Reittiopas, ja erityisesti sen taskuversio, on ehkä maailman hyödyllisin mobiilisovellus. Sen käytettävyys ja hyödyllisyys paranisi kuitenkin vielä enemmän jos se muistaisi muutaman keskeisen reitin mitä minä käytän, kuten bussi muksujen koulusta duuniin tai duunista kotiin. GPS-integraatio voisi korjata tämän mutta tämän päivän teknologialla se ei taida webbisovelluksella vielä onnistua. Vielä.
Minulla on kuitenkin muutama elämää helpottava [...]

I added a few bits and pieces to pimp my web experience, and i thought i’d document them here. First stuff that i added to Firefox, then two plugins i added to Wordpress.
Delicious integration
I’m a great fan of server based services. I like to have my data in the cloud so that i can reach [...]

Cacti is a free network monitoring and graphing (”trending”) tool, which i’ve managed to install on a computer at work. The idea is that eventually i will have a portable network monitoring tool that is both easy to physically lug around and reasonably easy to plug into a new network and let it do its [...]

Missäköhän olisi sellainen palvelu johon voi lähettää 425-sivuisen kirjan painettavaksi yhdeksi kappaleeksi?
Update: Kas. Kirjan webbisivujen kautta pääsee myös kirjakauppaan. Koko höskä kympillä + postikulut. Ei paha.

It was only towards the very end of my academic “career” that i discovered how fun technical articles are. Esteemed researchers — and wannabes — write the latest in technological innovation for the world to see. And since i had the “study right” at the school, i had free (gratis) access to these articles.
However, [...]

Update: Link fixed. Thanks Kim!
Brian Fling does an exceptional run-down of The Immutable Laws of Web Design and Development. Every project manager either
should know them
already know them
will learn to know them (the hard way)
In fact, we had a project management meeting a little while ago where we mused [...]

One fine day i saw that most of my hotmail contacts existed in duplicates. Pedantic as i am, i went and deleted [...]

Huh? With the motion picture Star Trek (“XI”) in the pipeline, CBS are shutting down StarTrek.com web site and recycling its maintainers. Effective immediately. I’m befuddled, confused, bummer’d and just don’t get it. I hope Paramount will have the decency and acumen to pick up the torch and re-hire the StarTrek.com crew.
You can send your [...]

The Interweb is full of wonderfully strange stuff. Like the following collection of… art? Muggezifter puts his camera’s timer on two seconds and runs. Click. Running from camera.

I have opened up The Foo Bar. All are welcome to drop in. And i might just as well make it public for all to edit, for the fun of it as a social experiment :). The nifty bit is the first interface: one text box and one big submit button. Jot some [...]
