Installing WP Thesis on Host Gator. Don’t Let Them Fool You!

October 22, 2009

Those stubborn bastards! It took me hours in the live chat with several different support people, a bunch of emails, and even flashing a bit of the famous Walter rage to get the USA-based web hosting service Host Gator to listen. But finally they did. Here’s the story: I was working on a WordPress Thesis [...]

Case: Elgiganten Stole My Girlfriend’s Computer And Wanted Her To Pay For It (True Story!)

September 24, 2009

Here comes a short story on how not to answer customer complaints, a story that I’ve had the benefit to study closely over the past couple of months. Long story short, my wonderful girlfriend got what we in Sweden call “värdelös service” (worthless service in English) from Elgiganten, a chain of stores selling consumer electronics. [...]

Understanding Web Copy and Why it Will Cost You Big Bucks!

September 21, 2009

It was more than eleven years ago that I started my academic career at the M.Sc.-program for media technology at Linköping Institute of Technology. Way back then, the web was completely different, Google didn’t exist (it was actually founded the same year), and ICQ was the name of the game for communication. But it wasn’t [...]

September 17, 2009

[EDIT: Sorry. My bad. Was a bit quick there. The true result for this post is position 4, not 3. Thank you Simon Sundén for your correct result]. Didn’t mean to return to the Lowe Brindfors case, but since I got a few comments in defense of ignoring SEO, saying that Lowe Brindfors don’t need [...]

Top SEO-Presentation From Simon Sundén

August 31, 2009

Simon Sundén’s presentation on SEO was one of the best presentations of the entire SSWC-conference. Despite the fact that there was no projector for him to show his prepared presentation on, he still managed to present this fairly technical topic really well. Now his presentation is translated to English and presented on Slideshare. Oh, how [...]

Impressive Talk by Naoki Iko The Highlight of The Week

April 1, 2009

Microsoft delivered today. There were two excellent talks, the first one being by Nick Bailey of AKQA. It was a fairly traditional presentation of some very good work. Fiat’s Eco Drive, an in-car-USB-powered Nike+ for cars. Cool. Though I think that it would have been even cooler with an industry-wide call to action where Fiat [...]

Distill Launch Party and Nextopia

December 5, 2008

My mind just went blank. I couldnt’ for the life of me remember wether Michael Dahlén’s new book Nextopia was in Swedish or in English. I just couldn’t. But before I ended up in this situation, the following happened. Last night I went down to the new magazine Distill’s launch party on Strandvägen. I flipped [...]

You Have Spoken

May 12, 2008

The poll regarding the language of this blog ended up fairly close to a draw. And considering only 35 people actually voted, I conclude that the rest of you don’t mind English (or don’t understand it, haha!). So, ladies and gentlemen, dear readers, the court rules in favor of keeping the blog in English. Similar [...]
