Just to learn the Flickr API, I created a website displaying a random photo with the tag ‘photoshopped’. Simple but fun.

Go to PhotoShopped.nl!

For the english readers: This is a Dutch explanation of a Peepeled Hatchkruml.

Een Gepiepelde Hatsjkrumn is een van kruimeltjes gemaakt luik in de grond, met als doel zodanig onstevig te zijn dat mensen er in vallen als ze eroverheen denken te kunnen lopen.

This update fixes loading bitlbee_tab_completion.pl from the autorun directory. The completions weren’t fetched when using the ‘channel sync’ signal.

Thanks to both Florian Wiechers and Ahmed El-Mahmoudy for sending me a patch separately.

Here a screencapture explaining the process of adding a YouTube movie to a YouStickIt post-it note. Spread the word!

Back in 2005, I started with my first version of a “Sticky Notes Guestbook”. All the JavaScript mousehandlers where written by myself. I really hated making it cross browser compatible. Until I discovered Prototype and Scriptaculous! From then on I turned YouStickIt into a solid Web 2.0, Ajaxable, fully buzzwordable compatible web-app.

New features:

• REST interface
• Simple HTML in notes
• Embed Youtube video’s
• Maximize a single note
• Realtime updates
• See who is watching your board

There is also a gadget which you can add to your own website:

Or that’s a known fact?

My windows desktop had a repaint failure just yet. Therefore I made this piece of art:

Hyves made some changes regarding their chatclient (Kwekker). The client makes use of the jabber protocol.

Yesterday (or another day, dunno) Hyves launched a chat application called Kwekker. Because I use either Linux or MacOSX I was not able to connect to the server. At least I thought I was!

netstat showed me I was connected to 85.17.63.106 on port 5222. That looked like Jabber to me . I just connected with the following settings:

Use one of these servers:

* chatslave1.hyves.org
* chatslave2.hyves.org
* chatslave14.hyves.org
* chatslave15.hyves.org

Port: 5222
Username: tijmenenski@hyves.nl (my hyves account is tijmenenski.hyves.nl )
Resource: desktopClient
Password: I’m NOT going to tell you!

Login and enjoy!
