When I have some time to spare I play a bit of poker online. If you want to play you may want to play at the famous pokerroom dot com. There you can also learn the Texas Holdem poker rules. If you're more info playing at the casino you might wanna check out bwin.

Poker is a type of card game in which players bet on the value of the card combination ("hand") in their possession, by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains in the hand after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet), and wins this pot.

n casual play, the right to deal a hand typically rotates among the players and is marked by a token called a 'dealer' button (or "buck"). In a casino, a house dealer handles the cards for each hand, but the button (typically a white plastic disk) is rotated clockwise among the players to indicate a nominal dealer to determine the order of betting.

One or more players are usually required to make forced bets, usually either an ante or a blind bet (sometimes both). The dealer shuffles the cards, the player one chair to his right cuts, and the dealer deals the appropriate number of cards to the players one at a time. Cards may be dealt either face-up or face-down, depending on the variant of poker being played. After the initial deal, the first of what may be several betting rounds begins. Between rounds, the players' hands develop in some way, often by being dealt additional cards or replacing cards previously dealt. At the end of each round, all bets are gathered into the central pot.

At any time during a betting round, if one player bets and no opponents choose to "call" (match) the bet and instead "fold", the hand ends immediately, the bettor is awarded the pot, no cards are required to be shown, and the next hand begins. This is what makes bluffing possible. Bluffing is a primary feature of poker, one that distinguishes it from other vying games and from other games that make use of poker hand rankings.

I have now completed my mail migrating to Google Apps. The only domain left, since my first cut, was the my main domain, gemal.dk. This was special since it had the most aliases on it and it also had users on it. So I had to migrate those mailbox too and coordinated the migration.

First I logged into GratisDNS, which hosts the DNS information for my domains. Here I changed the MX records so that they pointed to Google Apps.

Before this I of course had created the necessary mailing lists and users in my Google Apps.

Ad: Versicherungen

Then I started to copy all my mail to Google Apps. For this I used the latest version of imapsync. The complete command was:

imapsync --host1 m00.opasia.dk --user1 gemal --passfile1 pass1 --host2 imap.gmail.com --user2 henrik@gemal.dk --passfile2 pass2 --noauthmd5 --ssl2 --syncinternaldates

This took around 2 hours. Yes I have a lot of mails. But then I was ready to go.

After I got the Nokia N95 I have a few tips and tricks that I like to share:

Firmware upgrade
Always start by upgrading the firmware to the latest version. Besides fixing bugs, the firmware also provides new features. In the version that I upgraded to, I got A-GPS (Assisted GPS) which cut the GPS lock-in time in half. You can upgrade the firmware by using the Nokia Software Updater.

Map loader
Use the Nokia Map Loader to download maps and voices for the GPS.
Tip: For some reason this application will fail when it start up if you're behind a proxy. You'll get an error saying "An unexpected error occurred.". This fix is to disable your proxy and try again.

Nokia PC Suite
With Nokia PC Suite, you can connect your phone to a PC and access mobile content as if the phone and the PC were one.

Mail for Exchange
If you're using Exchange for the corporate email, you should install the Mail for Exchange application. This will provide you with access to your Exchange mailbox. It also features push email. This way you dont have to check for emails. The email are pushed to your phone the second they arrive at your mailbox. Very handy. I've set it up so that it doesn't push any emails in the weekends.
Tip: The application doesn't work with the normal "TDC WAP 3G+GPRS" setting, since it uses a proxy. You have go use a non proxy setting. You can get the TDC non proxy setting by going here and choose the "internet" setting.

Other cool software
Sports Tracker from the Nokia Beta Labs
Sports Tracker is a GPS based activity tracker. Information such as speed, distance and time are automatically stored to your training diary.

Opera Mini
Even though I'm a huge Mozilla fan, I always install the Opera Mini browser in my mobile phone. You can install Opera Mini using a SMS Link.

Nokia Mobile Search
Nokia Mobile Search software gives your Nokia phone a powerful, fast way to access local information, websites, and images. It also searches for messages and other files right in your phone.

RSS Reader
Even though that it's almost impossible to find, the Nokia N95 actually has a RSS reader build in to it. You first have to use the browser to find the website that has the RSS site. Then you subscribe to the site RSS feed. Read more about tweaking the look of the RSS feeds.

Conversation
I haven't used it yet, but the Conversation application looks promising. Conversation is a messaging application that allows you to follow your conversations, organized by individual contacts. In addition, the application provides an easy way for replying to messages, and to continue the conversations.

Flickr
You can save all your pictures to your Flickr account. Remember you have to use this page to get it work. You cant use your normal Flickr username/password.

My new mobile phone is the Nokia N95, which is very nice. My last phone was the huge Sony Ericsson P990i. The Nokia N95 is small, fast and has got GPS build in to it. This adds yet another entry to my long phone list.

Inspired by the list that Jan made I've tried to list all the mobile phones that I've used.

I started with the Nokia 3210, which is actually the only mobile phone that I bought myself. All the others have been payed by my employee.

Then I moved to one of the best phones I ever had. The Nokia 7110. The so called Matrix phone, since a modified version of it was featured in the Matrix movie.

At the same time I had the Nokia 7110 I also was playing around testing WAP with the Ericsson R320s phone. It was one of the first business phones on the marked and the one I've got was a prototype and of cause it didn't work very well.

Then I got the Nokia 7650 that had a camera. Actually it was the first Nokia phone with a camera.

When that broke I once again move to Sony Ericsson. This time with the K700i. Along with that I also had a T630 but I never really used that. Handed it off to my wife.

Then I got my current phone, Sony Ericsson P990i.

Now I'm also testing a Nokia E65 and HTC S710. Both phones miss a critical feature for me, a FM radio. I use the radio a lot when traveling so that is a key feature in my mobile phone.

Best phone conclussion: The Nokia 7110. It was a really cool phone at the time.

