I am back from my trip. It was great! 🙂 It was wonderful!

Photos can be found at my Halmstad, Sweden (Set) and the same photos plus link to photos of Tropic Center can be found at Halmstad @ 43 Places.

I am very sad that this trip had an end 🙁

After Google Earth went 3D, now “Stadsman” released “Weather Forecast Today & Tomorrow Central Europe“.

On my browse through Google search results I found a site which offers incredible much downloads for Google Earth called “Google Earth Hacks“.

Many people, including native English speakers, seem not to know what “accus” are.
Well, accus are rechardable batteries 🙂

And I don’t think it’s a Duracell only thing! 🙂

Enjoy!

Browsing a bit the web, I found this:

“How To Ask Questions The Smart Way“. It’s aimed how to ask questions to hackers, but I guess those rules are valid for anybody!

Especially the forum paragraph is rocking. Ala “HELP ME PLEASE!!!” and “Please send answer to my email”.

I would never reply to posts by sending the answer by email. I mean, too much work, I would get mad! 😀

Have fun reading! Heheh! Always ask questions the smart way! 🙂

After the recent toys I had to play with it, now Google Earth Goes 3D!!!

Above is an example of New York’s city!

Enjoy your Google Earth! 🙂

I have written earlier about Harry.

Today, let me convince you, that even you didn’t see all the craziness you can buy nowadays for money!

Here we come: Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans

Here’s what they write:

” The games will begin when everyone experiences the wonderment of NEW flavors such as Spaghetti, Soap, and Earthworm, while enjoying other delicious flavors such as Cherry, Blueberry, and Green Apple. Note: Boxes are randomly assorted and may not contain every flavor.

Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, the jelly bean preferred by Harry Potter, hold 20 mild and wild flavors. Dip into good flavors like Watermelon, Grape Jelly, Toasted Marshmallow, and more, or discover wild flavors like Earwax, Dirt, Grass, and others…”

“Earwax, Dirt, Grass” – Yummy stuff! 🙂
I always wanted beans that taste like dirt or earwax!

also this sounds wonderful:

“Manufactured in a plant that processes peanuts.”

Anybody out there daring to buy and try? 😀

Hahah! 🙂

I have added a new feature as I have seen it at Hailey’s post. It’s 43Places and 43Things

let me quote her a bit about what it is:

“Four cool things about 43Places:

-Like 43Things, it’s based on folksonomy which ensures its powerful simplicity;

-It combines Flickr to provide a visual expression for each place;

-Its creator’s blog runs on textpattern;

Last but not the least. It uses a catchy phrase “where do you want to go?”, similar to Microsoft’s “Where do you want to go today?”. Why do I like it so much? Just see who came up with the slogan.

My comment: it’s a wonderful thing, if only the blogger support would work!
Yep, it doesn’t work!
doesn’t matter if I try to blog an entry I have made in 43places or try to send out a testpost, it simply won’t blog it eventhough it tells me “you have successfully blogged your entry!” 🙁

I have written an email to them, I hope they are fast and replying!

Furthermore I have added “Places I have been” and “Things I am doing” plus my personal map to my sidepanel. Unfortunately I click on Strasbourg link and the following error message appears!:

“Oops… that didn’t work.

Hit the back button and try again.

If that doesn’t work, email us (robotcoop at gmail dot com) with your username and an explanation of what you were trying to do, and we’ll
get to fixing it right away. Thanks! Any status updates on the site will be reported on the Robot Co-op Blog.”

This thing is brand new and still has flaws and problems which I hope they will fix soon! 🙂

But it’s really a cool thing, I swear! 🙂

I have found a workaround for my Technorati formatting problem for Opera and Firefox browsers; Put the embended Technorati code into an invisible table! Unfortuantely doesn’t work on MSIE, but this browser sucks anyway! 😛

I hope they can put a < br > tag between “Search this blog” and the search field
