I'm one of the iPhone users from the world that are really looking forward to the iPhone 2.0 software release. The update will be available in June, but the iPhone Dev Team already got their hands on this fine piece of software. Better yet: They hacked it to let it run 3rd party application. And the best: It will be released this week.

A downside: It was going to be released on the 30th of March, but it had a couple of delays. They're improving the script & making a Windows version of the application.

Did you ever came across movies / films on YouTube, Google Video, MySpace or Break that you wanted to store on your local machine? You can have several reasons for this; Being afraid that the movie / film will get deleted by the host or user, placing the file on your iPhone or an other mobile video player and so on. Of course you can dig through the source code finding the source files, but that's a lot of time-consuming work. Here's a list of services that'll allow you to download any streaming video file from popular websites.

The list is placed in random order and feel free to place any services not listed here in the comments, or which one you liked the most. Of course these services can be used for free.

Yes! Another montly imagedump from Marcofolio.net. Here's a small collection of the best, funniest or coolest images from March 2008.

Feedburner is a great tool / website to manage and control your RSS feed. I've already written an article before on how you can promote your feed to the max using a signature. Today, I'm going to show you how you can show-off the number of feed readers subscribed to your feed in your own, beautiful way.

Many bloggers use the FeedCount from Feedburner to show how many readers are subscribed to their blog. I'm pretty sure you'll have seen the following image around the net (several times):

Although you can change the color and animation style, I can't really say the chicklet is very pretty. Here's the way to show your feedcount the way you want to.

To use this technique, you'll need an account at Feedburner and a webhost that supports PHP and GD.

Hi! I passed the "550 (stable) feed readers" border last week, so I decided to give my beloved visitors an update of the website. I changed a couple of things to improve the site. One of the things you probably noticed already, is the different kind of lay-out.

Here is a list of the changes made on Marcofolio.net. Feel free to give me some feedback about the changes. If you found some bugs, please leave a comment or contact me.

Everyone started out small. When you were born, you looked totally different than how you look now. This doesn't only count for humans, but (apparently) for cars too. Do you recognize this little fellow?

Just look how much he has changed! And he even had more friends to play with.

Recently, I was stumbling over the net and came across an article showing me the following message:
Hello StumbleUpon user! If you like this article, consider to give it a thumbs up.
It was as if the website knew where I came from. I wanted to know to code behind this.

I did some research and found out how you can find the referring website with a PHP variable. The mfReferral Joomla! module uses this technique too.

Check where your visitors came from & give them a nice, personal message. This way, you'll have a more interactive & personal site. By doing this, you can kindly ask your visitors to do something, like give you a digg when they came from Digg.com. Ask them if they found what they were looking for, if they came from Google.

Here is a "clean" version of the script, that you can use on any PHP based website. Just set your variables in the top of the script & you're ready to go.

Stay tuned for part two!

Subversion is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. When I'm working with a project team at school, we're working with Tortoise SVN. This SVN application is very useful to share files & folders in a Windows shell. If another team member screws up your source code, you can easily revert to a previous version. It really looks like the Time Machine on Mac OSX.

The only downside to this, is that SVN can be pretty hard setting up. You'll need to have knowledge about SSH and understand UNIX. Most people don't have this knowledge and that's where Dropbox kicks in.

Simply drag your files to your shared folder on your computer and everyone who you invite will be able to share the files. This way, you can simply share pictures, collaborate in a project and much more!

Currently, Dropbox is still beta. You can use this application when you're invited so guess what: Leave a comment that you want an invite and I'll be glad to send you one. Of course, this is totally free of charge.

UPDATE: I'm sorry to tell you, I'm out of Dropbox invites!
