iPod update
Wednesday, January 11th, 2006Slow on posting these days…no worries, it’s ‘just’ the usual crap at work. It’s also the cause that the temporary re-design of my blog holds up a bit longer than expected.
Last update on the iPod; after running the built in disc scan several times, it now holds a smashing 1.9GB of data (out of the 40GB ‘available’)…darn!
Catchya later y’all, am leaving for a busy day with the EC in Brussels (have just anough podcasts with me to fill the driving hours :))
Broken iPod…
Monday, January 9th, 2006AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
My baby has a damaged harddrive, at least that’s what it seems to be.
I cannot put more than 10 songs on it, then it reaches the damaged block and stops.
Boohooooo!
I really hope the built in iPod diagnostics will help me further with this one!
iPod diagnostics
Monday, January 9th, 2006I dropped my iPod some days ago (aahhhh!!!) and tonight I experienced the first problems because of it, one of the songs wouldn’t open.
So I restored the iPod software, thrashing all the music on it and enjoy the fresh start. Then I figured that it would be nice if I could run some sort of hard disk scan, searched on the net and found the coolest thing; the iPod bhas uilt in diagnostics!!
On my 4G iPod I can enter the diagnostics menu by pressing "BACK" & "SELECT" button while the iPod restarting. It gives me several check, including a hard disk scan! WOW 
Here’s a site with some more info!
Problem with pictures
Friday, January 6th, 2006The previous pictures disappeared, due to the temporary design…I wonder why?
UPDATE: problem solved…and I don’t know why…huh?
Temporary new design
Friday, January 6th, 2006You can’t miss it…I’ve got a new design.
Reason is the archive issue I’ve had. As I couldn’t solve it for some reason, I installed a fresh copy of my blogging-tool (Pivot, v1.3b3). As this version is using other templates, it will take some time to change back to the previous design while still making use of the advanced functionalities of the new version…time I don’t have at the moment
Hopefully I’ve got some time this Sunday!
Archives down
Friday, January 6th, 2006The archives are down!
Yeahyeah, I screwed up…will fix it tonight!

Here we go:

9. Intel PowerBook…Odds: 50-1.
8. iWork ‘06…Odds: 25-1.
7. iLife ‘06…Odds: 10-1.

Firefox & P2P
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006Allpeers, the Firefox killer app!
Found it via Scripting News (Dave Winers blog), the original post is here.
Very cool stuff, integrating bittorrent in the Firefox browser, it makes our life easier, again
I’m guessing the internet community will jump on this one and if it works like it is planned it will indeed be a killer app!
