I’m currently writing a new application for the iPhone and iPod. The initial version will be norwegian-only, but I’ll probably put out an english international version later on. I need to see if the concept is allright and useful. Hopefully it will be available at the AppStore at low cost soon!
Also, I’ve got a new job and there’s lots of new things to be done.
Sesam has released a new service, copying some of the functionality of Google Street View. Only done in a really bad way, but hey, that’s allowed, it’s called beta.
The service works, kinda, got some flash-errors every now and then, don’t know why, don’t care.
Some other interesting thing, they picture the car too:
You could check it out at http://kart.sesam.no/gatebilder. Better luck next time Sesam.
I just filled up my Flickr-account with junk. Visit http://flickr.com/photos/30775561@N02/ to see the action.
Only 100MB since I’m so cheap etc.
Okay, that’s probably not true, it will never be finished :-)
Anyway, I’ve done some minor changes to the CSS of my webbased DNS-admin tool for PowerDNS, makes it a little more presentable.
Tonight I’m working on some more features, like templates for adding generic records to zones etc., and I’m doing a few more GUI-changes. Hopefully it’s getting close to a public release, that would be pretty cool.
The tool itself is written in Perl using the Catalyst MVC-framework.
So today we have visitors from some other office-locations, some country in the north called Stryn and some other country in the eastern plaguelands called Sweden. Anyway, here at work we have had the greatest fear from entering the neighbor office to see if there’s a vending machine for cola there. We’ve seen the truck delivering items for it for some time now (couple of years at least).
Finally some unknowing fearless guy got tricked to see if they had anything in there, and he succeeded! This may be a new era for this company with a new cola supply source. Congratulations!
I’ve recently noticed that many popular web services add the keyword ‘BETA’ to their solutions. I have also done this now and I believe the business will be booming just about now.
Admittedly, there are a few bugs – but people like you (Let’s call you the ‹Web 3.0› -people) seem to enjoy bugs and malfunctions in commercial supported software and services. This site however, is not commercial supported and can therefore hide behind the BETA-classification without any shame at all.
My car finally got one night in the garage, and to show its appreciation it refuses to start this morning. Probably low power on the BRAND NEW BATTERY or something, what do I know .. After a few hours of oil checks, refills, cuddling and kicking it finally starts with a big cough. This has happened once before .. Maybe I should do something about it.
The cat also lives in the garage at nights. We haven’t broken down any doors or created any holes in the wall for it to crawl through, so he stays outside every night. I don’t want to get up in the night every time he wants to go outside or anything. He seems to like the garage though, so everything is okay.
Here’s a picture of him:

So we moved in to the new house two weeks ago and got internet from Telenor (adsl) last Monday. Works really well, 14.4Mbit. The new house is very big, we don’t need to move things around to get past them anymore, which is nice.
I’ve bought two Apple Airport Express access points to extend the wlan from the top floor to the living room. 802.11n-draft gives theoretical 300Mbit, improvement over my previous 54Mbit.. However, the ethernet-port is just 100Mbit, more than enough for laptops, mobile phones and the media center I guess.
The house is kinda cold since we don’t have any ovens in the living room. It came with an inverter that supposedly will heat the whole house. It just has one minor (read: major) flaw.. It won’t work when it’s below zero Celsius outside. So a project for the summer might be to install a good old oven.
So I’m currently fixing stuff in the old house, painting and polishing. Hopefully I’ll be done with that in a couple of days. Then we’ll announce the house for sale.
So now I’m back on the blogging-road where I’ll try to write useless nonsense every now and then. To begin with something, I can mention that I’ve installed Wordpress 2.8, dumped from svn for easy upgrades :-P
In other news, my better half and I bought a new house today! A big house with lots of rooms.
House 2.0
It is pretty old but well taken care of. More pictures of it might appear once we get to move in :-)
Oh, and I’ve began scouting for some internet access. Telenor kapaks won’t let me know anything about this house, but the neighbours are within range of 14-20 Mbit, which is pretty okay-ish. We currently have 12Mbit and I hope I won’t have to downgrade anything. Telenor will however deploy fiber-optics in the coming years! 25-50Mbit for the price of normal ADSL2+.
So there we have it, my first 146 words.