Nu var tiden kommet til at TV'et i stuen skulle skiftes ud. Det store gamle Grundig Elegance 28" er blevet flyttet op i sommerhuset.

Da vi allerede har et Samsung fladskærm TV og er utroligt glade for det, så bestemte vi os ret tidligt for at det nye TV også skulle være et Samsung. Og da konen fik lov til at bestemme at TV'et skulle være hvidt, således det passede ind i stuens øvrige farver, satte det jo antallet af valg markant ned. Der var faktisk kun en model som vi kunne vælge, nemlig LE32R71 serien. Og da vi gerne ville have et 32" TV var valget jo nemt. Det blev således et Samsung LE32R71W. Og som Kenne sagde "If it does't fly with the miss's, it doesn't fly at all.

Samsung LE32R71W er et HD forberedt TV med dynamisk kontrast på 5000:1, 10 bits signalbehandling og 12,8 milliarder farver, 8 ms. responstid og lysstyrke på 500 cd/m2. Det har desuden HDMI- og PC-indgang. Se flere specifikationer.

TV'et blev købt hos Befro da jeg sparede ca. kr 1.000,- i forhold til hvis jeg skulle have købt det i Fona. Befro leverede desuden fragtfrit. Jeg bestilte TV'et kl. ca. 15 og næste dag kl 10, stod pakkeposten med TV'et. Nice!

Ligesom sidst undgik jeg de superdyre Vogels beslag og valgte at købe et fra Multibrackets.

My Sony Ericsson K700i mobile phone was dying. The internal joystick wasn't working anymore. This is one of the most common problems on these phones. Furthermore the phone sometimes rebooted when receiving a call. A nice feature if you don't want to talk to the one that's calling but not very nice in general.

So I borrowed a HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger Pocket PC Phone. My first impression was: a nice phone with a lot of features. It had build in GPS and a full QWERT keyboard. But the more I used the phone the more I disliked it. First of all it was slow as hell. Switching from PDA mode into phone mode, when the phone rang, could take up to 5 seconds. That's a long time waiting for to be able to pick up the phone. The GPS was a bit slow on getting the initial satellite connection, but that could be due to the lack of SiFR chip. Otherwise the GPS was actually ok. I was running TomTom Navigator 6. Battery lifetime was also very short. Had to recharge the phone everyday. A feature I really missed was a build in radio. All in all not a very good phone. Windows is bad enough and Windows in phone is even worse.

After looking through the marked I decided the my new phone should be a Sony Ericsson P990i. It's a 3G phone packed with cool features. It has Wireless LAN support. So when I'm at home I connect it to my Linksys WRT54G using WPA2. It also has a radio built in, so I can listen to my favorite station, DR P1. I bought a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo so that I can download my favorite podcasts and listen to them when I go to Århus. I use Nimiq to download my podcasts. The user interface of the phone is UIQ 3 and it's has Symbian OS v9.1 as operating system. See more specs on the phone.

All in all a nice phone. You have to get used to the user interface, since it's very different than ordinary phones. And remember to update the phone firmware using Sony Ericsson Update Service.

Since I bought my 320GB external harddrive I've missed a couple of features. Don't get me wrong. The 320GB Western Digital MyBook Premium is a cool product and it has worked perfectly. But since I have a laptop and a docking station, the external harddrive was attached to my docking station. That meant that when I was sitting in the living room with my laptop, I had no access to my external harddrive, because it was attached to the docking station in the office. So I started looking around for a new solution. And a network attached storage (NAS) seemed to fit my requirements.

So now I'm the happy owner of a Buffalo LinkStation Pro. It's a 320GB network attached storage drive. It has build in FTP server and is using a SATA drive. The drive is now attached to my router and it has worked perfectly. I've mapped the drives from my Windows PC and can now access the drives from anywhere.

So what happened to my other 320GB drive? I sold it to a colleague.

Grunden til at denne blog har ligget stille et et stykke tid er at jeg er blevet far. Hurra hurra!

Onsdag den 31 januar 2007 kl 03:29 blev jeg far til en lille dreng, Mads Gemal. Noget jeg har ventet på i et godt stykke tid. Lige så svær som han var at få ind, lige så svær var han at få ud. Vi tog således den store fødselspakke. Først så gennemgik Nina næsten en helt almindelig fødsel, for til aller sidst at måtte få hjælp af et kejsersnit, da hans hoved lå lidt skråt. Men det blev en velskabt dreng og alle har det godt.

Til de teknisk interreserede, så vejede han 2950g og målte 53cm.

Tro mod dagens internetkultur, så har han fået sin egen hjemmeside på http://mads.gemal.dk/

I invested in a new external hard drive. The hard drive I choose was the Western Digital MyBook Premium 320GB. 320GB should be enough for a couple of years of data. I currently have around 13GB of pictures. The drive is pretty fast and doesn't make that much noise and then it looks good.

If you look carefully at the drive (photo 1, photo 2) you can see that the cover has morse code in it. The morse code has words like "innovative", "reliable", "personal", "design", and "simple in it. Super cool!

The drive also won the "Best in test" in the October 2006 issue of the Danish version of PC World.

I paid around DKK 1.100,- (Danish kroner) for the 320GB. Using the currency converter it's around $190,- which again calculates to $1.7 per GB.

For backup I use the very good and free Cobian Backup. It's a Windows program and it has all the things and features I need. It can do incremental backups, has schedules and a load of other things. And the GUI is nice and simple.

You can read more about the drive at wdmybook.com and the morse code at Wikipedia.

Så blev det igen tid til Banff Mountain Film Festival 2006. Igen i år blev det afholdt på Base Camp på holmen. Det er nu anden gang vi, Jacob og Thomas og undertegnede, er med til Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Festivalen starter altid med et par foredrag, hvorefter de udvalgte film vises. I år syntes jeg klart at det var foredragene der var det bedste. Især Søren Gudman's var fascinerende. Du kan læse meget mere om Søren Gudman's expedition på 7zummits.dk.

