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:

1. If you have a protected DVD you can download dvddecrypter and install it.
2. Decypt your DVD to your local harddisk.
3. Download the program called Staxrip and install, it's a opensource tool.
4. Take the .vob files from the dvd directory and convert them to .avi files(Xvid codec).
5. if you start the conversion the program will ask to install some extra conversion tools when you select to convert, these are all for the good purpose. I usually convert my movies to Xvid-codec-avi. This is widely used, so no problem for everyone to play on there pc.
