I’ve just upgraded my iPhone to the latest 3.0 release… It was immediately simlocked! “Simlock active.” Why?! My iPhone is from Czech Republic, where they are sold simlock free! After a panic I found a way to get around this… Just restart the phone without a simcard. Open up iTunes, put back in the simcard and wait for iTunes to unlock the card. And we are happy campers! The phone restarts automaticly… And after boot, all files are synced back to the phone… Need a drink now. Stress full moments…

Last saturday Pat and I had a photo shoot with our bicycles. Here one of the photos. Me on my rat bike chopper. (Will add more photo’s l8er.)

Here me in action on that chopper last year…

I’m now busy with writing a filter, to grep data out of an large based HTML website, build back in the old days. Luckily they’ve used class names to point out the right table cells. I thought it would be a great job for jquery… But server-side… Could it be possible?
After some googling I found this very interesting blog post: “Bringing the Browser to the Server“. A real great way to use a javascript lib like jquery or prototype server side!
I use PHP to grep the HTML and transfer it to valid XHTML so I can use it in rhino.

./html2xml.php [path/to/file.html]

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
        $doc = new DOMDocument();
        $doc->loadHTMLFile($argv[1]);
        $html = $doc->saveXML();

        $html = str_replace('<script','<noscript',$html);
        $html = str_replace('</script','</noscript',$html);

        echo $html;
?>

Than I use jquery to grep all data and do an ajax request to a PHP file to insert the data into a database.

After some testing, my scripts only work wit an older version of jquery. I use 1.2.6, the later ones all give errors…

I’ll try to post more info and code later ;) Check my tweets for info too!
