Sore muscles and injured foot

Due to training at the gym with a trainer on Monday, I have several sore muscles, in particular my left arm. I am right handed and that makes my left arm the weaker arm. My foot is injured on a joint, but I have no idea how that happened. The training last night did not help either against sore muscles.

Back from vacation in Namibia

On Monday, 4 January 2010, I came back from my trip to Namibia. It was quite hot there, especially in Etosha.

Trip to Etosha in Namibia

In December 2009, I was with a friend and both our mothers in the Etosha National Park in Namibia for five days. We saw at least 23 different types of animals. Lions, elephants and rhinos were rare, but we managed to take photos of them. Huge fires caused a lot of animals to migrate which left most other areas and waterholes empty.

Custom 404 error messages in IIS

To set up a custom 404 error message on Windows in IIS, there are the following things to keep in mind when using PHP files:

1. The custom 404 file cannot be a server-side executable script like PHP or ASP, it has to be a flat HTML file (.htm or .html extension is fine).

2. The .PHP extension handling has to have the checkbox "verify that the file exists" checked in order to see the custom 404 error page if a .php extension is used in the URL.

3. Restarting the website after setting these changes might help.

Busy time before going on vaction to Namibia

This week in particular is rather busy because of everything that I have to get done before going on vacation to Namibia to visit family. Last night was a case of working late and then when I finally had time for myself, it was close to midnight. After midnight, I got a work related SMS and finally went to bed at 3AM because of that.
