Using Cumulus? Please check your tagcloud.xml!

Because WP-Cumulus is open source software, the source files are available online. I didn’t package them with the regular plugin download, but you can download the Flash files from wordpress.org and my blog. Included in those downloads is a file called “tagcloud.xml”, which is mainly used to test the Flash movie locally, within Flash’s IDE. Unfortunately, that file sometimes ends up online. And, in most cases, it shouldn’t.

Dear gadget manufacturers, please stop teasing

There’s a story running on Engadget right now about an FCC filing for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. It’s the last of at least 26 posts about this still unreleased product. The first one dates back to February. That’s four months of excellent “investigative journalism” om Engadget’s part, and four months of agony for gadget loving would-be buyers.

Idea: A mobile network performance statistics app?

People here in the Netherlands will often complain about poor 3G data speeds. Twitter is full of people complaining about T-Mobile. Some will suggest Vodafone for better reception, while others agree that KPN has the best network. I simply don’t know. And to my knowledge, no independent studies have been done recently. So maybe it’s time for a community app that measures network performance, and reports back to an independent database?

Pics from the WordPress Meetup Amersfoort 2011

Last night’s WordPress meetup in Amersfoort was, at least as far as I’m concerned, a resounding success. Around 70 people attended, and we had a lot of interesting speakers. Most of the presentations were captured on video, and will be placed online later. For now, I’ve put the snapshots I managed to take on Flickr for you. Enjoy!

I’ve also created a Flickr pool for Dutch meetup images. Please feel free to add you pics there. I’m still pretty new to Flickr, but I think I allowed everyone to contribute…

Galaxy Tab 10.1, I think I’m in love…

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been in the market for a tablet for a long time. I would have been an early iPad adopter if it hadn’t been for the whole iTunes thing. And since I got my first Android phone last year, I’ve been pretty sure I want my slate to run Google’s OS. The problem with Andriod tablets however is availability. The first serious contenders are only just starting to pop up in shops.

I played with an Acer Iconia and loved it. The Asus Transformer is cheaper and looks great. But there’s one that – in my opinion – really stands out. Samsung’s first tablet, the Galaxy Tab, was too expensive and too small for my taste, but its 10.1″ follow-up looks really promising. Not only does it match most of the iPad 2′s specs, it bests a couple of them too. Most notably, it’s thinner and lighter. It’s still no match for Apple’s super-slick design, but it’s very sexy in its own right.