Da Søren Gudmann den 14. december 2005 stod på toppen af Mount Vinson på Antarktis og skuede ud over sneklædte bjerglandskaber i knap 5000 meters højde, havde han bedrevet, hvad ingen hidtil havde troet var muligt. Ikke blot havde han besteget den højeste bjergtinde på hvert af de syv kontinenter - en bedrift, der i sig selv er ganske usædvanlig - han havde endda gjort det på rekordtid og således forbedret en af bjergbestigningens allerstørste legender Rob Halls 15 år gamle rekord med hele 21 dage. Gudmann gennemførte projektet på blot 193 dage og blev den første dansker, der havde besteget alle syv tinder.

I filmkategorien var det den første film, Parallelojams, jeg syntes der var den bedste.
En underholdende og inspirerende film om en flok klippe-narkomaner, der tager alt i brug - fingre, hænder, albuer, fødder og knæer - for at bestige en række frygtindgydende klipper, der rager durk op i himlen i det legendariske naturområde Indian Creek i Utah. En hyldest til den fri klatring i sin rene form med en god blanding af humor og nyttige tips.

Hvad har Tintin, Band of Brothers og Godfather tilfælles? Ikke særligt meget skulle man tror. Men efter lidt opkøb på MovieZoo og CDON indgår de nu alle i min meget lille DVD samling. Den består ud over de nyindkøbte film af Ringenes Herre Filmtrilogien samt en masse DVD film som jeg har vundet.

Tintin DVD boxen indeholder alle de 21 klassiske Tintin film. Det giver ca. 15 timers Tintin tegnefilm. Det giver minder tilbage til hvor jeg så Troldspejlet hver gang. Nu får jeg det kun set meget sjældent.

Band of Brothers DVD'en kan man ikke komme udenom. Det er en helt og aldeles fantastisk TV serie. Med på 6 disc DVD'en er lidt bonus materiale såsom hvordan de optog serien samt en dokumentarfilm om den rigtige E-company gruppe. Hvis du ikke har denne DVD så skynd dig at købe den.

Godfather DVD'en faldt jeg over mens jeg shoppede de andre. Den indeholder selvfølgelig alle 3 Godfather film samt en bonus disk med 3 timers ekstra materiale. Jeg har ikke set den endnu så jeg aner ikke om bonus materialet er noget værd, mens filmene jo er rigtigt gode. Så måske en regnfuld dag i sommerhuset kommer jeg igennem dem.

Så fik jeg endeligt købt et fladskærms TV. Det er ikke mit primære TV, men "blot" et ekstra. En beslutning om sådan et køb kan godt tage lidt tid hos mig. Jeg overvejede jo både om man skulle gå "the Thomas Kenne way" og overgive sig og købe Medion, eller måske købe det online i en eller anden forretning for at spare lidt. Jeg valgte dog i sidste ende at suse forbi Fona og købe TV'et der. Hvis der er problemer er det noget nemmere at aflevere tilbage i butikken, end at skulle sende et TV med posten. Og trust me, jeg har prøver det. TV'et i sommerhuset er jo fra Medion købt i Aldi (argh!) og det har været sendt retur 2 gange nu (ganske gratis skal det lige tilføjes). Sidste gang blev det helt udskiftet og jeg fik et nyt, større og bedre tilbage. Så Aldi's kundeservice skal man ikke klage over. Problemet har været lige at finde en tom TV kasse at skulle sende det retur i. At cykle hjem med en tom papkasse til et Sony 32" TV i blæsevejr kan være en udfordring!

Nå men det blev altså et Samsung LE23T51 som er et 23" LCD TV. Det er et 16:9 widescreen-fjernsyn, HDTV Ready, kontrast på 2000 mod 1, en opløsning på 1366 x 768 pixel og 16,7 millioner farver. Og prisen var kr. 4.999,-. Og i stedet for et købe et hammer dyrt (kr. 699,-) Vogels beslag til at hænge TV'et op på væggen med, smuttede jeg over i Silvan og købte et til kr. 99,-

Jeg har igen igen vundet lidt. Denne gang er det 2 stk billetter til landskampen mellem FC Zulu og svenske FCZ, som jeg har vundet gennem TV2 Zulu. Læs mere her. Vi snakker Søndag den 30 oktober 2005 kl 17 på Farum Park.

Da jeg ikke er hjemme på dette tidspunkt har DU nu muligheden for at få fingerene i billetterne. Alt du skal gøre er at smide en kommentar på denne entry med et link til et sjovt billede med temaet Zulu.

FC Zulu er i fuld gang med at varme op til at møde arvefjenden Sverige senere på sæsonen - heraf undertitlen for FC Zulu sæson II. Kom og hep på FC Zulu, når de skal møde arvefjenden, svenske FCZ fra hinsidan, søndag 30. oktober kl.17 i Farum Park.

Landskampen mellem FC Zulu og svenske FCZ bliver spillet lige efter at FCN - EfB har spillet. Dvs at billetterne giver gratis superliga kamp adgang. Læs mere her

Jeg holder lidt styr på hvor meget benzin vores bil bruger. Hver gang vi tanker skriver vi lige op hvad kilometertælleren står på og skriver det så ind i et lille OpenOffice.org regneark.

Derfor ved jeg nu at vi i vores Renault Megane 1.6 16V Authentic - årgang 2001, som vi har haft i 211 dage, har kørt 7.685 km og brugt for kr 5.459,- benzin. Det giver at vi i snit har kørt 36 km om dagen i al den tid vi har haft vores bil. Det er meget pænt taget i betragtning af vi ikke bruger den i dagligdagen frem og tilbage på arbejde. Det er selvfølgeligt vores mange ture til sommerhuset der trækker tallet op.

Så alt i alt er vores gennemsnitlige brændstofforbrug for vores kørsel 12,73 km/l. Ifølge hvorlangtpaaliteren.dk er det opgivet til 14,3 km/l, men det er sikkert det optimistiske tal fra fabrikken, der kræver at man kører lidt alt for kedeligt.

