Outlook-vinduet kan ikke åbnes

I dislike non-English error messages. So here's my contribution to trouble-shooting Outlook in Danish:

Problem: Outlook gir feilmeldingen "Outlook-vinduet kan ikke åbnes".

Løsning: Kør outlook.exe /resetnavpane én gang.

Moonlight skiing in the Faroe Islands

I wouldn't exactly recommend planning your ski vacation to the Faroe Islands. You never know which few days have enough snow, and when that happens, there is usually also a blizzard. Most people would have to revise their views about what 'enough snow' means, but a few straws through the snow, makes it easier to make out the contours at night.

But if you can do it, do it. It felt surreal - close to the city, but no one around, in a place where skiing is usually impossible.

Troubleshooting Siemens OpenScape software telephone.

The following steps made OpenScape work:

  • Windows Update
  • gpupdate /force
  • Delete all Opticlient and SoftOLA program folders
  • Delete Opticlent from registry

Unfortunately, I did not have the time to find out wich of these steps that made it work.

H71 vs StÍF: 27-27

Uavgjort, i en kamp som var enda mer kaotisk enn aggressiv.

Who are these girls?

Jeg spør som Dimmalætting: Hvem er på bildet?

Performance for a conscious audience.


Normally I'm unconscious while watching a good show. Not in a medical or Freudian sense—in the sense that I do not think about where I am or where I look. My eyes are slaves to the plan of the director and the light designer, I see what they want me to see, look where they want me to.

Not so during the performance of Barbara. A live camera was projected on the screen and there was action at least two places on stage most of the time. I really had to stay 'awake' and look around to see most of the action. This was not a side effect of the camera, the non-camera part of the performance was designed in the same way.

I think I prefer slipping into unconsciousness in the audience. This was a worthwhile experiment, and maybe it's too early to be negative, but so far, I am. That said, they were really good at dancing with the camera. Once, with the camera on the floor, some heads were cut off, that's about it.

(But why was the contrast deliberately killed by projecting extra light on the screen?)

Tórsbreyt, så langt


Tórsbreyt
Originally uploaded by Jan Egil Kristiansen
Jeg var mot å bygge denne løpe­banen, et tåpelig prestisje­prosjekt, utelukkende planlagt for at Heðin Mortensen skulle kunne få The Islands Games til Tórshavn - den eneste effekten på folke­helsa ville bli at under­tegnede fikk et par hundre meter lengre vei å gå til kontoret. Hva er vitsen med en løpe­bane, når det er kilometer­vis med fine stier å løpe på i området?

Jeg tok skammelig feil, Tórsbreyt er en kjempe­suksess. Masse folk har begynt å løpe. Jeg kjenner folk som trener med rullator rundt banen - den triller mye bedre der enn på asfalt. Stiene i nærheten er også mere brukt enn før - jeg møter ofte horder av løpende kvinner når jeg går hjem fra jobb.
