The state of wifi

I’m doing a tour through the out­skirts of Den­mark again. At time of writ­ing I’m sit­ting at a cafe in Kold­ing. I’ve been here before and even though I don’t like the place all that much (the music’s loud and … Con­tinue read­ing

Feel like shoplifting

Remem­ber, if you don’t want to pay for your cds, steal them — don’t down­load them. It might feel uncom­fort­able when you get dragged out of the store by the local police, but it should pay off in the long run.

Art? Phenomenon? Thief?

Two things I really enjoy; Lego and iPods.… And while pretty cool, I’m feel­ing that maybe the Apple craze has gone a bit over the top. Con­tinue read­ing

RTFM — lesson learned

Today’s les­son: When your lat­est phone won’t act as a blue­tooth modem, don’t let that bug you for months while you take a shot at it once in a while, while think­ing the son of a bitch will never work. Instead, check with your oper­a­tor what GPRS con­nec­tion point you should really use (it worked with your last phone, but you know what: You prob­a­bly for­got all about that) and then read the fuck­ing man­ual for the modem scripts you’ve downloaded.

[DK] Din bank vinder — altid

Den berømte 50-øre, val­gflæsk, protes­tak­tion, griskhed, flip-floppin landbetjent/økonomiminister, civil uly­dighed, sjov og spas.… Morten havde en sær­præget oplevelse, da han forsøgte at gøre sit i den gode sags tjen­este: Se selv.

[DK] Budskaber uden lyd

Er jeg den eneste, der ikke helt forstår for­målet med ‘fjern lyden’-knappen på de Kon­ser­v­a­tives ellers fancy flash-banner annon­cer? Indrøm­met, de giver bedre mening på den måde, men kultur-brian ser altså skæg ud, når han i fulkom­men stil­hed blinker med øjnene og håber på min stemme.

[DK] Die Dänische Volkspartei

Af grunde jeg ikke kan fork­lare (gæt­ter på for­doms­fuld­hed og angst for det fremmede), bliver jeg lidt bange, når jeg læser Pia Kjærs­gaards tyske udgave af par­tipræsen­ta­tio­nen (DF bruger frames, who would’ve thought): Ich freue mich, Ihnen das Grund­satzpro­gramm der Dänis­chen Volkspartei vorzustellen.… Zu dieser Verpflich­tung gehört die Notwendigkeit des Vorhal­tens wirk­samer Stre­itkräfte wie auch der Gewährleis­tung sicherer, geschützter Gren­zen.

[DK] Sund og rask DF’er

Bedst som man tror Ekstra Bladet har fået vin­klet en his­to­rie lige lovlig meget — og lig­e­gyldigt (rygtet vil vide, trods solid intol­er­ance, at ikke alle DF’er er skingre racis­ter med angst for brunt) — får Hans Kris­t­ian Skibby (med neger-blod i årerne, forstås) udtalt: Det lig­ger i gen­erne.… Selvom man er stolt og ikke spor flov over at have ekso­tiske for­fæ­dre, er det nu meget rart man ikke lige­frem fejler noget.

[DK] Kære lyd-internet

Jeg får sjældent tjekket op på de forskel­lige sites med ny musik til down­load, men en ‘nyt fra danske upcom­ing acts’-playlist ville jeg med glæde synce med min iPod.… Forskel­lige typer kunne være ‘virtuelt plade­sel­skab pod­caster alt hvad de har’, ‘musik­skribent laver et rigtigt program/sammensætter sin pod­cast ud fra en ide’ osv.

Clearing up confusion about the Mac mini

Little Mac

This is about the new Mac mini, as an added ser­vice to you and the big inter­net cable in the ocean I’m not post­ing the pic­ture.… Any­way, since switch­ing (get­ting a power­book) I’ve been feel­ing the urge to get a non-laptop Mac; for file stor­age, as an extra play-computer — and for stay­ing con­nected, turned on or what­ever when I’m car­ry­ing the lap­top around.

[DK] Værktøjet i orden?

Com­put­er­world, I er ikke just spæn­dende i forve­jen, men hvis der ikke er flere pressemed­delser I kan paste ind som egne artik­ler, og bevæger jer ud for at skrive selv, så sørg lige for at jeres interview-ofre har noget spæn­dende at sige. Man er i sin gode ret til at bruge nøjagtig de værk­tø­jer man vil, hey — måske de egner sig per­fekt til opgaven…men det er jeres opgave at overveje, om det kan have nogen værdi for andre overhovedet.

Kitchen AXers beware

A few sec­onds after I turned on the microwave, the music stopped play­ing and my iTunes came to a stop (which I’ve expe­ri­enced before when the AXes don’t behave as planned). The microwave oven and the AX is both just put on top of the fridge — radi­a­tion fuckup?

Congratulations, Microsoft

You’ve suc­cess­fully made the worst pos­si­ble browser on the mar­ket the most pop­u­lar, turn­ing nor­mal peo­ple into slaves and web devel­op­ment into a painful game of “let’s see if we can find some way out of hav­ing to throw in tons of stu­pid, lit­tle IE-hacks instead of spend­ing time on real devel­op­ment”. On some projects, I think I spend about the same amount of time adjust­ing my orginal design for the IE users (aka ‘the real audi­ence’), mak­ing design­ing a lot less fun and fig­ur­ing out what to charge the client a big fat joke.
