Habari 0.5 Released

Jul 28, '08  ·  Closed Tags: , , .

It’s with great joy, that I can link to the newly released Habari 0.5. It took less than half a year to go from an idea to a fully fledged and wonderfully implemented Monolith.

I might have done the design, but I could never have pulled off the implementation, which was not only a team effort, but a sight to behold.

Work is being done on a demo version, but for now, I hope you’ll take out the time to try it out on your own. I think you might like it.

TRON 2

The quality is unbelievably poor, the image shaky and the sound crap. And to be honest, I’m so tired of sequels and remakes that I could just throw up.

But alright; yeah, it gave me the chills.

The real problem they’re facing, is: Can they make the story as wha’-huh-saywhatnow-ish as the first film?

In other news, I’m home from a weeks vacationing in the idyllic sea-side town of Sæby, with Rikke tailing me by a few days, which of course means we’re dealing with a Condition 3, Grade A, fully-fledged, evacuation-worthy Bachelor Weekend.

I’s gonna watch me some science fiction, get some writing done and play with my new 2.0 iPhone. Oh yeah.

I’ve got some followup-esque entries I’m looking forward to publishing cooking, but in the meantime, I’m going to leave the comment open on this entry, for you to shoot this breeze, drop cool links or discuss just how awesome Tron 2 is going be, or how awesome the Tron 1 DVD was.

Did I mention I awoke at 4am this morning and, finding that I couldn’t sleep any more, spent two hours at the beach, taking sunrise photos? Did I also mention that because of that, the 6-hour train-ride back to Copenhagen nearly got the best of me? Did I mention either of those two things?

Steven Spielberg’s Amblin’

Spielberg probably didn’t vomit every morning before he went onto the set of Jurassic Park, but the story has it that he did when he made Amblin’Steven Spielberg – A Biography by Joseph McBride, page 159, as related by Donald Heitzer, assistant camera man on Amblin’.

Denmark has (one of) the Worst iPhone Plan(s) in the World

Jul 3, '08  ·  Closed Tags: , , , .

Hey, everybody bitching and whining about your iPhone plans out there in the world (yeah Canadians, I’m looking at you, whiners); I think it’s official now. Denmark has one of the worst iPhone plan in the world (though it looks like Norway beats us).

Not to mention Telia, which doesn’t have the best reputation in the country either…

So, you know, the next time you’re a Canadian whining about Rogers and their iPhone plan, consider that ours is not only more expensive, but worse in every conceivable way. In fact, you can’t get a plan for your iPhone in Canada that’s as bad as the ones we have here in the Northern countries.

Think about that for a moment.
