I’ve never seen this in any other city I’ve lived in–it’s quite amazing. And most likely friggin’ expensive. This is how it works: The Road Services put up temporary “parking forbidden between timeX and timeY” signs. If your car is not removed ... http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=36 Many Opera employees (Brian, Magnus, Henrik B and Charles to name a few) have created maps showing which countries they have visited. Because everyone and their dog has created a map by now, I wanted to do something different. Thus, I created a map of all countries which represent an Opera ... http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=35 I often use the UNIX command line tool scp (secure copy) to copy a file to a remote server.

It’s the time where we go from this: … To this: Soon the snow will be gone and the city will reveal its dirty truth. Fortunately, it ... http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=30 The other day, I opened a terminal and executed “whois google.com”. I don’t know why, because the result should be obvious. Far from it.

I’m totally blank. http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=29 The country in which I have spent most of my life as well as the one in which I currently reside have recently seen their national emblems being burned on the streets of remote nations. Both countries’ embassies in Syria have been burnt to the ground; “Danish consulate in Beirut ablaze” ... http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=28 The other day I installed iLife ‘06. When it was done, the Dock quit but did not relaunch. To get it back, I would normally log out and back in.
