A young developer. A deal that seemed shaky. A shady business guy.
Having to go abroad to be slammed like this, it’s plain horrible. I feel with the guy.

Great news
See Luisa’s blog.
OK, I’ll say it: we are getting married.
Exploring with Wiki
Today I started reading a book (Extreme Programming Explained, by Kent Beck) that I borrowed from Brian (Kodehoved).
It was inspirational. It brought a tear to me eye, literally. It makes me want to start the Test-driven development tomorrow. And I will. No procrastinating.
And source code control. SVN > CVS, I think. But how do these fit in?
* Perforce
* Darcs
And this, lovely, lovely Ward:

Murphy’s Laws of Combat Operations
Eric Meyer tells about Murphy’s Laws of Combat Operations, which the wargamer in me (yeah, he is sort of small and does not come out much) thought was a gas.
* If your attack is going really well, you’re in an ambush.
SFTP, not FTP
The Windows GUI for secure FTP is WinSCP. When I’ve tested this, I’ll be a happier man.
TextDrive is requiring its users to use SFTP for file transfer. Break-ins are a bad thing, and avoiding shouting out your passwords on all logins is a good thing. SFTP is the solution to that.
OK, enough of my yapping. I just bought a domain name, and I host it at TextDrive: www.olleolleolle.dk.
Privacy, comments and blogs
I have had the first outside-my-circle reaction to this blog.
I had typed something disparaging and incorrect about a website. And published it here.
I named names. **Doh.**
Should not have done. (And I shouldn’t go on in any way about websites sucking.)
(Ms. Koi: From now on I shall refrain from snide and useless online discourse.)
Under the previous entry on ImageShack, Ms. Koi says it all.
ImageShack
ImageShack is a hosting place for those hard-to-place images, or the ones you just need to host somewhere, and Flickr just does not cut it, maybe you feel it ain’t fast enough for you.
I was speculating there, sorry.
Get a job: here you go
Hi, friends.
At the moment I am very busy doing some work, and I do not have the time to do nice, easy stuff like proctoring, at a school here in Copenhagen. Please, help my buddy Tim, who works there as the proctoring organizer, and sign up for a few work hours. Tim says:
> Also, I am in desperate need of more proctors, so if you know
> anyone who would like to earn some money, I have attached the
> schedule, so feel free to tell people about it.
I think I was paid around 90 DKK per hour. (Easy hours, though.)
So, whip out your email client and send me an email, or just give me a call, and I shall hook you up with the Timster.
(The dates with exams are May 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.) If you are interested, just email me, and I shall forward the DOC file to you.
End of an era
The first periodical publication in Sweden now digital. Rasmus tells it all.
Upgrade and upgrading
Luisa just upgraded to the new WordPress version, 1.5 (Strayhorn), and it is so much better than this 1.2 thing. Tobias also runs the 1.5 and I suffer from deep version envy. The comment spam problem should be interesting to look at, as they have just begun using their new 1.5 WordPresses. Has the upgrade removed the possibility of botspamming a WP blog? We live in interesting times.
Am also looking for free software that does this: **Lets you post-it note a PDF**. If you know of some free software that does that, my day is made. If nobody knows about such a piece of software, there is your niche, unknown programmer. Whip out you PDF library of choice and start rebelling against the Adobe hegemony.
And, Sweden has a feminist political party, the feminist initiative. They get my next vote.
