Graduated magna cum laude as Bachelor Applied Computer Sciences at University College KHK
This week I graduated from school.

After three years living and studying in Geel (see my message below), Belgium (about 50 km from home) I got my graduation.

In Dutch "magna cum laude" is "grote onderscheiding".

This summer I will still do a summer job at Gloriant.

In september I will start working at RealDolmen for the departement infrastructure services.

 Will have my official bachelor degree on friday
Jorge Schrauwen with Marieke and Swa
The last three years I lived in a dorm (in Flemish: studentenkot) in Geel, where my college was. Well not a real dorm, but two rooms in the big house of a family not that far away from university college.

Her name is Marieke and her husband is Swa. Now that I am a certified bachelor applied informatics and will start exploring the real life of being a systems engineer, another student can rent the rooms. If you are looking for a dorm in Gheel and you don't mind the distance (only 4 km to the KHK), this might be a good opportunity.

See the picture of Marieke, myself and Swa earlier this week, celebrating the fact that I have passed my exams.

Information in Dutch about the bachelor education at the Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen in Geel.

I want an iPad 3G/Ik wil een iPad 3G


Tags: personal, ipad, facebook, twitter Tue, May 04, 2010 - 11:02 AM
 I want an iPad 3G!
Posing with fake iPad.On launch day of the iPad 3G me and a friend where talking about how we both wanted an iPad 3G.
Neither of us has any money but he jokingly said: "you must have money enough from the donations on your site, since you help so many people with your tools!".

As you know I don't run ads on my website since I'm not very fond of ads myself. However I do have a donation page. (http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries)
But the donations I get are small and far between. (Thanks for all the people who did donate small amount out of appreciation)

I give a lot to the internet, HTTP 2.2 64-bit windows binaries, try to help people on forum's and IRC...
My 64-bit binaries alone have been downloaded over 44,200 times, so a roughly calculation tells me that I saved many people about decades of work.

I spend a few days brooding on a plan to try to get an iPad 3G.
I've decided to try to get one by blogging and promoting my blog post on social media websites. Exploiting the power of social media!

I'll keep this blog-post up-to-date as best as I can. I'll post progress of possible donations, retweets, diggs,...

So what can you do to help?

  1. Spread the word! retweet, digg, submit it to a news site,… the more people that hear about it, the more likely I'll get an iPad!
  2. Send a small donation my way (donation), lots of small donations make an iPad!
  3. If you're rich (not likely), you can buy me an iPad 3G! ;)

 httpd 2.2.15 x64 available for download
Jorge Schrauwen in Jura (France)New binaries available.

Jump to this download page.

You probably realize that building these binaries for Apache on Windows x64 takes quite some effort and lots of my (free) time.

If you feel this is worth something, a donation via PayPal is highly accepted!

Regards,
Jorge

 mod_security
Hi all,

Every now and then I get requests to update/build some apache module to work on x64.

Usually it's not a problem and it works out okay.
Earlier this week I had another request to update mod_security.

I had one for mod_Security before, I failed back then.
I failed again today. Getting all the dependencies and everything build gives lot of errors.

I wasted around 3h on this.
As of today I won't be looking at mod_security again. I will keep my older binaries around though.

Kind regards

Jorge

 New tool orbit-vm released on code.google.com
screenshot of the GUI orbit-vm for vSphere 4Together with another student in my class, Erwin Staepelaere, I developed a new tool, a cross-platform client for vSphere 4.

It's a tool that manages vSphere 4 servers from every operating system you want (Mac OS, Linux or Windows).

Features:
- Tunneling over SSH
- Display basic information about a virtual machine
- Power On, Pause, Reset, Power Off a VM (When the tools are installed reset and power off will reboot and shutdown respectively)


Take a look at it on http://code.google.com/p/orbit-vm/ and give us your remarks.
You can also click on the screenshot to jump to the code.google page.

You can digg this article if you like it.
