I wanted to try out Sony's online music store, but it seems it requires Explorer. Try this with Safari and feel the rejection. This is not the way to do business. My most recent experience with this is that I askes the Skype developers for beta access to their OS X software and they were making money of me in no time (and I'm dialling far more frequent to Norway now). How about that music, Sony?

An SMS rally in Norway that asked people to light a candle for the Beslan (Russia) victims led to the Red Cross being given one million norwegian crowns (Norwegian article). 1.050.000, really. 1.5 million SMS'es were sent, and Telenor, Norways biggest phone company, gives the surplus to the Red Cross, which in turn will send even more help to Beslan within this week. I received these SMS'es both in Norwegian and Danish, so perhaps this has happened other places in the world as well? More info in Norwegian here.

Hypertaskers do things faster but not better is today's article from SlashDot. Forgetfulness, sleeplessness, irritability and stress, sounds familiar? Sure does to me. Anyway, with increasing demands and increasing inputs it seems the logical thing to do is to find a way to be able to deal with issues one at a time in a relaxed fashion. And how do you deal with that email-overload?

Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble using Roller for Ingeborg's homepage. I've set the characterset to be ISO-8859-1, yet all norwegian characters end up as question marks in the HTML. The database contains the posts with Norwegian characters, so something weird happens on its way through Roller. Checked this with version 0.9.8.1 and 0.9.8.2. Apparently this is still true with 0.9.9. Time to finally ditch Roller (and go for WordPress?)? I like the system, but it keeps failing on me and not having a big community making plugins and such for it, there's not really that much to hold on to. Or is there? Input is most welcome!
