Football pictures and video
A few weeks ago I watched the Copenhagen Towers (the American football team I play for) U19 team play the semi-finals in the national championships, and I did of course take pictures of it. They can all be found in the Flickr gallery for the game.
Tuesday this week the Jens Rørbye the media manager for Copenhagen Towers, contacted me and asked if I could help out with an interview of the teams American import quarterback player. The news was that the player has renewed his contract for another season, so the interview was about that and living in Copenhagen.
The only thing worse than ads on websites
You have probably experienced it as well. You go into some website you rarely visit or haven't visited before, in order to find some information you know is on the website. For me it is typically a government owned website, or a website supported by a government body.
The page loads and you are getting ready to find the information you need, and then after quarter of a second a popup window comes right up in your face. The popup window wants to know your opinion about the website and how easy it is to find information on the website. The problem is, how should I know this if its my first time visiting the website, or I only visit it once per year?
Also, why is it the people behind the website can't use some of the existing extensive statistics gathering tools for websites in order to analyze how people navigate around their website, and if the users come back to their website. I guess they are just to lazy to analyze their statistics, and thinks it's easier to just bug their users to give them feedback.
Do anybody know of a Adblock Plus filter to block out these services?
Unsubscribing from newsletters…
A message I have seen numerous times when unsubscribing from various newsletters, is "Please allow up to 10 days for the changes to take effect in emails you receive.". How is it even possible to create a system that takes 10 days in order to remove an e-mail address from a list or a database, or change a flag which states if I should receive their news letters or not?
Concert photography is fun!
In an attempt on getting a bit of activity back here on my blog, I thought I might as well update a bit on what I've been doing lately.
A few weeks ago I went to the concert venue Gimle which is located in Roskilde in order to watch some concerts, primarily with the Danish live drum and bass band F.U.K.T and electronic artist Rangleklods. Both artists were ones which I had listened to a fair bit prior to the concert, and the concert was free so it was really a no brainer to go.
Zenphoto Sitemap 2.0.0
I have made a new version of the Zenphoto gallery plugin, zenphoto-sitemap, available.
The new version is a rewrite of the plugin, in order to increase speed, decrease load and generally make the code easier to read, hence the version number. I have also included a README file in the package.
The new version can either be fetched from this page directly, or from the new GitHub project page which can be found here.
I do have some ideas for ways to further improve the plugin, which can be seen on the project issue tracker, and feel free to report anything you would like to see and of course any bugs you may find.
