Blood Works

Just finished reading Blood Work by Michael Connelly; translated to Swedish (“Blodspår”). This is something I usually try to avoid. When I can, I try to get my hands on the original-language edition (well, as long as it’s in a language I read that is). …

Feed Me Better!

I’m watching Jamie Oliver on TV as I’m typing this; it’s a program about his “Feed me better!” campaign, which is basically about trying to get British school children to eat better (and thus also about trying to get British schools to serve better food). …

The HP6220 in Sweden

So HP is rolling out a new fleet of notebooks.

Wonderful.. or?

I’ve gotten used to, and quite fond of, the HP NC6000 notebook. It’s a “just enough”-type product with almost everything you need, except a fast harddisk and a Firewire connection. I’ve mostly been using the 1.8-512-60 model.

Set to replace the NC6000 is the new NC6220 (there’s also a more budget-like 6120 and a 6230). The specs look OK; there’s still no firewire in any of the models I’ve seen – but perhaps I haven’t been looking hard enough.

Racing the 3400

I got a call from a customer this morning who wanted to give a Ferrari 3400 to his wife as an Easter gift; I wonder what the egg looked like 🙂 Needless to say, it had to be ready in time for easter, which gave us about four (4) hours to have everything set-up.

He wanted Windows XP, Office 2003, anti-virus software, and some basic configuration done. So after having a courier pick up the Acer notebook from the distributor, I finally got my hands on this beauty.

Drupal Theme: Kopernix

I finally found a light, yet styled theme for Drupal; it’s called Kopernix and is available from www.kopernix.com. Obviously, it’s not being used here since joho.se uses Serendipity, but you can see it in action on homrighausen.com.

Coming full circle: Enter Axel

I’m beginning to realize that the running-around-over-the-same-old-ground routine will not end for some time to come. This weekend, it was time for another birthday party.. . While Alexander was at the party, the rest of us decided to go get him a hamster (he’s talking …
