I just edited the tag mv_timeMenu on tagSwap. Because copy/paste on tagSwap does something with line endings that makes much code end up all being on one line, I post the routine here too. Simply copy & paste.

/*
  Creates a list of time values inside a <select></select>. Example:
  <select name="xyz" class="abc" id="def">
  [mv_timeMenu(-fromHour=800, -toHour=2300, -minutes=25, -selected=$db_value]
  </select>
*/
define_tag('mv_timeMenu', -optional='fromhour', -copy, -optional='tohour', -copy, -optional='minutes', -copy, -optional='selected', -copy, -optional='firstblank', -EncodeNone);
  local('result' = '', 'p' = 0, 'z' = 0, 'h' = 0, 'm' = 0, 'y' = 0, 'f' = false);

Using mind maps to follow your thoughts and track your findings is really a superb experience, every time again. And especially MindMeister, because it is 'in the cloud', i.e. web-based and can be accessed from anywhere and almost anything.

Every one of my personal projects goes into MindMeister if it involves more than just a few scribbles. In this mind map, I have noted all steps I must take, with all peculiarities that arise in the process, to transfer web sites and services from one server to another, in this case from a virtual CentOS server to a co-located MacMini Server from 2011. Mind you, the MacMini Server is no toy anymore - it is blazing fast!

I find this mind map quite interesting and since I am not the only one in the world doing stuff like this, I thought I'd share it so you, reader, might find the information in it somehow useful.

Veel leesplezier!

Time for boots

My son brought me a special wine from Spain as a present: a Monte Real Rioja Reserva from 2004! This one was 'all wood', qua taste. Rioja's in general are fine wines and I did not know that they can age that much. I can highly recommend this Rioja.

Naar aanleiding van verzoeken op Recensiekoning.nl en KinderTV.net, hierbij de links naar de films De Grote Dikke Beer Vertelt en De Draaimolen, welke wij voor onze kinderen bewaard hebben door de van televisie opgenomen programma's op VHS-cassette naar DVD over te zetten en de DVDs dan weer op de computer te importeren.

DVD 1: De Grote Dikke Beer Vertelt
DVD 2: De Draaimolen

De films zijn in H264 (.m4v) formaat en kunnen dus:

• zó in iTunes worden geïmporteerd en via Homesharing worden bekeken met de Apple TV 2, iPad, iPhone of iPod
• direct op je iPad, iPod, iPhone of Apple TV 1 worden gecopieerd en bekeken.

Update 10-02-2012:
Helaas zijn de kosten voor het extra dataverkeer iets aan de hoge kant en dus bied ik de films alleen nog op DVD aan. Stuur me een mailtje via de 'Contact me'-link onderaan de pagina.

25+ years old, but most of it is still oh so accurate!
