Right, if you’ve been following my blog you might have been a little discouraged getting the 500 HTTP-error for about a month. Well, short story shorter: I wrote a velocity macro that had an error that brought Roller down. Removing the macro hard from the db didn’t work, so it wasn’t until today I could be bothered starting it from scratch. Oh well… I might put back a bit of the old content. We’ll see… :)

Apart from that, this is December 6th, my name day and St. Niklas (Sinterklaas). Had an amazing breakfast with my dear neighbour and now I’ll shower, go practise and then go grocery-shopping. The weather is fantastic today.

Oh, and yesterday Dag-Erling submitted a request for me to become a FreeBSD doc-committer. (you have read my thesis on FreeBSD, right?) This was after we finally returned to integrating parts of my thesis with the FreeBSD documentation (draft available here) and quite much will need updating


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


Yawn...

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. :)
