YouTube movies
This is one break-your-bones youtube movie that caught my attention...
Make sure you see following sequences:
Mixed martial arts accident 3:16 min before end (breaks leg on low-kick),
Jackass alike accident by 2 kids 1:16 min before end (2 kids fall in shopping cart and 1 breaks wrist)
And another fine one (in dutch)
Chris&co's impression on 'Lekker Thuis' a former cooking program.
Booting XP in safe mode through Parallels
Just a quick tip, which took me 15 minutes to find 
When you need your windows xp to boot up in safe mode through Parallels you need to press fn-F8 (Apple key-F8) while starting up the virtual machine.
iLife photobook
We went to the german military cemetery on the 5th of june with my wife's grandfather.
A 90 year old war veteran, still rock solid and going strong 
It was a very impressive trip. There are 20.000 crosses on an 16ha field, covering 40.000 german corpses of the second world war.
It is the biggest german war cemetery not placed in Germany itself. 6221 crosses contain the name 'Ein Deutscher Soldat' which means the body could not be identified. Most victims fell during the '18daagse veldtocht' (10 - 25 may 1940), 3 battles around Aken (sept till dec 1944), and the Ardennes Offensive (16 dec 1944 till 30 jan 1945). There are also 542 german victims of the first world war here.
We decided to create an iLife photobook of this visit, just as a surprise for 'GrandPa'.
We created and ordered it the day itself, and today it arrived in perfect condition! It only took 3 work days to create the book, and the shipping took 5 work days. Talking about fast!
I've uploaded the images of the visit and the arrival of the book to my picasa pages, which you can view here
Added a wordpress Picasa plugin
Just finished a minor change to my blog, added a random picasa images plugin.
I did have to do some minor tweaking as there is no real good plugin available (readily working I mean).
I started from the following: PicasaWeb wordpress plugin by Rawlison which worked (partly) and used the user interface of Vague Dreams plugin, after trying many others.
The link to image didn't work, and there was no space between the images, so I added/changed that.
You can visit my Picasa Web Album Widget page for the new plugin and the install guide
Cell phone – mania
I do seem to have a thing with gadgets and cell phones...
Although I'm pretty sure I'm really not interested in cell phones what so ever, I do find myself
buying another one very often lately.
Quick sum up of the last, say 6 months ...
Mio A701
- Pretty good explanations can be given for this handy for the dislike afterwards
Sony K750i
- Really good phone, although I do miss some of the more pocket-pc / smartphone related features like wifi (calling with fring or skype when at home, checking mail from anywhere)
And after reading some good reviews,
All About Symbian
Tweakers.net (in dutch)
and looking in to the images / dimensions given on the nokia site I decided this could be a really good phone for me overall.
Doesn't look like a lunch box when holding it, relatively small screen but hey
- no lunch box look !
Wifi / Bluetooth / Symbian Os with possibility to add TomTom etc ...
Looks really well..
I just hope that I don't get scammed by the Turkishly-named German selling me the phone on eBay
