NMBS delays

Two MTI students made a website where people can register the delays they incurred when traveling on the Belgian railroads. For now the website resides on the ELIS servers, and can be reached at http://trappist.elis.ugent.be/~kmillet/. The idea is that the commuters drive the content which should result in an accurate image of the actual delays, rather than the statistics the NMBS gives, as they tend to drop delays smaller than five minutes and prefer to give a more optimistic picture in general. So if you are a commuter, and you use the railroad in Belgium, register and start logging your delays. Spread the word.

Kinepolis and the art of picking a date twice

The Kinepolis website officially sucks. And I'm not just referring to the crappy interface. I admit, I was inattentive. I mistakingly ordered tickets for the Friday Harry Potter show at 17:30 instead of the Sunday one. How could this happen? I'm quite careful when ordering stuff online, because once the button is pushed, you're hanging.
