I played in the dutch Movie Dropouts in 1999

10 years ago we spent a day in Amsterdam to act in the dutch movie Dropouts. We had to redo this scene several times because people were looking into the camera. We come out of the train and I walk in front of Zebi. You can see my friend Niels who walks just before me. I liked the filmmaking atmosphere and the team was really cool. The movie is also cool and well done. All music was made by one of the crew members. You can find out more about this movie at IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176673

Watch on Youtube

Watch on Viddler

I just made this function: FixStupidLongString(string stupid)

As software developer you will face software testers that do their upmost best trying to crash your program/site, wich is good ok but in this case they went too far. What did they do? Well they entered a text in a form without any white space, something like this;

ThisisthetesterAndIwanttoCrashYourSiteDidYouThinkThisWillLookGoodOnYourSiteHaHaIAmARadTesterAndSoOnYouWillGetTheIdeaRightYeahWiibartIsACoolDudeSoEveryoneShouldGiveHimMonyBecauseHeWantsToBeAMillionareBeforeDecemberButThatWillProbablyNotWorkWellAtLeastHeIsHappyYay
And that caused IE6 to make divs super wide. I could have fixed that with a overflow protection, but I decided to keep the text sort of intact by replacing some characters with the space character.

Here's the function that I wrote.  It's fixes the long string, but it does not fix the stupid tester.

        public string FixStupidLongString(string stupid)
        {
            int nospace = 0;
            string returnString = "";

            for (int i = 0; i < stupid.Length; i++)
            {
                if (stupid[i] != ' ' && nospace < 35)
                {
                    returnString += stupid[i];
                    nospace++;
                }
                else
                {
                    returnString += ' ';
                    nospace = 0;                    
                }
            }

            return returnString;
        }

These are the two best video's from my Youtube subscription updates

You know, you are working and get an email popup about your Youtube subscriptions, so I get distracted from what I was doing, or needed to be doing, so I start watching all those video's. Then an hour and half later, there were two video's that I really liked, so in order not to feel that I lost all that time I decided to blog about the video's that I liked and here they are. The first video is from AtheneWins, I really like his style. You might need to see his other video's as well because there's a lot more fun stuff going on and if you loo closer you will see something that I think I'm seeing. You get what I'm getting? The other video is fun because of the surprise effect, and it's really well done, pure entertainment, thank you.

I just comment on Google Issue 777 - Officially Support Naked Domains for GAE Apps - it's insane that Google is ignoring this

Comment 35 by bart.burkhardt, Today (moments ago)
I'm also in the process of launching a URL shortening service.

I really would like to use GAE and I'm really am shocked to see that GAE does not support naked domains!

How can a company like Google just ignore the fact that loads of startups want short URL's to be used in Twitter messages.
It's just totally insane!! A bunch of people must be sleeping, really.

Everyone knows that redirecting from your own provider is not an option, and again it's really bizar to see Google mentioning this as an option, shame on you Google.

The strange thing is that there are already some url shortening services that run on GAE,  like http://ur.ly   
Read about this great opensource project here: http://adamstiles.com/2008/07/urly-dang-short-urls-powered-by-google-app-engine/

Please also read this great article: No nudity please, we’re Google (or why you shouldn’t mix naked domains and www on Google App Engine)
http://aralbalkan.com/1425/comment-page-1#comment-258336

Then there's  http://urlborg.com  another short url service on GAE

All these services probably just added a couple of A-records that point to servers that service ghs.google.com 
I could do that do, but as this is not officially supported I find it a bit scary. 

Also because ghs.google.com are servers that are load balanced and so, so adding a couple of ip addresses is not what I had in mind to put my short url service in the App Engine cloud.


SO PLEASE GOOGLE, YOU'RE MY FRIEND FOR SO MANY YEARS, WHAT'S GOING ON ? ? ?

HELP  !!!!!

Throwing umbrella's in the air is super fun, watch my Snowbrella movie that I made last year for @djsteens 's umbrella contest

I made this video last year end November for a video contest on Viddler by @djsteen. I didn't win anything, but is was great fun to do. I made the music long time ago on my Roland D70. Let me know what you think of the video, leave a comment and rate! I filmed this with my Canon A60 and edited it with Windows Movie Maker
