though.
it was great. played some drunken darts, Ended up second. and I didn't throw it into anyone's eye.
not that I know of but hey.
The weekend was pretty hectic. It turned out my thesis was due last monday while I thought it was the 16th. Yeah great going steve. you genius. Turns out that was the date my girlfriend had to deliver her thesis... woops..
Anyway! so for this week. deploying the Squid! I'm really excited about it. I've been running a test config for weeks now so I don't expect any major difficulties but you never know with software. then for the weekend I'll be attending Novarock!
It's going to be awesome. They do foresee a lot of rain but that might be a benefit on a festival. I am worried about my camera though ... we'll see , stay optimistic as marion told me. which is a good idea. but you should ask yourself how optimistic can you be without it turning into being pure hopefull.
I mean being optimistic is like going to the store and thinking that the whole cart won't be more then 80 €.
But going out with a girl thinking you'll get some tonight if hopefull..
yeah I'm deep as the ocean baby!
you probably won't see me till next monday orso so I bid you farewell, be good and have fun :-D

Long overdue
So greetings everyone
been a long long looong time since I made a post. but i'm going to make up for by a long post.
So what have I been up to lately. well nothing out of the extraordinary. I took a trip with the ISN to burgenland. Not as cool as it sounds but it was a very beautiful environment. you find some pictures and movies on the links to the right. Feel free to have a look. Once we were there we took a bike trip through the vineyards and those things are huge. also because of the hot weather that day I got a bit of a sunburn. nothing too bad but enough to get me some red skin and irritations for a few days. the boat trip was ... different. the boat would take us up a lake , and cross the hungarian border. very beautiful view and the wind was awesome. especially if you're burned :-D
then we also got a BBQ on the boat. good meat! and free wine. this was a bit of set back for me. I don't really like wine but I do like free stuff so I had 5 glasses. and I was in good shape. well statistics for that trip: 16-18 ISN people, 2 hour boat trip. 12 bottles of wine. Yeah, not bad huh.
well we paid 30€ for that trip. that includes lunch, the bikes, the boat, the BBQ and the bus trip there and back. We had to earn that money SOMEWHERE. and the idea of picking wine grapes for 30€ did not appeas me. Well not in their unprocessed form :-)
As for the rest, the usual. watch some movies. hang out. take a little walk and work.
Speaking of work that is going awesome. I completed the bulk of the project so now I'm throwing in some new shiny features like a Perl script that has some of the more common queries for the database and gets them for you at the press of a button.
Well the idea behind it is simpel. the more you do yourself, the less an other person can fuck up.
Also a big achievement I'm kind off proud of is my SQLDaemon script. the Perl script opens a FIFO, waits for input and when it comes , formats the input and inserts them into the database and then waits for some more input. It's like a taiwanese hooker when the navy is in town!
Squid doesn't support databases by default so I had to make a work around for it that proved to be quite stable.which is a good thing. Should anyone out there want the script for making Squid write to a PostgreSQL database... let me know. It might not be the best coding but it works and you don't have to do it anymore.
Currently it's only 4 more weeks and then back to home. Although St Pölten is a pretty dull city I will miss it. the easy going here got me kind off attached.
There are a few events planned for this week and the next.
wednesday there will be a BBQ for the ISN students, free. So I'm going .. duh!
I'm planning on inviting some friends here for a movie night or a drinking party or something. I'm hoping that there will be a party soon and then we can warm up here. I have 2 fridges of beer that need emptying. I swear they will be empty by the time I leave! that or I enter the plane drunk from the left overs. should prove interesting... Michiel will stand up for his homies. I hope
So that's it for today. i'll report back on wednesday and let you know how the BBQ was.
Oh and to the people of belgium.. how's the weather ? Heat wave in austria bitches! Oh it hurts doesn't it, it hurts ... *happy dance*
See you around!

