IE8 User Agent String

I should have known. The arrival of IE8 meant I had to update the SoccerProject code again. As I described in my IE7 post, some IE8 browsers also identify themselves as IE6. Quite dissapointing to me because this means I will have to update our code for each new IE version to come …

New blood again

After the extremely exciting title race in the Belgian Football Championship, we learnt that the Dutch forum needed some extra moderating. I decided to take this chance to add a Belgian and a Dutch moderator. Welcome Prince88 and Lessius.
Meanwhile Turkish translator emo80 silently left the game. Luckily the Turkish top manager Denims was willing [...]

Money as Debt

I just came accross an interesting series of YouTube videos. Of course I’m always a fan of conspiracy theories but this was really interesting imho : http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8. More info can be found at http://www.moneyasdebt.net/
The SoccerProject economy seems very simple compared to this

New Portuguese Moderator

Last week I had to replace the Portuguese translator, this week it’s the moderator position which gets a new ‘inhabitant’. As from now manager o_vencedor will replace manager Ivan Pavlovich as the Portuguese forum moderator. I hope he’ll do a good job and maybe he can make his forum a little more active.

TextLinkAds review

While I’m at it, I might as well review another advertising site: Text Link Ads. Actually I can be very short on this, it was no succes at all. Not only did we never get any reaction for our advertising space (this time the price was set by Text Link Ads themselves), but I was [...]

OpenX II

Simply because someone from OpenX reacted very quickly on my last post, I feel obligated to shortly commment on his comments.
- GeoTargeting is supported by OpenX, I like that, I simply failed to notice it.
- The difference in number of clicks might be partially caused by search robots, which is what can be prevented by [...]

Simplified Chinese

About three weeks ago I was contacted by manager tnds. Not only did he explain to me the difference between Simplified and Traditional Chinese, he also offered to translate SoccerProject into Simplified Chinese. Obviously a Chinese version of SoccerProject has always been a dream of mine since there are a lot of Chinese football-lover who [...]

WordPress in Turkey

Allthough it’s actually old news, I wasn’t aware of this until manager sedatyagli2004 contacted me.
He asked me for the text of my blog in order to translate it and put in on our Turkish forum. I’m glad he did this of course, but I was really surprised to hear that WordPress-blogs are not available [...]

All-time Div A stats

Upon request…
Manager cheathunter asked me to publish a new ranking of managers and the number of seasons they played in div A. I remembered I once made a press announcement about this, it turned out to be on August, 2.
Time to make a new list, here it is (not counting season 21):
kenny [...]

Wishlist Nokia E65

I recently bought myself a new mobile after having lost my previous one. That one was a Nokia 3330, great phone for calling and SMS, impossible to break, one of the kind they don’t make anymore.
Anyway, I decided to go for something better this time. The one thing I especially wanted was Wifi, that way [...]
