For websites it isn’t so easy as it is for apps to get some attention on a users iPad homescreen. Apps get an icon on the iPad homescreen when installed but it isn’t very likely a user will bookmark your website when visiting it on an iPad. Because of this you might want to show your iPad visitors how easy it is to add your website as a favorite with a little hint at the top of your website.This tutorial shows you how to add a quick and easy iPad homescreen tip to your website using jQuery. Before adding the Javascript and CSS to your website don’t forget to upload an apple-touch-icon to your websites root directory! Download all files mentioned, a css3 variant and a working example.

New theme for kaisersblog.com, tell me what you think

Yay! New theme installed for my blog. I got a bit bored with my old theme which not only had some issues but the design was getting antique really fast. The new theme is an adaptation of the Smooth theme by Benoît “LeBen” Burgener. I made some changes and added some extras so it still has some elements of my old design. This way returning visitors are hopefully not totally lost when visiting my blog. The Smooth theme is a lot easier on the eye and hase some nice SEO features. It is a widget-ready theme dedicated to writers. Its simplicity, light grey background and large fonts put the content ahead. Nothing useless, just fine typography and a touch of colors.

I intend to actively maintain my blog in the future and this new theme is a great start in my opinion. It is still a work in progress and I haven’t got all my plugins up and running but all things will be back to normal soon. My old posts might not always look good but i’ll try fix that as soon as possible too. Until then let me know if you see something not working or anything missing. Besides that i’d like to hear what you think of the new design!

Although Windows Media Player 12 supports Dolby Digital it will often have problems playing AC3 audio. Most common problems are: no audio at all or stuttering playback. With previous versions users could use a workaround by using Windows Media Player Classic. One could change settings in WMP Classic to prefer ac3filter or ffdshow and Windows Media Player 11 or below would use those settings. Since version 12 of Windows Media Player this method doesn’t work anymore. Use this fix to enable ac3filter or ffdshow as your preffered audio decoder in WMP12:

In another attempt to create my ultimate TV setup I will be working on a new installation of my HTPC over the next few days (or weeks, depending on the problems encountered).

The idea: Dual tuners, combining DVB-S and DVB-T with the possibility to watch and record at the same time on multiple devices (TV, PC and mobile) with network streaming.

The hardware:

  • 78cm dish  (4 LNB’s  w/ Diseq switch)
  • Skystar USB 2 HD CI (DVB-S)
  • Cinergy DVB-T MKII
  • Infinity USB Unlimited (DVB-T)
  • AMD Athlon dualcore 64-bit / ATI 1950XT / 2GB RAM / 2TB storage
  • Nokia N900 (for bluetooth and IR remote control)

The Software:

  • DVBLink TVsource (connected version)
  • Windows 7 Media Center
  • Hadu CCCam client (DVB-S)
  • Acamd plugin (maybe Splug) (DVB-T)
  • Infinity USB software (DVB-T)

Exclusive rough-cut of first in-depth documentary on WikiLeaks and the people behind it. From summer 2010 until now, Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network WikiLeaks and its Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange.

Reporters Jesper Huor and Bosse Lindquist have traveled to key countries where WikiLeaks operates, interviewing top members, such as Assange, new Spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, as well as people like Daniel Domscheit-Berg who now is starting his own version – Openleaks.org. Where is the secretive organization heading? Stronger than ever, or broken by the US? Who is Assange: champion of freedom, spy or rapist? What are his objectives? What are the consequences for the internet?

Another small website I made just for fun is An ode to Klaas. And it’s not an  ode to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar :) The website is probably only fun for dutch people because it shows all tweets about Klaas from Nico Dijkshoorn (@dijshoorn).

If you’re interested in the code behind it, click here to download. It’s easy to adjust to your own wishes.

http://modemintel.com/img/logo.pngModemintel.com is a new website I made in the last couple of days. It’s nothing fancy, just a simple design to a lot of data. At first I wanted to write a blogpost about a list of default modem and router passwords but it was just too much for just one blogpost. So I decided to launch this minisite Modemintel.com.

For now you will find the list of default modem and router passwords I was talking about and a list of default ports for games and applications. I will add some nice content later on including: 5000 most popular passwords, WiFi security testing for Windows and some tutorials for beginners on how to forward ports in your network and some basic home networks setup instructions. Of course my most popular post about hacking the Thompson Speedtouch routers can also be found there. And last but not least, a download section with software for your home network will be added as soon as possible.

Since it has been a while I shared some goodies on my blog I thought today might be a good day for that. This time no 1337 password cracker or plugin collection but something a little more basic… Wallpapers! I’m not only sharing my, very cool I might say, HD wallpaper collection but also Wallpaper SlideShow 2.4.3 pro for rotating wallpapers on your Windows PC and Google’s Picasa because that’s just the best solution for viewing and sharing your images. Besides that Picasa 3 also has some cool screensaver options. The wallpaper archive contains more than 400 HD wallpapers and are sorted in the following categories: Animals, Cars, Nature, Travel and Computer.

Lock full screen video with dual monitors

You can never have enough screen space, especially when you are a multi-tasking addict like me. I have been using dual screen setups for years now and i’m not alone. A lot of  people use two, three or even more monitors  at work and at home. Thing is, in all those years using multiple screens I  find support for it in all kinds of software is minimal. I don’t know of any games that take real advantage of multiple screens, most software doesn’t have genuine supprt for multiple screens and what bothers me most, no video player has decent dual screen features.

I like to ‘watch’ video will i’m working or surfing the internet. My major problem is when I start a video and enable full screen as soon as I click in the other monitor the video player resizes to default resolution. All web video players do this. It doesn´t matter if it´s Silverlight, Flash, Windows Media Player or even Youtube´s new HTML5 player they all refuse to stay fullscreen when using the other screen. So, since all web video players show this behavior one might think the root of the problem isn’t in the web players but probably browser or operating system related. I’m a Windows user (Win7 at the moment), so that will be the start of my research. First test: Windows’ default player Windows Media Player.
