FYI: In Belgium it is forbidden to lock mobile phones. In other words, it is forbidden by law to sell phones that only work with one carrier.

Re: Mailserver migratie naar Google Apps

Bart — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:08:26 -0000

Leuk, maar hoe configureer je een webserver die mail moet kunnen versturen als je van Google Apps gebruik maakt? Welke SMTP server gebruikt die? Die van Google?

Re: Wat ABN AMRO geleerd heeft uit Second Life

Bart — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:02:22 -0000

Weeral eens iemand die beweert eerste te zijn op Second Life. En dan zeggen "Wat hebben we geleerd" ipv eerlijk toe te geven dat ze op hun gezicht zijn gegaan en er dik veel geld aan verloren hebben... En zwijg me over werving via Second Life, da's helemaal een grote leugen! Als al op Second Life bent geweest weet je dat je altijd 'ergens' terechtkomt waar je niet hoort te zijn en dus volledig NIET op de plek bent waar die ene bank jou tracht te zoeken. Marketing doe je via je product, kijk maar naar Rabobank!

Re: Simple Location Based Service idea

Bart — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:34:54 -0000

The fact is, NMBS train schedules are static. They are in no way connected with the real timing. So when there are delays or strikes, train schedules keep the same. So before location based services find their way NMBS still has a lot to do. And if you ask my personal opinion, it's not their ambition... They don't even succeed in sending a normal HTML newsletter:

But your idea is obvious and will find its way sooner or later.

Re: Facebook Pages Directory: Where Is It?

Bart — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 16:25:17 -0000

The problem with Pages is, that most of those already have an equivalent Group. Groups were introduced earlier than Pages, so why would one switch over to an empty Page if a Group is already vibrant and full of content? I would like to see a conversion tool to create a Page out of a Group.

Re: Will You Quit Your Job for Facebook?

Bart — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 04:57:08 -0000

There is always room for distraction. If they block Facebook or whatever other site you'll find another thing to waste your time with. So blocking sites doesn't make any sense.

Re: Bericht van/voor GoForMusic

Bart — Thu, 14 Apr 2005 05:56:31 -0000

A) Ik kan bevestigen dat er nog wel degelijk tickets van 85 euro beschikbaar waren bij start van de verkoop om 10u. Maar misschien veel te weinig om in de grote groep van fans te gooien.

B) Voorrang geven aan Belgen is een goed idee. Maar dat moet de organisator beslissen, kunnen de technische mensen niet op eigen houtje beslissen.

C) De problemen zitten hem niet in het 'centrale punt'. Het is té complex om het hier allemaal te beginnen uitleggen. Daarnaast wil ik er op wijzen dat wij niet over 2 servers spreken, maar een tiental.

Tip: parkeren kan je op de Meir. 's Avonds is dat toegelaten. Van daaruit is het paar minuutjes te voet. Via de Huidevetterstraat.

Ahhh, SF en LA, daar heb ik toch heel wat maanden gespendeerd (gewoond). Duseuh, shoot your questions at me! Zoals sasvangent zegt is Malibu écht wel leuker dan Venice Beach. Maar Venice Beach moet je gewoon gezien hebben, anders ben je niet in LA geweest. Zelfde mening over Grand Canyon, niet zo bijster goed vind ik - is gewoon een veel te groot gat in de grond en omdat het zo groot is verandert het zicht nauwelijks, zelfs als je kilometers aflegt - maar je moet er toch één keer in je leven geweest zijn. Bryce is écht wel de moeite, net zoals Death Valley maar Zion, da's gewoon een bos zoals ge in Zwitserland ook hebt. The Getty is de moeite, een mooi museum met een prachtig zicht op LA downtown met bijhorende smoglaag :) Zoals pietel zegt, langs de Big Sur van San Francisco naar LA valt er heel wat te beleven. San Louis Obispo is 'ok' maar Carmel is interessanter. Blijf niet te lang in Las Vegas, twee dagen en één overnachting is ruim voldoende. Het is er vooral druk en heet en na één dag heb je wel alle coole hotels gezien. Voor concrete tips verwijs ik naar m'n comment op de blog van Applefanbe:

Re: 2006/02/16/magnolia-because-you-really-need-another-social-bookmarking-site/

Bart — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 04:38:14 -0000

I do not completely agree. There are indeed too many social bookmarking and photo sharing sites. But are there too many ajax start pages and online calenders? There are only a few ajax start pages that really work and their is no online calender that does the job well. But there are a lot of social bookmark sites that work, that's the problem, there all working well and non-beta! So I don't really understand why developers put all their efforts in it... On the other side, I'm still waiting for that perfect online calender (with import and export features) and ajax startpage (supporting multiple page for example), so they should be spending time on those applications because there is no number 1 yet.

