Here we go again...
I’ve always been a big dude, even when I was younger and did competitive swimming I was still ‘fat’. I’ve tried most of the types of diets out there. Be it weightwatchers, atkins, itrim among others. Some more successful than others.
Now I’ve actually found something that might be possible to use for an extended time and that seems to be working, for other at least....

Tiresome statistics
I can get very, very ‘tired’ from time to time. Especially when I’m told that “hey, our ranking on ‘arbitrary rankingsite’ is declining”. I answer: so? does anyone take notice of that site? Yes, they claim.
So I look into how this ranking is done. The quick answer? The bulk of the ranking is done using the toolbar that people have to install. Well.....

Spotify can never be profitable? →
Michael Robertsson thinks that Spotify never can be profitable like iTunes. Interesting read, but it is by default, speculative.

Waiting
For some reason I always keep hearing Flash and the Pans - Waiting for a train when I get into ‘waiting for something’ mode.
Currently waiting for what you ask?
We had a client conference today and I’m just waiting for the verdict on our offer. Since it’s been a rather long road getting to this point it would be nice if we could get the order. Even though it would mean...

kloningspoon:
This is a basic setup that should work without any glitch. Feel free to improve the script on the FFMPEG parameters like changing the bitrates, output size, etc… For now, FFMPEG seems to only be able to support YUV webcam, RGB does not seems to work for now. On my laptop, I was able to broadcast at 10 fps, maybe recompiling FFMPEG could improve that… Surely it will work with...

Birthdaycruise...
Me and my wife likes to cruise the baltic sea and this afternoon we leave for Helsinki. Since we go quite often we’ve managed to get a “free” cruise with one of the best cabins they have. Commodore class is high up, with quite a luxurious way of travelling. You even get ‘Commodore Lounge’ where you can escape the rest of the travellers and just sit down, look forward...
Smush.it™ - Yahoo! Developer Network →
kloningspoon:
Smush.it uses optimization techniques specific to image format to remove unnecessary bytes from image files. It is a “lossless” tool, which means it optimizes the images without changing their look or visual quality.
I use smush.it in most of my wordpress-sites I make.. better to “flush” the crap out of the images on the way into the system. :)

Allergytest after 30 something years
Ouchie. Have to get down to the car and drive to the hospital and take allergytest for the first time in 30 years. Have to? Well.. suffice to say, I’d like to know what gives me ‘nettle rash’ and stuff so I can avoid them. But I’m not looking forward to it. Wish me luck and talk to you later!

Slow day
Todays been a totally relaxed day. I haven’t left the sofa. But it’s partly because I’m starting to feel a cold coming on. But s been on and off for about two weeks. So hopefully able to hit the office tomorrow. The closest thing I could describe me with right now, in swedish, is paltkoma. (translated its: post-lunch-dip I think). So now I’ll leave you to your own and...

Basically it’s Markus Aujalays recipe but we choose to not put in any beans in the mix. Usually comes out perrrrfect. So hopefully it does today too..

Harakiri
Yep. Feels like that’s what tomorrows going to feel like after a bodypump gymclass tonight. Can probably survive it but I’ll have muscle-ache in muscles I didn’t know I had tomorrow. That paired with early morning since I’m heading to London for an over the day visit to a partner. Meetings. No fun :). Hectic 24 hrs coming up. Flight leaves at 7ish and we get back 23ish....

Desecration of my Mac
Yep. I’m in the process of desecrating my MacBook. How? Bootcamping in windows since vmware still can’t get a vsphere-client out for Mac OS X. There is one for iPad - how hard can it be to port it to Mac? Seriously.
There done, desecration is complete, now I can boot friggin windows on my friggin Mac and I hate it - as per usual, it will be there but more or less never be booted into windows. At...

Ljuset i slutet på tunneln
Den skymtar nu, ljuset i slutet på tunneln. 5 pulvermåltider kvar. Inga fler rapporter förrän fredag morgon när vi är klara - har ju redan passerat målet med dieten så allt utöver är extra bonus. I eftermiddag tog jag sista hålet i bältet (2 hål mindre än för snart 3 veckor sedan). Nöjd, ja, mer nöjd på fredag morgon. Nu 1 timmes spinning med instruktören som blir mer drivande ju svettigare man...

Den ena låten är sämre än den andra. Den jag tycker borde vinna kommer troligen inte att göra det. Nej, det är inte The Moniker. Ska höra alla innan jag fattar något slutgiltigt beslut dock..

Wordpressutveckling
Mitt senaste wordpressprojekt har så sakteliga rullat igång. De som känner mig vet att jag inte tar på mig så mycket sånt här om det inte innefattar att någon annan driftar det - eller de går via jobbet med alla de kostnaderna. Varför? Har ingen lust att ha livstids garanti på saker - vilket det ofta blir när man gör saker åt vänner. Oh… inte lite grinig idag va? Det är inte poängen jag...
