I'm a 32-year-old webdeveloper living in Wateringen, working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
This is my personal weblog.
Sometimes I make art with code.
I like to make lots of photos, of which I post my faves here.

I know! I was trying to save it for something cool, but then I couldn't think of anything, and then I forgot all about it, and then I posted this, and then I thought oh well.
I'm not sure how well it translates to photo (didn't really find a good spot to capture the whole thing), but this was the most amazing sunset I have ever seen...
This PC's video card is hooked up to a splitter for a projector and regular monitor, and everything gets a bluish cast. This picture and the previous ones really fit together now. Rather good, I'd say. Unlike my explanation here. :-)
Being a little curious I checked to see if the exif info was available but due to the resizing I guess it fell of. But it would be cool if it still was there wouldn’t it? And then thinking about it, it wouldn’t be to hard to cook up a little php that reads the exif.
I've stumbled across your blog once again... I really like the capture of the almost futuristic ceiling. The tree-thing in the background prevents the photo from being completely futuristic though. However, I'm no expert. Just my two cents.
Funny, that. I actually thought about erasing out the tree (would have been real easy in this case), but trees count as Good Things in my mind, so I couldn't bring myself to do it.
What nice compliments! It was a play on words with "where ABC *meets* XYZ". Colliding is usually not a good thing, hence the use of collide. That's how my brain works :)
Indeed. And your site is a great example of that. Have you ever had a case of referrer spam ?
BTW, I've got tricked 1 or 2 times by your referrer box when I checked the referrers in my stats. I clicked on a link and shazaam the URL of my stats appeared in full on your site :p Oops
Yeah, that's tricky... ;)
I am getting hundreds of attempts at comment- and referrer-spam every day. I filter a lot of it via php but this new .htaccess-based method saves some cpu-power.
The new Nucleus referrer plugin checks the referring webpage to see if there is really a link to your site. That is a very solid way for verifying if you are(n't) dealing with spam (though links accessed through a webmail or online rss aggregator cannot be verified). http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/item/57
It could be a kind of magic bullet if in case of a fake referrer it send for approval an updated version of the .htaccess to the admin to filter referrer spams from/for similar domains.
However I fear such plugin put the server into a crawl during a spam fiesta with dozens/hundreds of spam attempts per minute.
Actually, Roel, that still doesn't provide fool-proof protection. All it takes is one smart enough spammer to keep a bucket of [ip] => [hostname1..hostnameN] translations and dynamically insert a link to all hostnames for the IP doing the request.
