My daily RSS feed brought me an article on a mobile phone for the blind, which I thought was neat. I’d love to hear how these things work in reality as I figured voice would always be to much hassle and it would interface with the user through something they could read

I must admit I’m dead tired today. I think perhaps I’m getting the cold everyone here at the con seems to have had. Only thing is I had it last week. Oh well, the amount of heat I’m producing will save me the heating bill.

Anyways, been a Good Boy(tm) and practised my hours today, been in the choir, and been working on the Zope implementation at REGISTRAR. Put up a little test blog just to see that it is really working like it should. Now I’ve got to do some reading and learn some Zope as I’m sure users are going to expect I know all about it.

OK, a little old, but still. This article came in our local newspaper about Ingeborg becoming young musician of the year in Norway. Congrats again

Monday evening I had my first real stab at tuning a harpsichord. I’d been given an introduction by Jan the week before, and now was my chance to try it out (he’d come and tune it later as he always tunes it monday evening or tuesday morning). It actually went surprisingly well. Lots of it was in reasonable good tune when I left it. I first tuned it as I has learned, and then of course started tuning a couple of intervals I did not like, which led to other itervals I did not like, and so on… so after about two hours of this I figured that enough was enough and did my harpsichord lesson instead. And it wasn’t at all bad playing the pieces.

Trying out all these blog-programs turns out to be quite an experience.
And, I’m learning heaps of how lots of people prefer writing their java
programs. My todo-list is growing by the minute.

So, just to see what
this progam was like I fired up Windows and installed w.bloggar. My
main objection to w.bloggar and every other client I’ve used so far is
that they don’t really support images well. I do “insert image” and
they expect me to give an URL. Well, in most cases I’ve probably have
the image on my Canon Ixus or my mobile phone. I expect to have to
download the images to my computer, but from there I’d like to just
stick it in my post, letting the client and my blog server handle the
uploading between them.

Secondly, I’m looking forwards to plugins. My picture gallery is a
hack. I’m going to have a better stab at it, but it’ll include my
Apache-server, so it won’t be all within the webapp domain. I’d prefer
it to be so, because you cannot really expect long-time consistency
having o juggle a blog on two or three servers. And although I use PHP
and Python heaps, I don’t really feel like mixing them in.

Further more, I really need to get rid of this URL if I’m going to
substitute my homepage for a blog.

A last notice, posting this through w.bloggar removed all the newlines
thus making my entire posting unreadable. When I pressed edit in
roller, the title showed up but the contents didn’t. In short, this
sucks, there are clearly problems between the two (Roller is probably
at least as much to blame), but hey, that saves me starting up Windows

PS, when give me plugins… although so-called emoticons are plain
stupid, I wouldn’t mind a plugin converting the ones I write until some
that look good
