Jordan

We went to Jordan and Israel with Star Tour (a part of Kuoni) this winter/spring. In Jordan we went on a round-trip from Aqaba in the south to Amman, the Capital, in the North.

Roaming todo-lists

I’ve been exploring todo lists for a while, but so far not found the ideal solution. I did however get a mighty step closer after Schack told me about a firefox plugin called Quickfox Notes.

Build-in time bombs

I’ve been refactoring and refactoring some old code, and it’s kind of odd what short-cuts (or even time bombs), you’ll find in code, which apparently wasn’t supposed to live on for years.

Salvaging a deleted message from Thunderbird

Suppose you got an important mail, but by accident deleted the message – and to make matters worse, you also decided that emptying the mailbox was a pretty neat idea. Is then time to Panic? Well it might, but there is a chance you might be able to undelete the message – and quite easily [...]

Hubertusjagt

De seneste par år har det været fast tradition, at tage i dyrehaven og se Hubertus jagten (wikipedia). I 2009 lå den første November, og selvom det var noget koldt og blæsende, så var det alligevel hyggeligt. Her er et par billeder fra dagen.

Ubuntu: Printing to PDF

Every so often I’d like to save something as a PDF for future reference. Most often it’s webpages (for my own use), but also other things like documents, spreadsheets and other stuff for distribution in a format which – most likely – is readable by anyone.
