José Gonzáles @ Kulturkalaset 2010
This summer is flying past in high speed and now when most people have returned from their vacations, Gothenburg has a city celebration. Celebrating culture in its various forms with events for 5 days throughout Gothenburg.

The site got inaugurated yesterday afternoon and artists who played then was José González, Timo Räisänen and Carola.

I’ve set up a small album for Göteborgs Kulturkalas 2010 although just one image in there at the moment.

I think I might have some color problems on my screens, although I am not sure, please, give me a heads up about the colors and I will do some controlling.

Gone Android

Changed phone from a SonyEricsson S500i to HTC Wildfire

How have your summer fanned out so far? The Nordic countries have had a heat wave of great proportions. June have been on average around 25-33 degrees in the bigger cities with loads of sun and July seem to get about the same warmth even if the end of the month seem to get just slightly colder.

And while all this is playing out, I have changed location from Helsinki, Finland to Gothenburg, Sweden for a time.

I have also switched my phone (which was an SonyEricsson S500i) to a Google Android-phone (HTC Wildfire).

Having switched to Android also leaves me to explore the applications out there for it and so far, I have only had the phone for about 5 days admittedly, I am a little disappointed on what is available for it - at least from what I can see by the graphical design in the applications.

I am of course comparing them to the iPhone versions I have seen but is it so that Android isn't leaving much graphical to play with or is there just so few applications out there for Android that the developers doesn't care?

So what is your top 5 applications for Android?

The beginning of the end

“The warned us, all those crazed environmentalists in their goofy hair and weird clothes. They warned us of what was coming. The end of everything.”

This is the start of a comic I am planning out. So far 6 pages have been concepted and almost as many have been put to the final line art. (Click on the image below to see the full picture).

A Child's Joy by Alexander Berglund http://s4pphire.deviantart.com/

And so have an other year passed on the day that I was born. And with a year in review - and the summer started - so far there are many things that are able to be improved.

For example there can be more muffins. From the beginning of December 2009 to end of February 2010, there was 154 muffins eaten. Not a bad feat and that included all sorts of deliciousness in things than just muffins in between too (i.e. delicious tarts and pancakes with all sorts of delicious filling).

As for the professional part things have been slowing down a bit but I still managed to do quite some. I have been tutoring in retouching, photo manipulation and business management. I have also been working and delivering some business work and done something about my portfolio as well as been growing my photographic hobby (see photo on top).

WAsPtechnical, World In A Box and Sandra Rugina and these are just a couple of examples of recent work.

But I intend to speed it up again. There are a few ideas which I hope to realize on the coming half year. Look out!

I have been known to twitter from time to time. They are a bit more frequent than the blog posts but I suppose that’s how it is supposed to be? Suit up!

Save the princess, Orton!

This cute little witty indie game by Fixel incorperates much of the old school games in graphics and is quite charming. Also the game is having a lolly tune going on in the background. The story teller usually comes with… quite fun inputs at time too.

Go see if you can save the princess.

Ash clouds, will it end?

Yes, even here you are to read about a the volcanic ash cloud which has been terrorized whole Europe and soon bits and pieces of the eastern American coastline. Although I wouldn’t drag it as far as the newspapers to discuss what it might have been done to our economy or the which (Europe’s aviation traffic or the volcano) is emitting most CO2, that I leave to all the other blogs out there.

So 8 days of flight restrictions and 2 gamesone game (Eyjafjallajökull Jigsaw Puzzle, Can you say Eyjafjallajökull? [Taken down from it's location it seems]) later, my question to you is rather;

When will there be no more torment of this ash in the sky?

My take on it is that the ash cloud business is done wreaking havoc on Monday (26th of April). When do you think it will end?

Skip through time

It has been about a year since 6 months since I reviewed my blog last. It’s interesting going back in time and see what it used to be back in the days. But it have happened so much since I last wrote.

I’ve previously written mainly in Swedish due to it being a personal blog and I wanted it a bit simple. And why not put it in English as well as to make it available for a larger audience as well as incorporate what I have been doing on my business side too? Ill let you see what’s down the rabbit hole.

Återkommen & SEO

Nu är jag återkommen i Göteborg igen. Efter att inte bara ha varit ute och rest i Europa en månad utan också faktiskt klarat av att vara ute och campat i en oerhört vacker miljö i Rumänien, alldeles mot Svarta Havet.

Nu har jag också lyckats att ändra och se till så att sidan drivs via så kallade “rena länkar”. Detta tack vare ett separat projekt som var tvungen att ordnas med - vilket dessvärre är sekretessbelagt, inte av mig utan av min nuvarande arbetsgivare.

till denna bloggpost kommer man till exempel med hjälp av att skriva “http://blog.draktorget.se/2009/10/aterkommen-seo” och inte bara “http://blog.draktorget.se/?p=43

Trixigt, inte sant? :)

Warszaw

Currently being in Warszaw, typing from an internetcafe. So far, the start has been really tough. Almost missed our train in Hamburg - heading for Berlin, and a long night waiting at the station. Now we are readying ourselves for a day in town and a travel during night to Budapest. Going to be fairly interesting what a city as Warszaw have to offer. Next time I’ll be able to write might be either in Budapest or Romania. Had some pretty nasty wakeup calls I didn’t know regarding my phone about being abroad. But, we are managing so so still anyway.
