Open Source programming recruting
At the Reboot conference, I attended a less formal talk-session on how to make money on Open Source programming. In the group were among others: myself, David Axmark of MySQL AB, Copenhagen’s Umbraco (.NET content management system/framework), and the nice guy from Portugal.
You can read the points in this article at NewsForge “Finding an open [...]
Job positions, and who to fill them
Very seldom do we see this kind of lists in job postings. This here is an ad for a job in Portland, Oregon. (“PERL Application Developer”) We cut to the chase, to the last part of the posting, where special extra attributes of the applicant are listed:
> Would like candidates with lisp, scheme, ml, [...]
Geo-location fun with Plazes
Now that I met Peter Rukavina, I am involved in the Plazes development effort.
This blog post explains what Plazes is. Peter does it, too, at his Rukapedia.
In the bar at the right-hand side of this page is a little location notifier, which says something about where I’m at. That Plazes data. It’s free!
Like hacking? There [...]
An IT conversation with Meg Hourihan
Via misbehaving.net I got a link to the first interview with a woman at IT Conversations, the place for podcast interviews with people in IT.
Eläkeläiset
Found some Eläkeläiset music today. I love that band. Finnish, funny.
Image of the true being of Eläkeläiset.
The music consisted of humppa – their own brand of folk music – covers of 90s hits. Gangsta’s Paradise in a Finnish folk-version. With Finnish lyrics.
It’s brilliant. I feel better already. Can’t stress to these tunes.

Exam woes over: She made it
Luisa came through beautifully today, in an exam. The question for this oral exam was:
> Modern Copenhagen and the expansion of the urban public sphere
That is her core topic, her passion and interest. Also, that’s where she’s read the most, so she was (very) relieved to call and say she passed.
Yes! Ice-cream at the corner [...]
Impressive Ruby on Rails social software: YubNub
Social software + Web 2.0 + command-line action: YubNub.
YubNub lets you create link shortcuts, like in Mozilla Firefox, after some configuration you could type this into your address bar: imdb life of brian, and have those strings glued to the search URL of the Internet’s biggest movie database. Very handy. Especially for extra-special, custom searching [...]
Fixing ill-looking web content: Mozdev’ top50
This is an old post, which I’ll just publish, in the light of the increasing Greasemonkey adoption. An example of amazing Wikipedia usage. Yes, it’s the animate the diff list. Very fancy.
Here, the old text:
This thing started with me bashing a perfectly usable, but not perfect, website. I named names, being a complete asshole, which [...]
Swedish art scene in few words
My main man and artist Paul Steen gives it up on the state of the art scene in Sweden, right now:
> Konsten lever i hålor och dunkla källare enligt min senaste
> undersökning i modetidningen bon. det är inne med subjektivitet och
> personliga berättelser i Sverige, och det är OK att teckna och måla
> igen. Det [...]
