Fasterfox: Get performance out of Firefox
My rambling thoughts when riding in the backseat of my uncle-in-law’s car yesterday: “Wouldn’t it be good to have the Google Accelerator in a small way, like local, user-controlled, and… integrated in something I already use? The pre-fetch of webpages I am going to look at, and so on… Those can be good features. But [...]

You might know that I am involved in the [CakePHP framework](http://www.cakephp.org/) project, and I’m developing web sites with it now.

Today I needed a smarter way of walking through a series of screens to “buy a certain product” at my [...]
Crazy operators: J, a different creature
Warning to non-geek readers: This might be the most in-bred geek-talk posting ever to be made on this blog. Bear with me. Skip this post if functional programming and “different” languages is not on your plate. The web is bigger than this blog: check *it* out instead of my ramblings. If you are interested, read [...]
Automation of searching: Practical use of Factbites
Do you use a lot of time searching for the right information? I know I do.
The meta-web-search site [FactBites](http://www.factbites.com/) can be a way of learning about stuff that you have an inkling of. Let’s take the word [monad](http://www.factbites.com/topics/Monad) and search for that: we get a rather extensive and eclectic list of stuff about different definitions [...]
Tobias as musical star: A Shoggoth on the Roof (world premiere)
Tobias Wrigstad played Obed Marsh in the amazing Shoggoth on the Roof musical – here is the photoset: A Shoggoth on the Roof (world premiere).
If you’re into H.P. Lovecraft stuff, then go look. If you know Tobias, then go look, too.
