Yay, Finally back and kicking, this time it was my host that got the server fried, and then rounding up with a big chunk of DNS issues.

But let’s look on the bright side, I got it up before my birthday 11th December

Also spending a lot of time programming a robot i’ve been making for over a year now, and it looks like i’m getting it to work some time just after christmas, I’ll post a few pics tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, depending on when i get time for it

I like the new youtube feature set, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 720p video, it is all just beutiful

Yea things have been going slightly slower than usual, the last pc in the randpc project was shipped last night.

This marks the end of the RandPC project, which turned to give a lot of good knowledge.

Aside from that I’m following the election, and hoping for Barac.

lots of things to keep an eye out for, specially on twitter and CNN.

So i stumbled across this new thing called “Viewzi”, a “search engine” that uses google, Live, Yahoo, ask and a bunch of other ways to find out whats the most important and correct hit.

It’s probably the most flexible search engine around, as it uses the powers of each search engine, and found a good way to find the correct hit. If you got time, check it out

Viewzi

Oh and check out the new sites i added to the blogroll

specially “I want to smack Steve jobs in the face”

I had this idea here, what if as MANY of you who would buy a song, not download nor buy the song for a litle while?

let’s say til new year or something.

this would create a serious dent in the sales for the record companies AND it would also drop a lot on the piracy stats, maybe then the record companies would get the picture that we hate DRM?

Twitt me(@thorerik) or comment here with thoughts

How it used to look like

No worries though, they are going to rebuild it So today they took of the lounge on the top, will be fun to keep an eye on how it develops now.

I came over this at a norwegian tech site NRK Beta(link norwegian)

Interesting idea, but still needs some work to sync things like pre-fetchin of the videos, as it really need to be run at least once before you get the parts synced, but when that happends, it’s cool

SuperHD youtube

yay, came over this song not long ago when i was listening to the ska channel on last.fm

I remember i liked it a lot, and i still like it alot
