Skype for OS X
Finally Skype is available for OS X users. Been a betatester a while, and it looks great.
Blog spam
A couple of hours ago my blog was spammed with lots of comments. They all got caught, so no worries, but what surprised me was that although they were clearly spamming for the same host, they came almost all from differen IP-adresses, radically different IP-adresses: 12.22.85.3
193.145.88.17, 193.165.223.2, 200.35.83.27
200.56.233.5, 202.125.129.138, 203.150.28.215, 203.169.115.134, 203.246.165.35, 206.163.199.1, 210.3.7.150, 210.4.143.254, […]
Nicer Titles
Having seen Nicer Titles demonstrated at Binary Bonsai, I decided to incorporate it into my page. Don’t seem to work too well with Safari, though.
Categories and indexing
Hi. I came across del.icio.us in an Infoworld article, and figured: What if we make an RFC for categories. If we had a set of standardized categories people could choose to use, we could have blog indexes where we could subscribe on a category in a language as an rss feed and receive only interesting […]

Spammers Tarpit
Spammers tarpit has been posted. It’s a plugin that’s supposed to ask spammers to go away. Not an ideal solution as far as I can say. I’d prefer just increasing the delay, first a minute, then a minute and a half, until they go away. Using bad language isn’t any much help. And oh, it […]
Videoblogs
In Marc’s Voice today, Marc shows this video of Momentshowing. I don’t know about the guy who made this, but this kind of thing freaks me out. He’s assuming that just because a person is outside, he has the right to videotape him and show him around to everyone. Assuming, of course, that the story […]
Dealing With Creative Conflict
Keith Robinson writes on Dealing With Creative Conflict Within a Team. These things just can’t be said often enough. I’ve read them many times. I’ve said them many times. Yet I and many of my peers overlook them many times.
FreeBSD 5.3Beta1 & Enlightenment DR16.7.1
FreeBSD 5.3-BETA1 is available, happy testing, everyone. Also, the long avaited Enlightenment DR16.7.1 has been released. I don’t know how many years ago Enlightenment was my favourite deskmanager. Year 2000 or thereabouts, perhaps. Congratulations! Perhaps I’ll give this a spin sometime soon.
Nytt norgeskart
Fylker er tydeligvis avleggs, nå skal Norge deles inn i syv regioner. Større og større kommuner, nå “superfylkene”. Mer makt til færre politikere med mindre lokaltilknytning. Dette er ganske langt fra veien vi burde gå, mot økt lokaldemokrati.
RSS usability guidelines
Helge wrote down some RSS usability guidelines that seemed to settle our discussion at the Weblog Tools Collection.
Ars Subtilior
I came across an ok site with introductionary examples of Ars Subtilior, music from around Avignon and Northern Italy (roughly 1370-1410) (see Wikipedia for more.

Scream and the Madonna stolen
About 11.50 today we could read that Scream [and the Madonna has been] stolen from Norway museum. Not in BBC World, of course, but in Aftenposten and at NRK. Four, then three, and now two armed & masked robbers have stolen Munch’s paintings Scream and the Madonna, and the museums expect a demand for randsom. […]
RSS entries’ uniqueness and comments
Whoops, I seem to have sparked a debate on RSS feeds and comments at WebLog Tools Collection. Good to have these kinds of dicsussions going in this kind of open forum
Canon EOS 20D Review
New Canon EOS camera out. I read this review
and particularly I noted The camera also has long exposure noise reduction as an option. Does anyone have any experience with such noise reduction? Does it work satisfactory?
No news of silence
According to SmallBusinessComputing, Maxtor Rocks on With DiamondMax. I assume that means that we’ll have one really noisy harddrive on the market. Cleverly, they haven’t mentioned the sound it makes at all. I expect heavy noise pollution
