+ <div class="body"><p><a href="http://no.speling.org/">Den frie norske stavekontrollen</a>
+består av ca. 1,3 millioner bokmåls- og nynorskord. Det er mange
+kilder til ordene, f.eks. den norske ordbanken, norske nett-aviser,
+stavekontrollbrukere og korrekturlesere, og endel feil har sneket seg
+inn i databasen over ord. For å finne og fikse feilene trengs det
+korrekturlesing. Her kommer frivillige inn.</p>
+
+<p>Hvis du vil bidra med korrektur av orddatabasen, kan du melde deg
+frivillig som bokmåls- eller nynorskkorrekturleser og få tilsendt en
+liten bunke ord på epost hver dag, lese over og sende inn på epost
+tilbake til korrekturlesing-systemet. Jo flere som sjekker, jo
+raskere kommer vi igjennom hele databasen. Så langt har vi oppdaget
+341 bokmålsord og 50 nynorskord som ikke skal vært med i databasen.
+Det er nok noen flere. I tillegg har korrekturleserne oppdaget flere
+ord som manglet, og fått lagt dem inn i stavekontrollen.</p>
+
+<p>Hvis du vil bidra, følg instruksene på

+ <div class="date">12th October 2012</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Thanks to a blog post by
+<a href="http://ramblingfoo.blogspot.no/2012/10/a-shitstorm-is-comming.html">Eddy
+Petrișor</a>, I became aware of yet another "alternative medicine"
+company using legal intimidation tactics to scare off critics.
+According to the originating blog post about the detox "cure"
+<a href="http://insulaindoielii.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/colon-help-sues-wordpress/">ColonHelp
+and its producers Zenyth Pharmaceuticals actions</a>, the producer
+sues Wordpress to get rid of the critical information. To check if
+the story was for real, I contacted Automattic, the company behind
+wordpress.com, and they reply was "We can confirm that Zenyth is
+seeking a court order against WordPress / Automattic. However, we
+don't believe the Terms of Service have been violated in this
+matter".</p>
+
+<p>The story seem to be simply that a blogger checked the scientific
+foundation for a popular health product in Rumania, ColonHelp, and
+reported that there was no reason at all to believe it improved the
+health of its users. This caused the company behind the product,
+Zenyth Pharmaceuticals, to use legal intimidation to try to silence
+the critic, instead of presenting its views and scientific foundation
+to argue its side.</p>
+
+<p>This is the usual story, and the Zenyth Pharmaceuticals company
+deserve everyone to know how it failed to act properly. Lets hope the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect">Streisand
+effect</a> can make it rethink its strategy.</p>
+
+<p>What is the harm, you might think. I suggest you take a look at
+<a href="http://www.whatstheharm.net/detoxification.html">a list of
+victims of detoxification</a>.</p>

- <div class="date">20th September 2012</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Jeg ble for noen dager siden tipset om en rapport utarbeidet av
-Cabinet Office i England ved navn
-<a href="http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/test-learn-adapt-developing-public-policy-randomised-controlled-trials">Test,
-Learn, Adapt: Developing Public Policy with Randomised Controlled
-Trials</a>, skrevet av blant annet Ben Goldacre (som jeg først ble
-klar over da han holdt et veldig interessant TED-foredrag med tittel
-<a href="http://archive.org/details/BenGoldacre_2011G">Battling bad
-science</a>). Rapporten handler om hvordan det offentlige burde bruke
-vitenskaplige metoder i større grad for å finne ut hvilke virkemidler
-som er mest effektive når en skal regulere samfunnet. Her er et sitat
-fra starten av rapporten:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the best way to determine
- wheather a policy is working. They are now used extensively in
- international development, medicine, and business to identify which
- policy, drug or sales method is most effective. They are also at
- the heart of the Behavioural Insights Team's methodology.</p>
-
-<p>However, RCTs are not rutinely used to test the effectiveness of
- public policy interventions in the UK. We think they should be.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>Her tror jeg også Norge har noe å lære. Det offentlige bruker mye
-penger på aktiviteter der det ikke er åpenbart (og heller ikke blir
-målt) at den reelle effekten er det en ønsker å oppnå. Ruters
-elektroniske billettsystem, NAV-reformen, økt bruk av penger på
-politiet og sykehussammenslåinger kommer meg i hug.</p>

