I wondered if i still had it; destroying songs. And, well… i sortof had it. My intention was to create a listen-able mix; so no terror and loud noise. It happened to be Rick Astley and Prodigy; what good can come from that?
The result is not a perfect mix, and not an epic mashup (like dj morgoth did!); its a listenable mix, which plays fine in a random playlist. Enjoy! (and yes, i know its a few milliseconds off a few times.)
Listen!
Tijdens de uitzending van Domien Verschuren, Domien is wakker!, is er aandacht besteed aan de Braun MTV Eurocharts. Het onderwerp, samen met een interview, geeft alvast een vooruitblik op ‘het echte(!)’ verhaal achter deze cd’s.
Er wordt gesproken over waar ze vandaan kwamen, hoeveel er gemaakt zijn, hoe dat dan ging en hoeveel er aan verdiend is.
In English:
During Domien Verschurens radio show, Domien is wakker!, one of the topics was the Braun MTV Eurocharts. The topic, together with an interview, gives insight into ‘the real’ story behind these cd’s. We’re discussing briefly where the cd’s came from, how they where made and the money that went through it.
This year, Eazy BV has created part 1 to 10 of Hit Explosion 2009. This months edition has a brand new selection of 45 hits; for you to download.
Unfortunately, some bad news arrived via via. Eazy (the current producer) stops. This is the last volume (de laatste dus!). The reasons are:
So make sure you get the Eazy BV Production release!
I hoped for a complete year of Hit Explosion 2009, but that’s just not going to work. So, after the 4 releases of the MTV Braun Eurochart 2009, also this compilation has come to an end. I regret this deeply, since Hit Explosion is THE way to get all hits each month instantly.
So for the last time; a list of links where you can download Volume 10.
If you have another location where these albums can be downloaded, let me know… they will be added to the list.
Previous releases can be found here.
Here is some reduced size/quality artwork, the original artwork can be found in the download:

Lovin’ You – Minnie Riperton (Troll version)
Trollin’ you is easy cause you’re beautiful
Being a troll to you is all i wanna do
Trollin’ you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is out of trollin’ you
La la la la la la la… do do do do do
No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause trollin’ you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with trollin’ you
Trollin’ you i see your soul come shinin’ through
And every time that we oooooh
I’m more into trolling you
La la la la la la la… do do do do do
Sing this while you reccomend people to delete their system32 folder.

The brand spankin’ new song by The 3 Britneys is called Circus!
After hundreds of hours of high-end production and many more hours of performing the 3 Brintneys finally completed this magnificent crown-jewel of a song. “We’re ready to storm the charts and stay on top once again.” according to one of the Brinteys.
You heard it ladies and gentlemen! We proudly present The 3 BRITNEYS – CIRCUS!

Some serious notes if you wanna know what this is all about:
Britney’s music is great, and she sings perfectly. That makes her the ideal target for a parody series (unlike Cher). In this series the three recently discovered Britney clones try to match Britneys quality performance. Unfortunately they can not sing, and therefore got a slightly less complete record deal. Not only to mention their faces… one looks like a Mudkip for crying out loud! This is their first single, and hopefully many more to come.
Last week i traveled between Arnhem Presikhaaf and Zutphen by train. Having nothing to do, i decided to start up kismac; an application that lists all wireless networks in the area. My findings are pretty nice.
The distance between Arnhem Presikhaaf and Zutphen is about 30 kilometers; not that long. In this 30 kilometer i found 600 wireless access points. That is 20 access points per kilometer (half a mile).
As you can see: large areas on the map are uninhabited. When i’m just looking at a city the results are better: 153 access points in 5 kilometer.
Â
Unfortunately i didn’t have a GPS device enabled, otherwise i could pinpoint the distance between the access points more accurately. Not that it really matters while traveling by train. Also there might be access points that did not broadcast its SSID.
Â
The statistics
The resulting log was exported from kismac to excel (via the netstumbler format). From there some nice statistics can be derived.
First, we take on the issue of security. As the below graph shows: if you would live somewhere along the railroad between Zutphen and Presikhaaf, chances are you can connect to the internet for free.
A total of 90 people did not secure their access point. 186 connections are ‘pretty secure’, mostly using the deprecated WEP standard. The nice thing about wep is that you can hack it quickly and easily with the right toolset.
The best news is that most access points are using WAP.
Â
Channel usage
As expected, channels 1 6 and 11 are used. The original idea behind these channels was to reduce interference. I’m not sure how that works when there are at least 10 other access points in the neighborhood using the same channel.
Luckily there is some hope. The awesome number of _1_ is using channel 128. Personally i believe that there should be at least 1024 channels whereof 340 are actually used. Then you are sure the 20 accesspoint near you could be on a non-interfering frequency.
The stats image is somewhat misleading; it shows a clear division of all channels: 1, 6 and 11 are equally distributed. Of course this is coincidence.
What is funny though is that an equal number people (compared per standard channel) is using a non-standard channel.
Â
Manufacturers
To my surprise you can see what manufacturer has built the access point. This has to do with MAC registration numbers (which are AS:IG:NE d to different manufacturers).
For consumer networking Thomson, Cisco and Siemens are doing pretty well. They take up half of the wireless router market. The rest, about 50 different brands, take up the other half. (note that askey and thomson are the same company)
Its nice to see Cisco being listed twice; once for consumer and once for professional networks. Most of the profi networks i found use cisco.
Â
Network Names
Most SSID’s are named SpeedTouch; people don’t like to setup something. The speedtouches are shipped by KPN.
To conclude this masterpiece of statistics; here is a list of cool network id’s that could be found while traveling by train:
Yesterday, during a BBQ, me and a friend developed Par2ForMac; a simple and effictive par 2 repair application for intel based macs. Par2 files are accompanied with usenet downloads to repair broken files. Thus-far there was no simple GUI application for macosx that could handle par2 files.
Â
The state of technology today is awesome; this application and the website have been built in record time; within 2 hours everything was ready.
Par2ForMac is the best par2 gui available on mac; this should make you sad. I’ve never seen any well designed application that can do par2 repairs. Please correct me if i’m wrong.
(edit: macpardeluxe doesnt suck completely: it can do par2 repairs and auto extraction. Yet it doesn’t come close to windows implementations like autounpack of R’n’E from newsleecher. Primarily due to the fact it looks outdated.)

Im in favour of the latest craze created by ae. After a long series of fail and forced meme’s, I see a bright future for Operation LIONCASH. It is funny, non-offensive and creative; a combincation ae is not very good at.
Lioncash
Lioncash is your dollar/euro/yen currency with a lionface on it;Â >:3Â . This sounds dull, just check the image below to instantly understand. To support this brilliant idea i designed a promotional poster. Its target is to be used in US store windows and where ever else is appropriate.
