When programming desktop applications I’ve always been a supporter of lazy loading of objects but I’ve never given this much thought when creating websites. Until now.

Yessir, bjornblog has a brand new look and lots of new features! :-) I’m so excited about my new blog, that I’ve even created a screenshot to teach you how to get the most out of my new design the new theme I installed.

I’ve used Privoxy for several years now and love it. For those of you not familiar with the program it’s basically just a local proxy that you can run your browsers through that will strip ads and make sure your privacy is intact while surfing the net. One neat thing about it is that it’s very configurable, and you can also specify extra header info to send. So, this gave me an idea .. why not just send one of my sites as referer. That way, I’m always promoting my site when I’m mindlessly surfing the web.

Found this video on YouTube entitled ‘Xgl Demo’ .. This guy must be running a monster machine, but still – it’s pretty impressive.. Comments Comment by Kenneth A.

Comment by Bjørn on 2006-09-24 22:19:16 +0000 From Wikipedia: As of May 2006, the Xgl X Server (and related components including the Compiz compositing manager and associated graphical config tools) ships as a non-default in one major Linux distribution, SUSE 10.

I found this great description of the country I live in and my fellow norwegians inside a label of a t-shirt I bought from a clothing company called Moods of Norway. With it’s 4.5 million inhabitants, 385639 sq. miles, and a resistance against continental drift, Norway is a land of great diversity. Wheter it’s due to the hilarious infinite access of oil or that the country itself being as far stretched as the last gin-tonic at 5 AM in the morning, there is no doubt in the presence of some genuine norwegian moods.
