The blog of magic-mouse

Sometimes a look in to the past,

can be just as interesting as a look in to the future. This is an example of how the blog looked like 2 months ago. Because of the slow design changes i thought it would be fun to display it here. I am quite satisfied with the result of the work i have done so far. Though i have discovered that there is a new version out from 8pixel.Net , so during the next few weeks im working on getting the new features build in to the current blog. There is new features such as categorising.

Means if you are interested in reading about the tecnical stuff backend ect. or just how it is going. Or the boat only. You would have an easier time finding just the blog posts that interest you. There might be a part of someone out there thinking i do all this work for increased readers. But thats not true. I do it as a service to my current readers as i have a pretty good idea who it is and i like it to be easier for those people. Along with ofcause the amusement of what im doing. I like to recode everything. (If it was'nt so i think wordpress would be a good place to make a blog with all the functionality there.)

Just todays 50cents. Though i think it got to be a bit more :)

Today we were at a birthday party, it was Tuvas birthday Cinas "little" girl got 11 and we went there to celebrate it. We allso went to give Felix a birthday present because he did'nt get one because the poor bastard got birthday on the most awsome birthday (mine) and we were in Denmark at that time.

The food was awsome, as always. Not to say my girlfriend is pretty envious that i like cinas food soo much. And we got a cinamon roll, which was pretty good as the previous batch i got at my birthday is enjoyed and long gone. But i am a sucker for mexican food. So it was a cheap trick to throw at me even though i think the food was arround 4,5 Better than average with a little twist. But with room for emprovement. (Not bad considered it was food made for 11 people)

Tuva got fitness on a can, the high ground of the evening was the fitness game for WII as everyone had fun trying it and laughing at those who tried it. Beside that all in all a good evening.

Got something fixed, before i went to bed. I was like a tasmanian devil in the kitchen, and got some vacuumcleaing done too. Though in the heat of the battle i managed to break some little plastic thing off the vacuumcleaner.

Migration from Access to MySQL is now Complete.

Along with a full backup of both blog and database.

Now you might think why should i care? Basicly if you are a regular reader you might have discovered that the blog wasn\'t running stable. Sometimes the blog wouldnt show. But now by swiching, debugging is easier along with where there was resources for 20 connections. Not good as there was arround 24 users daily and i can say there is arround 3 connections per page, and the code i got for the blog wasn\'t properly written not all of them were closed. But anyways the real difference is that the blog should be available all the time now!

To Complete the collection of games i look forward too, we need Diablo 3, It looks like that blizzard have pulled them selves together this time. It looks good and from what i can see about the gameplay it is gonna get a good feel to it. I hope they figure out a way to prevent it from just being "click click click" all the way through like the other games became in the end. - Not that it is a bad thing ... i just mean there is a limit to how much clicking you can do for 5 hours without break. Anyways enjoy this trailer.

Space Marines The Video Game- Wow!

Awsome fable 3 is comming out before i even had my chances with the second. Anyways enjoy the trailer.

We decided on a name for her. Our beloved BOZ08 (Former known as BOZO) We decided that she should be called "Terna" I have some pictures of her sails some where and i will make sure that they get in this blog post. I will write another one with links to this one when it happens.

There is still a lot of stuff to do

with her. And im basicly spending every minute i can at the marina. I have startet to take pictures of the progress. To show how it looks now and how it looked then. There was for example a hole in the back that have been covered by tape, that i now filled with glassfiber cloth and sparkeled out and i startet polishing it down so it have the same surface height. Another thing that have an urgent need to be fixed specially now we are getting close to the winter is the windows that have been leaking the whole summer harbouring water in to the boat.

Power Test:

This is an Image Power test to test the backends ability to make small and fast image galleries. Though i hope for later to be able to make a plugin that should do the process much faster. The images ive chosen is with random character pictures that follows with the dungeon and dragon 4th edition character generator.

This image test is gonna be made without tests to the images but later i might do some more work to it. If it works out as expected i will post some pictures of the boat.

Editor Implementation Complete: Ok it took a few hours but considered that i didn't know how the editor was build and how to do it i think that it was a nice speed. Everything in this editor should speed up the process of writing new blog post and make them look more readable and nice to the people and search engines. (Most important people since 95% of my vissits come from people).

There is still a few things to do before i continue. I need to backup the entire blog from backend to front end to database. And then i slowly needs to integrate the source code to be running on MySQL, but to make it easier ill make a list.

• Backup, of everything.
• MySQL, implement other database.
• Move to blog.magic-mouse.dk
• Convert source code slowly to .Net for better support.
• Develop Portal for www.magic-mouse.dk

That is the future prospects of the blog. Allso i will play with the posibility to make small galleries postable on the blog as the new backend editor supports that option.

As about half my readers wouldn't know because as i earlier explained that most my readers read via My RSS Feed

I've been redecorating today. I got rid of the poop colors and it looks a bit lighter and more readable now. I allso cheated with the background and added a frame to it, so it shows where one post ends and where the other one starts.

Tonight if i get the time i will add a new backend editor to the site so it gets more readable and easier to edit to the posts. But because i dont have made the site my self there might come some complications to the process.

Beside that i have noticed that the site drops alot because my tiny Access backbone cant support the 10 readers a-day i have. So that need to be moved to the MYSql i have attached to the site. And that would be a bigger process.

Another plan for the site is to move the blog to blog.magic-mouse.dk in near future, and convert the front page to a "portal" for my websites as my number of sites have expanded to the double since last year (from one to two).

The site will then support news from the entire network insted of just working as a blog. Don't worry you will still be able to access the blog from the front page. It just gets "A click away"

That was a bit of the plans for the future - Have a nice day :)

As i wrote in Monopoly to Trains the swedish trains arent making sense.

But the swedish commuters are like insane. At T-Centralen (Central station stockholm) An average of 4 minutes between trains and still people are squeasing them selv through the closing doors with the hazard of their lives for 4 minutes. (Or if they only needed 1 stop it would be 2 minutes)

Seriously swedish people get a grip

I have a small rule that i shouldnt write about the future.
Today im gonna break that rule.

Today is gonna be a good day Im rested and peak, ready for wokring a whole day.

It is a bit dificult where the boat is stationed because there is a small island covering for the wind.

Well we took the chance and went out which turned out to be an excelent idea. The first roughly 2-3 miles the wind was calm and we had a bit of trouble locating the rear wind.

We should have a larger sail area from the direction we were sailing and i guess with the experience i get someday i will be better at judging the sail to the weather but i decided to take the ordinary sail because "Better safe than sorry".

Anyways we went out and turned arround at siarö fortet because as clumsy as i am i fogot the maps so i didnt want to go and explore new unknown areas. I liked to sail in areas where i could remember how the ground and water was looking out below me.

All in all it was a nice trip and on the way home we reached 2 waves on the boat that means somewhat between 6-8 knot. Taken the class of the boat it is a pretty nice speed as the top speed is considered to be somewhere between 8 and 9.

• First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure.
• In fact, I wanted to be John Cleese and it took some time to realize the job was in fact taken.

If a woman leaves some of the dishes it is because she thinks. "Maby my boyfriend will take the rest."

If a man leaves some of the dishes it is because he is a pig!...

I learned that :D
