Many friend and family members ask me how I have downloaded the movie we just saw. Mostly it are movies which are just a few days in theater or will be released on DVD in a week or so.

For those people and for the once who want to know what you can download where, here a download special.

This special doesn’t show you how to download, but just where you can find your download and what level of experience you need to download. Note: although the level says: ‘Advanced’, this doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just says that less experienced people may run into problems. Read the rest of this entry »

The new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) from CERN has an instrument called the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) will produce as much data as a digital camera with 60 mega pixels taking 40,000,000 pictures a second! This means they have to store and analyse more than a terabyte of data a second across multiple servers on earth. To do so they are building a new network to carry all this data with a speed of more than 10,000 times the speed Internet now has. The Grid it’s called, and no doubt about it that this project will succeed, cause these people also invented the Internet. Read the rest of this entry »

Since it is possible to register a free domain at www.dot.tk, many people did so, but there is just one thing, people like me did not yet register a .tk domain. When you register a .tk domain, you get a lot of adds on your site, and that is excialy the last thing you want, unless you get payed for it.

But since a few days, it’s possible to get a free .tk domain without the adds, so from now on, you can visit this blog by going to: www.pakkusblog.tk

I wrote this DLL for school, I had to execute a lot of queries and I wanted it to do in an easy and understandable way. So here is a DLL which can execute queries, but it can also execute a query (select only) to a listview and it can export it to a dataset. Very easy to use, so give it a shot!

(Probably) all of you get email, and just like this guy next to this text, we all are very happy with it :-p

I recently switched from VB.NET 2003 to 2008 and I wanted to do  something with e-mail. So here is a DLL to read/download (POP3) email and to send (SMTP) email. Read the rest of this entry »

At school we have a proxy server which blocks a few sites, like myspace and sort of things like that. So to get around this, I bought a website: HappySurfing.Info, it is an anonymous web proxy, just fill in your website URL and the proxy brings you there, easy as that. So try it out: Happy Surfing!

Always dreamed of a desktop on the web? Well now you can, I made a website: http://www.mywebdesk.org, it is a website where you can create an account (and by this create also an e-mail address) and with this you can access your new desktop, it provides everything you can imagine: games, office processors and so on. So try it and go to MyWebDesk.Org to access your new desk.

Normally I don’t post more than 1 post a day, but it seems that there is a MBR-virus around the Internet so I thought I will help you fix this virus if you get one. Read the rest of this entry »

For the ones who have recently lived under a rock, OpenID is a decentralized single sign-on system. Using OpenID-enabled sites, web users do not need to remember traditional authentication tokens such as username and password. Instead, they only need to be previously registered on a website with an OpenID “identity provider” (IdP). Since OpenID is decentralized, any website can employ OpenID software as a way for users to sign in; OpenID solves the problem without relying on any centralized website to confirm digital identity.

Will this truly be the future? Will the username/password era soon be over? Read the rest of this entry »