Lige en lille update på det kuturelle område. Var til koncert igår i Vega med det store norske band Kaizers Orchestra. Beskrivelsen af bandet er Norske Kaizers Orchestra er med deres skramlende folke-polka-punk et usædvanligt populært livenavn. Super fed koncert. De spillede i næsten 2 timer.

Har også fået set filmen Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage.

The Copenhagen Opera House is an amazing building. We went there yesterday to see the ballet The Little Mermaid which of course is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. Life is much more than Mozilla and work...

Så gennemførte jeg DHL stafetten igen i år. Undskyldninger er der nok af, men en uge på Kreta med lidt for meget god mad og for meget is var nok med til at skubbe tiden lidt. Host host...:)

Men jeg fik da en nogenlunde tid på 23:13 og mit hold en samlet tid på et par sekunder over 2 timer. Da jeg denne gang kunne finde ud af at bruge mit løbe ur er her mine kilometertider 4:15, 4:28, 4:38, 4:46, 5:06. Næste år kommer jeg stærkt tilbage.

Og ja det er lidt sjovt at hvis man søger på DHL stafet på google kommer mit site øverst. Hurra for min pagerank eller hvad det nu er der gør det!

I'm finally 100% back from a long vacation. A vacation that meant no PC, no mail, no Mozilla, etc. Wonderful!

I finished watching season 4 of 24. I can only say: See you in season 5. Season 4 had a bit too much action compared to the other seasons. But once again, what a day for Jack Bauer!

I've also had the time to do some reading. I finished the wonderful The Name of the Rose. I watched the movie many many years ago but never read the book. Now I have and it's a really good murder mystery set in a 14th century Italian monastery.

Since I, like many others, have read The Da Vinci Code I had to read Holy Blood, Holy Grail which is the book that Dan Brown based parts of the Da Vinci Code book on. Holy Blood, Holy Grail questions many things including if Christ really did on the cross. From start to finished its filled with question and skepticism to the Christian history.

I also had the time to go to Crete. The "At a Glance" at Lonely Planet best describes Crete: Steeped in Homeric history and culture, scented by wild fennel and basil, Crete welcomes and overwhelms visitors with its wealth of myths, legends and history, a blessed and dramatic landscape, an extraordinary fusion of past and present, and an abundance of choices and experiences.

Coming back from vacation also gave me some technical problems. First my ISP gave my IP address to another customer resulting in me not being able to connect to the Internet. Then my hard drive at work uttered three blips and blow up. I had that one replaced with a fast Seagate Barracuda SATA drive. So back to reinstalling all of my applications once again.

Of course we also spend some time in our sommerhus.

I've blogged about Harry Potter before and now it's time again. I just finished the fifth book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I have to say they are getting better and better. I'm not saying it's the best book I've read. Far from that, but considering who's the audience of the book, it's a good book.

<danish>
Jeg har også fået læst Nordkraft som er en roman er i 3 dele. I romanens første del, "Junkiehunde", møder vi pusherfrau Maria, kæreste til en af Vestbyens dealere. I anden del, "Broen", præsenteres vi for Allan, som er vendt tilbage til Aalborg efter en tur på søen og kæmper for endelig at slippe ud af miljøet. Den sidste del, "Begravelsen", er historien, der samler trådene, da den sammensatte gruppe af personer mødes til en begravelse.
Jeg vil sige at da jeg havde læst del to, havde jeg ligesom fået nok af dette miljø. Så efter sådan en sag, er det jo altid godt at suse gennem en Harry Potter bog.
</danish>

Just returned from a cool cool Simple Plan concert at Vega. This band really knows how to rock. Cool songs, high energy and good atmosphere. You can listen to some of their music here. And once again, I'd won the tickets!

Spend the last weekends reading some interesting stuff

A couple of years ago I read TakeDown which is described this way:
On Christmas Day 1995, a daring cybercriminal used a new, dangerous, and clever method to gain access to the home computer of the world's greatest computer security expert. The hero, as a matter of honor, set out to find the devious mastermind who violated his privacy and discovered that it was none other than cyberspace's Public Enemy Number One.

So now it was time to read some of the stories from the criminal himself. The first book I read, is actually the second one.
The Art of Intrusion : The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders & Deceivers
Now, in his new book, Mitnick goes one step further, offering hair-raising stories of real-life computer break-ins-and showing how the victims could have prevented them. Mitnick's reputation within the hacker community gave him unique credibility with the perpetrators of these crimes, who freely shared their stories with him-and whose exploits Mitnick now reveals in detail for the first time.
You can read a sample chapter from here. A exciting story about how Hacking the Casinos for a Million Bucks.

Then I read the first book:
The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security
In his bestselling The Art of Deception, Mitnick presented fictionalized case studies that illustrated how savvy computer crackers use "social engineering" to compromise even the most technically secure computer systems.
I didn't like this as much as the other. You can read the lost chapter one here.

When you're gonna spend money you might as well spend a lot of money. We did just that. Last Autumn we bought a summer cottage. We have already spend a lot of time they. Painting, relaxing, reading... And there's not telephone or PC there. Check out the pictures.

When you buy a summer cottage and you live in central Copenhagen you gotta have a car. So we also bought a car. A really nice Renault Megane. I've also got some pictures of that too. Notice the small Mozilla Firefox sticker on the rear window.

Attended the LinuxForum 2005 in Copenhagen this weekend. It's the 8'th time the LinuxForum is being held. The focus is Open Source and it's the biggest open source conference in Scandinavia.

I went there on friday and saw a lot of really good technical speeches. The main reason why I went was of course to hear Tristan Nitot. Tristan Nitot is the co-founder and President of Mozilla Europe, an international affiliate of Mozilla Foundation. Tristan spoke about Gutenberg and the guerrilleros

I also had the chance to meet and talk to Tristan.

