Equation bookshelf
1 comment 23rd of April, 2008 Håvard Side note
I’m so going to make me one of these during my vacation!

‘Equation Bookshelf’ is a simple idea of to divide things in priority order… put together the books that you need immediately or more important between (parentheses)! Set others between [square brackets] and{braces}.

Just for the fun of it, I’ll by trying out Google AdSense on the site for a limited period of time. If it’s a success I’ll keep it there, if it’s just a hassle and nothing good comes out of it - it’ll be gone like the wind in no time!
In the beginning it’ll be located on the left hand side of the site, just below the search-field. If anyone has any thoughts about how it works or if it doesn’t work at all - just let me know.

Helvetica, the film

I just pre-ordered Deluxe Limited Edition DVD of the movie about the typeface Helvetica. It will only be made a thousand copies of this limited edition, and it includes a lot of fancy stuff as well.

If you like typography and graphic design, have a look at The Helvetica Film and maybe pre-order a copy of your own.
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture.

8 weeks worth of spam is approximately 7795 comments, that’s close to 140 spam comments per day. Chances are that I’ll have to moderate them one by one, as the “Awaiting Moderation”-page times out when trying to bulk moderate the comments. Jolly…

While the support people over at (mt) Media Temple are busy pasting their favourite phrases, some have had enough. However, I’m sure (mt) Media Temple “sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience”…

After updating all my local development installations of WordPress by hand, using wget and whatnot, I figured the time was right to start using subversion instead. And what a treat! Just a simple

Weather 101

There’s no need to buy expensive weather services from overpriced scientists that are just making educated guesses and assumptions about the weather any more. Gary’s weather forecasting stone solves all your weather issues at the cost of a stone, a string and a printout of the following:
Google IG with “Compose Mail”
0 comments 24th of March, 2007 Håvard WWW/Google Side note
A tiny improvement to Google IG, with huge impact on its usability — they’ve added a “Compose Mail” in the GMail-interface. I’m just a bit surprised that they haven’t done this a long time ago.
