Open(?) Mobile Alliance

Open Mobile Alliance requires a paid membership to access most of their technical documentation.

But WAP is sinking - trying to keep the documentation secret, surely doesn't help.

Phishy Apple

Downloading Quicktime from Apple.com redirects me to some subdomain of edgesuite.net. Www.edgesuite.net does not exist, edgesuite.net does not have an IP. It is owned by Akamai - is that supposed to be good enough for me to open the firewall?

Apple downloads should come from the apple.com domain - anything else smells too phishy.

Xerox committed to PDF/A ?

But is Xerox committed to PDF/A? I do have one PDF from a Xerox scanner, failing with Header is not followed by four byte sequence with values greater 127.

Legal parking. But blocking the only road access to Tinganes, the historic part of Tórshavn with the prime minister's offices. A fire engine could probably crash through, but not an ambulance.

Almost makes me miss the tow truck mafia back in Oslo. But I'm not sure they'd dare touch this one - after all, it is legally parked.

I saw my first green flash aboard the Norrøna north of Scotland at sunset 2008-08-20. I was of course too slow to photograph it, so I blog somebody else's photo. (Didn't even have time to call Knut jørgen.)
