Just recieved a very nice picture from my bro-inlaw. He has been to the Chinese NewYear festival in Amsterdam today. A little bummer, he hoped to shoot more and colourfull pics of dragons and alike but the party was held in a tent. Bummer…. No mourning he thought, let’s shoot some in the Amsterdam-canals, here it is…

Attention all Spammers

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

Very very sad to see that some poor souls who try to earn a few bucks on the net are trying to make my site a place were they can dump there stuff on. Almost every day now I am plagued by these f..ls, for they bomb the comments section of this blog with their spam.

Please I urge these people to stop until I coded my registration function for this blog to prevent such ludicrous actions.

Thank you!

Update:

Well that is all over now I have a very tight security build around this section, anti-spam control optimaforma. Watch out ;) .

Some words

It has been a while. Okay…guilty. I have been busy updating the site. Quite a job. But hey it was/is so much fun. Think that about 90% is XHTML transitional valid, except for the main page. I thought it would be funny to make that one XHTML 1.0 strict. Just click @ the bottom links to see for yourself. Don’t know if I am going to make everything strict. Quite a job and some of the vb-coding might not work proper after because of the deprecated html attribute ‘name’. That’s a big nono in ’strict-land’. Unfortunately vb-script needs ‘name’ attributes to refer to. Ah well maybe some other time. I learned a great deal about the W3C guidelines and to it’s adherence to XML standards. I am still learning. Also CSS plays a very big role in this matter. And I still have learn very much from all the CSS gurus around like Veerle and CSS Zen Garden to name just a few that pop into mind. Have a look and you’ll see why. Also the ommittance of tables to make pages CSS true and using the CSS semantics was quite a job especially with form layouts. But all in all it worked out quite nicely. I hope everyone feels the same. Well for now this is it… until the next blog.
