For those of you heading to the United States of America, I strongly suggest that you pray to the glorious gods in heaven that the heathens don’t infect you with their indecent thoughts. There are disturbing/indecent things occurring in that part of the world and you are at serious risk of receiving a blow job […]
The USA government is attempting to bypass the fundamental security system of the internet. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57595202-38/feds-put-heat-on-web-firms-for-master-encryption-keys/ This is quite frightening as it gives them access to pretty much everything, including things which are encrypted whilst in transit

Random fact for the day. I was the first person to ever synthesise the drug used in this product back in 2003 … http://www.mitoq.com/ Admittedly I only changed the bromide anion to the methanesulfonate used in the final product, but still cool none the less 🙂 We were originally trying to create treatments for neurological disorders, […]
My old university is listed as one of the most beautiful in the world … http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/11/worlds-most-beautiful-universities_n_3578402.html
This is how I plan to be during my senile years. Hopefully this blog still exists then for me to look back on and laugh 🙂 In fact, I hope my brain is still in tact so that I can look back on this and laugh 🙂
The Norwegians decided to close down their biggest tourist attraction so that they could put in some new drains. I no longer find this sort of thing odd ..
Excellent day to leave Oslo 🙂 Photo taken at Rygge airport enroute to Duisburg, Deutschland.
This looks shady. Is the Guardian being censored now? Update: Conveniently, someone has paste binned it 🙂 Update 2: It looks like Wayne Madsen, the source in the article has some interesting views on various things. I assume they’ve pulled the article due to him not being considered a reliable source.
I plan to do the Oslo marathon in September. I tend to only exercise once per month, usually by running somewhere between 15 and 20 km. Yesterday I decided to cycle 50 km instead. Then today I felt that wasn’t enough so I decided to do a short 6 km run as well. But then […]
I occasionally receive questions from folks wanting to know how to secure their Facebook accounts due to them being being compromised. I am no expert on such matters, but here’s what I do (which seems to have worked so far) … Password Make sure you have a kick butt password. 12 characters with a mixture […]
I’m waiting in München before heading to Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania. The Germans certainly do know a thing or two about good beer.
Remember. The most scary thing about a hacker is their smell … http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html
A crude story for Norwegian class. This hasn’t been proof read and is definitely riddled with errors. No need to correct as we’ll be reviewing this in class 🙂 Vi har ny loven i New Zealand. Vi hadde “Civil Union” før nå. De laget loven for “Civil Union” i 2004. Personer i “Civil Union” ha […]
A casual afternoon run with Karl turned into a 17.75 km adventure.
I ran the Sentrumsløpet in Oslo. 10 km in 61.5 mins in 2012 and 53 mins 46 seconds in 2013! There’s a dip in speed during the middle section as I got a really unpleasant cramp. Hopefully I can do even better for 2014 🙂 Here’s the trace from my Nike running watch.

As weird as it may seem, I’m pretty sure I managed to make this upward trend in load times decrease by reducing the amount of caching on my site(s). I reduced how often Batcache stores pages and the load time plummeted within a few minutes.
They sure do have some interesting fashions in Denmark.
This is what happened when I ported a couple of SMF forums over to bbPress.
I accidentally stumbled across this screenshot from geek.hellyer.kiwi in 2008.
From the old to the new. I upgraded SlapShot.net.nz this evening from SMF 1.1.14 to the latest bbPress plugin for WordPress. I’d been running an out of date, unpatched, insecure SMF installation for well over a year now. Plus I haven’t been doing any backups of it. By moving it to the bbPress plugin I […]

I have a minor problem. The Comment Errors plugin I wrote a while back is broken. I’m not sure why it’s broken, but I suspect it is related to a change in WordPress core, so I’m going to discontinue it until I come up with a better solution. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-errors/ My current plan Remove all the […]
I wondered why some of the bread tasted so nasty when I moved to Norway. It turns out it was only half baked! I didn’t realise this was the problem until looking at the side of a packet today and reading “halvstekt” which means “half cooked”!
I had to write a 125+ word letter to a friend in Norwegian for my language class. Here is the result … Hei! Jeg håper at du hadde en bra helgen! Jeg gikk til Sognsvann for løpt i helgen. Jeg realisert etter jeg reiste bort fra hjemme at min nøkler var i leiglighet! Jeg sendte […]
Jeg løpt 6.7 km i Oslo snø i dag.
I was awarded a medal at work for sending traffic to our company website. The medal tasted pretty good 🙂
I had Jan check over some sentences I wrote which I knew were incorrect. Here are the results. My version … Jeg har blitt veldig opptatt hele uke. Jeg skal ikke blir så opptatt nå. Jan’s improved version 🙂 Jeg har vært veldig opptatt hele uken. Nå fremover blir jeg ikke så opptatt At least […]
Jeg dro på skitur til Skjennungen i skogen nær Oslo. Det var første skitur for meg. Jeg gikk veldig sakte. Det vær veldig flotte jenter med meg. De hjap meg med å gå på ski. Jeg brukte lang tid på ski turen. Neste gang skal jeg ikke gå så sakte. Vi bodde i en søt […]
Jeg hadde min først skitur i helgen. Jeg var litt dårlig på ski, men jeg skal bli bedre neste gang 🙂
Jeg gikk på skitur til hytta i skogen.
Vi lært mange ord på norskurs!
I need to write a story about the following picture for my Norwegian class. Any ideas on what the story should be about? Something humorous would be best 🙂
Ku er veldig farlig! Du trenger å bli veldig forsiktig rundt dem!
Jeg vil baker en veldig bra hjemme lagt brød for meg.
An email I sent to the lovely Corina from Romania. Hallo, Jeg skal til konferanse i Cluj i Romania. Jeg har venner fra Cluj. De er ekspert på WordPress programvare for websider. Hvor kommer du fra? Kansje er du fra nær Cluj? Jeg vil spise mye mat i Transylvania 🙂 Jeg elsker Romansk mat! Jeg […]
