Norwegian Cuisine
by JDHorn on Jan.02, 2010, under Food
Being 1/2 Norwegian, I do have a certain attachment to some of the cuisine of the country. I’ve never actually tried any of the items mentioned in the post I’ve linked to below, but have heard my mother mention lutefisk several times – mostly positive things were said, but I dunno! My fave is lefse – a soft flatbread made of potatoes. More on this later, but for now, check this out…

Web Toys
by JDHorn on Jan.02, 2009, under Web Stuff
From time to time I add new web toys to my site. Sometimes they’re inspired by email I receive, sometimes by websites I visit, and sometimes they’re just toys I’ve dreamt up on my own. Below is a list of the ones I’ve added to date, and a brief description of each.
My web toys:
- International Phonetic Alphabet Translator
Converts text to Alpha, Bravo, Charlie format - Text Scrambler
Scramble text and see if you can still make out what it says. - Morse Code Convertor (added January 2, 2009)
Convert your text to the dot-dash format of Morse Code - Morse Code DeConvertor (added January 2, 2009)
Convert the dot-dash format of Morse Code to plain text - Symbol-based Password Generator (added February 22, 2009)
Create up to 25 passwords of varying lengths at the click of a button - Word-based Password Generator (added February 22, 2009)
Create up to 25 passwords at at time. Each password is made up of 2 or more 3-5 character words separated by a number or punctuation character. I find this type of password more useful (e.g. easier to remember) than symbol-based passwords
Do you have any thoughts about my existing toys or ideas for new ones? Post them here.
Cheers
Jim
cs3… Illustrator & photoshop
by JDHorn on Jul.01, 2007, under Web Stuff
I’ve been playing a lot lately with cs3 photoshop and illustrator – and getting used to the new features of dreamweaver. I picked up a book on ps a while back [photoshop cs2 for digital photographers by scott kelby], and it’s a gem. I’ve used some of the techniques from the book on some of the graphics on my homepage – and of course they work just fine in cs3.
