If you read this post, or maybe the FAQ on the about-page you probably know that the blog you’re reading is one of a triumvirate consisting of Parallax Denigrate dealing with tech stuff, Sleep Furiously dealing with mental hygiene and United States of Martin which collected the posts from the two in one “catch-all” site.

This took some effort to get to work properly, which has the effect on me that I get even more hell-bent on getting it done. And I succeeded with my endeavor if nothing else. However, the idea was flawed in its nature. First off; Separating content like this is what categories are for. Secondly; I never really wrote enough on Sleep Furiously for it to warrant a blog of its own. Thirdly; The maintenance needed to keep this project afloat was arduous. Whenever I wanted to update WordPress that became a substantial pain in the ass and I’m OCD enough that it really bugs me to see that “WordPress ‘better version than yours’ is out. Please upgrade.” every time I log in.

In short; it was fun but now it’s over. This means that If you were reading the Sleep Furiously or United States of Martin feeds you will need to change those to the feed from Parallax Denigrate.

So far the blog is mainly about coding and such, but there will be a category more resembling the posts at Sleep Furiously for whenever I do get around to writing about that part of my life.

I’m sure this won’t affect many of you, but again: This is the last post you’ll see on Sleep Furiously and United States of Martin. Those domains will be put to better use in the future.

That is all.

Every once in a while in between loads of spam ¹ someone adds a thoughtful comment on a blog. Nothing particularly interesting to other readers perhaps, just a “Good job”, “Well put” or “Thanks for sharing”. It’s a wonderful thing to anyone that ever puts a bit of heart into a post and if you’re anything like me (and why wouldn’t you be?) you treasure these comments. We raise our voice, sadly, more often in disapproval than support, and the friendly nod or encouraging smile that is so inexpensive to give and so valuable to receive in meatspace is fraught with barriers on the internet. You may agree with someone in a heated discussion but not wish to get involved or publicly make a stand in the matter. You may not want to register or leave your email or you may just feel that wording your approval is too much of a hassle.

Call me a sucker for praise or an insecure sissy if you will, but there’s no denying the basic human need of positive feedback from your peers. Don’t take my word for it, take Maslows.

And that’s all I have to say about that.¹

Probably only interesting if you’re based in Norway (yet, who knows?), but I thought I’d give you all a heads up that FUGN – Flash User Group Norway is starting up again after a lengthy summer vacation.

The first meeting is this coming monday, and the details can be found at the FUGN website (^^). If you’re Oslo-based; Get your ass over there.

Perpetrating some hackery on my iPhone I stumbled over my custom generated dictionary file. I found a odd sort of pleasure in the fragmented and / or randomly constructed phrases it contained. Since I’ve nothing else to contribute with today, I’ll share it with you. No I have not been drinking.
