Welcome

This is the personal website of Derk Braakman from the Netherlands. I'm currently working in Amsterdam as a Product Manager with the Dutch social network site Hyves. Before Hyves I worked at Endemol on the Crossmedia Department on various projects as a webdeveloper and project manager. My personal portfolio on this site is a bit outdated, it's from 2006 :) Most updated is my Twitter, you can find the thing I did for work on LinkedIn at http://nl.linkedin.com/in/derkbraakman and some small work is on my own little company website 404design.

Things I want to share with you

To get the counts on the different Social Sharing functions I found the following url's to get these.
  • Hyves: https://data.hyves-api.nl/?oauth_consumer_key=MTAwMTJfy115Fz7pHRdk-8SsC0_2uQ%3D%3D&oauth_timestamp=1319715744&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&ha_version=2.1&ha_format=json&ha_method=opengraph.get&oauth_signature=MTAwMTJfXnB5R_wULp827OZIAzBsZg%253D%253D%26&url=
  • Twitter: http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=
  • Facebook: https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?format=JSON&query=SELECT%20total_count%2C%20url%2C%20share_count%2C%20like_count%2C%20comment_count%2C%20click_count%20FROM%20link_stat%20WHERE%20url%3D%22'.urlencode($url).'%22
  • LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/cws/share-count?url=
  • Google Buzz: http://www.google.com/buzz/api/buzzThis/buzzCounter?url=
  • Google+: https://clients6.google.com/rpc
  • Digg: http://widgets.digg.com/buttons/count?url=
A php script to get the different counts can be found at http://www.derkbraakman.com/opengraph.php?url=http://www.derkbraakman.com. To get the source, have a look at: http://www.derkbraakman.com/opengraph.txt.

For developing in Adobe Flash you can trace() your results in the output window of the authoring environment. Without the authoring environment you can trace through javascript or to a dynamic textfield. Still it would be much easier to keep those same traces that you have set in your Actionscript code.

This can be achieved by downloading and installing two things (or three if you don't have the browser Firefox):

1. Download and install the Adobe Flash debug player at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. This will give you error warnings of all Flash related errors.

2. Download and install the Firefox add-on called Flashtracer at http://www.sephiroth.it/firefox/flashtracer/ and adjust the settings so the debugger errors/traces will appear in the sidebar of your browser.

Do you have an iPhone? You wanted to use your personal calenders in the iPhone Calender? With iPhone 3.0, that was released two weeks ago, it is possible to add Google Calenders and keep them into sync, like for example the birthday's of your friends and family.

Here is how:

Go to: Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Add Account> Other> Add CalDAV Account>

Type the following:

Server: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/yourgoogle@gmail.com/user/

Note: if you are trying to sync a secondary calendar like i have for my friends birthdays and my work and private calender, use this URL

Server: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[string of numbers and letters]@group.calendar.google.com/user/

username: yourgoogle@gmail.com

password: your google password

description: anything

Good luck and a happy calender to you!!

Are you are reinstalling your computer or has it crashed and you can't retrieve your old bookmarks. Then you can save your bookmarks (favorites) for once and for all? The Firefox add-on "Xmarks" is your tool to do this.

You can even make different bookmark-lists for different workspaces (home, office, etc). This tool even syncs your newly added bookmarks.

You can find this add-on on http://www.xmarks.com/ or on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410
