Starting RSS Graffiti

A year ago, around January 2009, I was looking for a way to liven up the Fan Page I was maintaining in Facebook for Blues.Gr (the Blues social network I run on Ning). One easy thing to do, was obviously to post to the Facebook Fan Page wall, updates from Blues.Gr so that people can learn about what is going on over at Blues.Gr easily through their daily Facebook activity feeds. Best way to do that of course was to do it automatically by reading the RSS feeds available on Blues.Gr and posting any new entries to the Facebook Fan Page. So I started looking for a Facebook application that would do just that...

Synchronised Streaming for Spotify?

Now, before I forget about it, here is an idea that might be good for Spotify to look into: Synchronized streaming. What would that be? I think it would be quite cool (and viral) if Spotify allowed any number of users to listen to the same playlist in sync. Some user would start playing it [...]

My social toolbox

I started working on a map of my social toolbox in mindmeister. The purpose is to lay the tools I use out on a piece of “paper” and try to repurpose them, get rid of obsolete or redundant tools and arrive to a more usable and concise tools box. The mind map is by no [...]

Project A: The goal is to [...]

XML CV

It started a few years ago (somewhere in mid 2003), when I created my previous web site (same address, older technology), which was based on Windows SharePoint Services version 2.0. Goal of the project was to create a single source CV for multiple platforms and applications. Requirements: Edit the [...]

What I’m currently working on…

I decided to start posting about my current projects. Lot’s of times I promise myself that "I will publish something about this great project after I finish it". But, I never managed to keep those promises. Why? Simply because there is always a next big thing after the last. I came to realize that if [...]

Can’t change access modifiers when inheriting from Generic Types.

Well I might be silly, but I had not run-up to this one yet. Until just now: You cannot change the accessibility level of a class member by means of hiding when inheriting from a generic type. Consider this example. A simple console application using two classes: MyList inherits from List and My2ndList inherits from [...]

Geospatial Instant Messaging

I just discovered Leica TITAN Network. A geospatial data sharing, communication and collaboration network by Leica Geosystems. Maybe you want to have a look at it here. It’s a free download.
