This is Eirik Solheim’s prize winning experiment. I use this page to share information about media, marketing, technology, photography and stuff I find important. I have been running this page since 2003. And since I started using Statcounter in 2005 more than 1.5 million people have visited my site.
It is important that you understand that this blog is my own space. The opinions and content that I publish here should not be read as official opinions of my current or my former places of work!

I use it to experiment with web technologies and to get in touch with interesting and intelligent people from all over the planet.
I have read somewhere that the most successful blogs out there have many short posts. Well, eirikso.com will never be successful. I am going to keep on posting few, relatively long posts. Basically, I try to concentrate on quality, not quantity.
There are already insane amounts of information out there, why should I bother you with something that I didn’t find seriously interesting? If you choose to subscribe to my feed I will not overload you with posts. When something shows up, it should be interesting.

I have enabled comments on this “About this site” to let people ask questions about my plugins and about the site.
…and by the way, the template for comments on pages that works with the Kubrick theme in Wordpress was something that I found here: How to make a Guestbook in Wordpress
Have you read “The Long Tail” book you currently have in your recommended reading section? I just took a look at this today and was thinking of picking it up myself.
Yes, I have read it and can really recommend it if you’re interested in the future of media and retail.
Thanks for the tips on what plugins you’re using. One of those that I’d like to use, that I wasn’t aware of earlier is the random banner plugin. I think that’s cool. Just makes the site less boring with new images every now and then.
The best way to stop spam would be to spend some time in moderating the comments persoanlly rather than relying on any captchas. You can go to the other extreme of not allowing anyone to comment - but then the whole essence of sharing information is lost. At least Yahoo and MSN rewards the commentators with relevant backlinks, so that is a reward which many spammers like to go for.
The combination of Spam Karma and Akismet stops most of it. I have to take care of the rest manually.

Have noticed that you have removed the “HTPC” interest from your “summary” of your sites content. Is there any reason to this change? Have been trying - the last year or so - to get some kind of grip aout this theme.
But the more I get involved, read etc. the more I find limitations. There are a lot of different optio, when it comes to software (Windows MCE, LinuxMCE, MediaPortal etc.), but it turns out that they need configurations and don’t just work as plug&play.
Lately I have had some focus on the and LCD-TV. There’s a jungle out there and at the moment I find it hard to chose brand and specs for what I want. There this balance between pris, quality and new specs on it’s way. There’s this tv-evolution, but it’s been set back and are slowly getting infront of CRT-TV’s. This is so ironic! Just so happy that I did not buy a high-end LCD-TV some years ago. Because that would just bring me in the situation where I today would be sitting with a thin crapy TV, that costed me 3-4 times the price of a accepable price tv today. And that tv would have been low-end when it comes specs.
My point is that there has been so many changes since the article with you in Dagbladet (http://eirikso.com/2006/03/09/dagbladet-today/), but the progress is not that remarkable. The software is basically the same and the LCD-TV’s are just begining to get past the CRT i picture quality. The only new is that there’s more competition (price, quality, specs) now than before. Your article is way back from 09.03.2006 I repeat: March 9 2006.
Regardless of this post I like you images and that focus/theme as well! Keep up the good work!
