Dagbladet

Today there is an article about media centers in the norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. They have asked me about different solutions and give a quick overview of what all this is about.

I will also attend to a net meeting at dagbladet.no on tuesday 14th at 1300 CET. This meeting will be in Norwegian.

Please also feel free to post any questions or comments on this post in my blog.

To make it easier for Dagbladet’s readers I will give you a quick roundup of some media center links and advice:
– The complete list of software solutions
– A quick roundup of some of the systems I have tried
– An update with links to other articles as well
– Converting DVR-MS files from your media center
– Placeshifting, your media everywhere!
– Remote control your music collection in MCE
– Everything in the HTPC category

Update:
The Goatse joke was already taken, so I chose to wear my BoingBoing tee. 🙂

Link to the story on dagbladet.no (Thanks, Jon)

Mykle eBay

A friend of mine has just put the space for his MSN Display Picture up for sale on eBay.

He is selling the space for the rest of 2006 and the highest bidder will be able to place an ad in the space. You will reach his 50 MSN friends on a daily basis. As he puts it in the auction:

This is a new and great opportunity for one-to-one marketing !

I have over 50 active friends in my msn and I actively talk to many of them each day ! My friends are in the typical generation X segment and might be hard to reach with traditional channels. Another thing with my friends is that thay are highly educated and have a high income.

Okay, he is selling a private piece of ad space. But, is he selling his friends? Should I be angry as one of those 50 persons that will be the target for this ad?

…I don’t think so, but the idea and the auction is interesting and I will for sure see how this turns out.

Link to the auction: “My Display Picture” in MSN is for sale!

Update:
And this is how it looks like on my computer when Mykle logs on right now. If you buy this ad space you will have your logo exposed on 50 computers each time Mykle logs on…

One year in pictures

I have now posted all the original pictures that I used to make my little time lapse experiment.

Who knows? There might be more creative ways to utilize 46 pictures of the same frame taken over one whole year…?

The pictures I have posted are the ones that I have adjusted to show the exact same framing. Unfortunately I lost the EXIF-information while editing the pictures in Photoshop. I used layers and didn’t plan my work good enough. All the pictures ended up with the EXIF info from picture number one…

If there’s any interest I can post the original files from the camera as well. They’re not perfectly adjusted, but have the original EXIF-info. In other words, they are stamped with the exact time and date taken.

For the people that want to make flash animations, print outs, web sites and whatever, here are the links:

1. Gallery with all the pictures, possibility for single picture download

2. All the pictures in one 90 MB ZIP-file
