+ <description><p>For en stund tilbake gikk nyheten om
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Island,_New_Caledonia">Sandy
+Island</a>, en øy som var dukket opp på noen kart, men som ikke var
+synlig når en sjekket den på satellittbilder. Dagbladet meldte for
+eksempel at
+"<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/11/22/nyheter/google_maps/google/utenriks/ninternett/24496816/">denne
+øya finnes på kart, men ikke i virkeligheten</a>". Noe senere begynte
+jeg å lese
+<a href="http://www.gyldendal.no/Barn-og-ungdom/3-6-aar/Den-store-Ruffen-boken">historier
+om Ruffen</a> til mine barn. Dette er historier om sjøormen Ruffen
+skapt av Tor Åge Bringsværd, som starter med følgende beskrivelse:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«Langt ute i havet ligger en mystisk øy. Den er bare synlig hver
+tirsdag og fredag. Derfor står den ikke på noe kart. På denne øye
+ligger et slott, og i slottet bor en gammel, fin sjøormfamilie.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Det virker åpenbart at Hr. Bringsværd tok feil når han trodde den
+ikke var på noe kart, og at noen tydeligvis har vært i nærheten en
+tirsdag eller en fredag og fått den med på et kart, mens
+satellittbildene er tatt på noen av de fem andre dagene i uka og
+dermed ikke ser øya. :)</p>
+
+<p>I følge
+<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/12/03/nyheter/sandy_island/forskning/utenriks/24662158/">en
+senere artikkel i Dagbladet</a> hevder Shaun Higgins, en forsker fra
+New Zealand, at et hvalfangstskip fra 1876 er opprinnelsen til at
+spøkelsesøya i det hele tatt havnet på kartet. Det fremgår ikke fra
+historien hvilken ukedag de var innom.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg har stor sans for Tor Åge Bringsværd. Han viste nylig en svært
+fin side av seg selv da han sa ja til EFNs forespørsel om å gi ut
+novellen <a href="http://www.efn.no/kodemus/">Kodémus</a> med Creative
+Commons-lisens.</p>

+ <title>Isenkram 0.2 finally in the Debian archive</title>

+ <description><p>Today the <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram">Isenkram
+package</a> finally made it into the archive, after lingering in NEW
+for many months. I uploaded it to the Debian experimental suite
+2013-01-27, and today it was accepted into the archive.</p>
+
+<p>Isenkram is a system for suggesting to users what packages to
+install to work with a pluggable hardware device. The suggestion pop
+up when the device is plugged in. For example if a Lego Mindstorm NXT
+is inserted, it will suggest to install the program needed to program
+the NXT controller. Give it a go, and report bugs and suggestions to
+BTS. :)</p>

- <title>Frikanalen - Complete TV station organised using the web</title>

- <description><p>Do you want to set up your own TV station, schedule videos and
-broadcast them on the air? Using free software? With video on demand
-support using
-<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and
-open standards</a>? Included a web based video stream as well? And
-administrate it all in your web browser from anywhere in the world? A
-few years now the Norwegian public access TV-channel
-<a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a> have been building a
-system to do just this. The source code for the solution is licensed
-using the GNU LGPL, and
-<a href="http://github.com/Frikanalen">available from github</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The idea is simple. You upload a video file over the web, and
-attach meta information to the file. You select a time slot in the
-program schedule, and when the time come it is played on the air and
-in the web stream. It is also made available in a video on demand
-solution for anyone to see it also outside its scheduled time. All
-you need to run a TV station - using your web browser.</p>
-
-<p>There are several parts to this web based solution. I'll mention
-the three most important ones. The first part is the database of
-videos and the schedule. This is written in Django and include a REST
-API. The current database is SQLite, but the plan is to migrate it to
-PostgreSQL. At the moment this system can be tested on
-<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/">beta.frikanalen.tv</a>. The
-second part is the video playout, taking the schedule information from
-the database and providing a video stream to broadcast. This is done
-using <a href="http://www.casparcg.com/">CasparCG from SVT</a> and
-<a href="http://www.mltframework.org/">Media Lovin' Toolkit</a>. Video
-signal distribution is handled using
-<a href="http://www.ob-encoder.com/">Open Broadcast Encoder</a>. The
-third part is the converter, handling the transformation of uploaded
-video files to a format useful for broadcasting, streaming and video
-on demand. It is still very much work in progress, so it is not yet
-decided what it will end up using. Note that the source of the latter
-two parts are not yet pushed to github. The lead author want to clean
-them up a bit more first.</p>
-
-<p>The development is coordinated on the
-<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23frikanalen">#frikanalen IRC
-channel</a> (irc.freenode.net), and discussed on
-<a href="http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/frikanalen">the
-frikanalen mailing list</a>. The lead developer is Benjamin Bruheim
-(phed on IRC). Anyone is welcome to participate in the
-development.</p>

- <description><p>Dr. <a href="http://www.stallman.org/">Richard Stallman</a>,
-founder of <a href="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a>,
-is giving <a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/">a
-talk in Oslo March 1st 2013 17:00 to 19:00</a>. The event is public
-and organised by <a href="">Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG)</a>
-(where I am the chair of the board) and
-<a href="http://www.friprog.no/">The Norwegian Open Source Competence
-Center</a>. The title of the talk is «The Free Software Movement and
-GNU», with this description:
-
-<p><blockquote>
-The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users' freedom to
-cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
-developed the GNU operating system, typically used together with the
-kernel Linux, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The meeting is open for everyone. Due to space limitations, the
-doors opens for NUUG members at 16:15, and everyone else at 16:45. I
-am really curious how many will show up. See
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/">the event