I told you so!
What did I say yesterday ? It is going to be one of those days ...
damn right it was. I knew it!
so I went to the party yesterday, a pyjama party. and off course there were people running around in pyjama's. boxershorts, bathrobes, sleeping gowns.. all there. and the party was good was really good. all night long there was system of a down, Korn, rage against the machine ... just my kind of music. that night really brought back memories of "the bolero" in zonhoven. It was the only rock cafe in zonhoven when I was 14-15. And I have spent alot of time there. unbelievable.
but during the freak out songs on the dance floor, someone bumped into me and I spraid my ankle. At that point I didn't feel much of it after 5 mins but I guess it was the adrenaline.
they closed the party at half past 3, a pity though it was a lot of fun. and I was in bed by 4.
fast forward to the morning. I get up , my ankle hurts like hell. still does btw. so I limped around in the appartment getting a shower and eating something. I had to be at the fachhochschule by 9'o clock. Marcus was going to take me along to setup the network for the Iron man competition here. it's some kind of sport marathon thingy.
It was cool. we laid a 400m long cable. had to climb up onto the roof, poles over gates...
AND this time I HAD to break a doorknob. well unscrew it actually but this time it was intentionally. It was fun. we had a good laugh while doing the work.
But we didn't have any food with us and we were there from half past 9 till 5 'o clock.
so that means hungry hungry steve-o. I'm going to finish work on my paperwork for the school and then head to the spar to fix me some nice taco's.
**update
The day aint over yet! also first a thing I forget to mention.
as a student here, on my own. I need to be fed. but here I have to hunt my own food. so 2 times a week orso I head to the supermarkt here and resupply. there is cashier that knows me, seen me on regular intervals. and this morning. when I past her she demanded to see my backpack. but everything! what's under the laptop, the side pouches etc... People don't trust foreigners nowadays.
anyway, now that I want to cook , I grab a box of fishsticks out of the freezer and out jumps a piece of frozen chicken filet, hitting me in the head. those things are hard!
I want this day to end...
**end update
See ya everybody

The new steve
Hello everybody!
I'm back in good 'l austria. I had spent the past 5 days in belgium. A birthday present from my parents. It was really nice. Most people I know would pay to keep me out of the country. so it's true. mother love is blind :-)
Well my stay there was awesome. Saw my parents, grandparents, girlfriend, my dogs and off course my bunny. I missed the lil bugger. The weather was hot there. 30 -35 degrees and more at certain points. So plenty of oppertunity to hold a BBQ! which we did off course. my dad also had his birthday so that had to be celebrated. 49 years old now. it's starting to add up.
another event was off course mothers day. the woman we can't live without... or with for that matter but hey. details :-D
Sara and me also celebrated our first year together. ANOTHER person that's crazy enough to want me around. Even though I hit her in my sleep. Yup, Steve "Domestic Abuse" Bielen. Another nickname to the list.
Since tuesday I arrived back in austria. It was a long trip so I didn't see much of my evening here.
Now for the rest of the week.
currently working on my project. It has taking a big turn. I'm currently working on getting squid to put it's log files in a database. But squid doesn't support it. There is one plugin that allows it but it does not suit my needs. So .. I am starting to write my own software for squid. Yup you read it, I'm writing my own linux software. I've come a long way from starting the school in 2005. The program will be written in Perl, It's similair to Python which I do know but I have to learn Perl from scratch. so far it's going along great. I can open the file, read the contents and prepare the data to input them into the database. I am currently studying a book : PostgreSQL second edition. it has a whole section dedicated on how to use perl with Postgre. So I expect this to be finished soon.
Saterday is going to be fun. the ISN here is organizing a boat bike and wine tour. we're going to do some sight seeing, and have free wine on a boat with a big BBQ. I was convinced at the free wine part but they made an effort.
Also, I'm a celebrity here. The school edits a newspaper and they have done an interview with me. I had the chance the ramble about myself for 45 mins so that was pretty cool.
That's about it for this post. Tonight there might be the chance that i'm off the a party but don't know yet. I have to be in the school tomorrow at 9'o clock.
Uuggh. it's going to be one of those days.

Wacka Wacka
Greetings!
Woa I have a lot to talk about.
I had some visitors from belgium here and they came in peace. they als brought me a gift to show their kind intentions. It was a very pretty young lady that I could keep. Off course for your information that was Sara my girlfriend.
Robin and sandra and sara drove 9 hours by car just to see me. how awesome is that ? Well the girls came to see me. Robin came here to pick up the seasons of Stargate that I downloaded. We did a lot of fun stuff. Made some trips into the city here. ALOT of shopping. and I mean ALOT. fiendisch womans! but it was fun. Our trip to vienna was very cool.
When we arrived there on saturday there was a the vienna city fest in progress. so all the big squares with the library and all that had all kind of stands on it. a stage where some people where performing a sound check. and lots and lots of people. It was really great.
They also brought me some sweet sweet Jupiler. Now I have some REAL beer here. I'm going to savor it :-D
You can take a look at all of the photos, they're on my photobucket account.
there are some pictures that I'm very proud of.
This would be the first one: Look at the happy faces such a magical photo.. and then WHAM i'm in the background! neat huh!
also this is a pretty nasty one. it's a bear from a chocolate store.Look at the hands! look at em! Think of the children!
You might notice the amount of pictures. well there is a good explanation for it. Burst Mode.
we've been playing around with it and now I need to find some time to make animated gifs.
probably next week orso.
speaking of time, my project is making huge leaps forward and backwards aswell!
Steve typo Bielen struck again.
one random letter in the config file of squidguard and the entire proxy server crashed. sweet huh. But that's fixed now so all good.
Currently working on the blacklisting features. It's pretty scary though. I was at line 4300 on the porn blacklist and I didn't pass 1% of the entire file ... So much porn ...
ALSO!
urlblacklist.com is a commercial blacklist. the biggest one around. they have everything divided into categories so that you can block or allow them easily. the weird part is that they have a seperate category for french education ... yeah let it sink in FRENCH EDUCATION!
why in the love of god would someone need a seperate category for french education.
I can image something like this:
"Sys admin": Johnson the system is having that bandwith problem again. What can we do about it ?"
"IT assistant": No idea , perhaps we can blacklist some sites?
"Sys admin": Open and shut case Johnson. let's blacklist the french and get this over with!
No really, what the hell. This is a case like the netauthority. they consider beastiality and interracial sex on the same level of offensive behavior. off course that site was a parody on the extreme religion kind off guys.
But i'm going to stop here.
Got some work to do.
see you guys and thanks for reading!

