>Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
15 <a href=
"http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura
">solution promoted
16 by the Norwegian government
</a
> require that invoices are sent through
17 one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
18 electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
19 facilitators. This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
20 transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers. My preferred
21 solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
22 between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
23 protocol like REST or SOAP. But this might also be overkill, as the
24 "electronic
" information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
25 using a simple bar code. My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
26 codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there. The
27 content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
28 <a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
">the vCard format
</a
>, as
29 it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.
</p
>
31 <p
>The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
32 information can be included using such extentions. For example an
33 invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
34 <a href=
"http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html
">ask
35 for donations to the Debian Edu project
</a
> and thus have bank account
36 information publicly available) for NOK
1000.00 could have these extra
41 X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
42 X-INVOICE-KID:
123412341234
43 X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
44 X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:
16040884339
45 X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
46 X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
47 </pre
></p

49 <p
>The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
51 <a href=
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/

">how
52 to put bank account information into a vCard
</a
>. For payments in
53 Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
54 used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.

84 <p
>The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
85 vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
86 handling invoices. I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
87 are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.

195 <p
>With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
196 during the night and wake up when it is morning. I mean, when I
197 believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier. In our household we
198 have decided that
07:
00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
199 sleep until
07:
00 is a small challenge every day. They have adapted
200 quite well, and rarely wake up at
05:
00 any more, but some times wake
201 up at times like
05:
50,
06:
15,
06:
30 or
06:
45, and it is hard to put
202 the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
203 And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until
07:
00
204 some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
205 after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.
</p
>
207 <p
>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem. It
208 involve home automation. A few years ago I bought a
209 <a href=
"http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick
">Tellstick
</a
> and RF
210 switches at the local
<a href=
"http://www.clasohlson.com/
">Clas
211 Ohlson
</a
> shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
212 gadgets using my Linux server. When I moved from the old flat to a
213 small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
214 the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
215 the gadgets I had. But recently I bought a
216 <a href=
"http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net
">Tellstick
217 Net
</a
> to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
218 sockets. I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
219 to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding. The default
220 setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
221 which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
223 <a href=
"http://developer.telldus.com/blog/
2012/
03/
02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware
">firmware
224 with local access
</A
> instead of being controlled by a Swedish
225 company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
226 code. I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
227 important. But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
228 the kids came to me yesterday. We can set up a night light controlled
229 by the computer, and turn it automatically on at
07:
00. The kids can
230 then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
231 get up or not. They joined me in setting everything up, and I
232 repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
233 remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.
</p
>
235 <p
>We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
236 after
07:
00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
237 "morning light
" was turned on and signalled that the morning had
238 arrived. So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
239 this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
240 all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.
</p
>
242 <p
>A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
243 to tell the kids to get up. We do not have to wait until
07:
00, and
244 can also delay it if we want to.

284 Det er ikke så rart, da de som uttaler seg jo også har støttet
285 innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet eller i hvert fall ikke veldig
286 aktivt har motarbeidet det. Innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet er
287 en lovendring som innebærer brev og besøkskontroll for hele
288 befolkningen.

341 We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
342 no-one have been able to propose a fix. If you got an idea what is
