It’s now official – I’m a Mac user. After flirting with Ubuntu Linux for a year, watching Knut Sætre (my coworker) use his MacBook Pro and reading all the switch stories around the net I decided time had come for a change. So far, I’m definitely not regretting anything. OS X seems to me like [...]

Reorganizing my life… again
During the last couple of months, GMail has had several hiccups. And when Google homepage suddenly lost all my gadgets for two days recently, I figured I might look into the desktop application approach to organizing my life again. I’ve also experienced that having «tools» in the same browser that contains tabs with social networks [...]

Why Vista isn’t coming near my computers
I’ve earlier written a norwegian piece on why Vista isn’t coming near my computer over at Nettvint.net, but since the arguments have grown during time and I felt the need for a recap, I’ll do it again. To sum it up: Vista isn’t coming near any of my computers, and I’ll tell you why right [...]

Why Flash websites are a really, really bad idea
Just to state some basic facts… Flash doesn’t work _everywhere_, unlike normal HTML. My computer runs a 64-bit OS without 32bit emulation, and Adobe has yet to provide a Flash player for any 64-bit platform. Flash requires a proprietary plugin. Flash does not let users change font sizes or contrast settings using personalized stylesheets. A [...]

Yet another Firefox extension list
When I first got a customized Firefox install demonstrated to me I was immediately awestruck by the functionality offered by extensions. Sure, Firefox isn’t the fastest nor the most standard-compliant browser around, but the extensions really got me hooked (thanks, HHJ)! So I did the conversion after having used Opera for 5-6 years. And now, [...]

Linux ikke helt klart for desktopen
Ok, etter siste tiders offensiv fra Microsoft gjennom WGA bestemte jeg meg for nok en gang å prøve ut alternativer til Windows som desktop OS. Det eneste jeg har som er Windows-kritisk er Fokus nettbank (ja, de suger), Call of Duty og det lille jeg gjør av VB.Net-utvikling (jeg vet det kan gjøres under Linux, [...]

Lærere og andre særbehandlede
I respons på at Førsteamuensis ved BI, Espen Andersen ville gi udugelige lærere sluttpakker sier Leder for utdanningsforbundet i Troms Espen Bratsberg «Dette er et useriøst forslag. Lærere har krav på den samme beskyttelsen som alle andre ansatte i landet har». Dette er jo hele poenget, det er ingen andre yrkesgrupper, ihvertfall ikke i det [...]

Blondiner og muslimer
Jeg skulle egentlig skrive noe om Muhammed-bilder, men fant ut at Mathias Rognved sa alt jeg ville si. I tillegg har Kjetil Johansen et vanvittig godt poeng. Bør leses! Hos Mathias finner man også den morsomste blondinevitsen jeg noensinne har sett.
