Short life

May 11th, 2006 Jacken No comments

A couple of weeks ago, when at the vacation house at Ã…land, a guy I known for a number of years came by for a visit. He looked really horrible. He travelled all the time from Poland to Ã…land to make some money for his family. And a lot of people took advantage of him, giving him little money for really hard work. He put his daughter through dentist school by genuine hard work. Anyway, he complained about an backache that he’s been having for a couple of weeks. He could hardly get into the car when leaving.

Yesterday they found him dead in his small house he was renting. A couple of his friends had come to visit him, and when they came back from a small fishing trip, he was dead.

Life is short and unfair sometimes.

Update: I just got a mail from my sister. He apperantly hanged himself from an apple tree in his garden.

Great source for CSS ideas

I found the site CSS Library, a great source for CSS code snippets and ideas. Fits me perfectly because I’m working on a Drupal site for work, and this comes in handy.

Updated blog

I just uploaded an updated version of my site. There’s a lot of stuff still to fix, like old pictures in the wrong sizes etc. The same goes for the movie pages. But at least I finally installed WordPress 2.02.

Chitica no more…

After I decided to install Chitika, I managed to make a small amount of cash from this blog. But after they added Europe as a region, the pay per click has dropped drastically. So much infact, that I now are about to remove them all togheter. So I’ll fill out the empy spaces with GoogleAds instead.

Starting my new job tomorrow!

May 2nd, 2006 Jacken No comments

I’m a bit nervous, I haven’t been working for someone for quite some time. And as usual Im in ultra high work mode, wich means I’m going to have a hard time sleeping.

The company needs a CMS system for one of their projects, so I have looked at different alternatives like Drupal and Mamba. I must say that Mamba looks nicer, but I have a feeling that Drupal is the way I should go. Hopfully I’ll have time to evaluate them both tomorrow.

So wish me luck tomorrow
