Ok, just a little update on projects.
November I have agreed to help a client with some major updates on their webshop - Synspunkt.com

I made this shop in 2005 and have been updating yearly with new features. Now it is time to expand the webshop so they can sell contact lenses and custom made glasses.
The design will also be changed a bit, and I will try to incorporate multiple languages as it was once before. (more…)

I’m working on a little expansion to a couple of my business related directories.

Integration of Google Maps on all detailpages, if the address have been addded under submission.
I still need to work out the last details, and correct my SOAP requests to get correct getcoding from address -> coordinates.

Development is at 80% atm. and I expect to lauch this feature before jan. 2008 if all goes well.

I have been working on a way to let users rate websites in my directories easy and efficiently, and with a minimum of security to prevent bots from voting.
Finally I am ready to launch an AJAX based rating system that allow visitors to quickly rate a website without any need of refreshing the page or problems with browser security.

For a quick example you can check the detailpage of Kongregate an online gaming community.
There you got a Star Rating function ready to use. (more…)

As a Dane, I have been following Tour de France intense, and yesterdays big news - M. Rasmussen suspended fra Rabobank, and pulled out of the Tour de France while he was in the yellow jersey and stood to win the whole race.

I have been watching TDF for the last 15+ years with great joy, but this scenario has just grown over my head.  (more…)

I have been updating my code a bit with personal tweaks here and there and this resultet in failure on my posts permalinks.

Just to inform any with interest that I am working on solving the issues and the blog will be back to full functionality soon.

Updated July 21:
Ok, everything is back to normal. Used the opportunity to upgrade the blog to the latest build 2.2.
I realised Wordpress had changed the way their trailing is handled and I needed to change that back to what I previously used. I found great help on fixing my permalink trailing slash at YouShouldKnow.com. Install the plugin, and then hit the resource page and follow the easy steps.

If you as me like to remove the /category/ from your permalinks, feel free to jump to my post about it
Experience any problems? Report it to me (more…)

Well, it is time to update the blog a bit and why not use the time to advert for my new regional directory for Cars and Cardealers in Denmark called AutoDin.dk.

Directory is based on my own created directory script and my goal is to be one of the leading car & cardealer directory in Denmark. It will be free to submit auto related sites, but I also offer a featured site solution.
International car magazines can freely submit their site at this category. (more…)

Ok I am back from a very good vacation with my family. We went to the southern Turkey - Marmaris and hit a week with extreme temperatures. We had 56C degrees one of the days and that broke a 27 year record for the area we where in.
I can not complain though, as the weather is the main reason for us to travel down there. (Want to get away from out own rainy/windy summer in Denmark)

A couple of pictures from there:

Excellent Beaches. Felt like a kid again jumping around trying to catch the biggest waves

I will be out of the office from june 23. to july 2. and will enjoy my vacation completely.

No sites will be reviewed in this period on my directories, but I will check my mail for the most urgent matters.

I have been boggeling with thoughts on how to re-code my directory system so it could handle more seo-friendly URL’s for the detailpages.

And yesterday it hit me like a lightning from a clear sky, how I should get this done. 4 hours later and I had it made and it works brilliantly.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, my mission was to make the URL string more readable and unique, and you can se my examples belov (Before / After)

Example of a detailpage url before update:

Example of a detailpage url after update:

So from now on I have the option to give links in the system a unique filename if I want, and will use it on all new links, plus I will update old links in the system as I re-review then over time.

This update has been integrated in the following directories of mine:

• AutoGuide AutoDin 
• SEO Directory
• International Quality Directory
• Directory of Danish Sites
• Denmark Shopping Guide
• Danish Blogs

I am a huge fan of Blizzards Starcraft and must be the game I have spent most hours with online/offline.

This is the most balanced game I know of, and gameplay is in top and very rare to find. And now Starcraft 2 is on its way. Wuhuu.

Found 2 videos from the game and it looks sweeet. Could look like Blizzard did it again!

–Removed videos as they where removed from source–

More information can be found on my directory Starcraft II Unveiled
