  • New theme by the weekend

    I have been a little lapse in the updating of the site itself. Normally i either get obsessed with messing with layouts and plugins and forget to post content, but lately i have just been posting when i had something. Even then i was posting too little. I know … will do better.

    WordPress got better… or i just missed the changes 😉 My current layout does not support widgets which by the way RULE! I simply love the drag and drop way of styling your sidebar.. amazing!  The new theme of course supports this, and i have what i feel is a good compromise between a simple sidebar and one packed with goodies.

    Furthermore the new theme didn’t even require me to change any graphics. I will probably still be changing some of it, but mostly to stand out just a little. But overall i have for once been impressed wholeheartedly by this theme and fallen complete in theme-love with it :p

    Will make the switch one of the coming days, and tell you about some of the “new” plugins i have discovered and littered across the site 🙂 Also some of my old favorites got updated and revived 😀

    Also for funsies i will be using Tags some more.. i have often felt the need for them, but figured my categories covered it enough. But no more.. tags all around!

  • Cool music video made entirely from still photos

    Found this music video today, and i must say i love it. Music is great and the video itself is composed entirely of still photos.

    PRODUCTION NOTE: No video cameras were used in the production of this music video. It was created entirely from 45,000 Photographs taken by a Nikon D200 DSLR.

  • Updates, hypnosis and books 🙂

    Okay i have been too busy lately with everything to write anything of value here. However as always i struggle to change that… no i am changing that 🙂

    Today my two new books arrived, making my backlog of books to read just a little bigger. Both are written by Dan Millman, whom i have come to love the writings/teachings of 🙂 Sacred Journey
    of the Peaceful Warrior     and No Ordinary Moments.

    In my own journeys i have also come to discover the advantages of a little meditation and hypnosis. So i am deticating some time to studying some self hypnosis, and meditation techniques to help in a stressfull everyday life. So far i really like it, and i have included a link (to the right :p) to a danish Hypnotherapist called Jacob Strachotta whom provides some free relaxation mp3’s (in danish). Also plan to invest in a product or two from his store.

    Other than that i can say i am juggleing a busy everyday life right now. Programming alot more though. In fact me and a friend launched Team Bistromath (taken from a random word in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). We are right now only making small applications that we use ourselves but in the near future (propably weekend) we will begin our first games/mods.

    You can follow our progress and mad rambling about code, the sanity of the coders and wierd ideas and bugs here – Team Bistromath

    Thats all for now since i have some assignments for class to complete before work. But i can say i will have more articles comming real son 🙂 Thanks for the patience 🙂

  • Connery launches book at festival

    Scottish acting legend Sir Sean Connery has celebrated his 78th birthday by launching his memoirs at a sell-out event in Edinburgh.

    Sir Sean launched Being A Scot in front of a 300-strong crowd, which included First Minister Alex Salmond, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

    The actor backed calls by the SNP for a separate Scottish Olympic team.

    He told the audience: “Scotland should always be a stand-alone nation at whatever, I believe.”

  • RIP Randy Pausch

    I just got home from my trip when i read the sad news. Randy Pausch had died from his cancer. Nothing more to say really. It is a sad day indeed, but i hope that others will take from him his life lessons and be inspired by the way he lived.

    Randy Pausch, the professor at Carnegie Mellon University who inspired countless students in the classroom and others worldwide through his highly acclaimed last lecture, has died of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 47.

  • Pledge to download Firefox 3.0

    The people at Mozilla have started a pledge to get people to set the record for most downloads within 24 hours of the release of Firefox 3.0. Here is more from the site:

    By the way, the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted here soon – so check back! Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

    Firefox 3.0 promises to be faster, safer and smarter with over 14.000 improvements. Personally i am using the Beta of FF3.0 right now and i am loving it all the time. So of course i will be helping the downloads with 1 download 😀 Sign up now! 😀

    A big thanks to 3D Buzz for making these awesome tutorial videos!
