First of all, thanks for the donation Feels great!
I’ll write all the above-mentioned changes and bugs down into a small
todo-file and I’ll try to fix and or implement those changes during
this week. I’ll take care of the bugs first and then start to add new
features.
Oh yeah, and thanks for the – on my scale – overwhelming response; The Widget got mentioned on several bigger blogs, thanks for that.
First time I ever experienced such a ‘media response’

I’ve been waiting for something like that for quite some time, I even
hoped that it’d make it into css3 but well here it is, although just as
proprietary Gecko/Mozilla code.

Using funny stylesheet-properties like ‘-moz-border-radius’ one can
give borders rounded corners. This allows to create rounded boxes,
inputboxes, backgrounds and whatnot without using those nasty four
8×8px corner-images. But well, just like other extensions I doubt that
this will make it into CSS soon (if), so it’s just usefull if you
develop intranet-applications and/or have control over your audiences
browser-version. (Or if you wanna present your firefoxed visitors some
sneaky gimmicks their IE-Friends won’t have).

There’re even more interesting new properties, take a look over here:

(Although nothing can beat Safari’s damn cool text-shadow property)

I released a new Version of TagBag, 1.02, which fixes a bug and adds a new feature. More info here:

Here it comes. My first Dashboard-Widget! It’s called ‘TAGBAG’ and
serves the purpose to give a brief overview over which tags you used so
far. This is mostly only usefull to those who extensively use the
Spotlight-Comment feature for tagging files into different categories. I created a page to explain that concept and offer my widget for download.

(The Site’s really ugly in Internet Explorer, I don’t have the time currently to debug for that piece o junk.)

//enjoy!

This is our dog, Corrie. She’s a hottie, isn’t she.

yeah, I’m still alive, I’ve had a great pingsteren-weekend (as the
dutch would say) and I’ve had some minutes to work on several projects
which are to be published here (including track-a-day’s yes). The main
problem is currently a lack of time to write about what I do. I wanna
first make sure the stuff I’m about to release here is usefull. Prepare
for two hot Dashboard-Widgets for Apple 10.4 Tiger. And more.

Those Firefox-Guys created some funny Promo Videos for their Browser. Go watch them while they’re not slashdotted yet:

I build a small Technorati Ping via XML-RPC into my blog. Everytime I update my blog now, technorati
is getting a small ping so they know about my update. Actually, the
mere reason why I write this entry is so I can see if it works

Ah yeah, since it’s just a cheap 8liner of PHP Code, I’ll upload that
one soon, for others to implement in their proprietory blog systems.

I recently started to enhance that little knowledge I have about
photography and the like as there was a thread about spring
pictures in that forum I visit from time to time, and thus I decided that
I’d try to take some (nice) pictures too. Here comes the first one: Later on, more pictures should follow.

On Friday I went to the Cinema with some friends, we watched Kingdom of
Heaven, really a great movie – although I don’t like some of the
tidbits of that story… but that’s not the reason for this entry:

When we went back to our car, I immediately realized that something was missing:

My iPod (40GB 3. Generation)!

I connect the iPod to my Car Stereo with a small Jack->Cassette
Adaptor, and the Jack-End of the Adaptor-Cable was.. empty. There was
no iPod anymore, nor a Jack, the cable had been cut, the iPod had been
stolen. The next thing we realized was that the right Car-Window was
open. Someone had managed to open the Car-Window from the outside
(probably using some secret jedi thievery technics), and stole my iPod

I hope that my Insurance Company will pay this, I just got that iPod one year ago, and it was such a hot gadget.

I’ll definately buy a new iPod whether the insurance pays or not. I’m
playing with the thought of buying a nice iPod photo, I haven’t decided
yet though.

I  investigated some other manufacturers products too (iRiver,
Creative etc), but none of those work as perfect with my Mac/iTunes as
the iPod did, and most of these have an akward usability, none of them
can beat the iPod’s Click Wheel, especially when navigating through
40gb of music

However, I learned something this time:

Never leave sexy or expensive gadgets visible in your car. I’ll keep that in mind now.

And damn, I already miss the iPod
