Baking

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 30 under General

I’ve taken up baking

My first loaf of bread wasn’t a success for the looks, but it tasted fantastic! My second one was rather sluggish with too much water, but I’m getting there. Add ingredients, let the machine do the rest. Suits me fine. And finally I can get good bread in Denmark […]

2x converters

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 27 under Photography

I contacted Soligor about their 2x tele-converters as I noticed that many firms have released new converters and that some (Soligor included) have special converters for the digital Canon EOS series. They answered (quickly, I may add ) that the 2x convertors are only coated from one side but that because the sensors in […]

Aldersgrense for giftermål

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 23 under In Norwegian

I Aftenposten i dag kan vi lese at Arbeiderpartiet vil slavisk følge Danmark på å innføre 21 års aldersgrense for familiegjenforening. I Danmark er grensen 24 år, og det har blitt bare store mengder tull av det fordi det slår ut foskjellig og det er masse bråk på tinget om det. Folk vil ha det […]

I Found Some Of Your Life

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 20 under Blogs

Where do the lines go for what’s too much intrusion into someone’s life? This guy has found a memory card in a taxi, and says: I am going to post one of your pictures each day. I will also narrates as if I were you. Apparently so that this person can get back to him […]

EF-S lenses

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 16 under Photography

Now I’m sure, I’m buying a Canon 20D. I discussed the camera with the corner-photostore guy who also just ordered one, and he said an interesting thing: don’t get the lens. Apparently, it’s giving rounded off images. Now, I don’t have the worlds most fancy 28-80 lens on my EOS 500, but I’ve never had […]

PHP5 - Sad state of affairs

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 14 under Work

I’ve been working on installing PHP5 on client webservers the past couple of days, and with some help that’s been going all right. Much I’ve read has been on the merits of PHP5 vs PHP4, little have I read on user experience. So here’s my first experiences with PHP5 and commonly used PHP packages:

Wordpress - […]

Mozilla OS X woes gone

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 14 under Technology

With the release of
Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 and Firefox 1.0 preview, the problem with Desktop Manager and CodeTek Desktop Manager are gone. For the past two release it has been beyond belief hard to input any text into Firefox and Thunderbird, to the point where I’ve gone back to Apple’s Mail and Safari. Now I can […]

Encrypting swap

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 14 under Technology

According to AppleInsider, Tiger is adding
an option to encrypt memory when its being swapped to disk. If swapping wasn’t a performance drain already, this will be. Unless, of course, “encryption” is an XOR thingy or similar. (I automatically assume strong encryption )

Om Malik refers to debates on Skype

Great point of entry into ongoing discussions about Skype: privacy, VoIP, statistics, infrastructure.

Customizing Gallery 2

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 12 under Blogs

In a response to an ongoing discussion at Binary Bonsai, I decided to implement Gallery 2 for Kubrick. Estimated time: 30 minutes. This is not Vanilla Kubrick, this is my bastardized version, I just copy-pasted most of the plain HTML and made sure all the CSS was in the CSS file. Reason being, { and […]

VST server in PD for FreeBSD

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 11 under Music/Technology

I’ll definetly need to read Using VST/VSTi Plugins In Linux when I’ll want to do the same for FreeBSD. Just reinstalling 5.3BETA3 on my laptop to make it my power music-station. Yeah, it’s still the 400 Mhz thingy.

Aborigines discovered America?

POSTED BY niklas on Sep 8 under General

Did the first Americans come from Australia? Not through Sibir from Asia, not the Vikings with Leif Erikson and certainly not Columbus.
