Opening hours (standard) format
Dear Lazyweb,
Is there an (XML based) standard to advertise opening hours of a shop? The way it should work in an ideal world for me: Every shop has a simple file somewhere on their website (e.g http://www.shop.be/openinghours.xml) which contains the opening hours in a standardized (preferably XML) format. That way I can easily import all these XML files (like a feed) in an application (e.g on a mobile device) and no longer have to wonder if a shop is open or not.
Thanks!

Application virtualization
Today I saw a presentation from Acresso, the guys from AdminStudio and InstallShield.
The topic was Application Virtualization with products like Thinapp (formerly Thinstall) and Citrix.
I learned that with these kind of technologies it’s possible to create an executable of any (windows) application (msi) which also contains all the dependencies that this app needs (dll, registry keys,…) to executed. The advantage is that you can create an executable and run it everywhere (from a USB disk,..) and on every machine (win9x, XP, 200x,..)
This got me thinking…
Would it be possible to create a virtual application (e.g Photoshop) and run this under Wine?

unstable.be or xn--unstbl-eua6b.be
I read somewhere that starting from next year dns.be will allow people to use special characters (accent , umlaut) in their .be domain names.
The so called Internationalized domain names (IDN). I don’t really see the need or use of such a system.
Luckily they designed it that way that changes to the existing DNS infrastructure are not needed because all the magic happens on the client side. The special characters are translated into regular ascii characters.
I think this will become another possible DNS problem that confuses people and makes things more complicated.