Another cool talk was Jon Maddog Hall who spoke about The Promise of Free and Open Source Software. He had some really nice one liners.

Bare lige for at overbevise jer, læserne, om at der altså er en verden udenfor, kommer her en lille kultur update. Vi har været inde og se Guitaristerne på Mungo Park. Og det var fandme godt. Så er det sagt.
Visesangeren og tolvtonekunstneren John Hansen er død. Miljøet i og omkring ham er i chok, og fire dedikerede fans beslutter sig for at afholde en mindekoncert foran Johns legendariske hus på Gyvelvej nr. 3. Den store sangskat, som John Hansen efterlader, afspejler en kunstner og et liv fyldt af modsætninger, vrøvl og skuffelser. Det kan godt være svært at organisere en sådan koncert - så svært, at man næsten glemmer, hvem man mindes. Guitaristerne, Grete, Kim, Gregers og Hesselhud, gør deres bedste; spørgsmålet er bare, om det er godt nok?
Du har mulighed for at hente lidt musik fra stykket Hvor er min lighter? og Har fået nok

Har også fået set Købmanden i Venedig (The Merchant of Venice)
Bassanio er forelsket i Porthia, men mangler penge til et ordentlig kurmageri. Derfor går han og vennen Antonio til den jødiske lånehaj Shylock, der hader kristne. Aftalen bliver at pengene skal betales tilbage inden tre måneder. Kan de to venner ikke det skal de give Shylock et pund af deres eget kød. Alt går godt indtil Antionio kommer i pengenød.
Ganske ok film, men der var altså noget ting ved filmen der irreterer mig. Hvorfor skal den være så lang? De kunne nemt have kogt den en halv time ned. No problem. Desuden var der enkelte ting i selve historien jeg ikke helt forstod. Jeg har ikke læst original teksten, who has?, men hvorfor pokker skulle han bl.a. udsættes for denne her ring test?

Even though I spend way to much time doing Mozilla stuff I still take the time to get some cultural input.
Watched A Very Long Engagement yesterday. A really really good movie. A bit long 134min but it's worth every minute.
A Very Long Engagement tells the story of a a young woman, Mathilde's relentless search for her fiancee, who has disappeared from the trenches of the Somme during World War One


In the more weird and experimental department I watched The Return. It's a beautiful movie but I just didn't get it. Must be one of those movies that critics and interlectuals gotta like no matter what.
In the remote Russian wilderness, two brothers face a range of new, conflicting emotions when their father--a man they only know through a single photograph--resurfaces.


For the Danish readers:
Forleden så vi teaterstykket Camping på Kaleidoskop. Rigtigt godt stykke. Alene beskrivelsen er cool:
En campingplads grænser op til en kirkegård med rester af tyske flygtninge fra 40'erne Ingen kender til disse ar i den jyske hede, så Else og Werner folder forventningsfuldt deres campingplads ud til ferie. Mellem strygejern, TV og mikrobølgeovne fastholdes den lave komfort og de tynde vægge i forteltene. Ingen døre kan lukkes, alle kan høre hinanden hviske om natten i en polyfonisk symfoni af stemmer og lyde.


På en boglige front er jeg lige blevet færdig med I spidsen for Europa som beskriver hvordan og hvorledes de store aftaler bliver forhandlet. En utrolig god og let læselig bog:
Denne bog fortæller historien om de seks måneder med Danmark I spidsen for Europa. Ikke kun om udvidelsen, men også om de seje forhandlinger om Kaliningrad, krisen i forholdet til Rusland, amerikanernes tillid til danskerne, det skrøbelige håb om fred i Mellemøsten, Europas tvetydige forhold til Tyrkiet og meget mere.

I've blogged about Harry Potter before but this time it's something completely different:

Rowling has said that one of her characters will not survive her sixth book, but she refused to identify that character. Potter himself is safe, at least for now. Rowling has said her teenage hero will survive until the seventh and final book in the series, but has refused to say whether he will reach adulthood.

We went to see the container vessel Albert Mærsk, which docked at Langelinie for a presentation of the vessel. We didn't enter the ship since the line simply was way too long. Albert Mærsk is 352 meters long and 44 meters wide. See the pictures of the impressive vessel.

Albert Maersk is, with an overall length of 352 metres and a breadth of 43 metres, placed among the largest container vessels in the world. Albert Maersk is at the same time one of the most modern container vessels ever built thoroughly monitored by advanced computer systems, enabling a crew of only 15 to operate the ship and all the facilities.

I also bought myself a new tool. A Scalextric race circuit. The GT40 Sport set. More information here (in Danish) and here (in English). I've haven't had time to play with it yet though. The really cool thing about this set is that it includes the Race Management System. This include a special track that allows you to interface your PC with your Scalextric circuit. This enables you to time your laps on the race curcuit on your PC. This really rocks!

Jeg har to MC Fight Night billetter som jeg giver gratis væk, da jeg ikke har mulighed for at komme til arrangementet. Det er til lørdag 7 august kl 20 2004 i Store Vega.

Vil du ha' dem så kom med god joke. Send joken i en comment.

Var til et ganske spændende foredrag i går. Linux-baseret settop-boks hos SSLUG.
Kenneth Geisshirt og Tomas Krag vil fortælle om at lave en linux-baseret settop-boks med MythTV. Først vil de introducere settop-boks som koncept og diskutere MythTV. Bagefter vil MythTV blive demonstreret.

Beskrivelsen af MythTV fra deres site er:
MythTV is a homebrew PVR project that I've been working on in my spare time. It's been under heavy development for two years, and is now quite useable and featureful.

Tomas, som er en gammel kollega, havde lavet sin egen lille settop boks. Prisen var omkring de 5.000 kr. Den kørte så MythTV, som kan hentes til de fleste større Linux distributioner, og det så sgu fedt ud.

