Inspired by Atle (who has moved to www.atlefren.net),  I decided to make a dedicated page for my documents. Of course only the one which I’ve put some effort into – and which can potentially be of slight interest to the public.

So – for your pleasure:

Among other things, you can find the “nightly build” of my master thesis. I’m not quite finished yet, so this is sort of a live version of my thesis – it evolves constantly (latest version uploaded every 15.min if changed).

Entering a fascination of B/W photos recently. In an attempt primarily to increase my understanding of graphic composition.  However, I find B/W often restricts the possibilities and by that spawn for more creativity – though I could be wrong:)

All images taken with Nikon D60, lens: 50mm f1/8. They received some post-processing in Lightroom, although surprisingly little:)

[update:] Small bugfix, fixing last eaten and times eaten.

Tools which enable easier decision making is very interesting. GIS is said to be one such tool – however, many exist.

Every day I have to make a vital decision which will inevitably affect my life quality for the rest of the day. Namely, what to have for dinner? Trivial you say? Well, it might be – but still a trivial, vital decision needs to be taken.

Several years into the dinner-decision-making-process I have recognized that some attributes of recipees tend to manipulate the decision:

1. Well known and used recipees tend to be chosen more often than innovative recipes (at least in a hectic week day situation)
2. Time since last eaten is crucial – it the time span is less than some days it ranks poor in the decision making.
3. Suggestions are always appreciated – especially if their from the “well known set”.
4. However, suggestions are not always welcomed. The lack of creativity and part-time memento motivates for listing all well-known recipes and their attributes.
5. Comprehensive recipes are not inspiring – you know how to make them – you just need to navigate to the right one.

In a response to these recognitions I rapidly (almost lightspeed) implemented a system which provides a solution to the decision making problem. To what degree the system will perform in terms of; usefulness, technology acceptance, coding errors – will stand the test of time through comprehensive empirical research – conducted by myself with myself as participant.

Anyway, enough rambling. The point is. I have this problem of dinner decision. I eat dinner everyday. “All” others eat dinner everyday. Well, don’t need to be a Rocket Surgeon (!?) to figure out that probably some other finds use of this.

Thus, the system is open-sourced.

Licenses are probably worth about Ø, however, it is licensed under 

Essentially, do what you like – just give me a pop here if you like it:)

Requirements are; MySQL, PHP – no testing of browser support! (only FF3.0)

What the system supports:

• Automatically wrapping links with <a href>  tags
• Automatically wrapping image links with <img> tags
• Automatically make the first line a header (<h2>)
• Storing when you ate the dinner
• Counting how many times you have eaten the dinner
• Users (very low-level, but still, working)

And for all those wondering. Yes, this is a procrastination work. Master thesis writing is really inspiring – although inspiring in probably not the correct direction :)
