On technology and development

Ok, each month I get two new spotify invites since I subscribe to Spotify Premium. Most all family members, friends and colleagues already have Spotify, so if there are anyone out there still struggeling to get their invites leave a comment with your email. Right now I have four to give away.
update: All gone.

Just posting a small note to inform you that my blog has moved again. I wanted more control and decided to move it to my own server and at the same time my own domain. I’ve set up a redirect from the old location so most all links should still work. But if you experience [...]

One of my favourite bands Coldplay is once again giving away free music to their fans. This time it’s the live album “Left Right Left Right Left” which you can download in DRM free mp3 (192 kbps) format. So surf over to http://lrlrl.coldplay.com/ and download your copy today.
Thank you coldplay…

The WHS Media Connect Configuration Add-In has been updated to version 1.0.0.2. It now uses the %ProgramFiles% environment variable instead of hard-coding to \Program Files\. Should now also work with non-english languages of WHS.

I’ve started an experiment, an online petition to try to bring my favourite band Pink Floyd to my favorite music service Spotify. I’ve read about these massive Facebook groups that manages to perform real world actions. Since I’m not on (and have no desire to be on) Facebook  I decided to try out Petitions Online. [...]

Almost everyone I know is using Spotify. Sometimes it seems that the whole internet community is on Spotify even though it’s still in a somewhat closed beta. People are very satisfied with the service, and nothing can beat the free price. Does anyone actually buy the premium account?
And that is the cornerstone of my question. [...]

Doing some http debugging and as usual I use vg.no as a test page since they have such a nice short domain name.
I noticed something funny in their http response headers:

I sin farvel artikkel på Digi.no skriver Anders Brenna at Tore Neset fra ITavisen nå blir redaktør for begge nettstedene. Som jeg skrev i bloggen (kommentar) her om dagen har ITavisen tapt seg veldig de siste årene og Digi.no gjort det tilsvarende bedre.
Jeg håper ikke dette bytte av redakør betyr at vi får mer ITavisen [...]

Nok et nettsted tar i bruk Twingly. Denne gang er det digi.no, IT-verdenens svar på Se og Hør
Vel før iallfall, nå føler jeg faktisk at IT-Avisen (eller iAvisen) har tatt over den jobben. Halvparten av artiklene er dårlig direkteoversatt fra Slashdot, Wired eller andre internasjonale nettsteder. 25% bærer preg av å være insendte [...]

Found the old DVD-kids set from the attic for my youngest to use. Needed to reprogram the remote code against our DVD player. But I could not find the manual anywhere. Searched the internet high and low, but could not find the list anywhere. The company and webpage is gone a long time ago, but [...]
