Bee portrait

How do you like your bee? Today I've got two versions that differ a bit in colour and focus. Which one do you prefer?

Punycode Squirrelmail Plugin

I've extended Javier Wilson's punycode SquirrelMail plugin to allow logins with non-US letters. I.e, test@bÃ¥t.no will be translated to [email protected] and use that for login. If it is of use to you, you can download version 0.2.2N.

With love from me to you

Today I'm starting a little series of 18 pictures called "Flowers & Bees". First one out I sent to my girlfriend, called With love from me to you. All the pictures are taken either in my mums garden or the playingfield next to it. This particular one is from the field, and as you can see me and my lens were quite bombarded with pollen by the time this picture was taken. It would have been nice if the picture was more focussed, at 1/100 second it was still to shaky for my 100mm macro and a 2x converter.

New lenses coming

I'm looking forward to trying out the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens I ordered today. I finally found a review of it, and it sounds good. After reading a bunch of reviews of the Tamron 28-75, I've decided that it'll replace my trusty Canon 28-80mm f/3.5-4.5.

Open fileformats mandated by the Norwegian government

Our right wing government has finally done something right: it's mandating the use of open fileformats. This has long been demanded by The Socialist Left Party of Norway.
