Firebug for Firefox 3
Firebug is a very handy extension for web developers. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. Currently I am using Firefox 3 beta which is not supported by the current build but is by the development build. Firebug is really an outcome for AJAX development since you can't see the code normally that is generated by your AJAX stuff. Firebug enables you to debug your javascript. Since the website getfirebug.com is down for the moment I made the xpi for version 1.2 beta 5 available for download or intallation here.
RobotChallenge Vienna 2008
Already more than a month ago, finally I've got the photo's of the RobotChallenge on my web site. The robotchallenge in Vienna is an international event where teams compete in different challenges. Chaekith Chandranna and I participated in the Parallel Slalom and Enhanced Parallalel Slalom challenges. The robotchallenge was a very nice experience. No prizes …
Happy Birthday, Mr Feynman
Today, May 11th, it is Richard Feynman's birthday. A great scientist that won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Besides being a great scientist he was able to express the ideas to the general public. The documentary "The pleasure of finding things out" by Horizon is worth the watching and it inspires to do science ;-). …
The Double
After reading Blindness (De stad der Blinden) of José Saramago I definitely wanted to read more from this Nobel Prize winning author. I started in his book Het Schijnbestaan (Eng: The Cave, Orig: A Caverna) but haven't finished it yet. Blindness is one of my favourite books, however The Double seemed to be quite different.
Manchester
Some months ago we have been to Manchester. Visiting the stadium and the city centre. On the photo you see our guide in the stadium. Many Dutch players seem to play for the club (e.g. Van der Sar). The city centre was definitely not as good as Oxford or Stratford upon Avond. We met Chinsky …
The Boondock Saints
"We must all fear evil man. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear most. And that is the indifference of good man." Two people actually put up this movie as one of their best movies, so I thought there was a need to wacht it. And, okay it was funny sometimes, …
Guantánamo Bay
In The Guardian today: The former head of interrogations at Guantánamo Bay found that records of an al-Qaida suspect tortured at the prison camp were mysteriously lost by the US military, according to a new book by one of Britain's top human rights lawyers. Retired general Michael Dunlavey, who supervised Guantánamo for eight months in …
Birmingham Central Mosque
Some months ago I went to the Mosque in Birmingham. The trip was organised by DSU and is part of the interfaith project. The mosque is one of the biggest in Europe. As a main place of worship I therefore expected it to be a wealthy place, however it turned out te be quite basic …
Gieten
Not sure where you want to go on your next holiday. Then, what about Gieten, my former home village, on the signs when entering the village it says "It happens, in Gieten". Gieten means "pooring down", however the name is more likely derived from Goats. So, enjoy, and see this touristic video about this exciting …
Vitamins
Publications about vitamins, you see them over and over. However the conclusions are usually more or less the same. People with a healthy diet claim that we don't need supplements, people from the industry will claim we need them, the government will probably not say anything about them but they will try to stimulate a …
