I’m not really what you can call a a book-reader, I rarely read books. And I think I need to read more of them. The last ones I’ve read is Dan Browns, all the Harry Potter, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and the Lord of The Ring books, and this if over a couple of years. So no, I dont really read that much. I just don’t give it any time, I do other things instead, like, posting a post like this.

I’ve recently bought the book-series of Dexter, I really love the tv-show, but I haven’t really had the time to read them yet. Though I’ve started to read the first one now, and I have soon battle through almost half of it. And I like what I’ve read so far in it. It’s nice to see what you miss in the tv-show. As it often is when a book becomes a movie, they cut away very much.

So that book-pile is my challenge of the year. I know it’s not much, for you maybe, but for me thats like Mount Everest.

For those who can’t understand swedish, the book at the top is Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. Awesome movie, and I’ve read a couple chapters in it, and it’s quite funny aswell.

And if you have any suggestions that might fall into the same categories that the other books I’ve read and that I might like, feel free to share. 

I really, really, really hate that Xbox360 can’t play MKV. I really do.

Here we go again. Now I’m and Arood is developing the new version of W3sidan, 3.0. This version will hold a whole remake of the site. From top to toe. We’re changing from XHTML to HTML5 and to CSS3 and rebuilding every single code behind it.

And while we’re at it, we’re also changing database from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Which for me is a lot of fun. I like playing with databases, most of the time (Except when search-functions which involves a lot of JOINS and Subqueries is involved.). They are quite much alike except for some minor things which I had to experience the other day. By some reason PgSQL doesn’t have the Last_insert_id() function which MySQL have. After a bit of googleing I found a few solutions, the other one better then the other. And I ended up with this:

INSERT INTO table (name, surname) VALUES (‘Erik’, ‘Thunberg’) RETURNING id

and then just make a fetch after the query. And I actually like this one better than Last_insert_id().

We’ll try to have the complete site out of development before july hits us because we’re both going on a social event called Minigeek Camp where we’re going to do some advertisement for the site.

And if you want some sneakpeaks or come with ideas, join us in our IRC-channel #w3sidan at our own IRC-net, irc.w3sidan.net.

Hurray to me, this is my first tumblr-post. I might as well try blog here after Arood have tried to win me over to the dark side for a very very long time.

We’ll see how it goes, now it’s time to try change som settings.
