Symcaimport Available for Download

The last couple of days, I've had several requests for the source code of the Symcaimport pages. Therefor, I decided to 'zip' the files, and serve them to the world.

The pages are written in Macromedia Adobe Coldfusion, but for some one with PHP or ASP knowledge, it should be fairly easy to understand.

B.t.w. It would be nice if you create a link back to my website if you use the pages in some form. And remember that you still need to modify the MIME settings for your webserver for this to work. An alternative is to send the specific MIME setting with the download. Coldfusion does support this, but when I created the pages, I couldn't be bothered. Perhaps someday....

iPhone Coming to Europe?

Apple had scheduled a special event in London this Tuesday (September 18th). Rumors are that the European iPhone is being announced. As you might have read, I started saving money for 'my' iPhone when it's arriving here in Holland. But I'm not so sure any more. First, my cellphone provider (KPN) isn't mentioned (yet) among those who MIGHT sell it. Second, the phone must be simlock free (see the first reason), because I already have a SIM, with all the goodies enabled (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, etc.), and it's being 'paid' for by my employer. Third, I kinda like my Nokia E61i. It's got a keyboard. I can surf the web, and access my (private) e-mail. And ever since I got the Nokia, I haven't watched a single movie on it, or listened to a mp3 (on the phone). Guess I'll be saving my money for a iPod touch. Just in case my iPod photo (20GB) goes up in smoke.

Choices, and Even More Choices

Yesterday, Apple Launch a complete new line of music players. Every player is renewed. The biggest changes are:

• a new iPod nano (fatty) met video support (4/8GB)
• 160GB iPod Classic
• iPod Touch. Basically, an iPhone without the phone part (or camera) (8/16GB)

As I might have mentioned my 'old' iPod Photo 20GB is acting up, so I was kinda going to buy me a new one, but which one do I want? The iPhone touch is just gorgeous, but the iPod Classic holds ton's of music and video's...... *sigh*. Guess I have to let fate decide....

Dying PC

Now it's time for apple to start shipping 'Leopard' as soon as possible. I don't want to buy a iMac now, and buy Leopard next month (even if it is with a discount). Today my Windows PC started to show major hick-ups. The drives are making 'clacking' noises together with high pitched sounds :cry: . Also the system freezes up every ten minutes or so. So, you can imagine that I'm starting to backup my stuff with the hope that it makes it to the external drive. Every time the system crashes (during the copying) I see my digital life flash in before me.... Hope I can make it before the flames come out..... UPDATE: OK, I finally got my data of the PC, so that's one worry less. In the mean time, I've ordered a new hard drive. If that doesn't solve the problem, I guess I have to upgrade prematurely to an iMac..... The current components are all quite old, so I have to replace everything if it's not just the drive. I might sell the GPU (NVIDIA(Asus) 7900GTX/512MB/PCI-e). So if you're interessted
