      <title>Get a sneak-preview of my new website</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;My new website &lt;a href="http://alexve.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Alexve.com&lt;/a&gt; is shaping up nicely. The site is part of a bigger ‘personal branding’ strategy to support my work as an independent professional. I am looking forward to launch it very soon! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In true fashion of a innovation addict, it will be fully loaded with new social media features, twitter integration, a lifestream, a blog, etc. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image002" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="91" alt="clip_image002" hspace="12" src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image002_thumb.jpg" width="240" align="left" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For the design, I have been working with designer Stijn Kooij and the feedback we received so far tells us we have created a very clean look and feel. You will see some similarity with the &lt;a href="http://teamvnext.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Team vNext&lt;/a&gt; site which is great as I will be working under this label.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image004" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="175" alt="clip_image004" hspace="12" src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image004_thumb.jpg" width="136" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;The actual development started the second week of March and Baris Efe is taking care of that. I am responsible for managing the project, writing content, technical requirements, testing and making sure we have a top quality first release. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image006.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image006" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="38" alt="clip_image006" hspace="12" src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image006_thumb.jpg" width="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=clip_image006.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;In case you are interested to get a better idea of where the site is headed, check out my custom &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/alexve" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter background&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Want to know when we launch? Then subscribe to this &lt;a title="Alexve.com Blog Feed" href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/alexve" target="_blank"&gt;blog feed&lt;/a&gt; or follow me on &lt;a title="Follow @alexve on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/alexve" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, the site should go live in the beginning of April!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Crowdsourcing with Obama</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Since CNN published their Photosynth website of &amp;lsquo;&lt;a href="http://cnn.com/themoment" target="_blank" title="The Moment"&gt;The Moment&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo; when Obama takes the presidential oath, the synth techology has captured the hearts of many. It is overwhelming and inspiring to see the enormous amount of people that came together on this historic day. (Check the 2nd synth and you will know what I mean). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cool thing about it, is that the synths have been created by using more than 1000 different pictures from people who attended the event. People can still send their pictures to &lt;a href="mailto:themoment@cnn.com"&gt;themoment@cnn.com&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Interested in seeing the result? &lt;br /&gt;
Goto &lt;a href="http://cnn.com/themoment" target="_blank" title="The Moment"&gt;http://cnn.com/themoment&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Howto recover from a Windows Home Server crash</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
My Windows Home Server crashed last week, big-time. It was running smoothly until it started to randomly freeze, blue screen and give me NTFS errors...At some point, it would not even start at all. I was not amused&amp;hellip;this was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; why I got myself a WHS. Don&amp;rsquo;t get me wrong: WHS is a great product and the root cause turned out to be a failing memory module. It also would have taken me far less time to recover if I had enabled a nice feature that came with WHS Power Pack 1... 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No reinstall server option?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Since the server would not start anymore, I decided to do a reinstall. In the meantime, I started to get worried a little bit whether my data was still intact, especially since the event log had been mentioning data corruption events. After doing some research on the web, I realized that using the &amp;lsquo;Reinstall Server&amp;rsquo; option of the Windows Home Server Setup was the best way forward. This would allow me to do a reinstall of the machine, while WHS setup used the configuration from the previous install and (more important) recover the data from the three disks in the storage pool. Unfortunately, things didn&amp;rsquo;t go that smooth&amp;hellip;The server crashed again before the setup could finish. The side effect of this was that the &amp;lsquo;reinstall server&amp;rsquo; option was gone for the following installations&amp;hellip; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Recovering data, the long way &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;At this point, I realized that I had to manually recovery data from the storage pool and had to figure out what was really wrong with my server. For the recovery part, I bought an external HD cradle (SATA) so I could copy data of each of the disks to my laptop. The actual data is stored in a hidden folder called &amp;lsquo;DE&amp;rsquo; on each drive (don&amp;rsquo;t forget to enable &amp;lsquo;view hidden files and folders&amp;rsquo; in your windows explorer). When viewing the drives, you will see similar folder structures in the DE folder on each of them. This is due to the nature of WHS folder duplication system that spreads data across all storage pool drives. I recommend you copy every folder into a new (main) location to be sure you have all your data. The good news of recovering 1,2 TB over USB 2.0, was that I now had plenty of time to start diagnosing what was really wrong with my server.