Damn, this SKUM fea­ture (in Dan­ish) is bal­anc­ing on the edge… Good fun, though — so is the Guantanamo-gotchi and oh, the Nik & Jay $ell-out con­struc­tion set is kind of funny too. Try to cen­sor that, Quasi :)

Received a mail from Peter of the bril­liant Rip­tari Fil­ter, ask­ing me to test his Geo::Sketch MT plu­gin. It’s an excel­lent plu­gin facil­i­tat­ing geo­graphic ani­ma­tion in blog posts and though still in an alpha test­ing state, it’s not that hard to set up. I tried it out on the IIS host­ing pollas.dk and beside my own stu­pid mis­takes (RTFM) it all went well. Now I just need to talk to my host­ing provider about some PNG issues, then I’ll be post­ing away using nifty lit­tle geo animations.

I attended Myg­dal’s open­space gath­er­ing (which is an excel­lent way of orga­niz­ing meet­ings!) and beside some really inter­est­ing dis­cus­sions on how we facil­i­tate the energy, work together, share thoughts and ideas while find­ing joy in our envi­ron­ment of work, relax­ing, social­iz­ing (it’s about the buzz, baby — not the hype) — the meetup included meet­ing some really nice peo­ple. Unfor­tu­nately I hadn’t got the time to stay and find out who was who, but what do ya know, mblog comes to the res­cue. It turns out I’ve been read­ing some of these people’s blogs for quite some time and this blog even appears on one of the blogrolls. What my point is? Well, when offered the chance, one (read: I) should really go for some good, old-fashioned human-to-human inter­ac­tion. Every­thing else is just plain silly…

Meet­ing some peo­ple today con­firmed my sus­pi­cion, that the few peo­ple actu­ally read­ing this weblog, pre­fer — just like myself — to read it through their favorite aggre­ga­tor, so I finally got my act together and full posts are now served in my xml. Recently I’ve dis­cov­ered quite a few really inter­est­ing blogs, but I find myself for­get­ting to check in on them and as I’ve pre­vi­ously stated, blogs not serv­ing xml feeds don’t make it to my blogroll which is a shame as I think the blogroll is a vital part of any weblog (well, this one hasn’t got that many read­ers, but the­o­ret­i­cally, any­way). My ear­lier attempt to launch a “Feed me” cam­paign try­ing to con­vince non-feeders to pro­vide this won­der­ful fea­ture, some­how drowned in a heavy work­load. I’ll try to do some­thing about it soon — any ideas on this are very wel­come! How about you — did you read this through an aggre­ga­tor or did you actu­ally enter the site? Leave a com­ment, thanks.

Uh, looks like I just missed the launch of Homebrew’s new site. Look­ing nice and fresh! Appa­rantly good things are going to hap­pen in the time to come…yum yum.

I just hijacked my com­pany web­site.

curi­ousLee has found some apps to keep track of day and night and the time around the world. Now I know if it’s still dark in Cow­boy World.

After 1991 you just instinctly know what just hap­pened when you see those green CNN shots, don’t you…

Ear­lier tonight, I sub­scribed to this ser­vice from Dan­ish national tele­vi­sion to get updated on the war. BBC (Radio1 actu­ally :) beat them to it, though — 5 min­utes ago I received an sms announc­ing Bush’s speech — which took place half an hour ago…

Well, it’s on… Not exactly a sur­prise, but still sad. Thoughts go out to peo­ple in and around Iraq…

M.O.A.B., sir? No, thanks, I’ll have the F.O.A.F. And I don’t want Free­dom Fries to go with that…
