I’m a bit late with the second part of the PHP_CodeSniffer series. I have had lots of stuff to do at work and at home this week, so I’ll hopefully get to finish the post this week. The fact that the weather keeps getting warmer (which also makes the beer seem colder) may also be a part of the problem…
Cheers!
So I was going through my RSS feeds to see if there was something interesting, and then I found something on Digg: Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History (VIDEO).
I played a lot with Lego when I was a kid. I loved the town sets and the castles. I remember building up and taking it down again just so I could build it up once more. I wish I knew better when I was a kid and had taken better care of all the stuff I had. Looking at this video actually made me shed a tear. So yeah … I’m a sucker for Lego’s.
I just read about something called 123-meme on oterbloggen. What’s that, you ask?
The book closest to me is actually a book I have borrowed from Jo Christian (that linked me). It’s called Bringing Down the House and it’s about some MIT students that teams up and learns how to count cards and uses that to win millions of dollars from casinos. Here are the sentences:
‘Good luck with your third round,’ she said, before numbly walking away. Kevin watched her go. Then he gathered up his briefcase and headed for his gate.
Last I have to drag some other people into this as well. I can only think of two names at the moment so I’ll link those: Mats, Shahar.
At work I’ve been using the HTTP Method in Pidgin to connect to the MSN Messenger service because of some rules in our firewall. Since the firewall is not that stable I was disconnected all the time which was kinda annoying. A coworker gave me a tip on just setting up the MSN account in Pidgin to connect to MSN via a SOCKS proxy. Since I have a computer running Linux at home with a decent enough connection I opened up a proxy from my machine at work to my home computer just using the bind-port option of the ssh command:
ssh -v -D 1080 -C <user>@<host>
Now all connections on port 1080 on my machine at work will be forwarded to my home computer.
The -v option generates some debug messages so the connection doesn’t time out. I’m not really sure if this is needed, but it doesn’t hurt to enable it.The -C option enables (gzip) compression.
The last thing that must be done is to change the MSN account in Pidgin to use localhost:1080 as SOCKS proxy (see image below)
I can’t remember being disconnected a single time after I did this. :)
I’m not sure why, but I really hate it when I have to leave a message on somebody’s answering machine. Whats even worse is when I get a message myself… It sometimes freaks me out.
I did try to remove that feature from my mobile phone subscription but only the administrators of the phone stuff at work is allowed to do that and I don’t think “because it freaks me out” is a good enough excuse to have it disabled! :p
Don’t you just hate it when you suddenly loose all motivation to do just about anything?
Yesterday I drove around looking for Lillebjørn, and I found her! She was very thin so it does not look like she has had too much to eat since she disappeared.
When she got home she ate loads of food and then went to sleep in my bed. :) It’s nice to have her back. Stratos seemed happy about it as well.
Lillebjørn

One of my two cats is missing. She has been gone for almost a week now. Stratos (The other cat and Lillebjørn’s daughter) is acting all weird. She is probably worried and misses the company. Hopefully she will come back soon.
I have had Lillebjørn for about 7 years now and it’s weird to now have her around.
It’s been a while since my last blog now! I guess I’m just plain lazy! :)
The last week has not been that nice. Last sunday I got food poisoning at a lunch place in Oslo. :( I am starting to feel better now though, and I am really looking forward to getting back to work on monday. I am so tired of just walking around in the house and feeling like shit.
I am thinking about getting myself an xbox 360 as an early christmas present this year. I have always loved playing games, but the last couple of years I have not had the time to play that much. Hopefully I will do some more playing if I get the new xbox. If I buy it I will have to get Gears of War and Splinter Cell as well. I have always loved the Splinter Cell games, and Gears of War looks awesome!
Thats it for now!