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Diagnosing hardware failure &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;I suspected the problem to be hardware related as I have not seen random reboots and blue screens related to software in a very long time. After some digging on the Net, I came across a nice little tool called &amp;lsquo;The Ultimate Boot CD&amp;rsquo; (UBCD). It is a bootable utility CD that includes several tools for diagnosing and testing your mainboard, harddisks, memory, etc. It is available as an ISO download for free at &lt;a href="http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/"&gt;http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
After using the tool &lt;a href="http://www.memtest.org/" target="_blank"&gt;MemTest86&lt;/a&gt; from UBCD to test the memory on the machine, it became clear that the strange behavior of my server was caused by fault memory (the tool was logging a lot of errors and tests where showing up in red). By eliminating the DIMMs on by one and running the test again, I was fortunate to find the DIMM that was actually broken. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Biggest lesson learned &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;WHS takes care of all the machines in your network by backing them up every night nicely, but who takes care of the data on your server? Well, one of the featured I wish I had known of before this crash and the biggest lesson learned, is a feature that was introduced in &lt;a href="http://blogs.technet.com/homeserver/archive/2008/07/21/power-pack-1-come-and-get-it.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;WHS Power Pack 1&lt;/a&gt;: the ability to backup your shared folders onto an external drive automatically. Please note that right now, WHS does not support automated backups of the &amp;lsquo;backup database&amp;rsquo; (where the computer backups are stored). However, you can still do this manually. For more information, please refer to the &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=196fe38c-df20-4e19-92ca-6bda7bec3ecb&amp;amp;DisplayLang=en" target="_blank"&gt;Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Last thoughts, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;Although my server now &amp;lsquo;only&amp;rsquo; has 3GB of RAM, it is running just fine again. And the good news is, that I managed to keep my data. The only thing that I really lost, are the backups of my laptops that were made using the previous WHS install. Fortunately, both my laptops will be backed up after installing the WHS Connector software. Right now, the server is also configured to make regular copies of the most important files (of my shared folders) onto an external drive. So I won&amp;rsquo;t have to go through the pain of manually copying the data of all storage pool disks in case of another hardware failure. I am thinking of cloning the system partition so I do not have to go through the setup of WHS and configuring it but I am not sure if this is a tested solution. I would love to hear people&amp;rsquo;s experiences with that, feel free to leave a comment or use the contact page.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Have fun with your WHS!
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>New layout and site in Q1, meanwhile switching language</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
In the upcoming months, I am planning to merge this site into a more personal branded site that should provide some more insight on my professional (work) life as well. I have been gathering requirements for this new release in my spare time since November so it&amp;#39;s about time to really start the project. Part of this migration includes a blog platform change to WordPress as I have come to realize that the community support for that platform is absolutely fantastic (e.g. plug-ins, updates, books, etc). I have also registered some shorter domain names (alexve.*) that are easier to remember by a global audience. Currently, I am creating some mood boards a designer can use for creating a new theme/layout, so still plenty work to do... 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Language switch &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;As part of this upcoming update, I also decided that I will change my main writing language to English. Why? It is simple: recently, someone from Tokyo started following me on Twitter. I realized that he would probably not understand a word I was saying when I tweeted in Dutch and that the same applies to my blog. Essentially, the web has enabled us to communicate with the whole world so why just limit my blog postings to those who are able to read Dutch? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I will keep you posted on the development of the new release/site. My goal is to finish it before the end of this quarter. In the meantime I will keep blogging on this site however, I&amp;rsquo;m switching the main writing language to English to brush up my writing skills! 
