Welcome

This is the personal website of Derk Braakman from the Netherlands.  I'm working in Amsterdam as a Product Manager API with the Dutch social networking site Hyves at the moment. I recently left my job at Endemol, some of my work from the time I worked at Endemol can be found on the portfolio from Endemol Crossmedia Productions: cp.endemol.nl. My personal portfolio is a bit outdated but you can see it in the portfolio section (it's from 2006). The site derkbraakman.com is under construction (isn't it always???). It's about me and things that I like to inform you about. The del.icio.us, Bemba and intresting links are weekly or daily updated, so that is something you could check for sure. Send me an email if you've any questions. derkATderkbraakman.com.

Things I want to share with you

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

I found out that it's difficult to find the LinkedIn-profile-button that LinkedIn uses for members who want to promote their LinkedIn profile. So here is the link to the page where you can generate this button-code for your website or profile. http://www.linkedin.com/profile?promoteProfile=

If you are a member of the Dutch networking site Hyves.nl you can add the button to your profile information like the following code:

[gadget]<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/derkbraakman" ><img src="http://www.linkedin.com/img/webpromo/btn_viewmy_160x33.gif" width="160" height="33" border="0" alt="View Derk Braakman's profile on LinkedIn"></a>[/gadget]

That results in the following button:
