In search for a good list with ISO-country names and relevant data, I ended at GeoNames. This site offers really super data, like even the RegExp to test a postcode value! Really great! And even more data of countries worldwide, like largest cities, highest mountains, capitals, postal codes, country statistics and much more.

And all for free. However, I can imagine what a job this must be to keep all that data up-to-date, so I donated for the data I downloaded (donate button is at the top of the donate & sponsoring page).

See also my earlier post about calculating postcode-to-postcode distances.
 

Als je in Velp bent en weer eens echt lekker wilt eten in een aangename ambiance, dan is eetcafé Majesteit een echte aanrader.

 

Makkelijk bereikbaar door achter de AH te parkeren en dan een klein stukje door te lopen naar de Wilhelminastraat 21 (bekijk in Google Maps)

I created my first series of iOS Home Screen backgrounds and you can see and download them from this page.

I found the bug that blocked YourHead's Collage 2 from working in Internet Explorer 9. You can read about it at, and download the corrected plug-in from, the YourHead Support Forum. I attached it there to my last response. If you can't download it from there, contact me and I'll mail you the 2MB zipped file.

Do not 'install' the unzipped file. Rather copy it to /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/

You can open your 'Library' folder, if you do not see it, like described here: https://www.macworld.com/article/1161156/view_library_folder_in_lion.html

 

I wrote a small script that cleans up Lasso 8's internal SQLite database from dynamically created tables in MySQL. It also deletes the dynamic tables from MySQL when older then 2 days, so you do not need a separate script for that.

In my case, the script has been written to clean my dynamically created temp tables, which names all begin with 'REP'. But you can copy the script and of course modify it to your needs.

Happy coding!

Gorinchem - Oude Watertoren / Old Water Tower

I sometimes like to design a poster - this time the Watertower image had a nice angle to it to play with. Convert it to a sort-of black&white (PostWorkshop) and than finding a nice frame (ImageFamer)

Cannon Fire in Gorinchem

Just right - the sun as a blast of the old cannon.

Still Life of an Evening@Home

iPhone-apps experiments (tilt-shift, borders, coloring filters, vignettes).

Een paar weken geleden vond ik in de supermarkt in Hummelo een setje lokaal gebrouwen bieren: Bronckhorster, gebrouwen door Brouwerij Rodenburg in Rha. Wel prijzig, dus een aanrader voor af en toe en speciale gelegenheden zoals Ome Joop's speciale gelegenheden: als het regent en als het niet regent!
