I have begun working at Iola, a new company I have started with some friends from Uni. Currently it’s a bit slow as we get everything up and running but it’s going to be a lot of fun once this first fase is over.

I finished my degree about a week ago and has since been enjoying the summer. I’m starting a company in Aalborg with two from my study in about three weeks time.

So I’m back in Denmark. It was very hot on that little island and it seems the heat has followed me all the way back. Anyway I have my first exam of this semester tomorrow so I haven’t been doing much else for the last couple of days than reading up on that material. I wanted to apply the no-X SDL patch (with some modifications) for mmsv2 but haven’t found the time yet. After the exam tomorrow I’ll probably get it done.

I’ve been watching quite a lot of movies lately and not to long ago I rated the 200th movie on imdb (yeah for nice round numbers :)). I really like imdb a lot. It’s very easy to find information about movies and the rating seems to be very fair (well at least most of the time :)). It is a lot better than what you find then looking at the cover of movie at the video store (How anyone can give Brothers Grimm 5/5 stars is really beyond my comprehension ;-)). Here you can see the ratings.

Lawrence Lessig has released one of his recent talks on Google books and fair use for download. The synchronization between the audio and the video is great but I didn’t find the talk as effective in using the visuals as his other talks. But the problem addressed in the talk is interesting as always. Google books is actually a really nice tool to search for things in a book, I wish it had indexed more books.

So what has been up since the last time I blogged? Oh yeah, my project group at the university won a prize in Venture cup (the project is Centiceps File System). We also finished the project for this semester. Sadly I won’t be able to put up the project report as usual since its confidential this time.