Basalt set er det en boks man sætter ind mellem tv antennen og sit TV. Settop boksen giver så adgang til en masse advancerede feature. Fx live TV hvor man kan pause en udsendelse og gå ud og lave kaffe om komme tilbage og se videre, uden at have mistet noget af udsendelsen. Du kan bruge en webbrowser til at programmere hvornår og hvad der skal optages. Der er fotoalbum, CD og DVD afspiller support. Samt vejr, RSS og MAME support. Og en masse mere.

Du kan se alle overheads her.

Went to see Troy yesterday. I knew that the movie wasn't gonna be great. But I was disappointed to see that the movie was soo bad. It was boring and way to long. Orlando Bloom was acting really really bad. Brad Pitt wasn't any better. He just wasn't convincing as a leader. It seemed like he was trying to look like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Eric Bana as Hector was good, though.

One of the "best" momets in the movie was when Paris handed over the sword of Troy to a totally random person in the crowd with the words "take good care of it, it's the sword of Troy"! What was that all about?

One star that's it. Worst movie of the year so far!

Attended a talk by Tony Wheeler from Lonely Planet this evening. Wow... talk about traveling the world. This guy has been all over.

The talk was about how Lonely Planet was started and pictures from some of his many many travels. Lonely Planet by the way should have been called Lovely Planet but because Tony heard the lyrics from a song wrong it became Lonely Planet. You can read more about it here.

There was a lot of questions afterwards and one of them was how many countries he has visited. He answered that he has visited 117 countries. Quite amazing considering that he's been traveling most of his life. But as he said: "the more you travel the larger the world gets". I've only visisted 28 so I still have some way to go.

World66.com lets you create a world map showing the countries you have visited. Here is my world map:

Visited 34 countries (15%). So I still have some traveling to do.

Jeg har lige gennemgået en lille knæoperation. For omkring 1½ år siden rev jeg mit forreste korsbånd over i en fodboldkamp. Det blev så fjernet ved en efterfølgende operation. Jeg gik til genoptræning og det gik faktisk ganske glimrende, hvis man lige ser bort fra et par gange hvor mit knæ hoppede ud af led.

For at undgå disse "ud af led" sitiuationer, besluttede jeg mig derfor for at få et nyt kunstigt korsbånd. Og det er så det jeg har fået forleden dag. Operationen tager omkring 1½ time. Jeg valgte at blive spinalbedøvet (dvs. rygmarvsbedøvet). Efter sådan en bedøvelse, begynder ens ben langsomt at sove og man kan efter ca 20 min overhovedet ikke mærke det. Man kan således følge med i operationen, via en lille TV monitor. Det føles lidt underligt, da man jo kan mærke at der bliver gået godt til ens ben, heldigvis uden nogen smerte. Og smerter ville der nok være, da der skal bores et par skruer op i ens knæ som skal holde det kunstige korsbånd.

Man er på hospitalet, i mit tilfælde Bispebjerg Hospital, omkring en dags tid alt i alt hvorefter man bliver udskrevet og kommer hjem med et par krykker og en don-joy. Derefter følger 3 måneder med genoptræning hos en fysioterapeut. Omkring 1 år efter operationen skulle knæet være tilbage på fuld styrke.

When you're on vacation there's suddenly time to read. And read I did!

I've started with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Everybody has been telling me that I gotta read Harry Potter. It should be soo amazing and once you started you just could put down the book.

That was not my expirience. The book was ok, but for smaller kids. Not for grownups. The story is weak and it's way to easy to read. The persons in the book lacks detailed description. Basiclly I just dont get the hype about this book.

Then I read The Runaway Jury. A classic John Grisham book. It's a little confusing since it's about an entire jury, so it's jumping between the different people. Whenever I finish books like this I'm always a bit disapointed. I'm missing something. They just dont move me and I dont get as much into the books as with other books. The funny part of this book is that it's about the tocacco industry and the movie that's based on the book is about the weapon industry. Not really sure why they changed the theme so radical? But I continued with yet another John Grisham book. This time The Testament which was really good. It's a bit different than the normal John Grisham book. I normally never reads John Grisham but these two books was the only thing around when I finished Harry Potter. The by far best book I read was the last one. Burning Shore by Wilbur Smith. A really good book about two daring men, an extraordinary woman and the continent of Africa.

I also got a couple of book for my birthday so I can continue to read. Got Firmaknuseren af Jussi Adler-Olsen, which is a danish novell about terrorisme against big companies. Looks really good. The other book I got was The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It spent 40 weeks on the bestseller lists.

I've been gone for quite some time now and the reason is simple. I've been traveling!

My wife and I has been backpacking the last 1½ month around in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. And it's been great! Absolutely great!

I'll write more about my traveling when I get some pictures/etc online. So stay tuned.

Things that I already miss:
- Great and cheap food
- The sun
- Travelling

Things that I didn't miss while traveling:
- The danish weather
- Getting up in the morning and going to work
- Reading news. Why read about war, violence, etc when you're on vacation?

So I justed wanted to say that I'm back online and will try to answer most of the massive amount of emails that I got.

BTW: It's my birthday today! I'm old..... 31

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Perhaps you could even make a donation to the Mozilla Foundation.

Jeg ønsker jer allesammen en glædelig jul og et godt nytår. Nu er det tid til afslapning, gaver og god mad.

Soon I'm gonna go to Mexico and Guatemala, so if there's any of you out there with great Mexico tips on what to see and what not to see let me know. Perhaps there's even some Mexican Mozilla people out there....:)

I weekenden var jeg til Herrefrokost 4.0. Formålet med frokosterne at samle nogle mennesker sammen til en eller anden form for aktivitet, derefter lidt at spise, for bagefter at blive "højkulturelle", det hele udfra et "for egen regnings princip".

Vi var hele dagen, kl 14 til kl 02, på Odd Fellow Palæet. Et helt perfekt sted at holde en herrefrokost. Der kom så en Personlig Stylist fra Magasin du Nord og skulle hjælpe os med at finde på gode julegaver til vores kærester/koner/elskerinder/etc. Ganske spændende!

