QR-Code Anyone?
QR-Codes are all around… and My Brain finally compiled a separate script to generate these neat little two-dimensional barcodes.
Enter the URL, selected the level of error-correction and the single-block-pixel-size. Just try it and enjoy!
If you like this functionality, also check out the implementation on ETEN en ETEN for promotion of the Apps; It generates QR-Codes, to visit the app-download page for a restaurant, but when you do so with a phone or tablet, you will be redirected to the correct App Store.

ICANN e-mails
When you have your own domainname, you will start receiving e-mails about the registration. Some are spam, some are legit. When to take action? Let’s be clear:
Any offer or e-mail about renewing, expiration notices, or about listing in a business directory or search engine, other than e-mails from your own provider, is SPAM!
Any e-mail from ICANN (ERRP / WDRP) or SIDN are just reminders, at the end of your registration year, or to keep your details up to date. Good to know, but ignore these mails. When registering a domain with MyBrain.biz, your domain registration will automatically be renewed every year.

App Approvals…
I would like to have an App. Sure. Development time depends on the complexity of the App, could be weeks, could be months. And after going over several versions and improvements, it’s finally time to submit the final App to the various App Stores.
“So that’s it? Good, so my App will be live tomorrow. What? Not tomorrow… So how long does it take? Really?”
Yes, check it yourself… this is the time Apple takes from the moment of submitting, to when the App is live in the App Store. See: http://appreviewtimes.com/
Damn!
Google Play and Windows Phone Store usually take a day for approval.
But all these periods are of course excluding the extra time/rounds it takes when the App gets denied at first. Could be incorrect screenshots, bad App descriptions, the App functionality, anything!
Apple, Google and Microsoft all made up their own rules for approving Apps. My Flappy Cows App for example is still not live on Windows Phone, because “it doesn’t offer any additional or unique functionality”… Thank you, Microsoft. Your loss, you’re missing out on my freakin’ cute cow game.
woff mime-type
Remember the custom fonts post?
Don’t forget to set the correct mime-type on your webserver:
woff – application/font-woff
woff2 – application/font-woff
Otherwise the font-file will not load…
Domain Names = Real Estate
Like your office or your house; Your domain name is the address where people can find you. Like real estate, not all addresses are available, and some addresses are more expensive than others.
It used to be easy: You registered a .com for international business, .org for organisations, or .nl if you only operate in the Netherlands, plus Continue reading Domain Names = Real Estate
