A new blogger is born!
Well, he was born a while ago, even though I remember it like it was yesterday. *Snufs*... Well, enough about that, today he got his own blog and started blogging. I just hope that beard does not get stuck in the keyboard. Click the image to see the blog

The news you've been waiting for
I know you have, just admit it. So finally the PhpTiddlyWiki is up and running on duffer, you will find it here http://duffer.mine.nu/tiddly/. Try it out if you wanna!
What??? You don't know what a TiddlyWiky is? Not even a Wiki?? Well, the quick description is that a Wiki is a webpage that anyone (?) is allowed to - and ABLE to, without any prior HTML hacking experience - change. A TiddlyWiky is just a variant of this, usually for personal use, where the posts/pages/articles or "tiddlers" jump around on the page. Wanna know more? Try Wiki, or TiddlyWiki. WikiPedia writes about itself: Wikipedia - Wiki, and Tiddly Wikipedia - TiddlyWiki
The DufferTiddly is a serverside Tiddly, that stores the content in a mySQL database rather than in the sourcecode, as the now very popular GTD TiddlyWiki

Picture of the day
No more 17th of May, no more spying on neighbours, no more smelling potatoes (yes, that's what it was, for the ones that did not recognize), and no more recreation center. Back to the lib again, here comes the finals...

Anybody able to guess what this is? I tell you, they've been there for a couple of weeks, and they had a very peculiar odor to them. To curious odor-fans: I am sorry I have to disappoint you, they're gone now.

Bonus Picture of the day
I just had to have one of those "water drop on leaf" pictures. I have to admit that the water is not naturrally caused by morning dew, for two reasons: 1) I am never up that early, specially not on a sunday 2) Dew rarely develop in a kitchen - even though I would not be surprized, taken into consideration all the other strange things that develop in our kitchen.
Everything's bigger in America
Everybody knows that everything is bigger in America, but is bigger always better? Does size really matter? In this case I'd say size does matter, but smaller is better.
Let me explain. I am living in a household of practically two persons, and we have two trashcans. Two LARGE trash cans. I took a picture to show, and put a basketbal in the picture just to show the dimensions.
So what is so bad about this, you might ask. Well, Americans are know for beeing the people in the world that produces most garbage, but it still takes about a week or more to fill those trash cans. When the average temprature in and around the cans is around 20 degrees Celcius, with peaks of close to 30 in the middle of the day, it creates a good environment for things to grow and develop destinct odors in the cans. And the cans we have in our house is not anything above normal. This is what most people have in their houses, som even have larger cans. I would say that a smaller size can,perhaps an average european size household can would suffice, even for American needs. The can would indeed need to be emptied alot more often, but I claim that this would contribute to reduce the horrible garbage smell that often develop in kitchens, especially student kitchens. Go Europe!!

Picture series of the day
Just a short little bike ride through my closest neighbourhood, a neighbourhood of students, these are a few of the cars I saw. Not to bad for student cars?
(Notice the flat tire...)
Not too shabby?
Cute little student car?

International Food Mart
This is a new dish I created. It shows how you can create harmonic food from different cultures: What you see here is a piece of typical French cheese, topped with typical Scandinavian, more presise Norwegian, cloudberries. It is best enjoyed on fresh baked French baguette, not the American industrial imitation used here. Uak!