- <div class="date">17th September 2012</div>
- <div class="body"><p>After a long break in my row of interviews with people in the
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>
-community, I finally found time to wrap up another. This time it is
-Giorgio Pioda, which showed up on the mailing list at the start of
-this year, asking questions and inspiring us to improve the first time
-administrators experience with Skolelinux. :) The interview was
-conduced in May, but I only found time to publish it now.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I have a PhD in chemistry but since several years I work as teacher
-in secondary (15-18 year old students) and tertiary (a kind of "light"
-university) schools. Five years ago I started to manage a Learning
-Management Service server and slowly I got more and more involved with
-IT. 3 years ago the graduating schools moved completely to Linux and I
-got the head of the IT for this. The experience collected in chemistry
-labs computers (for example NMR analysis of protein folding) and in
-the IT-courses during university where sufficient to start. Self
-training is anyway very important</p>
-
-<p>I live in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, and the
-<a href="http://www.spse.ch/">SPSE school</a> (secondary) is a very
-special sport school for young people who try to became sport pro (for
-all sports, we have dozens of disciplines represented) and we are
-recognised by the Olympic Swiss Organisation.
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Looking for Linux / Primary Domain Controller (PDC) I found it
-already several years ago. But since the system was still not
-Kerberized and since our schools relies strongly on laptops I didn't
-use it. I plan to introduce it in the next future, probably for the
-next school year, since the squeeze release solved this security
-hole.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Many. First of all there is a strong and living community that is
-very generous for help and hints. Chat help is crucial, together with
-the mailing list. Second. With Skolelinux you get an already well
-engineered platform and you don't have to start to build up your PDC
-and your clients from GNU/scratch; I've already done this once and I
-can tell it, it is hard. Third, since Skolelinux is a standard
-platform, it is way easier to educate other IT people and even if the
-head IT is sick another one could pick up the task without too much
-hassle.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>The only real problem I see is that it is a little too less
-flexible at client level. Debian stable is rocky and desirable, but
-there are many reasons that force for another choice. For example the
-need of new drivers for new PC, or the need for a specific OS for some
-devices that have specific software packages for another specific
-distribution (I have such a case for whiteboards that have only
-Ubuntu packages). Thus, I prepared compatibility packages educlient
-and eduroaming, hoping not to use them ;-)</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I have a Debian Stable PDC at school (Kerberos, NIS, NFS) with
-mixed Debian and Ubuntu clients. If you think that this triad
-combination is exotic... well I discovered right yesterday that
-<a href="http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/Perceus-Report.html">Perceus</a>
-has the same...</p>
-
-<p>For myself I run Debian wheezy/sid, but this combination is good
-only I you have enough competence to fix stuff for yourself, if
-something breaks. Daily I use texmacs, gnumeric, a little bit of R
-statistics, kmplot, and less frequently OpenOffice.org.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<P>I think that the only real argument that school managers "hear" is
-cost reduction. They don't give too much weight on quality, stability,
-just because they are normally not open to change.</p>
-
-<p>Students adapts very quickly to GNU/Linux (and for them being able
-to switch between different OS is a plus value); teachers and managers
-don't.</p>
-
-<p>We decided to move to Linux because students at our school have own
-laptop and we have the responsibility to keep the laptop ready to use;
-we were really unsatisfied with Microsoft since every Monday we had 20
-machine to fix for viral infections... With Linux this has been
-reduced to zero, since people installs almost only from official
-repositories. I think that our special needs brought us to Linux.
-Those who don't have such needs will hardly move to Linux.</p>
