Tired of having your ftp server filled up with files that your friends or colleagues have to download? That is why we have realized FileCentral.se . You can send large files up to 2GB free of charge and it is very easy to use. You just register your self, enter the e-mail address of the recipient and upload the file and BOOM, an message is sent to the recipient with the link to download the file. The file is removed automatically after 5 days so you don't have to clean up! And since our servers are based in Sweden (Stockholm), it is extremely fast if you live in Scandinavia and want to " skicka stora filer " !! Cool, isn't it? Give it try.

I did it, I run my first Lidingöloppet. It was very exciting and I was almost crying at the end. Lidingöloppet is a 30 Km run in the woods close to Stockholm. It is famous for being very hard because of the many hills that you have to climb to reach the goal. 5823 The first 20 KM were OK, the incredible adrenaline kick that you get pushes you around with no problem. After the stop in "Grönska", after about 2 hours of race, my right knee started to hurt badly. I was almost thinking to stop. I walked for some minutes and I could start running again, altough it was not the same. Still, I could complete the race with a final time of 3h28'21", time which I' m very proud of!

[fa:p:a=midnattsloppet-2006,id=2235835650,j=l,s=s,l=i] And I mean not for this year. I mean for this life. I always thought that running was a quite boring sport but after the bike accident I had before the summer I had not much to do than run. Initially I started thinking about the 10 km of the Midnattsloppet . I heard about it when I first came to Stockholm, a friend of mine (Alberto Costa) planned to run it. For me looked like something impossible, as I was occupying my time with one cigarette after one ather. When I was in Rotonda this summer I felt that I needed to do something to give a meaning to this summer. And I started running. First 3 or 4 km, then more. First having a lot of pauses then less and less. When I told my girlfriend I was going for the Middnattsloppet and she was like "yeah, right, good luck...", not really believing to my summer project. But the more the time was running the more I was running. Back to Stockholm I went for my first 10 km. I run around...

Italy has won the FIFA WORLDCUP CHAMPIONSHIP for the 4th time. It has been a very exciting championship and you know what it is like to win a championship when you are living abroad? Nothing is like it! I went with a group  of friend to see the match at the Italian club in Nacka. From there, after the match,we moved to Sergelstorg, in the middle of Stockholm where a lot of Italians where alreay there and took a bath in the fountain. Watch the movie !

Tired of the boring javascript slideshow bundled with Menalto Gallery 2, I decided to integrate a nice flash slideshow into its own module. The module is based on the bundled slideshow and on Exposé 4 , "a Flash-based tool which allows you to create eye-catching slide shows of your pictures and videos on the web."

When I got my G5 I was quite frustrated to know that my Nokia 6230 was not supported by iSync and OS X Tiger (neither was the Nokia 6320, as many misspell it :-D). I the current iSync version (2.2), altough, the support has been added! Unfortunately iSync was still reporting the phone as unsupported. After reading this thread on how to use iSync and the Nokia 6230 with an old firmware I found that the phone synchronizes perfectly. Just for your information, the firmware version of my phone is 04.28 which is probably a very old one since I bought the phone when it was quite new on the market and I never updated it. Since now I can sync iCal with the phone, I also have found a nice php script that helps me to publish iCal to my web server so that I can still check my calendar even if I don't have my phone with me. Actually, iCal can push your calendars to a webdav server natively (in its own text-based format). What you need is only a script to render the calendar in a nicer way. ...

Then days ago I was riding my bike on the way to work. I had only ridden for a couple of Km, I was going up the "Albano" hill, just after Stockholm University. I was not very fast but I was not going slow either. A guy in front of me suddenly stopped, he had some problems with his chain. I tried to take over but an other rider came from the other side, I hadn't seen her. I pressed the brakes instinctively, too hard. My front wheel blocked and I flew around it. Luckly for the other riders around me, I did not fall on anybody, limiting the damages. My elbows could not stand the pressure against the stairing wheel and broke. I did not think it was so serious and, after resting for 5 minutes, I went all the way to the office. There I understood that it was better to go and check with the doctors: fracture in both elbows, 4 weeks to recover. I have to stay home for four weeks. Luckly I did not get plasters but I cannot do very much. I got some exercise to do so that the bones...
