I have a scratch on my new GoPro Hero2 housing lens.

So I was looking if it was possible to remove the scratch and found this post, where someone said it was possible to remove the scratch using Silver Polish

http://goprouser.freeforums.org/fast-easy-and-inexpensive-case-lens-cover-scr...

So I tested it in this video, but it didn't work and I also might have rubbed off the infrared coating on the lens.

Anyway, I'm going to order the lens replacement kit http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/lens-replacement-kit/

And I will be more carefull with the camera.

It's exactly 3 years ago that I tweeted preparing...

What was I preparing?, well I was busy setting up a YouTube URL shortener, at that time there was no YouTube URL shortener, so I thought it was a nice idea to create.

Many people asked why anyone would need a URL shortener. Well in short, it's handy with Twitter, and the link indicates a video, and on top of that you get click view statistics.

The first step was to register the Italian domain youtw.it
That was a somewhat difficult process and remember that I had to fax twice.

Then I started coding on the Google App Engine platform and created the service in Python using opensource ur.ly code 

After a few nights of coding I had a working service with a bookmarklet and ready to be used.
But when I wanted to put it live I found out that App Engine didn't support naked domains.

I checked Microsoft Azure and they didn't support naked domains as well.

So I posted on googleappengine support thead 777 and had contact with the App Engine people, but up until now it's not there.

To be able to continue my plan I created a workaround using the free DNS redirecter service http://freedns.afraid.org
But I didn't put it live because I wasn't comfortable with the workaround.

In December my father passed away.

In 2009 we moved in our new house, lots of work needed to be done in the house.

Months passed by and then in late 2009 YouTube launched there own URL shortener http://goo.gl and later even http://youtu.be

The idea faded between other ideas like creating my first iPhone app PicoZoo

I paid the domain every year, but now my money is finished. I decided to re-evaluate the idea and asked around if people would use it and I got good feedback.

So based on the feedback and current situation I have decided to discontinue the service. 

Here is a screenshot of the service in action.

I was wondering if CSS3 provides something to do vertical centering easy, and it does, look at the code below, love it...

Center stage: positioning in the middle

Centering something horizontally and vertically has long been a challenge in CSS. The best CSS-only solution we have is position:absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; paired with negative left/top margins that equal half of the width/height. And that only flies with explicitly sized elements. Ugh! With flexbox we can get there a touch easier:

We don't set box-flex on the child because we don't want it using extra space. We just want it to be in the middle, regardless of it's size. The huge advantage is here, that we don't need to have explicit dimensions in order to center it. We could be doing this with something that's typically block or inline. It just works.

munten, euro, geld

original (translated by Google)

Netherlands has the world rankings as far as the highest petrol prices in the world.Even countries like Denmark and Greece, which normally compete with the Netherlands in terms of highest price per liter, behind us. So says Erik van Erne by Milieunet , the development of gasoline prices since 2008 is watching.

In an earlier study from the Netherlands reported December First in Europe with Greece.

Fuel

Erne of basing his conclusions on a review of Good Environment . Good did a study of the highest prices in dollars per gallon (3.78 liters), which the Netherlands at the top spot ended with a gasoline price of $ 8.83 per gallon. Mark Rutte was in the U.S. entitled "8 Dollar-Per-Gallon-President."

The biggest reason for the high fuel tax increase of 0.6% per 1 January 2011. The rising cost of a barrel of crude oil, peak oil moment (the moment when oil production reaches its peak) and continued unrest in Libya to play smaller roles.

Government

The average national retail price in the Netherlands is currently € 1,719 per liter. The government deserves most to high petrol prices: The price disappears liter € 1.04 in the treasury.

Reliable sources told us that Tiësto will perform at the White House on the first of July 2011

Obama is a great fan of Tiësto and said that it is a great honor to welcome him at a meeting to be held at the White House in July this year. The meeting will be streamed live at http://www.whitehouse.gov

We are very excited about this, and can't wait to see Tiësto perform in Washington.

Sometimes you come across some really cool code that's clever written.
I like the following code that uses a modulo to loop a counter;

sounds[current].play;
current = (current + 1) % sounds.length;

Anyway, I found this from the Finch audio engine project (a Simple, low-latency OpenAL sound engine for Apple iOS)

Cyriel played live at the XT3 Techno Radio studio in Amsterdam on Januari 5 2011

He asked me to record the webcam stream, but due some reasons this recording failed (had a support call from my work, and my disk had not enough space and IShowU sucks).

I got some studio photo's and video's from Niels and created this video in a attempt to recreate the live event experience that we all saw on the webcam stream. I really like the part where the others dj's were dancing in the studio. Well done Cyriel!

We hope to see more from you in 2011
