The moment I spotted the squirl under the hood of this car in this picture I found, I just couldn't stop laughing..

Interesting development from Microsoft:

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web. The Silverlight 1.0 will auto-update to the final release.

They say vector based graphics... wow! Now im an impressed pixel boy!

Seen this over at daep.dyndns.org - Dae Punt's Blog

Update:
The link to Dae Punt is fixed, he got his own domain now :)

Its really happening now, Per is also on facebook.com.. dont know how to categorize facebooks, but i have the slight feeling this is way more global spread then the hyves from holland :)

Funny again, after I made an account for my mate Mark, the people just started rolling in who I never thought who would be on there... really interesting, and good to have a new link with them.

It looks kinda boring for a start but facebooks, has a massive list of applications that you can use.. it really exceeds hyves. You can play games with each other, give gifts have an aquarium, be a Vampire you name it.... over 1000 applications you can use in your facebooks.
Havent seen you can customize your profile in style, but you can easily through your apps and fields around.

I hooked up my blog with the app flogblog, and was surprised with the settings I was able to pull my rss feed in from DUIJNUNDER.com.

Anyway lets see how this goes! :)

You have to make an account in order to view the contents of facebook :) sorry!

To utilize my new photoframe a bit more, a cd tip.. just chucked this one on my MP3 player! Soooooo gooooood !

With an awesome crew we went up the central coast, and camped near the beach... besides the Dingo's who stole our snacks (sausages) for brekkie (breakfast), and seeing some1 catching Sharks!!! We played some footy on the beach, watched the footy on generator powered tv in the sand dunes with a bunch of surf dudes, had massive barbie
(bbq), and drunk 300$ of booz with 8 ppl.
Not a bad weekend I must say.. pff, this one is going to be long long talked about.. YAY

Watch some other photo's of the weekend - HERE -

Now im back in Australia, looking for proper communication, I started using skype again. Ive used skype ages ago a couple of times, and it just didnt do it for me at that time. But now.. OMFG, this is superb stuff! Just finished a great chat with my lovely Sil, and my parents on our crappy internet connection in Aus (512/1536 shared by 6 ppl), with full screen webcam view (640x480). Tried todo this with MSN many times before but its just too crappy.. skype just deals with this very well and distibutes very good quality, and way less drop-outs. This is also so much better versus the normal phone.. and its still FREE ! YAY! /me love free. lol

skype me up if you want on skype name "pervanduijn"

ps.
If you still have my old one in your list (cloggie_in_oz) please delete!

talk & see u soon! :)

To start my monday morning with some tweakin, just killed the annoying balloon text pop-ups. YAY!

If you want to do it also, use this microsoft article:HERE

The question of today is going to be:

How do I convert RGB to CMYK with the best possible result on my for web created graphics.

Converting to CMYK isnt the problem though, but preserving the RGB colours that are GAMUT problems.

If any good tips.. please help a web dude to proper printing material :)
