Thor Erik's Blog

Geocaching is fun! and so is training I figured.

Friday I decided to go training some, I wound up doing 14 KM in high gear, then I picked up a geocache I couldn’t reach earlier.

There I bumped into Lydia, a geocacher that is local(oh and her friend)

Later that night I went to a party at Philipp’s place, it was a lot of fun, and a lot of people there. Even got to practice my German all night

work have been like usual, little to do.

I also cleaned up my database for the blog a bit, it passed over 34 MB of data, now it’s a lot less(about 2 1/2 MB) so hopefully it responds a lot better now

Today it passed over 25°C outside! It was sooo nice to just sit outside and relax in the sun

ps. if you wonder why I changed the design it was because the old design actually fucked up viewing posts(and commenting on them), which is very bad.

The Hunt for Red October by Kevin Labianco

I finally got an invite to Voddler I’d compare it with Spotify for videos.

I’ve only watched one film so far, but I love it, you don’t get access to all videos for free, but many, which is great.

I watched The Hunt for Red October which is fabulous, the quality seemed to be roughly dvd quality, which is good, only thing I got against voddler is that it displays ads for 5 minutes first, but I guess I should be happy it’s not 5 min first then 5 min in the middle

Moved the website over from the temp backup place to the new place!

now the moving isn’t all done though, in a few weeks, I hope to move it to my own server rack  which is going to be expanded just before the move, and the site will be on a dedicated virtualized(single vm with all resources to itself) machine with these specs: 2.4 ghz quad core xeon, 4 GB ram, 1 TB disk and Windows 2008

other than that, this will be the new design for the next at least few months.

I’ve also taken on the job to be co-host for a new podcast which will launch soon(i’ll post more on that when it’s all settled )

other than that, thorerik.com is out in open beta, so now you can see the result of all the hard work i’ve laid down, and you can follow the progress, next up is adding youtube and later flickr
