When programming desktop applications I’ve always been a supporter of lazy loading of objects but I’ve never given this much thought when creating websites. Until now.

Yessir, bjornblog has a brand new look and lots of new features!

I’m so excited about my new blog, that I’ve even created a screenshot to teach you how to get the most out of my new design the new theme I installed.

I’ve used Privoxy for several years now and love it. For those of you not familiar with the program it’s basically just a local proxy that you can run your browsers through that will strip ads and make sure your privacy is intact while surfing the net.

One neat thing about it is that it’s very [...]

Found this video on YouTube entitled ‘Xgl Demo’ .. This guy must be running a monster machine, but still – it’s pretty impressive..

I found this great description of the country I live in and my fellow norwegians inside a label of a t-shirt I bought from a clothing company called Moods of Norway.

At last, you can google me (hope I don’t get sued for using Google as a verb) and find bie.no in the index. Let’s hope it’s not temporarily this time.

One strange thing though, they didn’t adhere to my robots.txt file which tells them not to index odp.php – heck, they even threw robots.txt right in [...]

I just called my local travel agency and got a trip to Croatia this Saturnday. Talk about being late .. I’m really looking forward to two weeks in the sun, just my girlfriend and I. And hopefully we’ll meet some interesting people to have a party or two with. I’m not sure where [...]

If you’ve been banned from Google for whatever reason you want to do a reinclusion request. I’ve previously used Matt Cutt’s tutorial, however it seems Google has changed the way one does this. The link Matt mention is no longer there.

The new way is to do it here, from “My Sites”. Yes, that means you [...]
