Het Enzerinck with planet and stars

Slak neemt de snelweg / Snail takes highway

This snail is a smart one ... found the shortest route.

Sunset embraced by trees

Taiga in de regenton

Onze nieuwe jonge vrouwtjes herder in haar eigen gevonden plek.
Update 2018: De ton is er niet meer en Taiga is nu groot.

Nostalgie - het Havenrak in Broek in Waterland waar ik een groot deel heb doorgebracht tijdens mijn jeugd.

Nostalgia - the Havenrak in Broek in Waterland where I spent much of my childhood.

Het is alweer lang, lang geleden dat ik wat met mijn foto’s heb gedaan. Druk druk druk met websites bouwen. Daarom is de tijd voor weer wat afwisseling aangebroken en ga ik verder met het opruimen van mijn foto’s.

I have uploaded two new background images for use as backgrounds on your iPhone to the collection (click here to view and download my collection). Image 11-A can be used for the lock-screen and image 11-B is especially made for use with the home-screen. Of course these are not bound to iOS - you can use them on Android phones too.

Sinds kort is er een prachtig mobiel pin-apparaat op de markt dat via bluetooth met je iPhone werkt: Payleven.
Op je iPhone draait de transactie-software terwijl het pin-apparaat uitsluitend de software heeft om de kaart te lezen, PIN te verifiëren en de toetsenbord-input naar de iPhone door te sturen.



Werkt prima!

Wel zorgen dat:

• het apparaat is opgeladen,
• je iPhone is opgeladen,
• je een opgeladen accu meeneemt voor je iPhone,
• er een internet-verbinding is (WiFi/WLAN of 3G/4G; GPRS gaat nog wel, is alleen heel erg traag).

 

When you're traveling and want to read that specific eBook which you forgot to put on your iPhone or iPad before you started the trip, then you need the following solution: CrashPlan or Dropbox!


I store all my eBooks in Calibre and Calibre stores them in /Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/Calibre/ and that folder is backed up too with CrashPlan. That is step 1.

With CrashPlan, you can (and should) backup all your data, music and movies automatically on unlimited cloud-storage so your data is backed up outside of your home or work environment. And thus also your eBooks! That is step 2.

And the guys at CrashPlan created an very nice iOS app with which you can access your backup on their cloud-storage from anywhere ... and download files from there onto your iPhone or iPad! And thus also your eBooks! That is step 3.

To illustrate what I mean, I put together an image sequence to illustrates the steps to take to download an eBook from your own backup onto your iPhone or iPad.

Very cool and very handy!

I use this method also when I want to email any file which I have on my desktop at home - I download it from CrashPlan and then email it ... from my iPhone. No need to setup remote login to my iMac, no need to setup screen sharing, etc..

Of course there are other ways, but since this one is completely automatic and also backs up ALL our data, it is my preferred off-site storage solution.


Step 1: Calibre





Step 2: CrashPlan desktop





Step 3: CrashPlan on iPhone
