I clearly did not do enough research before purchasing Spore about a week ago. Turns out the game is heavily protected with an evil DRM. Aparently the game can only be installed 3 times, after that you have to contact EA to unlock more installations and if the game is unable to contact the EA [...]
My open source project, iTunes Agent, recently passed 200.000 downloads! A steady download rate of between 150 and 200 downloads per day shows that the project is still helping a lot of people using their media players with iTunes. I recently brought a new developer on board the project as well. This should speed up [...]
The cinematic trailer for Wrath of the Lich King – the second expansion to the MMORPG World of Warcraft was released yesterday! As usual the animators at Blizzard Entertainment mange to make the hair stand on your back and give you goose bumps all over. I mean, all over! Take a look for yourself. I [...]

I’m giving a talk on this month‘s javaBin Sørlandet meeting, about Continuous Integration and our experiences with this, as a small company. I’ve given the title “Continuous Irritation – continuous integration through love and hate” as it will show how we have been working to turn what felt like a constant obstacle into something positive [...]
Last night I came back from a business trip to Sweden, exhausted and felt mostly like going to bed, but yesterday was the 29th of April – a date most console enthusiasts have been waiting for since many months – the official release date for the new Grand Theft Auto IV! I had pre-ordered the [...]
A few weeks ago a colleague sent me this comic at work. It made me laught, but it also brought a great idea for having a little fun with my dear co-developer, Aleksander: My office is the one on the left… Of course…
Found a great new tool for Linux through Tombuntu.com the other day: Terminator. This nifty little tool enables you split your terminal window into a grid of resizable terminals. I have tested it for a few days now and it’s a bliss! Instead of crowding my workspace and taskbar with terminals I now have them [...]
