To days ago we finished our report for this semester project ... and went to bed (it was around 1 o'clock).

Yesterday we in the group went out shopping for food, picked up our report from the printers and went home to make a christmas dinner. Imaging this: six computer geeks making a complete christmas dinner with herring, liver paste, meat balls, pork loin, duck, white and brown potatoes, gravy and ris á l'amande! (hmm it all sounds better in danish? :/ )
It was a great dinner and I came home around six a clock this morning. Slept for four hours and went out to deliver our report. Finally done!

There were of course left-overs from the christmas dinner so today we met again for a left-over dinner - still nice food :) .

Now I'm just very tired...

I'll be going home to my parents sometime in the next few days - no idea when yet as I havn't had the time to think of anything other than the project report. I havn't had much time to finalize any coding yet either and it might even be moved to the end of january next year as I have three exams coming up. One of which is the devil and I really do not want to fail another exam! :P
... and I will probably use my christmas holiday with gaming...

Yeah I did. It have been a little while since the last one and I wanted to tell the world that I'm still working :P .

The new site is coming along great but is still not finnished. Today I added RSS feeds such that everyone can be notified whenever a new article or comment have been written.

I still need to add some statistic (so I can see what is going on) and finalizing some code. Then all the content!
The administration page is sexy! To bad you wont be able to play with it yourself :) ... yet...

Watching...

Just finished watching WALL-E. Cute movie, worth watching. I've also finished watching the first two seasons of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). Nice series. Feels a bit like Coupling but still different (as nothing comes close to what Coupling is :). On to season three and four...

Facebook application

We are focusing on writing the report atm so coding have stopped. Since we broke the application on the last day of coding we haven't released it yet, but hopefully we will fix the broken leg and release it before christmas. There most likely wont be time to put anything in the report about the publication of the application and its usage but we will use it in our exam in january.

Birthdays

Several people in my family have their birthday in december. The first is my mother on the 1st. She turned 30-40-50 something... The two cousins on the 2nd. An uncle the 6th, another cousin the 12th and a fourth cousin the 23rd. And a I probably forgot someone.

Better prepare dinner, then watching handball and finally T&T Sunday at Tom Turbo's Fun Server. Good sunday :) .

I have moved to the new server. I have not uploaded everything that was on the old 109.dk however for one reason: structure! I want to get rid of all the junk that I've placed different places and sometimes creating some new stuff.

New stuff includes my own blog. I'm still developing the new system and it will be great (of course :P). I've made an admin system using something that looks like modules. The core is done so I only have to finnish some modules and I can moderate everything on my site.

The gallery will not be created from scratch but it will get an admin site before I upload it again. I will use the same admin system as with this blog just with some other modules.

My download page will also get an update but it will most likely be created from scratch with a new design.

Baptism and stuff

Last weekend I was at my cousins sons (not sure how he is related to me :P) baptism. Afterwards we where invited for a dinner. My cousin and her boyfriend supriced the party by getting married on the spot. Well several of the guests (including me) had a strong feeling they would do it but noone had prepared anything. As a response to this my cousins brother (also my cousin... I hate english) went out shopping for rice and came back with four kilos. Three of which were thrown (or poured) at the happy couple. The last kilo were spread all over their car.

Congratualtions to all three.

Facebook application

Me and my groups Facebook application is getting prettier for every day. It is practicly finnished, we just need to add error checks etc. Prepare to be spammed with invites.

Together with Døng (yeah he's moving aswell :P) I've bought a new server/hosting at http://www.servage.dk which I will move the 109.dk domain to soon.

This means that at some point in the future the site wont work.

In the moving process I will clean alot up and several sites on 109.dk might not continue to live (at least not online).

I hope that I can get my new website finnished before the move but I doubt I can code it fast enough and still live up to my own extremely high standard (imaginary or not :P).

A few months back I did a little research in my list of facebook "friends". I use the " as the word friend means more in danish than it does in english. Back then I had around 30 "friends" where 6 of them was from the opisite sex. Today I was bored and did a new counting...

Total "friends": 96 (that is more than J0k3, wtf?!)
68 males
28 females
16 from my family (including my mom!)
19 from the university
14 from BRSB (the firefighter crew)
12 from HTX (high school or something)
13 from elementary school
2 I've never meet IRL
2 who doesn't speak danish
around 1.381.335 reasons why I should find something better to do...

In my project group we are currently working on a Facebook application. The 17th we will make a usability test of it with a test person in a labratory! Around the same time we will probably spam all our friends with invites so we can spread the word and see how the application works out IRL. Hope for alot of response so we have some good stuff to write about in our report :) .

And one last thing... http://www.109.dk/junk/nickchanger-design-whatever.png (WIP! :P).
