C64 DTV Sneak Preview [ Commodore 64 ]

closeup_side_C64DTV-small.jpg

A sneak preview for all the fans of the C= Commodore 64.
This week someone gave me a NTSC version of the C64 DTV and we played some retro games. AWESOME !!!
But I am still wondering what the small red buttons do (next to the reset button). Click the image to see the image bigger.

Enjoy the extra pics. as my sources are okay there will be a limited number of NTSC versions available in Europe. If your TV System is supporting it: you have colour, if not; black/white.

keep an eye on the C= world page for ordering.

Comment Spam

Today and yesterday evening my site was suffering from severe comment spam again.

This time
Name: texas holdem poker
Email Address: wbm@mailon.co
URL: http://texas-holdem-000.biz

Caused all the system loads.
They spammed the comments with about 150 different IP addresses this time. Now I need to shut-down comments and put all IP addresses in the .htaccess file. This file is getting big now.

AroundMyRoom Podcast [VOC002]

Een 9 minuten lange podcast waarin ik besluit om het Engels achter mij te laten en gewoon in het Nederlands te Podcasten.

Ik praat in deze Podcast over de nieuwe C64-DTV en ik vraag mij af waarom sommigen webloggers / sites wel MP3’s of Streams op hun website kunnen hebben en houden en anderen direct door de SENA of BREIN achterna gezeten worden.

YahooGroups Online Search Tool using MySQL

Yahoogroups online search tool based on mysql

I searched very long for a tool to make the archive available in my own database.
Yahoo2mbox did not do it’s job I wanted
PG Offline was doing half what I wanted. So I needed to extend this kind of service.
So we did.

I was not happy with the way Yahoo is providing its search functionality to its users
My mailinglist is having more than 56.000 messages starting from the year 1999. Searching this database
will take hours. Now with these scripts: seconds.

find it in my scripts folder

A little experiment cause I am using also a MovableType Plugin to see if it is inserted as enclosure. Again I am one of the few dutch webloggers doing this.
