Ok just to see what it brings, I joined the digg movement where you can share what info on the web you like, and see what others like.
Now to let Digg's pass through to Twitter, you can subscribe to Twiggit, and tell them your Digg username and let them login to your Twigger acount to autopost your diggs!
I've made a Twitter account, with Twitter you can follow some1 and people can follow you.. its a bit like the statusbar in facebook or the WWW in hyves, but then WAY MORE dynamic.
You can follow or post through the web or like I have one of the many widgets (Twitterrific), or apps you can install on your desktop or iPhone to Twitter your daily needs and shares.
The main reason for me was to follow some of the podcast creators ive been listening to and be able to direct connect to them if necessary.. but its fun sharing daily points, plus it gives you the chance to get an answer quickly about matters you are working on, also focusing on some outstanding designers that I would like to follow..
Good list of different types of programs to use and languages/channels to choose from per game.
Also choose the application to view it with. I was already using SobCast and TVU player, but there are couple more to choose from.
YesTV SobCast stream did the NED1 broadcast for the already legendary NETHERLANDS vs ITALY game, so I could enjoy the game complete with dutch commentary (Frank Snoeks - Tom Egberts - Johan Cruijff etc) and vibe! :) what a cracker of a game!!
Forget the previous post about setting Mac OS to read NTFS with the little plugin I talked about earlier. THE tool to run multiple operating system is besides obviously bootcamp, (comes with MacOS) is virtual machine software like PARALLELS or VMware Fusion.
Ive been working with Parallels now for a week running my XP installation done with bootcamp, and i am a very happy chap now.
Besides the easy way of grabbing and altering files on the NTFS partition, I can run now all my windows applications inside MacOS and visa versa in XP. It even has some support for OpenGL and DirectX to run a small selection of games through the Virtual machine (no LFS *Sigh*). My first revelation was working in MacOS in Photoshop and having my Winamp (i hate iTunes) streaming my fav tunes through Parallels as an application running in my "dock" (task bar). Next was the impressive switching from windowed view to full screen XP, bit like turning a cube (like switching users in MacOS).
You can run the apps in a VM window or set the apps to run coherence (as they belong to MacOS), and it has great support for USB devices, like external HD's and camera's etc.
It hasnt installed my build in webcam actually, missed that one doing skype through parallels, but that can run in MacOS self anyway.
Besides XP you can run many other operating systems like Linux distri's or Vista etc on multiple Virtual Machines.
Going to try VMware Fusion also, they say it has a lot more grunt (runs faster) then Parallels.. lets see about that.
My friend Vicky told me this great feature of my SE w800i phone, and im sure many other phones have the same feature, but I really really like it!
When you use your phone alarm to wake up or anything else you need it for, my phone doesnt need to be on for it to start ringing in the morning. No worries about ur battery, just set alarm and turn your phone off.
Try if yours has it.. very helpfull little feature to make life tiny bit better :)
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!
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!
Sopcast, a TV viewer like TVU, but now on a bittorrent base, that means what you watch you share also, the more people watching the better the connection.
Gr8 idea, many funny channels and some known ones.
