New camera and photos at the beach

Published by Ron Mertens under Personal, Photographs

I’ve got me a new camera (don’t worry, I didn’t buy more junk – I’m just borrowing this one). It’s a small canon IXUS-70. It’s nice to have a small camera (my Panasonic is a bit larger, and my smaller Canon died in Switzerland).

AdSenseLog review

Published by Ron Mertens under Google AdSense, Shareware

Annoyed by Microsoft

Published by Ron Mertens under Environment, Personal

I just received a large parcel in my mail. It was from Microsoft (which was suspicious at best). I decided to take the risk, and open it.

AdSense toolbar

My latest toolbar (yeah, another one) is one for AdSense publishers. This one is more interesting than the last ones, because I actually coded a component in there to display your latest AdSense stats. A mini AdSenseLog, which is free… It turned out pretty cool I think
