Follow a Purple Bike or a Donkey ?

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

You may have heard about Yahoo! craze about the purple stuff. If you have not, take a peek at pimped up purple bikes, purple outfits).

There are 20 bikes across the globe that take a picture every 60 seconds while in motion - then the photo is tagged with GPS info, uploaded to Flickr and plotted on a map. You can see the world through the cameras of of those bikes and their riders -let’s call them the YRiders - via the Maplication tool on purplepedals.com.

That’s cool. Very cool indeed.

But there is something way way cooler, imho.

How about following a Donkey around Amsterdam ? Yet better read the blog of its adventures. I have no idea what Asino blogs about, perhaps it’s in Donkeyish, or in Dutch, same difference to me. It’s very entertaining see a Donkey’s eye (or DRiders) view of Amsterdam.

This ?

Asino and Christian

or this ?

I love the bikes, but come on… You can’t beat the donkey :)

Happy Tree Friends, NOT !

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Obviously those people are not Happy Tree Friends.

Whoever cutting those trees down should stop immediately, so our environmentalist friends can stop making videos like that.  Please stop killing the trees, and help those people out of their misery. Forget about the environment, pollution, end of the world etc. Do it for the sake of silencing them.

Profanity in Open Source

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

I recently received an email from one of registered users of the ocszone.com

The email follows;

from a user….
At Joomla Extensions it is said that moseasymedia is free,but here at your download you demand credit card details and want to chargeThis is bull shitI’ll fucken tell everyone I can about your con

fucken piece of shit

This email is obviously from someone who does not know what GPL means. Indeed, let me rephrase; from someone who does not know how to read.

ocszone.com clearly states - in multiple places- that the software we develop and distribute is free of charge unless stated otherwise. Most of those notices are in different colors and bold, so that they will be eye-catchy. And we do NOT demand any private and financial information.
