wauw, Mijn ING interface omkat, werd eens tijd! jquery, css sprites, friendly urls, fijn

love that this flickr short url contains the word 'blue' RT @milo Rotterdam Centraal http://flic.kr/p/bLueLn

still wonder what it is about the loading of custom webfonts on some websites that causes Windows browsers to freeze for 30 seconds or more

hope this Chrome bug gets fixed: Disabling javascript breaks HTML error pages http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=118867

gah, "Hugo" has some of the worst teal-and-orange colorization I've seen in a while, distracts from the beautiful shots quite a bit, sigh

lightbox app notifications on android are a bit spammy, shame. "Checked your feed today?" etc

our cat just jumped on my laptop and View Source'd a webpage with its paws/butt. I'm so proud.

vraag me af waar het grote #IFFR dashboard in geprogrammeerd is / op draait... #rondehoekjes

Just realized sth annoying about new twitter: it emphasises showing full names before nicknames; other way round would make more sense to me

fijn potje analoge wordfeud gespeeld (en gewonnen) dit weekend

feeling nostalgic for my (now broken) first-gen Ricoh GR Digital camera, tempted to get latest model: http://ricoh.com/r_dc/gr/gr_digital4/

one big thing native mobile apps seem to do a lot better than web apps: maintaining correct scroll position on back-navigation #android #ui

so it only took me 2.5 yrs to realize I can quickly change ISO speed on my Pentax K20D by holding ok-button and rotating front wheel.. nifty

rooted my HTC Desire to Cyanogenmod (+ Zeam Launcher), yay for apps2sd, finally no more problems with internal storage filling up

did I just hear a matrix printer sound effect over a shot of an inkjet printer, in Luther ep S02E03?

wishing Google Calendar month view would just let me scroll down instead of always compacting all days to fit into available vertical space

a pointer

For the non-Flickr-contacts that visit here: there's tons more Berlin photos to see in this Flickr set of mine, and plenty more on the way, probably.

Almost three weeks on, and browsing through the many photos of my short trip still makes me discover more cool stuff to post. If only the photos sucked, maybe then I would learn not to shoot so many; but no, somehow I like almost every one of the 1000+ photos I made. I'll be in real trouble the next time I go on a longer trip.

hidden Flickr referrers

Looking at my Flickr most-viewed photos stats just now, I was surprised at how many views this photo had gotten - 542 views with barely any comments or faveings! As it turns out that might have something to do with the fact that it's actually the 4th(!) result in Google for the phrase no smoking allowed - while a copy of the same photo on my own site is the 5th result.

Which makes me wonder how many other people end up on my Flickr photostream via Google, or via any other site for that matter, without me realizing it... I guess it's too much to ask Flickr to offer personalized referrer listings for stats-addicts like me. :)

Update:
This problem is solved, for Pro-users anyway, with the recent introduction of Flickr Stats!

December 2005

Saving the photos I take in my dreams doesn't seem to get any easier; I checked and double-checked the viewscreen and memory card this time (recalling past experiences), but still they disappeared.

The only conversation I had yesterday was with somebody calling me up to ask me 50 questions about cheese.

NS Zomeractie

Belangrijk bericht voor treinreizende bezoekers: hebben jullie je kaartnummers al 's gecontroleerd op de NS Zomeractie pagina? Elke dag maak je opnieuw kans op prijzen.

Als je een aardig voorraadje kaarten hebt heb je bijna altijd prijs; ik heb inmiddels al drie dagkaarten, drie ijsjes en 1 flesje frisdrank(!) gewonnen. [via Martijn]

I have Gmail

Had it for some time now (thanks to Brent), still don't know what to do with it; I generally don't use web-based email.

But if you have any interesting large-but-mailable files (mp3s, pictures, whatever), feel free to send them to gmail.com,milovermeulen. I'm trying to see how fast I can fill up the 1GB limit... :)

my name in chalk


Wow... Don't see that very often.
Having a relatively uncommon name means that when I see it it's usually because I wrote it or it refers to me. But apparently I'm not the only Milo in my neighborhood. :)
