SubscribeI wanted a script to show a random quote from bash.org in every new terminal session. PHP is my language of choice. :) Save as “bashquote” and chmod 755 (rwxr-xr-x) to use (make sure the regexp looks exactly as below in preg_match_all()). The script only works in a Unix/Linux environment.

A small RSS filter written in PHP
Nearly all news sources has some posts I’m not interested in. I can’t believe no RSS readers has implemented good enough filters yet. But I anyway I wrote my own. :) I don’t think my server can handle too much usage, so I’m just giving you the code as is.
Hvordan få sider som ser bra ut, overalt
Veldig ofte ser jeg at forumer oversvømmes av nettsideproblemer som jeg finner ut av i løpet av sekunder på ren automatikk. Det slo meg at noen bør ta til orde for litt hjelp til selvhjelp på dette området. Så her har jeg samlet mine triks for problemfrie websider.
Hvordan Google News kan redde avisbransjen
I forbindelse med dagens debatt i Aftenposten kalt “stenger ute leserne” (funnet via IAllEnkelhet.no) som jeg anbefaler alle å lese, tar jeg opp noen argumenter om hvorfor f.eks Google News er den beste oppfinnelsen for internettmedier siden Apache! :-P Resten av denne artikkelen baserer seg på en intern utblåsning jeg hadde for et halvt år [...]
Web 2.0 – hvor ble du av?

Is anyone actually thinking at all over at Microsoft?
Thomas Baekdal shows how clicking on a link that says “Download silverlight” still takes you through 7 pages before giving you the actual file! I know Microsofts websites are bad from a usability perspective, but this is truly horrible. Isn’t anyone actually thinking things through in Redmond?
So I made this MVC-framework in 27 lines of code…
It started as a generic include-script for the redesign of my commercial homepage, Pedersen Mediaconsult and suddenly I got an epiphany. ;)
Introducing… The OneFileFramework, a complete (well, sort of) web framework in PHP that consists of ONE single file (index.php) consisting of 27 actual code lines. :D
The webpage I set up for it (and the [...]

To those who are looking for someone to do work for free… please wake up and join the real world
Every day, there are more and more CL posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to [...]
Usability in applications
My pet peeve regarding usability is the lack of (let’s face it, most) developers ability to put themselves in the situation of computer beginners (aka newbs). Eric S. Raymond describes exactly how bad this can get in The Luxury of Ignorance. And in my own opinion, this also describes why Linux is still miles away [...]
