Apparently my new DSL and a working phone line are mutually exclusive, so given the choice I opted for internet rather than phone. It will be back on the 16th when the VoIP transfer comes through. Only cell phone if you need to get in contact with me :-(

Yesterday I volunteered to become webmaster for the Kungfu club. It's half off of the monthly training fee (DKK 300 -> DKK 150) and since I only need to do minor updates to the site this is quite a bargain! Of course, those who know me will know that I probably can't resist making a few changes - the design is a bit out-dated, and it would be neat with some more user interaction.

Other than that, I've got a busy schedule these days. Lots of Birthdays (including Kimie's!) and a trip to Norway and a polterabend just to mention the most pressing appointments.


What else... oh yeah! You should seriously check out this link www.crypticsea.com, the Bridge Building Game. Given a budget of $X build a bridge across a gap strong enough for a train to pass. The bridge is of course subject to the usual rules of physics (eg. Gravity) and building a successful bridge is actually a bit harder than you would think.

I know, It sounds a bit nerdy and the graphics are ... well, uninspiring, but the game play is extremely catching. You start out with a "is that it?!?", progress to a "wtf? Why doesn't that work" and you end up spending hours refining your design and cutting costs in order to beat your colleagues. In the end you might even gain some bridge engineering expertise (ok, -understanding).
