+ <description><p>I was surprised today to learn that a friend in academia did not
+know there are easily available web services available for writing
+LaTeX documents as a team. I thought it was common knowledge, but to
+make sure at least my readers are aware of it, I would like to mention
+these useful services for writing LaTeX documents. Some of them even
+provide a WYSIWYG editor to ease writing even further.</p>
+
+<p>There are two commercial services available,
+<a href="https://sharelatex.com">ShareLaTeX</a> and
+<a href="https://overleaf.com">Overleaf</a>. They are very easy to
+use. Just start a new document, select which publisher to write for
+(ie which LaTeX style to use), and start writing. Note, these two
+have announced their intention to join forces, so soon it will only be
+one joint service. I've used both for different documents, and they
+work just fine. While
+<a href="https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex">ShareLaTeX is free
+software</a>, while the latter is not. According to <a
+href="https://www.overleaf.com/help/17-is-overleaf-open-source">a
+announcement from Overleaf</a>, they plan to keep the ShareLaTeX code
+base maintained as free software.</p>
+
+But these two are not the only alternatives.
+<a href="https://app.fiduswriter.org/">Fidus Writer</a> is another free
+software solution with <a href="https://github.com/fiduswriter">the
+source available on github</a>. I have not used it myself. Several
+others can be found on the nice
+<a href="https://alternativeto.net/software/sharelatex/">alterntiveTo
+web service</a>.
+
+<p>If you like Google Docs or Etherpad, but would like to write
+documents in LaTeX, you should check out these services. You can even
+host your own, if you want to. :)</p>

+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

<description><p>Recently, I needed to automatically check the copyright status of a
set of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/">The Internet Movie database
and check if the XML metadata for the movie is available from The
Internet Archive, and after around 1.5 hour it produced a list of 2097
free movies and their IMDB ID. In total, 171 entries in Wikidata lack
-the refered Internet Archive entry. I assume the 60 "disappearing"
+the refered Internet Archive entry. I assume the 70 "disappearing"
entries (ie 2338-2097-171) are duplicate entries.</p>
<p>This is not too bad, given that The Internet Archive report to
<a href="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q3420907">Q3420907</a>,
<a href="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q3429733">Q3429733</a>,

<description><p>I find it fascinating how many of the people being locked inside
the proposed border wall between USA and Mexico support the idea. The
<p>Do the people in USA supporting this wall really believe it is a
one way wall, only keeping people on the outside from getting in,
while not keeping people in the inside from getting out?</p>

<description><p>At my nearby maker space,
<a href="http://sonen.ifi.uio.no/">Sonen</a>, I heard the story that it
<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r">slic3r</a> and
<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r-prusa">slic3r-prusa</a>.
The latter is a fork of the former.</p>

<description>Når jeg holder på med ulike prosjekter, så trenger jeg stadig ulike
skruer. Det siste prosjektet jeg holder på med er å lage
håper de har nok kunder til å holde det gående lenge, da dette er en
butikk jeg kommer til å besøke ofte. Butikken er et funn å ha i
nabolaget for oss som liker å bygge litt selv. :)</p>

+det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
