A few days ago I saw a video showcasing Windows 8. I think it’s a week or two old but to me it was news. (You can watch the video here.)
I must admit I am a bit impressed. It’s been a long time since I used Windows a lot, and an even longer time since it was my one and only operating system. However, this demo really got me curious. I’ll most likely not switch back to Windows, but I see a silver lining for Windows as a platform, even greater that the light in the tunnel that Windows 7 seems to be.
After watching the video from the WWDC keynote I must say OS X Lion shows great promise. However it seems like most multitouch gestures are backwards compared to the same functions today. That means it will probably take something like a week to get adjusted and back in the flow. Well, that’s what holidays are for.
The brilliant podcasting site/company/network 5by5 released a new show about mobile computing two days ago. I will check it out right now.
Check out http://5by5.tv/criticalpath/ or its RSS-feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/criticalpath.
For the past weeks I’ve been using Adobe Connect quite a bit, and the fact that it drains my battery and makes my computer hot as a frying pan pisses me off. More whining is likely to come.
I’ll have to admit that I’m impressed by a lot in this video about Windows 8. http://j.mp/mNiQ1u
Yes, this is indeed a new blog. For the past years I’ve been running a combined blog, personal website and company website at henrikcarlsson.se. The blog mixed personal posts with company related posts, web stuff with sound engineering and everything mixed with the occasional release of a song written and recorded by me. Needless to say things have been a bit messy.
Last summer I made a big attempt at clearifying what was what by a site redesign and by making more use of categories in my CMS (WordPress.org). It sort of worked. For the reader it was hopefully clear that different content belonged to different parts of the site, however to me it was still messy. I felt I had problem structuring the things I wanted to write. It was hard to really find an appropriate category for much of the techy stuff. My interest in the site and the old blog has also faded a lot the last six months.
My solution? Start over!
So here we are. A fresh blog with at fresh design. It will from now take over as the place for my mostly tech related musings. My posting will most likely be very sporadic so I highly recommend you subscribe to my RSS-feed or start following my feed twitter account, @synvila_RSS.
If you are a previous reader of my old blog you will also noted that I’ve now chosen a different language. I’m born and raised in Sweden so my native language is Swedish, however in a vain attempt to gain more readers I’ve decided to write this blog in English, hence some poor grammar here and there.
For now the old site and blog will remain at henrikcarlsson.se, but is will change some time during the summer. The company part will likely be moved to another domain, the music will find it’s own place and this blog will most likely be what ends up on the henrikcarlsson.se frontpage.
As you’ve probably already seen there is no comments section available on this blog. This might be subject to change but right now it is not a priority to get a lot of short comments. Trackbacks on the other hand will be displayed shortly, so if you want to comment something, feel free to do it from your own blog. If you don’t have a blog, you are also free to e-mail me (address can be found in this pages footer).
This blog, and especially the theme that powers it, is very much a work in progress. This means you as a reader will probably see some minor changes in design and features as the blog grows older. I’ve chosen to do this while the site is live instead of waiting to release it until everything is finished an meticulously tested. I hope it’s more fun this way.
So with that said, I now declare my new blog officially opened.
Nu var det (som vanligt) alldeles för länge sedan jag bloggade. Sist jag skrev ett inlägg så berättade jag om en pågående omkodning av sidan, som ändå skulle se ungefär likadan ut för dig som läsare. Så blev dock inte riktigt fallet. Istället har jag startat en helt nu blogg där jag till största delen kommer skriva om teknikrelaterade saker. På denna blogg kommer jag dessutom att skriva på engelska.
Så utan att säga så mycket mer så välkomnar jag dig till den nya bloggens adress henrikcarlsson.se/techblog.
Förra helgen, i samband med #daladevelop (som jag skrivit om tidigare) så fick jag en impuls att göra några små förändringar i utseendet på den här bloggen. Detta ledde till en större insikt; HTML- och CSS-koden till det nuvarande temat på bloggen är skrivet av en galning!
Galningen i fråga är jag. Sidan växte fram designmässigt och kodmässigt samtidigt. Detta att designa i webbläsaren är ett väldigt bra arbetssätt för mig som aldrig varit bekväm i Photoshop, men när det är så planlöst som det var den här gången så blir resultatet en rejäl kodsörja. Därför bestämde jag mig för att koda om allt.
Designen kommer vara den samma, med undantag för de små ändringar som fick mig att påbörja det hela, men all bakomliggande ska skrivas om. Det kommer att leda till att sidan blir mera lätthanterlig för mig och troligtvis mera snabbladdad för er besökare. Jag ska även se över hur väl den anpassar sig till mindre skärmar.
Under några timmar på lördagen så hann jag halvvägs i mitt arbete, så nu gäller det bara att få loss lite mera tid så borde det hela snart vara klart.
Den senaste tiden har jag jobbat med en hemsida som heter Prinsessans Rockband. Prinsessan är en barnbokskaraktär som i sin senaste bok återförenar sitt gamla rockband. Min gamle vän Johan Eckman står tillsammans med bokens författare Per Gustavsson för musiken och texterna. Johan har även spelat in, producerat, mixat och mastrat skivan.
Ett eller flera längre blogginlägg där jag skriver om olika intressanta delar i hemsidaskapandeprocessen kommer följa detta inlägg.

Henrik Carlsson's Blog
19 juni, 2011 21:07[…] In this blogs very first post I mentioned how I tried to differentiate the various projects I’ve got going. This blog should be my main blogging platform for tech related stuff, with the occasional guest appearance of my other interests. The part of my old web site that was dedicated to my small one-man business was to be moved to another location. Also my music [would] find it’s own place. The time for this place-finding is now. […]
