Google Adsense sandbox tool

July 19, 2008 / / 0 Comments

Today I found this great tool:
http://www.labnol.org/google-adsense-sandbox/

It enables you to view which Adsense banners are shown in certain countries.

The great thing about that is that you can see different targeting per country. For instance: I’m living in The Netherlands which means that my targeting is in the best case some link to Nissan or Toyota dealers. Not a really good targeting IMO.

However if I’m looking at what people from the US receive makes me a bit more happy: “Initial D ringtones”, “Nissan Skyline R34 for sale”, “Nitrox RC cars”. :)

And I just removed the larger Google Adsense banner two days ago in favor for Yesasia.com banners… :(

Initial D: Initial D World Eurobeat shoutcast stream

July 17, 2008 / / 0 Comments

During programming at work I like to listen to some music because I can concentrate more and it makes me focus much more upon the progamming instead of being distracted by colleagues.

Today I really was looking for some Super Eurobeat because I needed to speed up the typing even more… So I started looking for an Eurobeat shoutcast stream. Then I discovered Initial D World opened a shoutcast stream featuring Eurobeat on the 16th of April last year. Talk about nice birthday present more than a year afterwards. ;)

They say that Eurobeat will be broadcasted at least 12 hours a day between 4:00 AM ~ 4:00 PM PST, and the rest of the time it will be filled up with DJ sets and some other music whenever needed. Currently it should be Trance and Eurobeat, however I currently only hear Eurobeat…

This is their current schedule:

Initial D: GBA Initial D game movies

July 12, 2008 / / 0 Comments

Aah, I still remember having the Initial D game on the GBA emulator… I tried and tried to remember all options, figure out what the best option per corner would be. But I sucked soooo hard at this game I gave up after trying it for a day or something.

It’s great to see some people collected their walkthough on Youtube now! Take this Keisuke vs Takumi walkthrough for instance:

I love the oldschool GBA music (mostly Eurobeat in sid/gsf/chiptune) and the graphics are very nicely animated as well! Those Wantanabes are really well done!

This is a lot better than those crappy Initial D flashgames I collected. ;)

Some other videos:
Mako (Sil80) vs Takumi
Nazakato (BNR32) vs Takumi
Shingo (EG6) vs Takumi
Bunta (AE86) vs Takumi

Japan Classic Sunday pictures

July 9, 2008 / / 0 Comments

I finally uploaded all photos I shot at the Japan Classic Sunday 2008 last sunday!

Japan Classic Sunday 2008 gallery

Too bad I started chatting too much and didn’t shoot much pictures. I planned to do so, but all of a sudden most cars disappeared because they attended the tour around the area. So after a while me and they other AEU86 guys decided to join the tour as well.

After the tour I had to go home and I did not have any time left to shoot some more photos. :(

I will highlight the event later, and hopefully with some borrowed pics. ;)

Anyway, you can find most photos I shot here:
