Since This weekend the timing of the traffic lights on the intersection of the E403/N31 with the Koning Albert I laan in Brugge has changed. The green-time has been reduced drastically from ? to about 10 seconds.
Maybe some 'bright' engineer might have thought this would be beneficiary but the effect I noticed is not that interesting.
In the direction of Kortrijk, where i usually had maximum 1 light-cycle to wait, the line was at least 4 times the size of usual and a longer wait.
In the direction of the coast the situation is much worse. Usually there is a line-up of around 1 1/2 km. This morning the traffic was stopped or slow for 7 km!
Let's hope this situation will be corrected soon.

Update 18/11/2008
The timing has been changed back to 25 seconds. No more linup direction Kortrijk and Direction coast the usual-with-heavy-rain 2 km line. Good one!

Another meme is doing the rounds.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result:

This is usually undesirable in the context of a web application because some data needs to persist between page loads.