Shazam!
Mornin everybody,
take a seat, right over there. The steve has something to tell
so yesterday, my roommate and I were going out to get something to out. We went to a place called the kuckuck's nest. they have some great turkisch meals. and they have baklava. Did I mention I love baklava ? Anyway so we sit there, on our second beer. and this guy walks up and asks if he can come sit with us. he was a doctor and wanted to talk and get to know people. we talked about a lot of things. Like that he doesn't drink alcohol and that his only drugs are woman. now this guy was imho retarded. spoke very broken german, with a lot of pauses and he was one ugly motherfucker.
after 5 min he orders us all a gin & tonic. great beverage , loved the taste. So he ordered us a gin & tonic. " I don't drink alcohol, it's bad" but the guy does order a gin & tonic. oh the irony.
oh while we're at it, I had a affelstrüdel aswell. normaly it's pie. but here it was appeljuice with vodka and cinnamon. great drink. try it sometime.
on with the story, the guy was freaking us out so we left pretty quickly. while we were on our way home , my roommate saw a friend of his and she said there was a party going on at the wihast. wihast is one of the student homes here FYI. so we get there, have a drink make some small talk. One of the girls was drunk to booth. there was more alcohol in her then a russian on happy hour. she started talking to me , asking who I was etc etc... and suddenly she starts telling me how her father used to rape her and she went into very specific details on how those nights went on. ... I was SHOCKED!
Really, some things are better not said and THAT was one of them. Now i'm not known for my subtle ways but I am smarter then that.
so the party was good. We left at half past 12 and we wanted to get one more beer before hitting the sack so we went into town.
After some good and thorough looking we found a place called "In Vino" it obviously had a lot of wine. I went in there and mangled their sophisticated ways by ordering a beer.
"Steve Bielen, Culture barbarian. performing every other tuesday"
It was a nice place had a few laughs , talked with the bar owner. It was good. now my roommate wanted to try some wine so we got another round. After this some guy enters the bar, he's drunk and depressed. you can see that. suddenly he buys us a round of shots. don't know what the drink was but it was good.
so we toast in his health, and he buys us another round. I need to do that more often.
he went on some rant about how he lost his house in albania and how his wife left him blabla. well good thing I don't understand drunken german that well. Just keep the woman pleased and you don't have a problem. Dave chapelle has a good vision on men and chivalry btw. look him up on youtube if you have time.
At this point it was 01:45. the bartender decides to give us another round on the house, So I got another beer and christophe another wine. Right all finished then the guy buys us another round of the shots.
at this point I was drunk. so we kind off crawled home. hitting many fences and falling onto the floor. The good part about this is that I DID NOT BREAK ANYTHING! that's a first eh :-D
I still remember yesterday very well so Michiel don't try to blame me for any assasinations or destructions you did. You framed me once, not again.
The morning-after was not so good. I wake up, want to take a shower and my roommate threw up in the hallway. It wasn't pretty. the stuff is on the walls, a trail to his bed. his face was hanging with it ... I laughed. He can clean it up :D
That was about the most exciting part of last week. on sunday it was a beautiful day. so I went to the lake to meet up with bella and her boyfriend and some other guy. Forgot his name already. Sorry!
It was nice. just sitting around doing nothing while enjoying the sun. lovely
Work is also going great. Currently have the problem that I'm unable to set up a testing environment. The squid is running but I can't get it to behave transparent. I think my iptables are to blame here. but I'm on it. I'll keep you guys updated on the problem. Speaking of problems, Rainer was able to fix my script for the DHCP relay agent. so that makes it finished. great!
I'm going to leave at that for now. Some friends of mine are coming over tomorrow so I will be off for a while.
Tsjuus!

