Drakonen.com

Finally i had the impulse to buy my own domain: drakonen.com. I ‘moved’ my blog to this domain which took a simple symlink. Making Nginx do a moved permanently redirect was a bit harder though, and caused quite some frustration. But here it is:
server {
server_name     drakonen.digigen.nl;
if ($http_host = ‘drakonen.digigen.nl’ ) {
rewrite  ^(.*)  http://drakonen.com$1  permanent;
}
}
This can [...]

P900, linux and connection to the internet

I got an unlimited gprs/umts plan for my P900 a while ago, so I wont be needing a windows pc anymore to connect to the internet. What would be nice though is connecting from my laptop to the internet using my P900. I found this site which seems to do the trick pretty well. More [...]

Registering in is sooo web 1.0

I’m really fond of anonymous or non-registered web sites. If you can please do it, and devise some smart way to not make people to have to register. Registering on yet an other site is annoying and most of the time its totally useless. I don’t want to register just to read your site. This [...]

Top at Google

I seem to have beaten Last.fm and ebay on the Drakonen keyword and am ranked first! joy joy.
Maybe it’s because I started using Google Analytics on this blog, which is a very nice thing to do to yourself. you can see if there is activity on your site, see which links users click, where they [...]

The Google effect

My nickname, which I thought was a pretty unique one (atleast in it’s spelling) does not seem to be… unique. When I google on my nickname this blog comes in fourth. My Last.fm page is the first and a photo made by dodo of me in a Japanese metro second. Thirdth is some dude which [...]

Phone stuff, unlimited internet

Last week I took a new subscription for my phone. t-mobile has a nice offer called web and walk. 9.50E for unlimited internet access on your phone. Getting it is not easy though. You can’t get in on their website, and as I do not call that much their store wasn’t an option too. They [...]

Migration

Today i migrated from SphpBlog to wordpress, and I must say, Wordpress is nice, although pretty complex. the SimplePHPBlog was very simple indeed! but… advanced users like advanced features, and plugins!
The most work was getting the WPG2 plugin to work nicely, and find a theme which supported the widgets. I still need to edit the [...]

ohnoos! we gots no internet!!

A powerfailure struck amsterdam today. At my work it suddenly became very silent when the servers stopped roaring. Some colleagues lost some work when their PC’s went out and I lost nothing! hurray laptops!
When the power was back, WE GOTS NO INTERNET. atleast.. not working fully. Seems like one of the largest dutch internet hubs [...]

Last.fm music streams

I’ve been a user of the audioscrobbler plugin (all mayor players) for a while now, but today I explored the new Last.fm stuff.
They have a pretty cool last.fm player. It delivers some sort of shoutcast service BUT they are personalised! It chooses music depending on the music you listen often. It creates a personalised stream [...]

Connecting p900 to pc using bluetooth

Connecting my p900 to the internet via my linux pc using bluetooth seems to be a big hassle. That’s one thing that sony ericsson did well with their windows drivers. it’s just a matter of installing the riht driver, connecting the usb station, put the phone on and start opera. You can just browse without [...]
