i have a soft spot for “single serving website” (i.e. websites that provide only one single piece of information). a few months back i had an idea for one of those pages – using it as a way for me to learn a few things, i wasnt able to get it to work out but this time i was able to get another idea from 0 to working in a few hours.

it can be difficult to remember exactly when all the super markets close here in helsinki – all sundays in spring they are closed, then they open up – but not the next sunday after that (as its finnish mothers day). then they open up again. can cause some confusion.

a few hours spent messing with phpicalendar, its template, css and javascript files. its not perfect, its not even all that useful to pretty much everyone on the planet – but thats what the internet is all about. ishelsinkiopen.com

gloriousily fed up with music as of late. i took to clearing off several gb of music from itunes. after five years of using last.fm i actually started to use the last.fm recommendation station that it had waiting for me. fantastic stuff. as are the mixes on kinosport.tv (a recent import into the world of helsinki)

so ireland are playing a soccer match right now, im not much of a sports person – but i thought whilst i was looking at rte.ie i might aswell see what the score was (the match is on going)

(more…)

i could very easily get completely addicted to tumblr. look! xplanes!

tonight in helsinki placebo play a concert. 602 people going to that concert have joined the concerts event page on last fm.

as of right now last.fm has 36,658 members in finland (population of 5,2 million) – ireland has 6,072 members (population of 4,1 million)
