I collected 150.000 stumblers

Posted on by

During the time I had the stumbler friends explorer online (I now sold the domain so its no longer active), I had created a cache because I didn’t want to burdon the stumbleupon site with my tool. The cache was eternal, meaning: once you were in it there would never be request again for your page to stumbleupon.

I noticed that entering the cache via ftp or even via telnet became impossible. Only now I did finally had the time to look in the cache and I discovered 150.000 avatars (in jpg format) along with the usernames.

You can download the list of usernames here (1.2mb)

Some things I noticed when going through the list:

Wiseline: make a graphic out of your life

Posted on by
Reply

Here is my quick and dirty version on wiseline where you can create a graph from your life. On the graph you can indicate what category the period or event fell in, give it a background and even add photo’s or other media to it.

I actually  have my life in a spreadsheet and I think I posted it before on this blog, however, it is a pretty neat idea to make this into a webservice. Since this is one of the default things I keep track off, this site goes directly in my favorites and I think it will become big.

Heel handig voor de aanschaf van een tweedehands fiets of ter controle van de aangifte van uw gestolen fiets. Uw fiets is dan landelijk herkenbaar als gestolen.

Tha Tan – "To be a Hundred" – CD Review

Posted on by

image

Tha Tan -  the Thai-Brazilian symphonic rock band made a great start with this album, not only because of it being the pet project of giants like Peter Gabriel, Steve Lukather and Brian Eno but also because this first album delivered a monstrous summerhit "falsified dream", which stayed on #1 for several months in several South American countries. The first part of the CD contains a powerful rock experience which clearly shows  the musical science education of all the band members (except for the drummer Bob)  while the second part clearly shows the strong influence of the drummer "Bob" (2m50 and heavy weight boxing champion) in the band since it contains 4 songs of 10 minutes only consisting of drum solos. This second part of the CD could drive you crazy, but apparently the live audience absolutely goes wild when Bob takes the stage.  In essence it will enter rock history as one of the most influential albums of our age but also one of the weirdest. (Tha Tan – To be a hundred was release by EMI on 28-01-2008). P.S: there are rumors on the Internet that the band is in the studio preparing an acoustic version of the song "You are Everybody"!

Do you also want to write a CD Review like this? Do the Following:

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The first article title on this page will be the name of your band (mine here)
  2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album (mine here)
  3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover (mine here)
  4. http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml
    Click on the users info link and look for the italic subtitle below the bold blog name. That will be your first hit single (mine here)
  5. Use a graphics program to put them all together like I did above and share it here..

Invites for NotchUp Beta!

Posted on by
Reply

imageI got an invite for NotchUp, which is a pretty novel way of recruiting. It’s for people who are perfectly happy at their current job but… if a company pays you $500 just to speak with you and have to possibility to make you an offer (interview) you would be interested.

How does it work?

a) someone has to invite you (contact me if you want an invite), then you sign up and import your linkedin profile (or
manually enter it) (hidden profile, high privacy settings and your contact details will be anonymous)

b) you just forget about it

c) the top companies of this earth will bid on your profile to speak to you according to the price you set (you can calculate an advised price on the front page, I set it to $350 for an interview). Whenever you see something interesting you do the interview and earn $$$.

I think this is a good initiative in the current *there are no resources on the market* situation. For us, simple resources, why wouldn’t you want to earn a new WII by just going to an interview? If you have the right profile and there is demand for your skills you could earn a lot of money by just holding interviews. If you are like me, you get these 2 or more phone calls a week from headhunters anyhow, so why not make it fun / a source of income instead of irritating, just forward them to notchup and let them pay you to speak to you. Perfect solution.

Send a group e-mail with Squidnote

It’s like the card that goes round the office and everyone can sign the card but this time virtual.

Good tool!

Ontvang SMS op je kenteken

Nou… wat kun je nog meer doen in de file buiten muziek luisteren, gamen, sigaretjes roken, je haren doen, onbijten, lunchen of een goed boek lezen?

Op smskenteken.nl kun je je kenteken registeren en op die manier SMSjes ontvangen via je kenteken. Dat betekent dat je dan in de file vrij handig kunt communiceren met je medeweggebruikers.

Omdat het me op zich vrij grappig leek maar de kans buitengewoon klein is dat iemand me daadwerkelijk SMS-st heb ik me ook maar geregistreerd. Je kunt me bereiken op “GO AUTO 05-TR-KN” (naar 3010) maar even opletten want het grapje kost 90 cent per bericht.