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Lifestreaming and the Internet Culture Video Top 3</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Was je in 2004 űbercool met een eigen een blog, ben je anno 2008 helemaal niks zonder een lifestream ;). Een lifestream is letterlijk een log van je online en offline activiteiten, gedachten, etc&amp;nbsp;om te laten zien waar je mee bezig bent, wat je denkt, boeit, leest, etc.&amp;nbsp; Het in korte tijd populair geworden &lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/admin/Pages/www.twitter.com" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; is een goed voorbeeld van een lifestream enabler. Andere voorbeelden zijn je friendsfeed, je ustream, je flickr photostream, je shared delicious favorites, etc. Waar dit naar toe leidt vraag ik me regelmatig af... nog even en we &amp;#39;broadcasten&amp;#39; ons leven 24 uur/dag het internet op...er zullen vast lifeads ontstaan, zgn. advertenties die je letterlijk op het lijf geschreven zijn. Ondertussen ben ik bezig met het voorbereiden van een upgrade van deze site, want als tech geek doe ik gezellig mee aan het fenomeen lifestreaming...Zo kan je me ook volgen op &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/alexvermeule" target="_blank"&gt;twitter.com/alexvermeule&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Om de lifestream manie toch een beetje het hoofd te bieden en te relativeren, probeer ik regelmatig naar onderstaande videos te kijken ;). Ze komen uit de top 5 van &lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/admin/Pages/ambermac.com" target="_blank"&gt;Amber Mac&lt;/a&gt;. Happy streaming, LOL! 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Podcast tip: Geekbrief.tv</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=gbtvlogo.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="51" /&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In korte tijd ben ik een grote fan geworden van de &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast" target="_blank"&gt;podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;van &lt;a href="http://www.geekbrief.tv/" target="_blank"&gt;Geekbrief.tv&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Een Geekbrief duurt tussen de 3 en 8 minuten en is altijd jampacked met het laatste nieuws over gadgets, websites en andere geekstuff. De manier waarop de presentatrice, Cali Lewis, dit alles presenteert is snel, enthousiast en to the point zodat je snel je shot &amp;lsquo;tech&amp;rsquo; weer binnen hebt (niet te vergelijken met de &amp;lsquo;time consuming chitchat&amp;rsquo; op de shows van bijvoorbeeld tekzilla.com). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Curry met &lt;a href="http://www.mevio.com/" target="_blank"&gt;zijn Mevio&lt;/a&gt; is overigens de executive producer van Geekbrief.tv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Heb je een Ipod of Zune?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Check dan deze podcast via &lt;a href="http://www.geekbrief.tv/feeds"&gt;http://www.geekbrief.tv/feeds&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Uiteraard zijn de shows ook via de &lt;a href="http://www.geekbrief.tv/" target="_blank"&gt;Geekbrief.tv&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;website te bekijken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have fun! 
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>HomeServer: Automatische backups, ook uit standby</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/file.axd?file=backup.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; border: 0px" src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=WindowsLiveWriter/HomeServerAutomatischebackupsookuitstand_B85C/backup_blogsize_1.jpg" border="0" alt="backup in standby" width="77" height="87" align="left" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dit weekend had ik mooi &amp;#39;jubel momentje&amp;#39;. Mijn HomeServer had &amp;lsquo;s nachts een backup gemaakt van mijn laptop, terwijl deze in standby stond! Oftewel, de laptop was via &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN" target="_blank"&gt;wake on lan&lt;/a&gt; door mijn HomeServer aangezet, waarna er een backup gemaakt kon worden. Hierna is mijn latop weer keurig in standby gezet en dat allemaal terwijl ik lekker lag te slapen. Een mooie &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifehacking" target="_blank" title="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifehacking"&gt;lifehack&lt;/a&gt; ;-).

      <title>Windows HomeServer Installatie</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Meer dan een jaar geleden is Windows HomeServer (WHS) ge&amp;iuml;ntroduceerd, simpel gezegd &amp;lsquo;de server versie van Windows voor thuisgebruik&amp;rsquo;. Meestal ben ik wel een &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_adopter" target="_blank" title="Early adopter op Wikipedia"&gt;early adopter&lt;/a&gt; van dit soort techniek maar ditmaal&amp;nbsp;heeft het even geduurd.&amp;nbsp;Ik had al tijden een extra computer om gegevens centraal op te slaan dus was het de afgelopen week de hoogste tijd om die machine te voorzien van HomeServer software... 