I just discovered this fine article series on CSS positioning via del.icio.us. It should be a good read for everyone interested in the subject, from total CSS newbies to people that has a great understanding of CSS already.
Found this in my loundry the other day. I have no idea how it got there
MySQL query browser and MySQL Administrator for Mac OS X are pieces of crap software! They crashes all the time. I should probably rather use the time required to get completely confortable with altering tables in MySQL CLI than wasting my time trying to do it through this piece of crap.
I just lost 30 minutes of work beacause of this. -And no, I couldn’t have saved my work to avoid this.
GAH!
But I have my tickets 
They have added another concert in london 18. may, due to demand.
Okay… I give up.. now that pretty much every tech blogger in my google reader have done this, I’ve decided to do it too…

Before I turn 30? … yeah, yeah…. the timespan isn’t that important (the order is random)

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 this week. Among the new features are a beta of the coming release of Firefox. It seems like some fine peace of software, but it continues the ever-growing wasting of screen realestate. I bought a new laptop a few weeks ago, and I wanted a small and portable one. In order to get that, I had to go down to a screen resolution of 1024×768. I was a bit afraid that this would be too little, but it has turned out fine. But it irritates me that some developer seems to think that it is no problem at all to use up a large portion of the screen for toolbars.
When I started using phoenix (the name of firefox at that time), one of its selling points was that it left so much of the screen for webpages, and didn’t waste much space at all. With every new (standard) theme it seems like it eats more and more of the screen.
And, since this is a beta none of my beloved “screen realestate cheap”-themes are out for it yet.
F11 and out.
Yesterday evening when we where going home after visiting a friend and collegue of mine, we passed by some rubbish bins outside an apartment complex. On the top of these bins there were lying a huge mirror. About 2meters 20cm by 40cm or something. There was, as far as what we could see nothing wrong with it at all, so we took it. I’ve wanted to buy a big mirror for a long time, but mirrors are very expensive. (Thats why it means seven years of bad luck if you break one or throw one away).
But, I cant help but wonder why people would throw away such an expensive piece of furniture.
I guess the best explaination is that someone moved away from one of the apartments without taking the furniture with them, and then the landlord throw away their stuff.
PS: It is not our intention to steal it, so if someone claims it we will give it back.
I’ve been a subscriber of Python Magazine since January, and I’ve bought every issue there are on PDF. It is a great magazine, and I would recommend it to every pythonista out there. No, strike that, make that every programmer out there. Because we want them all to be bitten by the snake don’t we?
When people have asked me if there was anything I would complain about with the magazine, I’ve had to answer “That it takes so long time before the paper copy reaches me, that I’ve already read it all on PDF before”.
That’s not completely true. Because I like reading on paper, and waits patiently for the paper copy to fall into my mailbox.
And now It’s also completely false, because the march issue arrived today, about 15 days after it was published online, and about a week after the february issue.
So, great work guys! And the article lineup is really cool. I can’t wait to poke around with the flickr and Google Calendar API’s.
I’ve also started playing with the idea that I might write an article for them some day.
This is maybe the only april fool I saw yesterday I thought where a bit funny.
