Getting caught for speeding
At the end of April, on my way home from work, I got caught for speeding.
Fuck IE gently
Last Friday, I was looking forward to go home after a long work week. Alas, I got held at the office all Friday night, due to one little thing: Internet Explorer, once again bugging out (IE 7 in this case).

During this summer, I realized that Apple’s naming of versions seems a tad odd…
When the Wiimote (Nintento Wii Remote) stops working

Sometimes I see such gems in my daily work, I just have to share…
The trip to Berlin and the Mozilla Add-Ons Workshop 2009
As most of you know, I was in Berlin last weekend, giving a talk at Mozilla Add-Ons Workshop :: Berlin (MAOW Berlin 2009). It was great fun, and I thought I’d tell you more about the event and the trip.
Headhunters

Tomorrow it’s time for Apple’s last keynote at Macworld Expo, and as usual, lots of rumors and ideas circulate.

Sometime, your perception of yourself isn’t a 100% in sync with your childrens’ takes…
The Spotify party
Saturday night, I had the pleasure of attending a Spotify party, thrown by Spotify – the best music service available.

The other day I got a letter from the Swedish Tax Authority in regards to taxation of my daughter Emilia.

I now own an iPhone and must reconsider what I wrote in iPhone letdowns.
Going sailing
From September last year till this summer, I was working on a project which demanded some extra time and efforts, especially at the end before launch (which doesn’t), and the customer was nice enough to treat us to a reward trip for our success; basically, for doing what we’re paid to do in the first place. 
Nyman rides again
I’m back.
Summer break
After a spring filled with varying degrees of turmoil, summer is finally here. And with that, my friends, comes my break from development, blogging and any other computer-related activity.
Memory – an Adobe AIR application
For some time, I’ve wanted to play around with Adobe AIR and see what it’s like. I’m also a sucker for very simple, yet addictive, games, so now was the time!
Port ASP.NET features to Ruby on Rails
Now there’s a plugin available to get the best features of ASP.NET into Ruby on Rails.

Microsoft will use Gecko layout engine in IE 8
When I read the news this morning, it blew my mind! Microsoft will use the Gecko layout engine for IE 8.

I’ve always liked hair. Beautiful hair makes people look fantastic, and I think more personality is conveyed through hair than we think.
Customer care, the hard way
The other night we had a company meeting outlining our new organization.
In the line of fire
I just felt a bit too restrained with Twitter last night to describe what actually went down. So, this will be too personal and perhaps too graphic. Consider yourselves warned…
A CSS class hero
I thought I’d share a web developer’s rendition of Working Class Hero.
Are you a stealth coder?
Ever felt that whatever you do, it doesn’t matter? No one notices your work, knows what you do or even knows your name. Then, my friend, you’re a stealth coder.

Totally narcissistic, but looking through the pictures from 2007, I found two of my favorites depicting me.
When things stop working, the solution isn’t always obvious
When we develop web sites, we stumble across problems, right? And sometimes, just sometimes, we do learn from them and know what to do next time. At other times, though, the problem is something we never would have expected.
@media Ajax – Journeys and stories
I’m just back from @media Ajax, which was a great experience! I thought I’d split up my stories in two posts: this one about the journey and social aspects, and the next one about the presentations. This post will be long enough anyway, so get a drink, lean back, and enjoy the ride.
Twisted Sister live at Solnahallen/Stockholm November 14th 2007
As you might have noticed, I love going to concerts and experiencing live music in general. Yesterday was a special night for me, seeing the band which was the first major rock concert I ever attended, play again in Sweden.
IKEA – the home of break-ups
IKEA, one of the things that Sweden is most well-known for (except for hot blondes and shady movies produced some decades ago…), is so popular (read: at least well-visited) here in Sweden that you cannot believe.
Interesting Google rankings
I thought it would be interesting to give some examples of how some terms, from my posts, are ranked in Google; both funny and more serious ones. It seems like I know How to get a good search engine ranking.
Web nerd accessibility humor
Yesterday, me and Mr. Stenström took the car to a nearby mall to have some lunch.
Two useful phrases
Just recently I’ve noticed two phrases that can really come in handy when working with other people.
A weekend and a Monday
This post might be a bit direct, or too open about my life, so refrain from reading if you don’t want to know (or else you might stop reading what I write altogether). Or maybe it just seems plain boring, and I totally understand you; it does get funnier at the end, though. If you’re not discouraged yet, allow me to describe my last three days.
Choose your screen saver wisely
Today was my fifth day consulting at a customer’s place, where I’m working side by side with Emil, and something unexpected happen.

The Fucked. store is open – write a slogan to win merchandise
For those of you who don’t know it, I have a somewhat Jekyll/Hyde side to me, and part of the results from that is the web site Fucked. that I run with some friends.
Henry Rollins in Stockholm, May 2007
Yesterday, a gloomy and rainy day in Stockholm, and with the suburb train situation messed up, I felt generally depressed. How to feel better? With some humor and aggression, of course, and what better way to find that than watching Henry Rollins in Stockholm!
What it’s like developing for Internet Explorer
Well, I guess the title and the image basically says it all…
Not the Google love I was hoping for
You know, we all desire to get a good ranking with Google, right? Well, here’s one search scenario where I’m really proud to get so high up…

Movies that made me gasp
Yes, apparently it’s casual Friday here today with the topics. Let me be a male pig, just this one time, and just list some of the movies that made me gasp (and some of them were also good movies overall):
A tech conversation…
When you’re a consultant, you once in a while get to overhear (alright, I’m constantly eavesdropping) some interesting conversations that amuses you. Today’s one: a technical one.
The wrong hole?
This is about a conversation I overheard many many years ago, taking place between a couple of teenage guys. It was about the “wrong hole”…

Firefox, The Little Memory Hog lived happily together with his family, the Mozillas, in a land far far away. Firefox had now turned 2.0.0.1 and it was time to attend kindergarten.
