Google Calendar (2)

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

I tried to set a ‘reminder by SMS’ (text message to my mobile phone) for an event I created in Google Calendar but saw that at this stage unfortunately only US-based carriers are supported…

Google, by when will you support Vodafone?? 🙂

Still, the application works for me!

My own podcast?!?

Monday, April 17th, 2006

I took the first step towards my own podcast this weekend…a beer/cola for the one who finds out what!

The only hint I’m gonna give is; ‘dsc3’ 🙂

Happy Easter!

Tonight; Green Lizard

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Am going to Green Lizard tonight! They’re performing in Nederland 3, a popcenter literally ’round the corner for me

I’ve heared much from the band and it will be the first time to see them live…looking forward to that!

The human clock, check it out, it’s cool!

Castblaster for the Mac?

Friday, April 14th, 2006

Just a thought…

Now that Apple ships most of their models with Intel processors and Mac OS X software is in the process of being converted/upgraded to Universal Binaries (Mac-software that runs both on PowerPC and Intel based platforms)…would it now be easier to get CastBaster for the Mac??

I assume that converting existing PC-software to Universal Binary is easier than writing completely new PowerPC/Mac software???

Google Calendar

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Google just launched their newest addition to their bunch (beta-)apps; Google Calendar.

At first glance it looks nice, it actually works intuitive as most of their apps and overall performance is FASTTT!

 I haven’t got the time to play around with it too much yet, but am curious to find out how well the integration with Gmail performs…the opportunities seem almost endless, go and check it for yourself!

You can use your Gmail-account to log in, or otherwise create a new Google-account.

Drop me an email if you want/need a Gmail-account…it’s almost Easter! 🙂

Daily Source Code #365!!

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Adam Curry recorded a full year of Daily Source Code's yesterday…365 days of shows, wow!!! Congrats dude!

I've been hooked onto his show (and podcasting in general) from day 1, guess I can't stop promoting podcasting since the AMAZING moment on October 7th, 2004 🙂 🙂

Last game of the season

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

We played our last game Saturday against Donar, we’re first and they’re last in the standings…so even though the spirit was gone (mainly due to the starting time of the match, 6pm sjeez!), we won relatively easy 0-3.

Check the NeVoBo site for the end result in the competition.

Trip to Slovakia

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

I’ll be in Slovakia for work the coming days…probably no time (and possibly no internet too!), so expect no posts.

Thich Nhat Hanh: "Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life…, our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive."

9th Birthday of Blogdaddy Dave’s blog

Yahoo! mail

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Well, that sucks…I just got this message when I logged in to Yahoo Mail:

Your Yahoo! Mail account is no longer active.

Why is my account inactive?

Yahoo! Mail deactivated your mail account because:

  • You have not logged into your mail account during the past four months; or
  • You have requested that Yahoo! Mail deactivate your account.

What does this mean?

  • All email messages, folders, attachments and preferences have been deleted and cannot be recovered.
  • All messages sent to raymondpoort@yahoo.com are being returned to the sender.
  • You can still use your Yahoo! ID to access other registered services on Yahoo!.

I indeed don’t use the account that much for email (have Gmail for that! :)), the ipodder-dev group was perhaps the main reason for having the account…then again, you would think that the mail-account should not be deactivated if you’re still using your Yahoo! ID (as I do for Flickr)…huh?!?

Anyway, I reactivated the account…only loosing all the emails 🙁

Happy Birthday Apple
