100th GP victory Valentino Rossi

June 28, 2009 – 22:32
We went to TT Assen yesterday to go see Valentino Rossi win his 100th Grand Prix in the MotoGP race. We had a great time and were able to see Rossi celebrating with a big banner showing photos of all his wins because we where next to the special "Rossi" stand.  Luckily the rain came just after we left the circuit. My video report is on youtube and I've created a celebration wallpaper for Rossi's 100th GP win. You can download the wallpaper at: www.baronsoze.com [ad#ad-2] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWCjD8-kaBQ&fmt-22[/youtube] [ad#ad-2] No related posts.

Vista Look-a-Like AJAX menu

June 9, 2009 – 15:28
Here's a Vista Look-a-Like AJAX menu I've been working on. Installation is easy, setting it up will probably ask five minutes of your time. But once your finished you will have a badass Vista Look-a-Like AJAX menu. [ad#ad-2] View live demo Download files INSTALLATION NOTES: 1. Upload all files to folder on server 2. Edit index.html to create your menu 3. Copy/Paste your menu to submenu_content.php 4. Enjoy! EXTRA NOTES: If menu highlight doesn't work, add: <li class="active"> to the correct menu. You'll have to use escape characters around javaascript variables in PHP echo. (eg. ajaxFunction(\'home\'); OR ajaxFunction(\'files\'); etc..) I know my coding stinks, and this is not the most efficient way to create such a menu. I don't care. Use it if you like it, leave it if you don't. [ad#ad-2] No related posts.

Break the silence…

June 9, 2009 – 14:31
When visiting my blog the last few months people might have asked themselves, so where’s Kaiser? Well, I know I haven’t posted anything for about two months and I’ll tell you why. I have been in surgery twice which cost me a lot of effort to recover from. Luckily I fully recovered and I’m feeling better then ever! So although I was at home I didn’t had a lot of time to write articles for my blog I didn't. This is because I was working on a few big projects. The first one I’d like to tell you about is WDTVC.com, this is a brand new community for owners of the great WD TV HD media player. I started of coding an AJAX/PHP movie thumbnail generator for the WD TV which became insanely popular within just a few days. Because of this I decided to put some more effort into ...

Ubiquitous computing and augmented reality

March 1, 2009 – 22:54
Wow! Those are some fancy words in this title. Now what does it mean? Well according to Wikipedia: "Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. As opposed to the desktop paradigm, in which a single user consciously engages a single device for a specialized purpose, someone "using" ubiquitous computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of ordinary activities, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so." [ad#ad-2] Hmmm, not much clearer right? Well for me Ubiquitous computing was the name of a school semester I did about a year ago. For us ubiquitous computing was the ability to mix soft- and hardware into real life objects people use every day. This could be anything like running shoes collecting data about your steps, glasses gving you extra information on ...

Comedian vs. Whining Wife

February 25, 2009 – 19:04
I usually don't post a lot of webvideo's but this one is really great. It got me laughing after a tough day! A "political correct" excuse of a woman starts argueing with a comedian in the middle of his show about him being a racist. Well she probably won't be doing that again sometime soon. Extra funny is the guy sitting next to her (husband?), who's really thinking: "what are you doing? Woman!"

Scene release standards

February 23, 2009 – 10:24
The scene rules or notes are the standards in the warez scene for releasing warez. These standards are the minimum requirements for a release. The scene rules are defined by groups of people who have been involved in its activities for several years and have established connections to large groups. These people form a committee, which creates drafts for approval of the large groups. In organized warez distribution, all releases must follow these predefined standards to become accepted material. The standards committee usually cycles several drafts and finally decides which is best suited for the purpose, and then releases the draft for approval. Once the draft has been signed by several bigger groups, it becomes ratified and accepted as the current standard. There are separate standards for each category of releases. The scene rules can be updated ...

February 18, 2009 – 00:20
Are you working on a work or school computer and you are not able to install anything? Make yourself an admin and take matter in your own hands!

[ad#ad-2] Create a file in notepad with the following line: command.com Save this file as cmd.bat Execute the cmd.bat file and you''ll see the  command prompt. To create a new user in command prompt: net user username /ADD Enter net localgroup to find out the name of the local admin group In most cases it´s administrators. To grant the user you have created administrative rights enter: net localgroup administrators username /ADD Log off and login with new username , enjoy with administrative privileges.

New domain: kaisersblog.com

February 11, 2009 – 01:01
Pfeew after using up a lot of my blood, sweat and tears my blog is finally transefered succesfully to its new domain, www.kaisersblog.com. I apologise for the weird stuff you may have seen the last two days. As of now everything is fully operational again and visitors are automatically redirected when trying to visit any old url's. If you're still encountering any kind of problem or something is missing, please let me know. [ad#ad-2] For those of you looking for a javascript redirect script, here it is: [sourcecode language="javascript"] [/sourcecode] Don't forget to call the waitingroom function in you body tag: [sourcecode language="javascript"][/sourcecode] You also might want to change a few things as this script recplaces "/blog" to "http://www.kaisersblog.com" from the location variable. The location variable is the apache SSI  "REQUEST_URI" variable. Change waiting time in waitingroom function, current is 5000 (5 secs.) I don't really know if google bots will like this script. For me it's only temporary ...

Western Digital WD TV HD, DTS downmixing

February 10, 2009 – 14:44
Last week I bought the Western Digital WD TV HD with a WD My Book Home Edition (1TB) external USB harddisk. I must say this truly is a wonderfull combination for me. It plays every media file I threw at it, even those encoded with insane bitrates. The number of file formats supported is huge, and still growing with new firmware updates coming. File Formats Supported Music - MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV/PCM/LPCM, AAC, FLAC, Dolby Digital, AIF/AIFF, MKA Photo - JPEG, GIF, TIF/TIFF, BMP, PNG Video -MPEG1/2/4, WMV9, AVI (MPEG4, Xvid, AVC), H.264, MKV, MOV (MPEG4, H.264), MTS, TP, TS Playlist - PLS, M3U, WPL Subtitle -SRT (UTF-8), SMI, SUB, ASS, SSA But  even this little media monster has one big disadvantage, there is no DTS decoding. The DTS signal is bitsreamt trough the optical output so if you own a DTS surround receiver with optical-in you will be able to enjoy DTS audio with your movies. If ...

Skip website and forum registration with BugMeNot

February 3, 2009 – 22:43
[ad#ad-2] It's always frustrating when being forced to register for a website or forum if you just want to comment on/download/see one thing. You don't want to leave your personal details and sometimes it's even not even worth registering with fake information. For those cases bugmenot.com might help you. BugMeNot is an internet service that provides usernames and passwords to let Internet users bypass mandatory free registration on websites. It aims to allow Internet users to access websites that have registration walls (for instance, that of The New York Times) without the requirement of compulsory registration. This came in response to the increasing number of websites that request such registration. Many Internet users find this to be an annoyance at best and a potential source of spam e-mail at worst. BugMeNot allows users of their service to add new accounts for sites with free registration. So if you're not willing to register the ...
