Meilof's homepageMeilof's homepageAnimenu.pl, y4merge, NTSC and so on- (Found June 19, 2008 ) I received an e-mail today from a guy called Robert, who gave me just the kind of quote you'd want to put on your website: I wanted to thank you for animenu.pl of course the backends that make it possible - quite a neat tool. I had dispaired of creating animated dvd menus using only linux and opensource tools before I found it. Anyway, he also mentioned the following: As a side note, I had to add -k to the transcode line or the colours were all messed up - possibly to do with using ntsc...http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/11/29#email Criminals use DNS spoofing to make money- (Found June 19, 2008 ) (Story here too) Various Dutch media are carrying a story today from a new Dutch technologylifestyle magazine called Bright about DNS spoofing: taking over the control of domain names. There reportedly is a group of online criminals that is doing this for money. The complete article can be found here; this summary by newspaper De Volkskrant pretty much mentions the most important bits: Internet crime: one million visitors for $1000 Criminal hackers are manipulating vital Internet nodes for...http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/02/02#bright-ip-spoofing WIDM now hosted at Berlios- (Found June 19, 2008 ) I registered a Berlios project account for the WIDM Who Is The Mole execution software; from there, I can finally decently host my CVS and releases without problems with quota and with a publicly available CVS tree! More to follow; for now, see how beautifully widm.berlios.de gets redirected to this very page...http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/02/14#widm-berlios LoveCalc for J2ME!- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Since my new SonyEricsson K300i telephone, which I got a few weeks ago, supports Java J2ME applications, I figured I'd play around with J2ME a little, and developing J2ME applications is surprisingly easy! At first, I tried the J2ME SDK shipped by SonyEricsson itself (download), which worked nicely enough. Its main advantage over Sun's own J2ME SDK, on which SonyEricssons software is based, is that it can show how your applications work on SonyEricsson phones, rather than just the default...http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/08/15#j2me HogerLager, version 1.1!- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Just days after, along with Lovecalc for J2ME, I released the 1.0 version of the HogerLager game for your mobile phone, here's the updated 1.1 version! ChangeLog: Fixed the irritating newlines that forced you to scroll on your screen (at least I had to on my SonyEricsson K300i) Adds support for high scores (stored persistently!), currently no way to reset them :S I won't keep you from downloading the hot stuff any longer: source code here; JAR and JAD to play now! Since it's currently.http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/08/17#hogerlager-1.1 Meilof's Snackbar Review Guide: Snack news & Snackbuffer "Het Vliet"- (Found June 19, 2008 ) No updates to the Guide in a while, but then nothing much has happened in the snack scene of Leeuwarden. One notable event is that from this year on, the open-air swimming pool in Giekerk now sells snacks. Being run by the same people that run "Het Kruispunt" (situated at, you guessed it, the main crossroad of Giekerk), one instantly recognizes the typical (quite good) taste (which is mainly due to their extensive use of paprika spice), the very decent mayonnaise and good curry. Unfortunately,.http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/09/12#hetvliet The Outlaw 666 & Swap-sorting- (Found June 19, 2008 ) On 3 to 7 October, the Dutch alternative radio station KinkFM www.kinkfm.com, to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, will broadcast a chart show called the "Outlaw 666", with the 666 best alternative songs of the last 10 years. On the website, you can pick your favorite 14 songs from a rather long list. It promises to become quite a neat list. Ateaseweb, a Radiohead fan website, already noted the remarkable fact that there are exactly 14 Radiohead songs to choose from: On KinkFM.com you can..http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/09/19#outlaw666sorting Currently Listening To... Moustache (half a scissor)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) In the mostly defunct "Currently Listening To" series, today we feature Moustache (half a scissor), the new album by Mr. Oizo. Most (some) people will still remember Mr. Oizo from the famous 1999 Levi's commercials in which the song "Flat beat" and the yellow puppet figure "Mr. Oizo" were featured. What most people don't know however, is that in the same year, Mr. Oizo (a pseudonym for Quentin Dupieux, the producer behind the commercial) also released an album called Analog Worms Attack. In...http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/09/27#oizomoustache Currently listening to... Vive La Fête- (Found June 19, 2008 ) In the universally challenged "Currently listening to..."-series, today we feature the Lowlands 2005 performance by Vive La Fête, which can be listened to on 3voor12. Not that I have really much to say about it: it's just very decent electronic music which is fun to listen to. The reason I'm mentioning it here is that, in order to get it on my MP3 player in a decent fashion, I split up the complete concert, and spent some time finding out what all the songs were called. Which wasn't that.http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/10/05#vivelafete Wie Is De Mol log- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Here's what I think: 29-01-2005: Victoria is the mole! 22-01-2005: Victoria is the mole! 15-01-2005: Yvon is the mole!http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof//2005/02/02#widmlog |