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=WindowsLiveWriter/WindowsHomeServerInstallatie_EE55/mywhs_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px" src="http://alexvermeule.com/image.axd?picture=WindowsLiveWriter/WindowsHomeServerInstallatie_EE55/mywhs_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="mywhs" width="333" height="317" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Met&amp;nbsp;vijf HDs ontbreekt het gelukkig nog niet aan opslag capaciteit ;-). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt; Een aantal lezers was benieuwd of er ook kant-en-klare HomeServers in Nederland te koop zijn.&amp;nbsp;Jazeker, hieronder een aantal mogelijkheden: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fujitsu-siemens.nl/home/products/home_server/scaleo_homeserver.html" target="_blank"&gt;Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.qmotion.nl/mce/whs.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Quote Q-Motion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quibus.nl/mediacenter/homeserver.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Quibus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://alexvermeule.com/admin/Pages/Shuttle XPC K45 Home Server" target="_blank"&gt;Shuttle XPC K45 Home Server&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/mediasmart-server/"&gt;HP MediaSmart Server&lt;/a&gt; (nu nog alleen verkrijgbaar in US)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Mocht je overigens zelf aan de slag gaan met het installeren en configureren van je eigen HomeServer, dan wordt geadviseerd om g&amp;eacute;&amp;eacute;n gebruik te maken van hardware RAID.&amp;nbsp;Zie dit artikel: &lt;a href="http://blogs.technet.com/homeserver/archive/2008/08/11/why-raid-is-not-a-consumer-technology.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Why RAID is not a consumer technology&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelf Windows HomeServer proberen? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/eval.mspx" target="_blank"&gt;Vraag dan gratis de 120 dagen evaluatie versie aan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(selecteer international orders). 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

      <title>Live Calendar: deel je agenda online, voorkom dubbele afspraken</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Heb je dat ook wel eens? Je maakt een afspraak met bijvoorbeeld een goede vriend om volgende week vrijdag uit eten te gaan. Je zet de afspraak in je agenda en vertelt &amp;#39;s avonds enthousiast aan je vriendin dat je volgende week vrijdag een afspraak hebt gemaakt. Je vriendin kijk je aan en zegt &amp;#39;maar dan hadden we toch al een afspraak met mijn ouders staan?&amp;#39;. Oeps...helemaal vergeten om in de &amp;#39;gemeenschappelijke agenda&amp;#39; te kijken&amp;hellip; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Om hier toch iets aan te doen, hebben mijn vriendin en ik sinds kort onze agenda&amp;#39;s online via Windows Live Calendar met elkaar gedeeld. De prettige bijkomstigheid is dat je precies kunt zien welke afspraken de ander al in zijn of haar agenda heeft staan. Je kunt beide agenda&amp;#39;s ook &amp;#39;over elkaar heen leggen&amp;#39; om te zien wanneer je samen opstap kunt :-). Het enige dat je allebei nodig hebt is een Windows Live ID. Daarna is het een kwestie van online je agenda bijhouden :-) Dat kan gewoon via de hotmail site en gelukkig ook via Outlook. Daarvoor dien&amp;nbsp;je wel &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9A2279B1-DF0A-46E1-AA93-7D4870871ECF&amp;amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank"&gt;de Outlook Connector voor Windows Live&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;te installeren. Het leuke is dat daarna de gedeelde agenda&amp;#39;s ook in Outlook zichtbaar worden. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Hoe deel je dan je agenda? Heel eenvoudig. Je gaat naar &lt;a href="http://calendar.live.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://calendar.live.com/&lt;/a&gt; , logt in met je Live ID waarna je kunt aangeven hoe en met wie je jouw agenda wilt delen (zie hieronder). Nog geen Windows Live ID? Je kunt via dezelfde link een ID aanvragen.&lt;br /&gt;
Have fun! 
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Zune 3.0 in Nederland</title>
      <description>&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/zune-marketplace-1.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" width="178" height="134" align="left" /&gt;Sinds enkele weken heeft Microsoft &lt;a href="http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/zunesoftware/download.htm" target="_blank" title="Nieuwe software voor de Zune"&gt;nieuwe software voor de Zune&lt;/a&gt; gelanceerd met een aantal nieuwe &lt;a href="http://www.zune.net/en-us/whatsnew.htm" target="_blank" title="Features Zune Software 3.0"&gt;coole features&lt;/a&gt;. Het enige nadeel is dat de Zune officieel alleen in de US en Canada verkrijgbaar is. Gelukkig zijn er wel manieren om buiten de US en Canada volledig van je Zune te kunnen genieten... &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Voor wie de Zune niet kent: het is het antwoord van Microsoft op de Ipod en inmiddels is de derde generatie Zunes een feit. Het is meer dan een draagbare mediaplayer; het apparaat zorgt in combinatie met de Zune software voor een nieuwe ervaring wat betreft het genieten van je muziek en video&amp;rsquo;s. Kocht je vroeger een CD (dat is zooo 2002 hahaha) en zette je deze daarna op je computer en daarna weer op je speler, is het anno 2008 normaal dat je via WIFI op je Zune de Zune Marketplace (soort online muziek winkel) benadert en zo de meest populaire albums kunt &amp;lsquo;previewen&amp;rsquo;. Daarna kan je deze downloaden wanneer je wilt. Om op een leuke manier kennis te maken met Zune, ga je naar de &lt;a href="http://www.zunejourney.net/" target="_blank" title="Zune Journey"&gt;Zune Journey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(klik meet Zune).