There are quite a lot of Web 2.0 companies forgetting about users outside United States. During sign-up process they ask for a zip code and I must always cheat cause our zipcodes don't go higher than 9999.

Sometimes it's also hard to figure out whether a certain service works outside the States and that's something Ether does wrong in its communication as well. 1-888 is a total different number in Europe than in de States. I happen to know it's toll free but that's not as obvious as Americans think for foreign users.

Re: 2006/03/14/castingwords-podcast-transcriptions/

Bart — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 07:50:50 -0000

I've been wondering why speach-to-text software isn't being used to get transcripts from a podcast. Probably because speach-to-text engines need time to get to know a voice. Suppose this "voice-fingerprint" is a file which can be distributed? A technology could be developed to get to know a voice and this intelligence could be saved into a file. Everyone who gets this file can convert that voice to text. That would be neat!

Where is the link to the innerTree website?
Or is there something I don't get... Confusing article...

Re: 2006/03/17/innertee-t-shirt-remixing/

Bart — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 22:01:34 -0000

I've still no clue what that website is all about. There is threadless.com which totally rocks. I personally don't like cafÃ©press and similar businesses. innerTree looks weird, the logo looks weird. I can not define even one person who could be in the target group of this website, graphically speaking. It doesn't breath Web 2.0 at all. Still confused about this post...

Re: 2008/05/07/so-are-you-fed-up-with-facebook/

Bart — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:55:08 -0000

Facebook is still the number one social network where most of my friends and colleagues are present. I'm currently connected to +300 people and I enjoy seeing their pictures and reading their notes on a daily base. The most valuable tool is the "event" tool. I get informed about new events and I can subscribe right away. Even better, I can see which other friends will be present. There is no other social network (at least not in Belgium) that offers all these features and that hosts that many people. So, Iâ€™m not thinking about leaving it. The stream of application invites are over too. Now and then I get an invite from a newbie friend, but I donâ€™t bother. They just have to be educated a bit :)

I totally don't agree. This poll has been answered by people working the web sector or following the web very closely. This group is not representative for the bigger group that has joined Facebook!

Are we finally gonna stop with these political posts? Seriously I did not subscribe for this kind of news! Realize that there are many foreigners reading this blog who don't care about American politics. Or at least don't care about it THAT much. We have our own channels to follow the US elections! So please stop and get back on track!

Re: 2008/10/29/windows-7-netbook/

Bart — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:58:22 -0000

I've been running Vista for the past six month and I'm very happy with it. The user interface is much better than Windows XP and there are almost no crashes. I have to agree that the first months Vista wasn't very stable, but after some fixes things are running very smoothly. Starting up and shutting down is slow, that's true (that's why I only hibernate), but for the rest it works very fast on a new laptop. As for the features, there are no world shocking new features in Vista (well, there are but nobody uses them) and de sidebar... I turned it off because it took too much memory and was locking things up. The sidebar was actually the only thing that caused instability but that might be because of bad programmed gadgets. I'm not missing the sidebar at all, I can have the same gadgets in my browser (Netvibes) so why put them on your desktop? Side note: I'm a power user (web developer) using my laptop at least 10 hours a day running mainly graphical software (Adobe Suite). I could connect my mobile phone, camera, external hard disk, wireless mouse etc. without any problems. The only program I could not run was Pegasus Mail, but once I dragged it to the c:\ folder it worked without any problems. Summarized: Vista improved a lot latest months and everyone who says it sucks is clearly not using it.

Suggesties van een klant moet je filteren en juist vertalen. Letterlijk doen wat ze vragen doe je simpelweg nooit. Anders krijg je zulke resultaten natuurlijk...