Menuen vi fik var helt fantastisk. Der blev holdt bryllup neden i stueetagen så vi fik bryllupsmenuen.

Forret
Jordskokkecremesuppe lavet på musling bouillon med pighvar, jordskokkechips .og krydderurte creme.

Hovedret
Filet af dådyr ryg pakket med persille og spinat, serveret med skiver af helstegt kølle, hertil en vaniljestegt polenta, Provencalsktårn, glasseret skorzonerrødder og svampe samt en kraftig kalve glace med trøfler.

Dessert
Pære, pære, pære. serveret på 3 forskellige måder pæremazarin , pæresuppe og pæresorbet hertil en haselnøddetruilles og blomme/chilisirup.

I forgårs spiste vi på Govindas Restaurant som er en indisk vegetar restuarant. Jeg har boet et år i indien og har ikke faktisk ikke siden fået sådan rigtig standard basic indisk mad. Men mine minder blev vagt til live. Og ikke de gode. I dag står det mig lidt overraskende at jeg rent faktisk overlevede 1 år i Indien. Jeg er nu altså bare ikke til basic indisk mad. Indisk mad fra de større Indiske restuarenter i København er ganske glimrende og meget anderledes end det man får hos Govindas Restaurant. Desuden havde resuarenten fået to negative smileys i træk fra og en bøde på kr. 9.000,- ved den sidste kontrol, men det så vi først da vi gik ud. Vi er dog ikke blevet syge endnu.

Og så blev der shoppet til den store guldmedalje. Støvler til konen. Hvem kan stå for de blinkende øjne der siger "må jeg ikke godt få de støvler"? Jeg vidste godt at der i dette også lå at jeg skulle betale. Vi har en fælles konto hvor vi kører alle fælles ting (indkøb, etc) og vores egen konti til tøj, gejl, etc.
Derudover fik jeg endelig en ny vinterjakke. Fandt en i så mærkeligt et sted som Illums Bolighus. Fik også købt et par trøjer. Dog skal den ene lige leveres tilbage. Jeg tror det var et "moment of insanity" hvor jeg fik købt en fed Marlboro Classic trøje til kr. 1.700,-. Noget jeg normalt aldrig aldrig gør. Altså køber så dyr en trøje. Men det gør jeg så heller ikke, da den bliver sendt tilbage.

I firmaet, TDC, har vi også fået mulighed for at købe medarbejder aktier. Og det til en ganske favorabel kurs. Man kan max købe 90 aktier til kurs 100. Hvilket er ganske glimrende da kursen dd. er 210. Så jeg købte da 90.

Vi er næsten også færdige med vores bryllupsbog. Det er sådan noget man laver efter sit bryllup med diverse ting og billeder i. Således man kan belemre besøgende med "I skal da lige se noget fra brylluppet...". Nå, men det var faktisk meget sjovt at lave. Hvis du er interesseret, og det er du jo siden du har læst så langt, kan du jo checke bryllup.gemal.dk ud, hvor alle billeder etc ligger.

Vi er igang med at planlægge vores tur til Mexico og Guatemala. Vi skal rejse rundt i lidt over en måned. Så hvis du kender nogle derude så giv lyd fra dig. Er der nogle steder vi simpelthen skal tage til eller nogle steder vi ikke må tag hen så giv lyd fra dig.

Igen i år var vi med i Kulturnatten. Denne gang gik vi efter en bestemt bydel, nemlig Christianshavn. Vi startede dog i indre by hvor vi, som altid, så håndarbejdets fremmes seminarium, som igen i år var super cool. Dernæst videre til Skatteministeriet hvor man fik skattefrit slik og fadøl! De havde også et par narkohunde, men vi undgik at blive taget.

Ved den Den Nordatlantiske Brygge var der Magisk Kulturnat med en masse artiviteter bla polarnatten, rundvisning, hundeslæde etc.

Aftenens bedste event var helt klart besøget på Statens Teaterskole ude på holmen. De lavede små forestillinger, performances og happenings. Skide godt!

Vi var også på Institut for Samtidskunst hvilket desværre var aftenens absolut dårligste sted. Kedelige futuristiske billeder på væggen.

På vejen hjem cyklede vi lige fordi byggeriet af den nye opera. Derefter forbi Amaliehaven og igennem Amalienborg. Så er man sgu glad for at bo i København. Det et helt sikkert et af de smukkeste steder i København.

Saw Safri Duo in a VIP concert the day before their 3.0 album was relased. It was a small concert in Parkhus 11. A realy cool concert. These guys have soo much energy.
Earlier this week I saw Kaizers Orchestra in Vega. What a concert! These guys rock!
Yesterday we went and saw Ægte Jyder at Nørrebros Teater, again for free... You know, connections. It's a really good play. It's based on Marie Jones play "Stones in his Pockets".

Jeg har en billet i overskud til Kaizers Orchestra i morgen fredag 19 september i Vega kl 21.00.

Normal pris kr. 150,-
Du får den for kr. 100,-

Koncerten er udsolgt!

Today was my wife's lucky day! She was at a sneak release party at Café Ziggys in Copenhagen for the new Aretha Franklin CD "So damn happy". And there was a lottery draw and she and a friend of hers won airlines tickes to New York and tickets to go to the Aretha Franklin concert in Radio City Music Hall. And all of this on 9/11.
Anyways ... lucky her!

Denne weekend var jeg til kæmpe TDC fest i Århus. En stor del af havnen i Århus var blevet spærret af og omdannet til en mindre festival plads. Danmarks største firmalogo blev det også til. Vi var ca. 6.500 til festen!

Fadøl i lange baner, 400m fiskebuffet (ca 4½ tons fisk) samt en lejet færge (Mette Mols). Alt i alt helt kanon!

