I have this page elsewhere on this site where I try to keep track of various accounts I have with social networks and other sites. I updated it earlier today with some interesting additions.
It seems finally decentralized social networking is starting to happen. It’s all very low profile now but promising. It all started somewhere [...]
I’ve been enthusiastic about openid for a while but have so far not managed to openid enable my site. WP-OpenID, which is the main openid plugin for wordpress is under quite active development. Unfortunately, until recently, any version I tried of that had some issues that prevented me from using it.

It seems the captcha plugin (capcc) I was using with wordpress has been broken for some time. Probably this happened when I installed wp 2.5 a few weeks ago. My friend Christian del Rosso pointed this out. I installed a different plugin now (yacaptcha) which both looks nicer and hopefully works better too.

I’ve been using Google Analytics on my site for a while and it is really great. Recently my good friend Mark de Lange, who designs and owns web sites such as drukenbestel.nl (in Dutch) for a living, pointed out that Google also has a great web masters section with lots of useful tools and goodies.

Also tagged googleI’m looking into doing a little cryptographic stuff in python. Nothing fancy, just some standard stuff. Not for the first time I’m bumping into this brick wall of “batteries included”, the notion that the python library comes with a lot of stuff that should be good enough for whatever you need to do. Only problem [...]

Also tagged openidIt seems infoq picked up some stuff from a comment I left on the serverside about one of my pet topics (Server side Java).
The infoq article also mentions that I work at Nokia. I indeed work for Nokia Research Center and it’s a great place to work. Only they do require me to point [...]
Interesting post on how microformats relate to the Semantic web as envisioned by the w3c.
The capital S is semantically relevant since it distinguishes it from the lower case semantic web that microformats are all about. The difference is that the Semantic web requires technology that has been defined by the w3c but is not [...]
For some time I’ve been considering setting up some php development environment. Not that I like php but I want to play with some php stuff nevertheless (e.g. Drupal seems interesting). So I downloaded one of the popular all in one packages that combine apache, mysql and php: xampp. I have actually set up apache, [...]
Also tagged microformats, openid, problemsandsolutions, reviewsInspired by the hype surrounding the iphone and web applications, I hacked together a nice little toy to encrypt and decrypt text using aes. I borrowed the aes implementation from here and basically wrote a somewhat nicer UI for it. I still need to integrate sha1 hashing of passwords as the aes.js script [...]
