Media budget: update

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

When the content updates on the newest downloadable mediastuffs get delivered straight to your inbox things start to look real bleak for your regular TV networks.

Very ambitous but also very, very cool

Open source news gathering based on the wikipedia model at Wikinews (temporary address). Whilst this seems like a risky undertaking to me, since many more people have interests in having current events portraited in a certain way, if it works it’ll be some bad ass competition to the CNN’s & BBC’s out there.

According to “this survey”:http://news.com.com/Survey+Some+iPod+fans+dump+PCs+for+Macs/2100-1042_3-5465935.html?tag=st.rc.targ_mb. I thought i-tunes was gonna do the trick (iTunes is the trojan horse?) but this seems just as viable.

Herverdeling media budget ;)

op basis van ongelimiteerde downloads en de volledige bibliotheek:

*download.vpro.nl - 5 euro/maand (10 als ik er een extra dikke vpro gids bij krijg)
*download.hbo.com - 5 dollar/maand
*download.bbc.co.uk - 5 euro/maand
*abo op het parool - 5 euro/maand

en dan hou ik nog wat over ook.

Vpro adopteert digitale televisie

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Vanaf 1 december gaat de VPRO via het digitale televisie pakket van UPC (en via internet) Holland Doc aanbieden. 24 uur per dag documentaires en actualiteiten als tegenlicht samen met 3VOOR12 TV en wellicht, dat horen we 1 december, nog meer thema kanalen. Komt het toch nog goed met televisie? Eigenlijk wil ik liever een nederlandse variant van de Tivo. Of misschien heb ik eigenlijk al genoeg aan Suprnova.org en een snoertje naar de beamer… kabel de deur uit en geen digitale televisie nemen en ik hou 30 euro per maand over voor suprnova.vpro.nl waar ik onbeperkt programma’s mag downloaden. Doe mij dat maar dan.

I still love “Wordpress”:http://www.wordpress.org/. In the four years i have been blogging (feels like ten). I have installed and used home brewn, hosted, pre built and whatnot weblog systems, CMS type stuff and others made in perl, PHP and even java and this one feels right. It’s simple but not too simple. It just works. Still no smart comment spam solution out there though (c’mon is wordlists the best we can come up with?!)

Not a clue what this is…

but it looks like a surreal cross between a power station, a half-life level & an art project.