GOTCHA BITCH!
take a seat, right over there. The steve has something to tell
so yesterday, my roommate and I were going out to get something to out. We went to a place called the kuckuck's nest. they have some great turkisch meals. and they have baklava. Did I mention I love baklava ? Anyway so we sit there, on our second beer. and this guy walks up and asks if he can come sit with us. he was a doctor and wanted to talk and get to know people. we talked about a lot of things. Like that he doesn't drink alcohol and that his only drugs are woman. now this guy was imho retarded. spoke very broken german, with a lot of pauses and he was one ugly motherfucker.
after 5 min he orders us all a gin & tonic. great beverage , loved the taste. So he ordered us a gin & tonic. " I don't drink alcohol, it's bad" but the guy does order a gin & tonic. oh the irony.
oh while we're at it, I had a affelstrüdel aswell. normaly it's pie. but here it was appeljuice with vodka and cinnamon. great drink. try it sometime.
on with the story, the guy was freaking us out so we left pretty quickly. while we were on our way home , my roommate saw a friend of his and she said there was a party going on at the wihast. wihast is one of the student homes here FYI. so we get there, have a drink make some small talk. One of the girls was drunk to booth. there was more alcohol in her then a russian on happy hour. she started talking to me , asking who I was etc etc... and suddenly she starts telling me how her father used to rape her and she went into very specific details on how those nights went on. ... I was SHOCKED!
Really, some things are better not said and THAT was one of them. Now i'm not known for my subtle ways but I am smarter then that.
so the party was good. We left at half past 12 and we wanted to get one more beer before hitting the sack so we went into town.
After some good and thorough looking we found a place called "In Vino" it obviously had a lot of wine. I went in there and mangled their sophisticated ways by ordering a beer.
"Steve Bielen, Culture barbarian. performing every other tuesday"
It was a nice place had a few laughs , talked with the bar owner. It was good. now my roommate wanted to try some wine so we got another round. After this some guy enters the bar, he's drunk and depressed. you can see that. suddenly he buys us a round of shots. don't know what the drink was but it was good.
so we toast in his health, and he buys us another round. I need to do that more often.
he went on some rant about how he lost his house in albania and how his wife left him blabla. well good thing I don't understand drunken german that well. Just keep the woman pleased and you don't have a problem. Dave chapelle has a good vision on men and chivalry btw. look him up on youtube if you have time.

Long time no see
no news for some time, sorry folks!
so about my week, Well I mostly worked.
getting fed up with it. all the googling. trying out new configurations. it gets dull after a while.
but that's why we have parties to make it better! yesterday there was a wannebe party here in the bubble bar. wasn't that bad. Music was good from time to time.
every DJ kan impress me with a track from the daft punk alive album...
but at around 2 "o clock I just had to leave. My shoulder was killing me.
it was up to the point that I couldn't feel my arm anymore. That was a bit of a mood killer for me.
but I got a good night sleep. that counts for something. This weekend is pretty normal.
I think on saterday i'm going to do some exploring in the city , perhaps get a drink with some people in the evening and sunday will probably my warhammer40k day. I have some XV88's to finish! my babies!
Also i'm looking forward to my friends who are coming to visit next week. that is going to be awesome.
well that's it for now.
Tsjuuuus!

Sum gud eatin!
Oh man, that was one good meal. and as some others also have done i'm going to put the recipe and a short HowTo: on my blog for this awesome dish.
first off, preheat the oven to an 200 degrees and then we work on our vegetables.
cut an onion and some mushrooms. fresh ones are preferred.
then start by baking some minced meat together with the mushrooms and onions,
you can also add some sliced paprika.
spice it up with salt, pepper and some paprika herbs.
let this cook for a while then turn it off.
next step is to hollow out a paprika, aint that hard. I can do it without cutting myself and that's saying something.
when that is done fill the paprika halfway with the minced meat and then put some sliced cheese on it. the spaghetti kind of cheese will do. Then fill the rest of the paprika and seal with cheese.
also spray some paprika on the cheese.
and then put this in our oven until the cheese is nicely grilled.
in the meanwhile you can prepare some other vegetables, I used some cucumber , peas and carrots but anything goes.
when the paprika is done, serve it with the vegetables and top it off with some cocktail sauce.
you can also choose to have some rice with it or toast.
I used toast but that's more because I forgot to make the rice : - /
anyway that was my contribution for the evening!
enjoy the dinner
