Musings: People want crappy looking pictures by default

December 23, 2008

An old advice given to us in the ancient 90's was that you should never resize images in the browser, as this would be waste of bandwidth. In their infinite wisdom, Microsoft decided to punish the infidels by making browser resized images look like crap.

Turns out this can be fixed by a single line of CSS, as told by that Joel guy: From the Department of Badly Chosen Defaults.

Musings: Always Sausage Together

Magnetic poetry can be fun. Sometimes you don't even have to break the sheets of words apart to get results. This is an unbroken sheet straight from the pack. Very poetic.

Musings: Unity on youTube

January 23, 2007

Well that is the first time a product I have worked on shows up in a random video on youTube.

In case you are wondering what product that is, it is the one called Unity which is running on the iMac on the left. Unity is a great 3D game IDE for Mac OS X, created by my friends at OTEE, for whom I work occasionally.

Musings: A couple of nerd quotes

October 31, 2006
Setting the read bit does not necessarily make your code readable
Jonas jonasbn Nielsen
If you build it, they might come. If you have a nice website they might stay. If you offer a free service, they might use it. If you've gotten this far without thinking about where the cash comes from , you're in trouble.

Musings: Lars has a weblog!!

September 27, 2006

He got his first mobile phone in 2005.... and now he has created a weblog!

My friend Lars Bruun, aka. Zlatan Satan, is catching up with technological trends. Now with profiles on Orkut, Myspace, MyMusic and finally a blog

There isn't much on it yet, but be patient — something is bound to turn up.

Update 2006-02-01: Yup! He's on YouTube now as well


Musings: Enabled comments (again!)

September 20, 2006

My last feeble attempt on stopping spam didn't really work, so in lack of ant time to do something about it, comments got disabled again.

Then I decided to outsource the problem. I have changed the comment system to use Haloscan -- an easy to use comment service. I have also migrated some of the old comments from the built-in MT comment system, but stopped at comments posted in late 2004.

Thanks to David and Nicholas for leading me in the right direction.

Code: ISO Week numbers

November 09, 2005

Corporate Denmark is obsessed with ISO Week numbers. A lot of events are scheduled by week numbers. For this reason all calendars published in Denmark contain this week number. Too bad iCal doesn't

Luckily for you I've hacked together a script that generates week numbers for this year and the next. If you're sitting on a mac, you can just click on this link to add week numbers to your calendar.

The week numbers shop up as week-long events. I suggest that you select a bright non-saturated colour, so it doesn't take focus from your real events. You are welcome to let iCal auto-refresh, but just set it really low, as the calendar will not change until new year's eve.
