I have one extra Flattr invite laying around…
What is flattr?
Flattr can be used as a compliment to accepting donations. Or to having advertising on your blog. Or to help getting small donations you never get for your open source software.
Comment on this post and I’ll pick one of the commenters on Saturday June 5th.
The Norwegian Constitution day celebrations in Brisbane, Australia. It is the biggest celebration outside the Norwegian border! It was a chilly winterday here down under with only 16-17 degrees.
All the pictures will be available on my flickr account as soon as they are done uploading. Check them out at my flickr photostream. You can see some of the selected images below.

I was explaining the last LOST season up until the episode this week to @bearroast earleir today and this is it:
The island is typ a way station between heaven and hell. It is time-independent. On the island there is a guy called Jakop who is “Jesus” and the gas cloud / (Now John Lock) representing evil. The evil is trying to get to the ordinary world, but the only option it has to do soo is to kill and Jakop, and then take all that was part of the original plane (flight 815) away from the island. John Lock / cloud can not directly kill Jakop, only indirectly. John Lock / cloud killed Jakop in the last episode of season 5 through manipulation of Ben Linus. Now Lock try to gather everyone from flight 815 to leave the island. Everyone on Flight 815 + Desmond was /
are candidates to take over as the kind Jakop / jesus on the island. I guess where we typ today ..
Opera Mini was finally approved in the App Store today and I was very eager to test the new browser on my phone. Opera mini is faster than Safari mobile due to Operas compression technology but o’boy does some of the sites look ugly on Opera. The double touch to zoom feature is another thing I have major issues with in Opera due to the lack of “intelligent zoom”. On top of that Opera Mini has a ugly GUI and less viewable area than Safari Mobile.
Opera mini vs Safari Mobile
Fast and ugly vs slower and the way the site was meant to be viewed.

The HTML5 standard is still under development and they recently made a change to the aside tag. Previously the content of the aside tag had to be used for content related to the article content. In the new specifications aside’s inside a article has to have content related to the article. If you use the aside tag outside the article the aside could be used as a regular sidebar. That is more or less what we have seen the aside tag has been used for so far anyway. That is the way I used it on my HTML5 projects so far.

The latest version of the webkit nightly builds support the border-radius property (and -webkit-border-radius). It looks like CSS3 specifications for border-radius is going to be locked down soon. Here is a link to an article with an overview on how the browsers render the standard.
