July 2010

John and Joe from americablog.com have discovered that BP have doctored photographs on their offical webpage from their Crisis Command Center in Houston, TX, as information to their emergency response after the oil spil. Apparently, BP replaced empty, off-line screens with images from ROVs (remote operated vehicles) in a very sloppy way. For example, white fringes and outlines around a man in the controlroom and around the replaced monitor screen can clearly be seen. Also, BP claimed that the photograph was taken in July 2010. However, the photographs metadata showed that the picture was taken in 2001.

I'm not a health nut. No, I'm definitely not a health nut, you know, one of those guys who's spend 90% of their awake time in a gym, pumping iron and use all kind of obscure machines to keep their bodies fit, eat nothing more than perfectly measured diets ect ect.

What I do like though, is to keep my body in shape in a more friendly and laid-back way; I run about 2.5 miles every second day, I do pushups and I do situps. And I do hate those products so tooted by commercials, those contraptions that promise to keep your body slim and beutiful with nothing but wearing it, then sit down, for example, in front of the TV and let the thing do it's work..  what's the point with those product? Strapping a belt around your belly and have it contract your muscles while you're sitting in front of the TV and still promise that you'll develop a great body and get toned into fitness by it? A 30 minute walk would give better results than using such a gadget..  there's a whole lot more to fitness than shaping muscles by electrical stimuli; what about the rest of the body? What about the cardiovascular system that plays no little role when it comes to fitness?

For example, take this lady..  (s)he really know how to take her training seriously!

If someone is even remotely interested in aviation (and I'm a fair bit lot more interested in it), they have probably heard about the city of Farnborough in the south part of England and their annual airshow, the Farnborough International Airshow. It's the airshow where the big boys play, and this year, there's bound to be a showdown in attracting potential buyers between Boeings new 787 Dreamliner versus Airbus new military transport plane the A400M. This years airshow will be even bigger than the previous 61 years, with a total exhibition space of 110,000 square meters of floor, 1,400 exhibitors expecting around 150,000 visitors.

During last years airshow, a total of $88.7 billion worth of orders were placed. Naturally they're hoping to break even higher than that during this years exhibition.

Drupal has thousands of modules, and it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of different modules available. A number of you might already know about Drupal Modules (http://drupalmodules.com/), but for you who doesn't, it's a community-powered site to rate and review Drupal modules (just as the name implies!). The ratings include Features, Realiability, Ease of Use and Documentation, they have quite an advanced search system that makes it easy to narrow down the modules and functionality one's interested in. If you're looking for a specific modules, or are just curious about what the most popular or used modules are, Drupal Modules is well worth a visit.