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hoe kom je aan muziek?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;Via de Zune Marketplace (ZMP) kunnen Zune bezitters voor het bedrag van 1 CD per maand ($14,95) de allernieuwste muziek downloaden. Je krijgt toegang tot ZPM via een zgn. Zunepass. Dit is een betaalmiddel wat via een prepaid constructie werkt of direct aan je creditcard wordt gekoppeld. Of dit ook in Nederland werkt, heb ik niet getest. Het mooist zou zijn als ZMP hun content ook via een streaming optie toegankelijk zou maken. Ik zelf maak nu gebruik van &lt;a href="http://www.rhapsody.com/" target="_blank" title="Rhapsody"&gt;Rhapsody&lt;/a&gt; (ism mijn &lt;a href="http://www.sonos.com" target="_blank" title="Sonos Home"&gt;Sonos&lt;/a&gt;). Het verschil tussen ZMP en Rhapsody is dat Rhapsody de content streamt en dat ZMP de content ter download aanbiedt. Met de Zune software op je PC (vergelijkbaar met Itunes) kan je de Zune in ieder geval gemakkelijker voorzien van de nieuwste muziek, video&amp;rsquo;s, podcasts, foto&amp;rsquo;s, etc. (inclusief die CDs die je geript hebt ;)). Zelf vind ik de gratis abonnenmenten op de podcasts erg handig. Zodra je een podcast bekeken hebt, wordt deze bij de volgende sync met je PC van je Zune verwijderd. Uiteraard kan je ook via WIFI je Zune en PC met elkaar laten synchroniseren. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Goedkoop alternatief voor Ipod&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;Een 30 GB Ipod kost in Nederland 269&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;EUR. Wanneer de Zune officieel in Nederland verkrijgbaar is nog niet duidelijk. Na wat rond zoeken op marktplaats zag ik wel dat de eerste generatie Zune&amp;rsquo;s (30 GB) voor 92,50 EUR nieuw verkocht worden! Ik heb in 2006 een eerste generatie Zune gekocht en ik kan alleen maar zeggen dat ik super blij ben met de nieuwe software. Vergeet daarbij niet dat een eerste generatie Zune met de nieuwe software alle features van de nieuwe 3.0 versie heeft ! Mocht je een mooie draagbare mediaplayer zoeken, dan is de Zune zeker het overwegen waard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Alleen in US/Canada?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;Zoals ik al vertelde is de Zune jammer genoeg officieel niet buiten de US en Canada te koop. Je kunt de software wel installeren maar wanneer je buiten de US of Canada een account wilt aanmaken op &lt;a href="http://www.zune.net"&gt;www.zune.net&lt;/a&gt;, krijg je de melding &amp;lsquo;the Zune service not yet available in your region&amp;rsquo;. Op dit moment is het echter wel zo dat wanneer je eenmaal een account hebt, je wel buiten de US en Canada gebruik kunt maken van de Zune services en software. Er zijn overigens geruchten dat in de lente van 2009 de Zune officieel ook in Nederland verkrijgbaar zal zijn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hoe kom je aan een account op zune.net?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;De vraag die veel Zune bezitter buiten de US en Canada hebben is &amp;lsquo;hoe kom ik aan een account op zune.net&amp;rsquo;. Iedereen wil namelijk gebruik kunnen maken van hun Zune en de bijbehorende software en services. Er zijn diverse manier om dit voor elkaar te krijgen. Zo zijn er bijvoorbeeld Zune message boards in Amerika die aanbieden om &lt;a href="http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/general-zune-software/12991-people-who-want-accounts-arent-us.html" target="_blank" title="Account laten aanmaken via Zune message boards"&gt;een account voor je te maken&lt;/a&gt;. Als je voor een internationale werkgever werkt, is het wellicht ook een optie om een VPN op te zetten naar een vestiging in Amerika en daarna de account creation wizard te doorlopen op zune.net. Het alternatief (wat voor mij in ieder geval heeft gewerkt) is door gebruik te maken van &amp;lsquo;Tor&amp;rsquo;. Tor wordt vooral gebruikt om anoniem te kunnen surfen. Het is echter ook mogelijk de software zo te configureren dat je online identiteit verandert in iemand in Amerika huisvest (je zichtbare IP adres wordt een adres uit Amerika). Lees &lt;a href="http://openpandora.blogspot.com/2007/06/complete-guide-for-using-openpandora.html" target="_blank" title="Configure Tor ExitNodes"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; voor meer informatie over het downloaden configureren van Tor. Nadat alles geconfigureerd is, kan je zonder problemen een account op zune.net aanmaken. Overigens kan je de Regional Settings op je PC gewoon op &amp;#39;Dutch&amp;nbsp;(Nederlands)&amp;#39; laten staan, alleen je location moet je op &amp;#39;United States&amp;#39; zetten als&amp;nbsp;je de Marketplace in de Zune software wilt benaderen. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veel plezier!