Political Compass: I am Gandhi!

A while ago I did the Political Compass test but now I was sent an invite for the plugin for facebook so I did it again. I noticed that I shifted somewhat to the left and that I have about the same ideas on the world as … Gandhi :)

There has been a lot of discussion the past year on this test, some say it is totally rubish and not usefull while other find some usefulness and truth in there. Independent of the scientific background it’s of course a great social widget and you can find a lot of social web thingies about it on the web.

One of things I find interesting on these kind of tests (in which I include the Jung’s identities) is that they provide some easy-not-so-scientific ways for people for expressing their identities on the Internet (e.g. adding ENFJ, Economic Left/Right: -0.50, feeling groovy, to their social networking profiles).

Idea: view LIVE your 7 step relation to anyone

Posted on by
11

:idea: Since everyone you see everywhere is at most 7 steps related wouldn’t it be cool if there would be a sort of screen above everyone’s head telling you how far they are related from you?

Just suppose you are at the beach and see little signs above people’s head:

  • "friend of father’s colleague"
  • "also works at IBM at department X"
  • "boyfriend of that girl you went to school with"
  • "brother of the hotel owner with whom you had a chat"

the application will run on your Phone Of course, since a display above one’s head would not be handy (and because there would be 1000 different messages when there are 1000 people near), this could all take place on an application which runs on your PocketPC/PDA/Phone. The sim card holds your unique id.

it is already technically possible Is this technically feasible? I think it’s already feasible and the emerging buddy systems on e.g. TomTom and some other social GPS based system show us the first generation of these tools. The main problem will probably not be coupling it to the large amount of social networks and social genealogy systems but getting the information on people who are not in the social network yet (how sad), however buddies in the network could add this info. It will probably mean getting enough people to use it so that the rest will feel obligated to use it also (like e-mail).

I think… this would be extremely cool and therefore… Google/Microsoft/IBM… when will there be release beta 1?

It might bring more peace to humanity: people feel much closer to each other when they know that they somehow have a linkage between them, in other words: people wont beat people up if they know that they are just a few steps related. I also envision spontaneous conversations between people on street, work, vacation, etc… because they realize they "know each other".

one step  further since this extension to the existing gps buddy system is, I think, feasible, one further gadget would be a set of glasses which have this mobile application build in. Meaning: you would just look around you and see above people’s head their profile and the social linkage to yourself. It would be the coupling between the virtual social networks as they now exist and "real life".

You would see above all people’s heads:

  • their relationship with you
  • their latest blogpostings
  • their hobby’s
  • where they work
  • their cv
  • their quote
  • pictures from flickr
  • ….

This would be AWESOME!

Create your color scheme online with Adobe’s Kuler

Posted on by

image

On Adobe’s color scheme project "Kuler" you can create and share color schemes for use in e.g. your weblog or website design.

It allows you to manipulate colors to find a good color scheme and other users can comment on the color scheme choosen.

Although it must be said that some tongues state that Adobe just copied/ripped the social color site: http://www.colourlovers.com/ (created two years before Kuler).

I found it however very useful and the more tools, the better, a pretty quick creater can also be found on http://www.colorblender.com/ (which allows you to export the scheme to photoshop and illustrator).

But ofcourse there are other options, e.g. here is a list of other color scheme sites: http://www.avivadirectory.com/color/, I have blogged some other collections of color scheme sites in the past on which you can search.

:idea: personally I was thinking if it would be possible to extend this idea even more. Now we have the tools and some basic community and sharing of schemes, how could we extend the idea of a community around colors even further? I think there are some possibilities to do so.

I have the biggest Harem!

Posted on by
Reply

image "I have the biggest Harem" one can read on the new dutch social network site by Mediamarkt and Panasonic, the electronics warehouse.

The site is a social submit-your-biggest… community existing out of all kinds of photo’s, movies (NSF). the submission with the highest votes will get a massive 50" pasma tv + a home cinema set.

One may think of this all kinds of things but the concept really is good and very smartly touches the right pinpoints on activating a community concept.

The average Internet user (somehow) likes to watch and send funny and NSF photos around and what is more rewarding than submitting these "home-inventions" to an even bigger audience? (And receiving thumbs up comments.) Currently the submission with the highest votes is this one… (and if you clicked it, it probably proves the point ;) ).
