Recently I launched TVnotify.com. TVnotify is a website that will send you notifications via RSS/E-mail and more, whenever a new episode of your favorite TV show airs.
The website was born out of frustration with the writers strike and the confusion that led from it. After rechecking TV series every week to see if there were any new episodes I got frustrated and decided to create a site devoted to my problem.
The site design, HTML and CSS was done by my good friend and colleague Jonno Riekwel. The rest of the site was built by me and was created using Ruby On Rails.
Soon I will be integrating twitter notifications and iCal feeds.
If anyone has any questions or suggestions I will be happy to hear them!

It’s officially social network annihilation week over here at Juice10. All social networks that bug me get one last trip to the site so I can trash my account.
Its really simple, if a social network (or any other site) bugs me without enriching my life I remove my account from there site and never visit there site ever again.
The following sites have lost me as a customer because they bugged me today:
I’m also removing friends from social networks that send me chain emails.

The now launched preview of Internet Explorer will not require you to “click to activate” before being able to interact with object/embed elements (Flash, etc.)
The guys over at Microsoft have removed the click to activate after striking a deal with Eolas Technologies inc.

Today is a busy day for the hard core web community members here in the Netherlands. This morning I attended the Amsterdam OpenCoffee Meetup. It was packed compared to last week, probably because there wasn’t any lethal weather this time ;)
And this evening is the Gilde van Front-Enders is having their very own meetup in Rotterdam.
Mangrove’s Ruben Bos will give a talk that will hopefully make professionals more professional and make ppk happy ;)
Beforehand HappyClog is having a beer @ a secret location somewhere in Rotterdam.
And afterwards as is custom with any social web related event, we will have more beers and fight over who has nicer class names in their css ;)

After Wilfred Nas passed me the ball I am now also going to share five things about me that you probably don’t know or care about :)
- I’m a fashiongeek/metrogeek.
- I love drawing illustrations in Illustrator and I have been doing this since I was seven.
- I’m a huge Apple junkie (although most probably already knew this).
- I have been thinking about starting a fashion blog and a podcast for ages.
- This is what I look like today:
(yeah I know my eyes look weird, its the reflection of my screen I’m not a mutant ;)
The next people I’m passing the ball to are: Rodney Ramdas, Norbert Crombach, Thijs van der Vossen, Manfred Stienstra & Martin ‘Windgazer’ Reurings

On 1 September last 2006 the new Dutch law on the quality of government websites went into effect. Read all ppk’s notes over at Quirksmode.
This is a great milestone for webstandards in the Netherlands.

After deleting quite a bit of spam from my inbox I came up with a semantic way of displaying email addresses on a HTML page.
The concept is very simple, you add text within a <del> element to an email address needs to be removed from in order to show the real address.
Example
Your email address is: nobody@example.com
Then you would add some text to scramble the email address from spam engines: nscrableobody@examscrableple.coremovem
To make sure that people can still see what the real address is wrap the fake text in the <del> element: n<del>scrable</del>obody@exam<del>scrable</del>ple.co<del>remove</del>m
This would give you the following:
nscrableobody@examscrableple.coremovem
This makes it quite hard to read even for the person wanting your email address. So to simplify this we could do two things:
- just add one bit of fake text to it: nobody@
removeexample.com
- make sure the
<del> element is hidden. This can be done multiple ways. You could add an inline style tag to the <del> element: <del style="display:none"></del>.
Or you could give it a class: <del class="fake_email_text"></del> and add a little snippet of CSS to your page/css file:
.fake_email_text {
display: none;
}
Pros
- Screen readers will not read the text that is not being displayed by the CSS.
- You can copy paste the email address.
- It works with CSS, Javascript & images off.
Cons
(If anyone can think of more just shoot)
