www.loonheffingennummer.com
Next to sofinummer.com and banknummer.com I’ve now created loonheffingennummer.com. Although a loonheffingennummer has the same validations as a sofinummer (but for the extension of e.g. L01), this has allowed me to move all three sites to Google AppEngine, cancel my Dreamhost account and host them for free.

A Yahoo Pipe to add hyperlinks to your Twitter...
I often use to favor certain tweets in order to read the links in them at a later moment. To do so I added the RSS feed of my Twitter Favorites to NetNewsWire. Unfortunately the items in the RSS feed consist of plain text linking to the corresponding status page on Twitter. Some time ago I used Yahoo Pipes to create a RSS feed that linkifies my Twitter Favorites RSS feed. Yesterday I made this a...

Greyscale Tweetie for Mac menubar icons
Tweetie for Mac has been released, a Twitter client with a simple, but still feature rich, user-interface. Unfortunately the menubar icon uses a glowing blue icon to indicate new Twitter messages. I’ve changed both icons to be greyscale and made them less heavy by making them an outline of the Tweetie dock icon. I’ve also added one pixel to their height to make it align better...

Grayscale Little Snitch Network Monitor
A great tool for Mac OS X is Little Snitch. It’s a tool that monitors all your applications network activity and lets you create rules to allow/disallow certain network activity. It comes with a small menubar application, Little Snitch Network Monitor, that shows the current network activity. The menubar icon uses red and green bars to show the amount of download and upload. This choice of...

How to create a md5sum of a partial part of a file
At home I have a NAS that holds all my media files. Next to residing on my NAS these files are also backed up to dvd. To be able to move these files around while also changing their filenames I needed an way to fingerprint these files. As I only needed the fingerprint to match files to each other, not to validate their contents, and as the files reside on an external disk I though that using...

Restoring a corrupt iTunes library
After inserting an external hard drive yesterday, my iTunes library became corrupt. It apparently saw the external hard drive as the location of my music, something for which I indeed used the drive eons ago. After disconnecting the drive I noticed that some newly added songs would not sync to my iPhone. I reconnected the external drive, checked the location of my music (which as I later found...

Moving a NTFS Windows XP installation to a new...
This weekend I’ve been trying to move Esther her Windows XP installation from a NTFS partition to a new, larger harddrive. Initially I tried doing this using a Clonezilla live CD, by letting Clonezilla create an image of each partition (the Windows XP installation, the rescue partition, etc.) to an USB drive. Restoring the images to the new harddrive failed because there appeared to be...

Moving from Google Reader back to NetNewsWire
On my daily commute I pass some spots where my iPhones reception is flaky at best. As this leads me to staring into the void of Google Reader trying to fetch some articles, I really want to use a feed reader that downloads articles in advance. Next to this I didn’t really like Google Readers interface on the iPhone (too much unnecessary links on the frontpage and the fixed viewport makes...

Googling for my domain name
While googling for www.kuijjer.com I found out that the Did you mean result gives a lot of insight in Googles pervasive knowledge. It even has knowledge of my family relations and shows the last name of my mother :)

Adding Google Analytics to DotClear
To add the JavaScript needed by Google Analytics to DotClear I simply added a text widget using the Presentation widgets menu option. Keeping the Title empty makes the script appear invisible, and dechecking the Home page only checkbox adds the script to every page.

First impressions of DotClear on Gandi
Installing DotClear on my domain was a breeze. As it is hosted by my domain registrar Gandi, it merely consisted of a few clicks and changing the default subdomain of blog to www. The next steps will consist of making a few adjustments: Looking through the default themes, and picking one with a minimal, clean look Changing that theme to look more minimal (e.g. by letting links be...
