Invitations have been sent out, plans have been made - much still needs to be done, but I think “we’ll make”:http://bryllup.olrik.dk/ it! It’s going to be great!

My paternity leave is at an end, and today I returned to my regular day job. While it would have been nice to stay at home for a while longer, it was nice to be back! Now I just have to wade through the 2 months of email that is cluttering up my work-inbox… Yikes!

Everyones new favorit number seems to be 13256278887989457651018865901401704640 or if you want it in hex 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 It even has a website

One should think that Tivoli, the second oldest amusement park in the world, would be up to speed technology wise, but when it comes to handling tickets they are still some what in the dark ages. I hold a season-pass to Tivoli and last thursday, the day before this seasons grand opening, season-pas-holders were invited to a “Sneak-preview” for the mere sum of 50 DKK all rides included. Quite a bargin. The “preview-ticket” could be bought online(with a maximum of one ticket per “season-pass”) and printed out at home. But if you botch this, you are screwed… My browser died, so no ticket for me. No problem I thought, they sent me an email that said “Click here to print out ticket”, but alas no link was included in the email. I called their support hotline, which was very friendly, and they would see to that my ticket would be printed and left at the ticket office for me to pick up - no problem! But after waiting in line for an obscure amount of time my ticket could not be found. So I found the confirmation email on my cellphone, and finally they gave up trying to get their one computer to verify my missing ticket and just let us in. If they had just assoiated my ticket purchase with my season-pass there would be no need for paper tickets, no stressed out ticket clerks(we were not the only ones with this problem) and no unhappy customers. But I guess this would be too high-tech for an old amusementpark like Tivoli…

One of my favorite tools just went one point oh! - An oh what an upgrade! Firebug went from totally cool, to insanely great - if you haven’t upgaded already then hurry up, if you haven’t installed it, the do it - you won’t regret it! It has even obsoleted a couple of other plugins as you can now do inline editing of CSS and lots of other cool stuff! For users of lesser browsers, there is even a lite version so they can develop with Firebug and use all the cool features on their development site that we can use on any site! Oh… did it forget to mention it is free ?

For a long time I have been using lori - Life of request info with much joy. - Then came Firefox 2.0 … Nice browser, but lori stopped working… :-( Today I really needed it, so I unpacked it and changed the max version from 1.5 to 2.0, and now it works again :-) You can download it here, but I can’t guaranty it won’t blow up you your computer, but it works for me.
