Live report from the meetup (like a true geek)
**Update:** spelling, adding details, names, URLs.
Sitting at the Copenhagen meetup, like some kind of backchannel geek. Typing. (There were five wireless networks around me, so I didn’t need the password to the bar where we sit. Quite a nice location, a quiet, loungy upstairs. I guess this post will be updated more than once. Sorry [...]
Rails meetup, tomorrow (29 July)!
Wow, wow, wow. We’ll talk about Rails, we’ll do high-fives, and go to that café. It’ll be fun.
[Jesper](http://justaddwater.dk) raises a few questions in his blog post about Rails thoughts, and in the comments section [Casper Fabricius](http://www.kraftvaerk.net/index.php?id=298) points to stuff he picked up at [RailsConf](http://www.railsconf.org/).
The little, fast Ruby web server [Mongrel](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/)’s bigger than before. South [...]

Another upcoming geekdinner
Yeah, please do attend, Copenhagen geeks. It’ll be interesting. July 28.
The wiki page for [Geekdinner 4](http://irl.toothlesstiger.net/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Copenhagengeekdinner4) tacitly asks for ideas for places to eat.
There is going to be a theme for the dinner, I think it was something about finding one’s peers, how bloggers can strike up continuous “conversations of action”. Or somesuch. It’ll [...]
Textmate’s becoming my emacs
I am now typing this from [Textmate](http://macromates.com/), the Mac-only text-editing tool. I’m mighty pleased with Textmate, and now that [Tobias](http://blog.wrigstad.com/) pointed me to its Blogging bundle, more of my blogging will be done like this, from my favorite editor.
*Update:* Trouble hit me with the tagging part. Perhaps the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin and the Bundle [...]
Copenhagen garden houses
I have recently been to two parties at “koloni-haver” here in Copenhagen. This is my account of the local colour these visits provided. Also, this is where I try to describe the Scandinavian idea of tending a garden in a club.
A koloni-have (“colony garden”, a garden lot with a wee house, organized in a sort [...]
Public[er] data! Amateur loves public data
After typing this into a closed forum window in a section for Reboot visitors, I noted that “Many of my people’ll never read this. Better blog it.” So here I go!
After experiencing the near-mythical Pecha Kucha session (aka Guy’s 20×20 talks), I was stoked about almost every subject that had been touched.
Somehow they were all [...]
Word of the day: caltrop
I’m a word guy. Today I name my first Word of the day: [Caltrop](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop). There.
In Swedish: fotangel (foot-anglers?). Luisa told me the Danish word: partisansøm (partisan nail). Danes get cooler words.
Oh, my home country gets a shoutout in the Wikipedia article above:
> Caltrops have been used by criminals in some countries to hinder pursuing police [...]
Ruby on Rails meetup in Copenhagen
At Reboot, I was at a Ruby on Rails session called “Railways”, hosted by Jarkko Laine. A pleasant talky session which had the ostensible goal of introducing newcomers to old hands, to generate conversation.
Danish Railser [Jesper](http://justaddwater.dk/2006/06/06/reboot8-roundup/) summed it up, and he and [Jakob Skjerning](http://mentalized.net/) (“aka Mentalized”, as the Danes will say, not believing you’ll [...]
