My wife and I went for a little trip to the ZOO in Copenhagen, and we took a few photos!

Examples of text widths in different languages

UI Designers, SHOULD make sure their layouts fit with most languages. But they rarely do!

Don’t forget to consider the size of text in various languages when you design a international user interface.

I am currently attending WordCamp Denmark in Copenhagen, so it’s only fitting that I actually update my main blog again

I have been busy in the WordPress sphere doing loads of blogs and sites for friends and customers. As well as playing around with my community site DroidBuilders.net.

Lately I have been translating BuddyPress into danish and here at WordCamp I have found at least two other people doing the same!! So we are obviously going to get together and merge the translation project into one. – Great!! (and stay tuned!)

I am also in the early start of making a few plugins, and I can’t wait to start using and releasing beta versions on this blog.

So all in all; fear not, I am still a WordPress fanatic! See you soon!

Scary news everybody, our universe might be a 2D hologram.. Twist your minds around that!

… For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time – the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into “grains”, just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. “It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time,” says Hogan.

If this doesn’t blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab’s Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: “If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram.” …
