Invaluable for coders I guarantee; how often haven’t you want to get the second latest thing you paste? With Clipboard.NET you can. Great tool! You...

In Control II - Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin is known to a broader audience for the summer-hit “Don’t worry, be happy”. But that is such a little part of his work. And his real genius lies in his voice. This guy has control, and loads of it. When I heard this clip yesterday I found myself with my mouth open through out the whole thing. And...

The vacation - short recap

As I wrote earlier I’ve just spent four wonderful weeks on vacation. Great times and great feeling to do something completely different for a month. First we went to Skåne and stayed for a week in Ystad, in this nice cottage. Only about 1.90 m in height but it worked out alright. In the surrounding fields Elin took a Gladiator-inspired...

WCF, WSDL and differences from web services

I’m back after a four week vacation (oh yeah - us Swedes really has things going for us). More about the vacation later. First thing to learn this “season” is that the WSDL generated by WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) services differs from the one generated with ASMX web services. The main difference is that the WSDL is generated with some...

Multi-gifted - Glyn Williams

I can’t keep this clip from you - it’s golden. The clip shows one of my favorite bands, The Fodens Richardson’s band, in their best party-mode. The “main” soloist is an excellent euphonium player named Glyn Williams, but here he tries out some other instruments also.

Modelling - the result

As I wrote earlier I have done another “photo session” for Avega. Who knew that such assignments were to take place at a software consultant firm ;). I then promised to show the result and here it is. I am really pleased with the result. It almost looks like it was drawn or something. Really cool colors. It is a...

Found this page http://www.themusicpage.com/ that streams a lot of different contests and performances from brass brand all over the world - seems to be a bit a heavy on the down-under side but a lot of great stuff can be found there. For example recordings from the English Nationals that took place this weekend, with Grimethorpe as the winning band....

WCF Data Contract Versioning

I’ve been checking out a very interesting subject for my current project; WCF contract (and services) versioning. The support for this is so much better in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) than for mere web services, that going to WCF could be worth the effort based on that parameter alone. Here are some good tutorials, best practices and intros to the...

New model job

Yesterday was the second job of my “modelling career”. You remember the first don’t you? This time it was also for Avega and for a short interview in the annual report. Like the last time I felt really confused about wearing make-up and doing poses. This time was in the public also - at Stureplan downtown Stockholm. It was the...
