Toes

According to An Open Shutter, his most searched for word is toes. Funny thing. So far my top search word is 47th street photo. The more nerdy words score good as well. What search words bring in people with you? And how do you bring people to your site and keep them coming back? I stick with my photos and hope someone will bother with my ramblings as well. ;-)


Yay, I’ve got my camera back. That is, my camera went in for service to get the 13 detected hot pixles (or whatever the correct term is), but the repair guys forgot to put in the battery when they gave it back. To make things harder, I live in Denmark, the repair shop is in Norway. But one month later, I’ve got it back, and they’ve done a good job changing the cmos.

Anyways, I ended up taking a lot of pictures with my 100mm f/2.8 macro, and while this is quite unfocussed, it ended up having the atmosphere I wanted. I have no tripod and I’ve given my father back his 300mm f/4 that I used for my previous moon shot, but I had to try this one out to see if it was any good. I took a few at lower ISO settings that got more details of the moon, but they reduced the lighting on the clouds. I’ve got to play more with GIMP or Photoshop Elements.

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 the IT sector, no wonder that the perhaps biggest organisation for technological and natural sciences professionals, Tekna arranges a course in Astrology and Management (ok, Astrology and Leading is the actual title, but from the text they obviously mean management)

Thanks to Erik Tunstad for bringing this up


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 evidence and figure it out.
