Now, I don’twant to make the people in Malmö any more proud (I don’t think they need my help anyways) but their brand new house, Turning Torso, is beatiful! We were down visiting Evas parents (and picking up our two cats) and stopped by on the way back. I snapped a few pictures, this was the best one.
Jonathan Watt has written up some authoring guidelines for SVG. All SVG authors should read and obey these rules.
I hope someone gets around to writing a SVG validator that besides doing the regular validation also warns for common interoperability problems. Possibly based on Relaxed (Relax-NG + Schematron). Such a tool would greatly help authors to write SVG files that works in all viewers.
Five months ago it happened, that little pink line showing that Eva was pregnant. Today, we’re getting close to the date that will change our life forever. November 28th is the predicted date, I’ve put my money on December 3rd.
The image above shows the ultrasound picture when Mini (that’s the working name while we fight out the real name) was 14 weeks old.
The pram have been bought, tiny clothes are starting to pile up and the grand mothers (and grand grand mothers) are excited. So, everything is going just great. Now, if I only had a clue to how to handle a small baby. But I’m hoping that it will all fall into place as we get there :-)
I immediatelly fell for the pressure and bought Mint, the hyped site statistics app from Shaun Inman. Bought (via PayPal), downloaded and installed, all within five minutes. So far I’ve only used it for an hour so it’s way to early to tell how it will work out but here are some intial reflections.
The AJAX based GUI is very slick. I would like to be able to provide links to the individual portlets.
Pepper, the plugin interface is easy to use. I installed the UserAgent 007 plugin in less than a minute and it instantly started collecting data.
Now, its going to be interesting to see if a plugin community evolves around Mint.
On Mr Jabber, Peter Saint-Andre’s blog, I found a real gem, CACert. CACert is a community for issuing certficates for free. By using a distributed network of assures (we have two here in Gothenburg for example) I can get enough points to get a valid certificate for my identity. And, if I get further assurance points, a will be able to assure others and help spread the network.
I’ve previsously used Thawte Web of Trust which works in the same manner, however I do like the openess and simplicity of CACert. I’ve not been assured by the two guys here in Gothenburg and is waiting for them to enter my points. After that, I can get my personal certificate.
The only main issue with CACert right now is that the CACert root certificate is not included in the main products (Windows, IE, Mozilla) yet. This means that without verifying and installing the root certificate manually, people will not be able to trust my certificate.