Mange kunstnere underholdte bla Jan Gintberg, Søs Fenger, Jimmi Jørgensen, Trine Dyrholm, Henning Stærk, Peter Belli, Marie Montell, Zididada, Søren Poppe, Peter Frödin, Sanne Salomonsen.

Søren Poppe havde skrevet en TDC sang. Hør en teaser.

Der var sørme også lavet et par Chris Og Telefonfabrikken:
- hør nr 1
- hør nr 2
- hør nr 3

- Se de officielle billeder.
- Flere billeder hos Mahler

Jeg løb DHL-Stafet i går. Gennemførte de 5 km på 22:30, hvilket er en ok tid. Jeg løb selvfølgeligt for TDC.

DHL-Stafetten er det store 5x5 km stafetløb i Fælledparken, med over 40.000 løbere, fordelt over tre dage. Deltagerne er en blanding af firmahold, sportsklubber, grupper og privatpersoner. Mange firmaer har gennem årene benyttet DHL-Stafetten som rammen om et hyggeligt og grønt firma-arrangement for ansatte og deres familie.

Jeg er lige blevet færdig med at læse Hjernehallen. En ganske glimrende dansk science fiction bog.
Når drømme bliver virkelige, hvad er så virkeligheden? Chris lever en triviel og ensom tilværelse, men holder sig i live på grund af sine drømme. En dag dukker en person op, som påstår, at drømmene er det virkelige, og at de begge er fanger i et gruopvækkende fængsel. Men hvor befinder de sig så, hvad er formålet med det hele?

Den er skrevet af Johan Springborg.

Du kan læse det første kapitel her og købe den online ganske billigt her og her.

This is the last post for some time since I'm getting married this weekend!

We're not going on the big honeymoon yet. We're waiting until January 2004 where we're going backpacking in Mexico and Guatemala for 1½ month.

Last weekend I got my new harddrive. A very very nice Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9.

Specs:
- 160GB (Enough to build Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla Thunderbird)
- 7200 RPM
- Fluid dynamic bearing motors (super low noise)
- 8MB buffer
- 9ms seek
- More...

Bought it online here in Denmark at PC Focus. The price you ask... only DKK 1.270,00 ($190,-) incl tax and delivery.

Så er jeg lige blevet tappet. Hvis du ikke allerede er bloddoner så er det bare se at komme igen.

Og undskyldningen med at "min blodtype er den mest almindelige så de behøver nok ikke mere" holder jo ikke da den mest almindelige blodtype også er den som de behøver mest blod af.

Saw Dogville last night. It's written and directed by Lars von Trier. Dogville is shot on a stage set with no actual buildings. Dogville is essentially a schematic diagram drawn on an extended stage and defined with an absolute minimum of set pieces. So no expessive sets or CGIs.

The beautiful fugitive, Grace (Nicole Kidman), arrives in the isolated township of Dogville on the run from a team of gangsters. With some encouragement from Tom (Paul Bettany), the self-appointed town spokesman, the little community agrees to hide her and in return, Grace agrees to work for them. However, when a search sets in, the people of Dogville demand a better deal in exchange for the risk of harbouring poor Grace and she learns the hard way that in this town, goodness is relative. But Grace has a secret and it is a dangerous one. Dogville may regret it ever began to bare its teeth...

Be sure the visit the Dogville Official website.

Denne her er sgu skæg! Fik lige en mail som åbenlyst er sendt til den forkerte adresse. Men det var en mail med en salgsopstilling på, hold nu fast, en ståltrawler med fuldt shelterdæk.

Det er Mæglerfirmaet N. B. Ferdinandsen & sønner som åbenbart mente at jeg skulle se et godt tilbud.

Det var sendt til en af mine mailadresse på @mail.dk domænet.

Nåå... men hvis der er nogle som er interesserede i sådan en krabat kan de se ham her.
Pris med delvis tonnage kr. 4,2 mill. uden tonnage/fiskeritilladelse kr. 2,1 mill.

Mit firma skal godt nok flytte fra Titangade til Teglholmen så måske skulle jeg slå til. Så kunne jeg sejle fra Østerbro til Teglholmen hver morgen. Supercool!

I weekenden holdt vores loge Stoffers Riddere arrangement. Og hvilket et!

Orienteringsløb/skattejagt i Dragørområdet kombineret med sandslotbygning, tidstælling, krabbefodbold, brunch osv. Kanon arrangement!

Om aftenen endte vi på Kellerdirk hvor
Madonna Jam spillede.

Billedet er taget med min Nokia 7650.

Der kommer flere billeder fra loge arrangementet snarest muligt på stoffersriddere.dk.

I fredags så vi Gagarin Way af Gregory Burke på CaféTeatret. Et utroligt godt og fascinerende teater stykke. 4 generationer af mænd med hver deres måde at opfatte samfundet på. Det er skide godt. Lige som alle de andre stykker vi har set på CaféTeatret. Et helt klart anbefalelsesværdigt teater.

Bagefter spillede Peter Laugesen & Singvogel. En spacy blanding af alle mulige musiktyper kombineret med lyrik. Fed oplevelse!

Lørdag morgen var vi så til brunch på biblioteket i Den Sorte Diamant. Her var det forfatteren Birgit Erup, der snakkede om hvad det vil sige at være midaldrende. Vi var nok ikke lige målgruppen og i hvert tilfald de yngst i forsamlingen, men brunchen var dejlig og så var det faktisk et ganske sjovt foredrag.

Dernæst videre på lidt shopping i indre København og videre til kunstudstilling på Statens Museum for Kunst hvor vi så udstillingen Impressionismen og Norden. Det var gennem en kunstklub hvor vi først fik en foredrag. Man får meget mere ud af en udstilling hvis man enten tager en guided rundvisning eller får noget information omkring kunsten, tiden, etc.

Efter det spiste vi på Barstarten på Nørrebro. Og for det ikke skal være løgn så endte vi med at gå i Empire og se The Hours.

Hermed lidt billeder taget med min Nokia 7650 mobiltelefon:

Edderkop på Nytorv
