Yeah yeah, it was hard to come up with a headline… so what. 2 days ago this blog was spammed with 256 comments from the same IP. It was the usual stuff offering me easy access to online casinos, “medicine” sellers and you know the drill. I have no idea how it happened. Usually ReCaptcha […]
In a few days, I’ll be going back to my nerdish roots, and join with some old buddies in what is said to be Denmark’s biggest LAN gaming event. Well, actually, this time it’s only for 450 people, but normally its 800 and up. 3 years ago I did this 2 times every year and […]

My graphics card started acting up the other day, so decided to do something about it and bought a new one before I killed the entire PC. Of course it wouldn’t work with my mainboard (an AsRock VSTA “transition” board with both AGP and PCI-E ports). So I had to give up and buy a […]

Cool! That basically says it all. Yesterday C and I attended a drum clinic with Keith Carlock here in Aalborg. And what is a “drum clinic”, you may ask? A drum clinic is when some world-class musician “tour” alone, show-off his godlike skills and let the audience ask questions afterwards. A bit unofficial and normally […]

I have now disabled Akismet spam protection on this blog and hope the best. Akismet have done a good job so far, but now it seems that it is surpassed by the spambots. The spam comments still fill my “waiting for approval” queue, and I find it annoying to go through these to sort out […]
Posted in China, China trip May 2005, Denmark on Feb 27th, 2008
Today I added a new category to make my first posts easy to find. These are all from my first trip to Shenzhen/China where I met C for the first time. The meeting and later Justins blog – Shenzhen Zen – was what spurred my interest in blogging. The category can be found on the […]

Guess that means Denmark wont sell any feta cheese in Gaza the next 2 generations or so? Or maybe I’m just being paranoid. Another aftershock from the re-printing of the Muhammed cartoons. The movie is from a childrens show made in Gaza.

This Monday, my last 1 week vacation started. C and I just spent 3 days in Copenhagen. We did some sightseeing while we tried to overstay our welcome with Kojak’s at his brand new apartment. Somehow we didn’t manage and we had a great trip. Arrived Sunday evening and relaxed a bit to accumulate strength […]

Sometimes it’s strange what can follow having a blog. Not only have I been asked to write a column (which I agreed to), but a few days ago, someone contacted me to ask permission to use one of my pictures. And, mind me, not one of the sceneries or similar (that I find best), but […]

The original layout with the whole page: A closeup: The column adjusted a bit for easier reading I hope (warning, it’s in German!): Sorry about quality, but had to screengrab it from the magazine’s flash viewer.

Yes – I’m kinda bored with blogging these days. It’s not that nothing is happening here. It’s just not interesting to write about. Well, ok, we spent 7000DKR (about 1350US$) on a new bed. Is that newsworthy? And – yes – plenty of other things are going on. Most are just not worth mentioning, while […]
Kinda busy doing nothing these days. Sorry for the lack of updates.

Sure I’m a sceptic. Who wouldn’t be in a world of better-knowing fools who stare themselves blind on their hobby/job/interests. Not only do they focus on their field of interest, but they also tell you that you should do the same. For “your own sake” of course. All I’m saying is that if we try […]

As I promised yesterday, here’s what I wrote: Here in Aalborg things should be great, but something is amiss. Considering everything I should be upbeat. I’ve had the first days off from work since July (very important to maintain my mental health). X-mas and New Years Eve were great. I have a loving wife and […]

Just before Christmas I was asked if I could do yet another column for RENDSBURGerLEBEN and said “Well – sure”. This summer, as I was in China, I was asked as well. I told the editor that even though I wanted to do the column, it would be difficult to write much about what happened […]
Find the flaw: An ad from a Danish newspaper: The same girl in a video on Fitnessworld’s homepage (screenshot): The full picture/video from Fitnessworld’s homepage: See – I don’t mind when you use Photoshop. I do it myself. But I resent when you do it this bad and with hidden agendas. I better explain: Check […]

So besides giving me a reason to shamelessly promote myself, this entry is an ode to my wife’s cooking. The self-promoting first: Yes – today it’s my birthday and I have now reached level 36. Thank you for asking. I’m sure this brand new information will make room for an endless stream of well-wishings and […]

So now that the Christmas vacation has hit you, what are you doing with your time Peter? Well, gee, nothing special. Just relaxing and cooking up a variant of some kransekage (a special cake rich on marzipan). Jup, sounds boring, but actually pretty relaxing and just what the doctor ordered for a worn worker like […]

Today I discussed with 2 colleagues how you could post pictures in Google Earth. I told them how another colleague had found some pictures named “Joecool200” and wondered if that were me? Sure was. It made one of my colleagues try to make a picture search on Google for “Joe Cool”. This is the result: […]
