RSS Ping
Here’s something interesting: RSS Ping combines RSS item metadata with site update information. It enhances the current ping specification, adding information about exactly what has been updated or published, with the notification that something has been updated. RSS Ping reduces the need to revisit or work done by aggregators and search engines when revisiting the…

Apple iBook. First impressions.
It has been a couple of days since I collected my iBook from the store. Mind you, it is my first personally owned Mac. And it has been fun exploring a new OS and fiddling with all the options on the machine. In fact it still is fun. 🙂 Everything I’ve thrown at it so…

Pingoat – The stable of all pings
Pingoat is a new ping-service, since the 21st of July. Or as they put it: What in the world is Pingoat! ? Pingoat is a service that pings or notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated…

Small is better part 2
Keeping my fingers crossed. The local Mac center is keeping aside a new generation 12″ iBook for me. So right after work it’s to the shop. Can’t wait… 🙂 Oh and the trusty work laptop returned from the lab. New screen, new HD, new Mobo. I think the only original part may be, well, the…

Mozilla going Corporate
Today the Mozilla Foundation announced that the non-profit organisation will spawn a for-profit Mozilla Corporation. Exactly how they will make a profit isn’t clear to me. Presumably by offering paid support(?). But, they promise that Firefox & Thunderbird will remain free, always. The corporate domain has already been setup. But there’s not much to see…

Exploring the earth from your couch
I must admit I have somewhat of an addiction to Google Earth. Especially with all the user input from around the globe. There are literally thousands of eyes scouring the earth for interesting spots or as they are called, placemarks. Resulting in hours of hopping from placemark to placemark. And discovering some of your own…

Small is better
As you may or may not know currently my trusty workhorse is in repair. Unfortunately it doubled as my ‘personal’ laptop. During the day I worked on it for my clients and in the evening I did some personal stuff (mostly browsing). The past week I had to rely on e.g. my girlfriend going to…

IE7 UserAgent string
Is it (Apart from being spoofed) ?: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Except for the .NET stuff… IS IE7 dependant on the .NET Framework? Just some thoughts… Anyhow, anyone building around a useragent-string isn’t doing the right thing. 🙂

Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia and Corbel
These are the new ‘web’ fonts as described earlier. Looking at my stats I’ve seen an interest for downloading these fonts. No I don’t have them (for download). But, earlier this week the beta of Windows Vista was released… and so did the new fonts… look around. 😉 This is probably totally crossing the EULA.…
