Another Immo beauty:

So, our appartment got sold so we’re looking for a new place. A nice house for us and our cats, we hope 🙂

So while surfing immoweb, we ran across this beauty:

Wng in grne omg, bos aan 2 zdn in doodl str, zr rstg en vlg, bij Halle en Bru. Lg kad ink wgns besch wng. Elctr toeg poort, 20m oprit

I guess some people think they have to pay pr ltr. Trnsltns wlcm! 

 Turns out we had an MMS stream that needed to be saved again, I used to have some tool that did that but it wasn’t all that great and in the meanwhile my PC got reinstalled so I went to look for a solution again. Streamripper doesn’t do MMS (or so it seems), so I landed at Swiss Army Knife VideoLAN .

What to do:

1. Save your ASF file
2. Open it up in an editor and copy/paste the mms:// url
3. Open up your commandline (if vlc(.exe) isn’t in your path, change to your VLC directory or type the full path)
4. vlc -vvv mms://foo –sout file/avi:bar.avi (replace foo by your mms url and bar.avi by your desired output file)

Could it be any easier? 

Probably, but still. 😉 

Like a bunch of other users, I suddenly noticed “moderation.php” returned completely empty pages. Apparently something broke, when too many posts are to be moderated. You can either use the links in your email to moderate them, or use this “fix” from the support forum.

So true!

Try it! Although I had a look at the answer sheet.

Question 1 about MySpace I had correct, though I guessed. "Tom" was the obvious choice of course 😉

Got the Digg question wrong.

And this one too apparently, wtf, question 24:

Which of the following is a valid IP address? 550.18.1.4.62

As far as I can see that’s not a valid IP. I clicked 10.0.0.1, which in my opinion IS valid. 

After the Apostrophe Protection Society , we now have the Spatiegebruik website. Please stop the "spatie ziekte" ! The examples are ‘funny’. If you’re into that sort of thing. 🙂

Language police isn’t only available in Dutch it seems… Great stuff .

Via cedric (on IRC):

If you use Outlook as your email client and make use of plain-text messages, you will have noticed that Outlook doesn’t exactly feature the most intelligent quoting algorithm; in fact, it’s the silliest one imaginable. Outlook-QuoteFix can modify MS Outlook’s message composition windows on-the-fly to allow for correct quoting and to change the appearance of your plain-text replies and forwards in general: move your signature, use compressed indentation, customize your quote header, etc.

If you (have to) use Microsoft Outlook for your e-mail needs, you really do need Outlook-QuoteFix – I didn’t know it existed up till now (I knew there was a patch for Outlook Express only), so that’s quite some good news… Outlook really isn’t that bad, but there’s still a few things I don’t like about it before I could use it on my windows box as my email client…

Fwiw, I use Evolution 2.6.3 via Remote X (Cygwin) on my Windows box 😉 

Woop. You can’t own a number, plzkthx.
