Introducing the link dump
12/10/2007 13:00 | Categories: General, Links, Geeky | 0 Comments
I have recently realized that I'm using my del.icio.us account more and more as a place to dump all sorts of interesting (and not so interesting) links that I come across during the day. But instead of cluttering the front page with little posts titled "links for xxx", I've moved all my del.icio.us stuff to its own section called "LinkDump", accessible via the menu bar right below the header.
The link dump is a collection of all the the recent links posted to del.icio.us by me. The section is entirely dynamic, built on Javascript and using the Delicious JSON API. I placed all the code in a nice Javascript class called myDelicious, that you should be able to deploy in your own blog, should you be interested in this kind of feature. Please let me know if you find the class useful 
And now since there won't be any more automatic posts every night from del.icio.us, I'll have to try and find something interesting to moblog...
Introducing Oskarintie 2.0

I had been meaning to do a little redesign here for a while now, and I finally had some time over the last couple of days. So without further ado, please meet the new version of this blog: Oskarintie 2.0!
I took a design called Photopress for Wordpress, adapated it for Lifetype and butchered the CSS completely The base HTML code is the same but I always am amazed at how much can be done just by changing some bits here and there in a stylesheet. I liked the design because it is perfect for moblogging/photoblogging, as the centre column is sized to allow 6480x480 pictures and there are no annoying side columns at either left or right side that make the page feel too overloaded.
There still are a few things missing but I will be adding them as we go (like checking if pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional) For those interested, I will be making it available as a Lifetype packaged template (without the custom logo and so on)
Forza 2 is cool

Forza 2 for the Xbox 360 is a pretty cool driving game. And it has an editor where you can paint and customize cars... I've pretty much spent more time customizing and painting cars than racing! I'm not very good at it, but you can always come up with crazy things like the Audi RS6 below, part of my private "Bee team"

Somebody wanted to see my desktop, so here it is! Nothing really exceptional (default icons, default colours, and very few icons!!)

We spent last weekend in Saint Petersbourg and we went to places like Catherine's park, which looks beautiful in the winter. We of course took some pictures and below are some of the nice ones.
