Today I installed the newest version of Mac OS X on my Macbook Pro 17. The new version is named Mac OS X Snow Leopard and it runs actually very fast. In this version of Mac OS X Apple focused on usability + speed and not so much on innovation/new programmes and features etc.
To be honest I find this very attractive. Speed is the most important thing to me. The Finder has been completely rewritten in Cocoa to take advantage of all the modern technologies in Mac OS X, including 64-bit support and Grand Central Dispatch. My computer is not running 64-bit, but I am very pleased with the speed my on my Macbook Pro 17.

Yesterday I finally managed to get my website running SEO friendly URLs. At first I thought it was an impossible mission since I could not figured it out. At first I installed the Joomla component "sh404SEF" which rewrites Joomla URL to a more user-friendly format (SEF URL or URL rewriting): ornholt.dk/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=69&id=34... becomes ornholt.dk/about). At first it did not work, but after a helpful one.com employee helped me rewrite my .htaccess file I did succed. Sweet. Now my URLs are just a little bit shorter (and have a lot more decent look). Great!

Who said classical music is boring?
Ricardo Villalobos interpretation of the classical Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald "ReComposed" is a sweet introduction to the universe of electronic music with a classical twist. This track is named Villalobos "Uli, Mein Ponyhof" RMX and is released on a label called "Deutsche Grammophon".

I am the happy owner of an iPhone. On my iPhone I enjoy to be online. I also like to be online on my iPhone when I am on vacation in France (I live in Copenhagen, Denmark).
This blogpost is all about how expensive it is to be online via GPRS when you are abroad. I used 18,91 MB surfing the internet in France in 2 days (I have not received the bill for the rest of the vacation yet) and Telia charged me 336, 39 DKK for that. That is 336, 39/18,91= 17,789 DKK. per MB. That is pretty expensive I guess! The rest of the week in France I turned my GRPS off. I do think it is ridiculous price for being online. I wonder if Telmore will charge me the same?

Today I became aware of my brother is a good looking guy. And you might ask why I can postulate something like that? Well. Because he just look as sharp as a razor blade on a bunch of new pictures (Look book?) featured on Paul Smith's website. The pictures are taken for Paul Smith London Autumn winter 2009's collection.
Check out the pictures below:

What do you do when you are in Ajstrup in a summer cottage without internet broadband?
Well. If you do not need to get on the internet you just enjoy your holiday. But on the other hand if you just are an internet freak and cannot do without internet and owe an iPhone here goes the solution to get on the internet through your iPhone (without an broadband connection), with a new feature named "tethering". Tethering means that you can get a computer on the internet via network connection on iPhones.

A rising interest in mobile browsing on iPhones has increased the demand for mobile optimized websites. From a business point of view there are many reasons to have an eye on this trend. The mobile generation consumer segment is rapidly rising in Europe. This trend is mainly driven by smartphones and especially Apple's iPhone (Source: Børsen). To meet this development a lot of companys need to get themselves an iPhone/mobile website - a least to make a buzz out of themselves.
Having developed my own iPhone optimized website I have been forced to take some controversial decisions. Can you force a internet browser to redirect him/her to another website automatically? Well. Depends on many things. After all I decided to give the user the opportunity to make the decision themselves - either to watch an website in an iPhone optimized version or in a full version. If you do not want to give the user this option, but just want to redirect an iPhone user directly. Well. Take a look on the scripts below:

During the last week I worked on a fresh new look for my website. Again. Being very much inspired by the lovely gray weather in Denmark the site is kept in gray/black/white colors with blue links on a white background. Less is more style I would call it. The frontpage is again showing a visual menu and the pictures works as menu links. Because of the many pictures on the frontpage I added a smooth preloader. Cool and functional I would say. Furthermore I implemented a Twitter plugin. When I Tweet my website automatically integrates these tweets. Sweet.
Moreover I added a small iPhone icon/link to my iPhone website. Usefull if you are browsing the internet on an iPhone. Check out right corner. My iPhone site is updated aswell. Visual changed are the same as ornholt.dk.
