Good news, new url and other platform.

Actually the good news is that I started to blog again after an off period of around 3 years, but not on this platform, nor with this url. I wanted to take it all a step up so I decided to go ahead with a WordPress blog, you'll be able to find the blog on http://www.beinteractive.be.

Everything about Sex.

2008-09-22T11:14:00.000+01:00

Sensoa (the Flemish expert organization on sexual health and HIV) launched a new site called http://www.allesoverseks.be/ to respond to any question a young adult could have about sex or relations. I really like the design and functionality all though they should be more careful with the development cause there are some errors and dead links in there. There was one thing really messing up the site and the whole idea behind it “Bannering”. It’s really something you don’t expect on such a site, it should be really all about information and not selling of visa cards or bank accounts. From my opinion it’s really tricking those young adults, I could expect such a bannering campaigns on portals, social sites, game sites or anything else but not on a site that gives answers on sexuality and tries to warn them about the dangers of it. Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned but there are boundaries you should not cross.

Getty Center commercial & YouTube movie stops playing after 2 seconds …

2008-09-16T23:13:00.001+01:00

On the fwa theatre I found this great commercial for Getty Center labeled “Heads”.

Strangely enough this is just half the blog post cause on my newly installed Chrome browser it just didn’t want to play, after 2 seconds it just stopped running while it worked perfectly in IE. It seemed as if I found my first real Chrome bug until I began to search for a solution. It actually appeared to be a problem with the flash player and not the browser itself. The solution that I found was to install Flash Player 10 release candidate and uninstall the current version 9. Below you’ll find the steps that I needed to do to complete the job.

1. Uninstall version 9, you’ll find the uninstaller on this page you have to select the “Windows—Plugin-based browsers”

2. Close and restart your browser.

3. Install the flash player 10 from this page, you’ll have to install the “Plugin for Windows”

4. Go to the following page and it should say “You have version 10,0,12,10 installed”

If you’ve followed the 4 previous steps you should be able to enjoy all your favorite YouTube/Dailymotion/… movies again

Volvo gives the experience of your choice.

2008-09-16T21:39:00.001+01:00

Today I went to the Volvo site to have a look at their offer and what I found their was for me the ultimate “getting to know” experience. The headline says “Find out about our new conditions in the way you feel most comfortable” and indeed this sentence says it all.

You can have a look at their conditions trough an excel file, a word doc, a YouTube Channel, a Facebook page, … . Any way you want they actually got it. It’s all quite simple but again the experience is just great.

I made the switch.

2008-09-14T20:32:00.001+01:00

After being an unconditional fan from Internet Explorer all along last week I made the switch to Google Chrome. What Firefox never could; Chrome did in a weeks. Why I changed, well quite simple it runs much quicker than IE, when you click on a link it immediately pops up, you don’t have to wait a second. Yes it does have less features and functionalities but for me it does everything I expect from a browser. Let’s see what the next version of IE brings and maybe …

Quite busy at Google labs.

2008-09-04T23:28:00.001+01:00

After the whole Chrome launch from Google there was around the same period another launch which I was expecting for quite some time, namely the launch of Picasa 3 and the new Picasa Web Album.

First I installed the Picasa Web Album which had many new features but one seems special at first sight, the picture preview which runs smooth as hell and looks good.

Other features like the print screen, the movies and other stuff are more updates but still usefully.

Much more impressive are the name tags, on your web album you can easily tag all the persons that are on your pictures. You just activate the feature, it scans trough all your pictures and everybody is almost immediately recognized, one last check and tagging and it’s done. You can now browse trough your pictures with just a name and when you hover over a picture you can see the nick names on the picture. Again really impressive work from Google Labs, they keep on surprising me …

One thing I can say, if you got lots of pictures and you want an easy way of looking at them, categorizing them and even create a web album, I can only say one thing. Just install it and you’ll see you won’t be able to work without it anymore.
