64 bit Flashplayer

Skrim — 2008-11-19 21:19 CET

At long last there is a 64 bit flashplayer plugin. For now, in its early alpha state, it's only available for Linux but future Mac and Windows versions are promised. The download is available from Adobe Labs.

1,2,3-Meme

Skrim — 2008-05-18 15:43 CET

Once again I'm lured into the quagmire world of memes by Kyrre. For someone who doesn't do memes, this blog is headed down the road of "nothing but" .

Just one word

Skrim — 2008-01-06 02:33 CET

Happy new year and all that. I don't usually do memes, but when Kyrre asks something of me, and he sort of did, I tend to do it. I tend to be nice like that.

The meme is to be answered with one word and I'll be kind enough to translate it, as English appears to be the language I use here.

Blue Men and Global Warming

When all else fails, turn to the Blue Men: The video specifically calls to America but methinks the rest of the world might want to listen in ..

A new year

Skrim — 2007-01-04 06:34 CET

And so we're once again at the start of a whole new year. Hurra! So far it looks pretty much like the last one but that's probably due to the warm weather. It's not supposed to be 7 degrees Celcius in January.

So far it appears 2007 will keep me rather busy, with three projects already under way, and a couple more on the horizon.

Katapult

Skrim — 2006-12-10 04:10 CET

A while back Amarok suddenly stored URLs in a different way than before. This opened the door for dynamic collections in Amarok but it also all but killed Katapult, the friendly KDE application launcher. Well, it didn't kill but Katapult couldn't launch songs in Amarok anymore. To be able to hit alt + space and start typing the title of a song before hitting return when Katapult finds it should be a developer's right. Or something like that anyway ...

Picture and Photo

Skrim — 2006-11-19 09:14 CET

Picture and Photo is foreign for Bilde og Foto, which just happens to be the name of a site I've become involved in making. The site is in Norwegian and was conceived and founded by Kyrre.

A new family member

Today, or rather yesterday, we got a new cat. She picked us at a center for animal relocation.

Photographs and a bugfix

Skrim — 2006-07-22 06:53 CET

I've uploaded a few new photos to the photo section, and more are on the way. Their order is somewhat jumbled though, as I'm still stumbling across older photos.

Satyricon at Rockefeller

Skrim — 2006-05-16 04:26 CET

The way this is heading, this blog will belong to my nephew before long, for it seems he is mentioned in more and more of the still few entries here. So, what did he do this time? He got tickets for the Satyricon concert at Rockefeller last Saturday (13th of May)! Neither him nor I were aware of this concert until he, through some chance of fate, got his hands on the tickets an hour or so before the venue opened it's doors.

Comments disabled

I've disabled all comments due to comment spam. Not in itself a big problem I suppose, given that I hardly ever find the time to write anything here, nor do I get a lot of comments.

Update to Opera Widgets

Skrim — 2006-05-07 14:43 CET

I wrote earlier that I couldn't get Widgets to work in Opera 9 Beta on my 64bit Kubuntu Dapper Drake box. There is a solution, and the solution is great! Not only did it make Opera Widgets work for me, it also removed the annoying background fading when they were employed. Starting Opera with the following command will remove the fade effect and, at least for me, make the widgets work:

opera -overlay no

Black Box revisited

Skrim — 2006-04-21 15:09 CET

Since my last post about Black Box, nVidia has released a new driver. Hurra! This of course did lead to a bit of trouble with the previous, non-nVidia driver but with a lot of help from Yrjan when the computer froze on this end, it all worked out in the end.
