I got myself a nice little Samsung N210 netbook the other day.
With it came a subscription to “Telenor Mobile Broadband”.
I also got Windows 7 pre-installed, of course – which I didn’t want, of course.
OK. Time for some thoughts about Facebook…
I’ve been getting a lot of invitations, like “We refuse to pay for Facebook – We are gone if this happens” and “I will not pay for facebook from july 2010″ lately, and I’ve got something to say about you guys who joins these groups (and keep inviting me)…
Yes you will. You fucking will!
I checked out three different statistics for my blog today, and I have to say I’m both concerned, or a bit upset if you will, and also intrigued by what I found.
Turns out that I have almost a 50/50 split between Microsoft Windows users and Mac OS X users among my visitors.
46.5% of my visitors are on some kind of Windows-based system. 46.4% of you are Mac-users.
This post is kind of a follow-up on my review of the Popcorn Hour A-110, and will cover installation of YAMJ – Yet Another Movie Jukebox, and the fabulous ÆON Movie Wall Skin together with some nice mods. The guide is intended for Mac OS X users, and the reason I’m writing it is because I had a hard time installing YAMJ myself, since all good guides out there seem to be written for Windows users. All the Mac guides I found were poorly written, lacking explanations, jumping over steps and stuff like that (No offence, writers!). When I got the shit working, I came to the conclusion that if the guide(s) I was following had been good, I could have done it in twenty minutes or so, instead of spending hours.
Here’s my review of a nice little box i picked up, called the Popcorn Hour A-110.
The PCH A-110 is a so-called Networked Media Tank, or NMT.
It’s a small 300 MHz Linux-based computer equipped with a Sigma SMP8635 chipset, 256MB of DDR SDRAM and 32MB of Flash memory.
The PCH A-110 enables you to play movies and music, and also watch pictures stored on any disk or machine in your local network on your TV or HiFi system. The box support a long list of media types, both audio files and video files (up to 1080p). Check the official PCH site for a full list of supported formats and specs.
I got myself a new computer yesterday!
OK, fair enough – it’s not brand new.
It’s an iMac G3 with a 400 MHz processor, a so-called “Blueberry”. It was released in late 1999, and I remember thinking “Holy shit! That’s a sexy motherfucker!” when it came out. It’s got a 10 GB hdd, 64 MB of memory, a slot-in CD-Rom, “Fast Ethernet”, FireWire and USB.
I just have to share this with you. If you’re into design, like me, and especially typography, like me, I’d like to take you to a nice little site called LBOI – Little Box Of Ideas. It’s a design blog I visit from time to time.
I just spent some time catching up on some posts there, and came over this brilliant article/showcase featuring 54 (in my opinion) EXCELLENT examples of “Wordplay Logos” – you know, logos where the name/word illustrate itself.
Well well, it’s starting to shape now, this blog of mine.
I’ve managed to adopt the Fjords-theme from Peter Andrej and I think it’s on its way to look ok.
I’ve thrown inmy Twitter-feed, as you can see, and also a RSS feed from Spotify, so you guys can make sure I don’t listen to crappy music and stuff, hehe. Read the rest of this entry »
I got a request from a mate the other day (Haje, from Photocritic.org).
He was planning on getting his “Blackbook” (black MacBook) engraved with some graphics, and asked me to make something for him. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m gonna share a story with you guys, and it goes a little somethin’ like this:
I am, as some of you might know already, a fan of the Apple brand of computers.
I bought a 1st. generation MacBook Pro as soon as they became available, and I’ve been happy with it despite some problems – like S!C temperatures, whining noises and stuff.
However… Read the rest of this entry »
