NMBS/SNCB for iPhone
As there is no iPhone compatible website or application, I created my own NMBS “route planner” for the iPhone. This is no app though, this is just an iPhone website. Basicly, this is what you can do: fill in departure station fill in arrival station fill in time and date (of departure) At this stage…

NMBS API?
While trying to find an API or “mobile” (read: iPhone) access for the NMBS website, I came upon some cool stuff. The time table and train managing software seems made in Germany. The NMBS “look up” site gives you the software and version it is using (“Software versie/dataversie: HAFAS 5.21.B-RAIL.4.7f/5.21.B-RAIL.4.7k – 14/09/08“). Googling for Hafas…

WordPress iPhone plugin
For those using the PDA & iPhone wordpress plugin, which turns your blog into something more readable on a mobile device, don’t forget to add the Google analytics script to your footer.php (in both iphone-theme and pda-theme directory). As other plugins seem to be disabled. This is actually also meant for me, as a reminder,…

WordPress stats
Took me a while to figure out what went wrong. With the new Firefox (v3) and the wordpress update, I was no longer able to see my WordPress stats on my dashboard. Every (WordPress) login attempt, to see the stats, resulted in… Well nothing. I just kept getting back to the login page. No error.…

Mobistar’s iPhone webshop error code “30001100”
When I tried to order my iPhone a few days ago from the Mobistar webshop (which is using Ogone payments), and I got to its last step “Pay goldz plx !” something happened. Submitting the required (and correct!) info, using my MasterCard, I received this helpful error page (roughly translated): “Order failed. Seller cannot sell…

XML-Stylesheet
I quote my Hypermedia teacher from school: “You add <?xml:stylesheet href=”blabla.css” type=”text/css”?> to blabla.xml. You will notice that, once again, this will not work in Firefox for some weird reason. I suggest using Internet Explorer for this. Nevertheless, there’s a workaround for Firefox, using xml–stylesheet for you Firefox fans…” Well well, let’s all blame Firefox…

User-Agent ……/1.0
While checking the logs of one of my websites I noticed something rather weird. Some person (65.210.123.237) with User-Agent/browser “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows NT; ……/1.0 )” was downloading _all_ files from my website. Totally ignoring robots.txt and requesting pages without providing a referral. This seemed quite odd and didn’t seem to be a decent/real…
