  Attention Profiles may filter news better   Geekyness, Human, Web (0)

  Amazon profiles you by the books you buy. Google sponsored links are displayed by the contents of your gmail e-mails and general website interests. All “Big Brother” considerations aside – this is clever – or at least technically interesting. There are risks of evil marketeers profiling you down to the bone, but on the other [...]

  Why are Wiki’s so darn ugly?   Geekyness, Open Source, Web, Wiki (0)

  I am a Wiki-virgin. Not in the sense of being a wiki-reader/contributor, but today I set up my first Wiki which is about to go online.

  Simple VPN setup   Geekyness, Linux, Networks (0)

I could sftp to my home server and fetch the files, but with the overhead of having to remember to actively upload the files [...]

  Internet Explorer on Linux   Geekyness (0)

  This post is written from Internet Explorer 6. In itself that is not so strange – I have a large client that exclusively run Internet Explorer 6 throughout the entire enterprise, so my work needs to be 100% tested on this browser. On my Windows XP installation i am running IE7 which cannot coexist with [...]

  Focus focus   Geekyness, Linux (0)

  I like to keep stuff separated, so this blog will contain observations and hopefully conversations about IT, geeky stuff and social software. As I am writing this, I have just completed downloading Ubuntu Linux 7.04 which was released today. Their site still have symptoms of quite a heavy load, as the most of the (geeky) [...]
