Lighting Matrix for Max

POSTED BY niklas on Apr 25 under General

I’m still a Max/MSP junkie (Max 5 was released today!!) and so I’m happy to present my new interface for Max: LightingMatrix

As you can see, LightingMatrix is a matrix of black buttons that light up when you press them and then fade down. When I get my certificate and get to put it on the […]

“Unknown architecture” with iPhone development

POSTED BY niklas on Apr 25 under General

Every now and again I get “Unknown architecture” when trying to compile. I found this post that has the solution in the bottom:
From the “Project” menu, choose Edit Active Target “
“. Select the “Build” tab. In the search box, look for FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATH. Highlight the row with a search path in it. Press to […]

Mobile phone and smoke detector

POSTED BY niklas on Jan 28 under General

This is just the weirdest. Not three minutes ago my Norwegian mobile phone that I haven’t had turned on since christmas suddenly turned itself on, and just a second thereafter my smoke alarm went bananas. I can smell no smoke, no smoke outside, no smoke in the entrance, not anywhere. What’s going on? Normally I […]

Designing a better shower battery

POSTED BY niklas on Jan 21 under General

The one thing I don’t get with showers is why there always is water left in them. I mean, I get the physics of it, I just don’t understand why I can’t just press a little lever on the shower battery and make the remaining water flow out in the drain. Then I can be […]

Blog back home

POSTED BY niklas on Nov 30 under General

I’ve moved my blog and photoblog back home. A few of my other sites might follow. I’m hoping to have them better integrated so. At the moment people will come up to me and say ‘I saw your home page!’ and I’ll ask them which one. Not a good place to be. I’ve been planning […]

Finding friends in Social Networking sites

POSTED BY niklas on Apr 5 under General

I need Adium for Social Networks. Adium is an IM tool that has ‘em all and runs nicely under OS X. Social Networks are exploding. So I thought it would be fun to look for some of my friends, but after trying to find a few it hit me: there are so many networks. I […]

No Norwegian for me, thanks!

POSTED BY niklas on Dec 28 under General

I’m so happy I took the consequences of the last failure trying to fly Norwegian/Sterling that I now flew with Cimberair. The service was swift and great! However, Norwegian is still trying to mess up their customers’ lives (Norwegian link there). Same trouble as last time. What is it with these guys? They make […]

Beware of flying Sterling and Norwegian

POSTED BY niklas on Jul 16 under General

This is flying with Norwegian or Sterling: I arrive at Copenhagen airport 1,5 hours early (I had planned on being two hours early but apparently the airport train was malfunctioning). There is one counter and a long line that has not been organised at all. While the line quadruples in size, security from another airline […]

mxdublin

POSTED BY niklas on Jun 30 under General

From the website: mxdublin is a Java/Python framework that can be used to sequence generic events with pure-data or max. In short: very cool, an easier way of Max/MSP or PureData scripting for us who are more into lines of text than objects and lines. Basically they use Jython and mxj, which means that I’m […]

Balderdash

POSTED BY niklas on May 29 under General

I’m reading lots of student reports these days (their exams are coming up soon), and in one I found a very interesting word: balderdash. Not quite knowing the meaning of it (I know it’s a game, but from the context it wasn’t the game that was talked about) I looked it up, and from Weird […]

Home-owner

Wooo!!! As of 15 minutes ago I’m officially a home owner, owning my own 3-room apartment of a whopping 93 m^2. Wee!

Post from Tiger

POSTED BY niklas on Aug 24 under General

Hello Everyone,
just trying out the WordPressDash widget for Tiger. I’ve been toying with Ecto a couple of times, but perhaps this will be my primary posting way from now on? I’ve tried so many different blog-clients, and I keep coming back to the webpage and simply writing my post. Call me old-fashioned.

Star Wars: Episode 3 - Spoiler

POSTED BY niklas on Feb 23 under General

There’s a spoiler available for Star Wars: Episode 3. Some guy has collected a lot of images and made a storyboard out of it. (via Boing Boing)

Flashes

POSTED BY niklas on Feb 20 under General

Me and Mogens were looking at wide-angle lenses, which of course brings me on to the subject of flashes. What I’ve really wanted to play with is several flashes, for instance a Canon 580ex and two Canon 420ex’es as slaves. But since Canon hasn’t decided to sponsor my blog with these lenses just yet, I […]

iPhoto 5 Revisited

POSTED BY niklas on Feb 16 under General

I’ve been using iPhoto lately, and I’ve been using it a lot.

First to the RAW issue. Does Apple make use of RAW? Yes and no. When at first you load the RAW, the changes you make will use the RAW file as source and apply them, not wasting your precious data. However, it will save […]

Tekna looking for the stars

POSTED BY niklas on Jan 22 under General

The Norwegian language has a problem: there is no such word as management. The word we use for management is leading, which as even a pre-first year management student knows is just a tiny fraction of it. In my experience, many Norwegian managers know nothing much about management. And since my experience is mainly from […]

Did Shakespeare have syphilis?

POSTED BY niklas on Jan 17 under General

Everyone seems
to wonder if Shakespeare had syphilis. He may have been given bath treatments to kill the bacteria and have had to inhale quicksilver to “cure” him and may have died from the treatment, which caused him to loose hair, shiver and become asocial. Or, people may be exagerating. You read the […]
