Come again some other day (Dec 11 2003 15:45 GMT) - Whenever Matt and I go to lunch together, he does this funny thing. If I start walking on the sidewalk nearest the curb, he literally grabs me by the shoulders and pushes me over so he can walk by the curb. I think it's funny, but most of all I think it's nice. Because Matt is a gentleman, and I appreciate that sort of thing. It's not often you meet someone willing to be the first to be hit by a car should it hop the curb. |

Fisharerojo is dead! Long live Fisharerojo! (Dec 11 2003 15:45 GMT) - Well, this site, in its current form, will be going away soon. My experiment with .NET is over, and it is time to move on to languages and environments that I actually use on a daily basis. Soon, this site will be replaced. It should look the same, but have a few extra features that will make running this site a lot easier. |

Pathetic (Dec 11 2003 15:44 GMT) - I agree with this, but I guess my expectations regarding reliable, honest journalism have hit the point where I'm no longer shocked or surprised at their slanted coverage. I guess it was things like this, and the fact that our... |

Copyright and good mentions (Dec 11 2003 15:44 GMT) - When I need a picture for one of my blog postings, I normally find something suitable really quickly, simply by searching in Google Images. Lots of great stuff is available.But then there's the problem of whether I mention where it comes from. Do I give credit to the source of the picture?It particularly becomes a problem in that some of the very best photography and art will often be found on a website of a professional photographer or artist. |

X-mas (Dec 11 2003 15:44 GMT) - It really feels more like pre-christmas here than it ever did in Southern California. Somehow blue sky, palm trees and t-shirts never quite went with getting into a christmas mood, despite plenty of lights and Santa Clauses. Well, it might not get to snow in Toulouse either, but it is cold, and people wear coats. You can walk around on the street, look at elaborate window displays, go into warm stores. Feels sort of nostalgic, like old times when we lived in Denmark. |

Commercial, sexist or racist messages, or those containing personal insults will not be projected. A message archive will store all the sent messages. |
