Hvordan Google News kan redde avisbransjen Fri, Nov 23. 2007
I forbindelse med dagens debatt i Aftenposten kalt "stenger ute leserne" (funnet via IAllEnkelhet.no) som jeg anbefaler alle å lese, tar jeg opp noen argumenter om hvorfor f.eks Google News er den beste oppfinnelsen for internettmedier siden Apache!
Resten av denne artikkelen baserer seg på en intern utblåsning jeg hadde for et halvt år siden, men den er like aktuell i dag.

Is anyone actually thinking at all over at Microsoft? Thu, Sep 6. 2007
So I made this MVC-framework in 27 lines of code... Mon, May 28. 2007
It started as a generic include-script for the redesign of my commercial homepage, Pedersen Mediaconsult and suddenly I got an epiphany. ![]()
Introducing... The OneFileFramework, a complete (well, sort of) web framework in PHP that consists of ONE single file (index.php) consisting of 27 actual code lines. ![]()
The webpage I set up for it (and the demo) pretty much explains it all (form validation, MVC-orientation and so on). I haven't set up any way of providing feedback for it yet, though. So I'd like comments to be posted to this blog entry.
I'd especially like to hear if anyone can find a way to fool OFF into security attacks using the $p parameter.
Free design work Sun, Mar 18. 2007
I found this through No-spec.com, the original author is unknown and the original posting was on CraigsList.
To those who are looking for someone to do work for free… please wake up and join the real world
Every day, there are more and more CL posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.
Usability in applications Wed, Jan 3. 2007
My pet peeve regarding usability is the lack of (let's face it, most) developers ability to put themselves in the situation of computer beginners (aka newbs). Eric S. Raymond describes exactly how bad this can get in The Luxury of Ignorance. And in my own opinion, this also describes why Linux is still miles away from being a viable desktop alternative for the regular Joe. I've had too many similar encounters like this myself.
A key point in understanding users is also discussed in Raymond Chen's The default answer to every dialog box is "cancel". Nice to see that Microsoft has people around that realizes this. Now if they could only understand that the default answer to security alerts is "allow" as well (atleast after the users learn what cancel does to them), they'd probably understand why those are useless aswell. ![]()
Todays lesson? People shouldn't need to read manuals to get things working, and they don't read dialog boxes. I've always meant that any piece of software should be so straight forward that the manual becomes redundant.
