Another picture of the recent snowfall here in Stockholm. This is the walkway out from the apartment building where I live and with the 12″ or 30 cm of snowfall that we had recently together with the old snow the handrails will be gone soon if it continues this way.
And the winter has just started really, I long for the spring time now. It’s so dark all the time.
This photo was taken on my way back to work after being on site working with the radio systems in the Metro. On my way back I passed Thorildsplan which is one of the more forgotten places and metro stations but close to where I work.
This bike was sitting there all alone in the night so I snapped a couple of pictures of it and of Thorildsplan itself and then headed back to the office to finish up what I was doing for the day.
This morning we had a 80% partial solar eclipse. For a long time it seemed like the sun would not rise and then suddenly the light returned.
Unfortunately it was cloudy and not possible to get a shot of the eclipse from where I was going to work but the strange light we had was possible to capture anyway which was what I had to settle for.
Today’s shot is from my work at SL. The radios shown in the middle (one with a lit screen) are the Buskom system, our own TETRA radio network in Stockholm, the big one on the right hand side is the old VHF analogue train radio system used by all rail traffic (cityspårvägen and the commuter trains excepted, the first uses Busskom and the others use GSM-R)
So now you can see some of the tools of my trade.
Today we did a spontaneous photo walk around the south end of Stockholm. You can see my gallery here and David’s gallery here. We had a pretty good time although it was chilly.
New year first day and we had such a great time with visiting friends today. I have today started my 365 photos project documenting my life in 2011 in photographs. This is the first day of the project and there will be many more over the year to come. I hope that 2011 will not be as eventful as 2010 was, we had lots of sorrow and bad stuff happening last year.
The photograph was taken when we had friends visiting and their youngest got sleepy and dozed off in our bed.
I found more or less by mistake how to make a screen capture on the Galaxy S Android mobile. Other such instructiond requires the installation of an SDK or similar but this anyone can do really.
Go to the screen you wish to capture. Then press and hold the back/return button for a couple of seconds and then hit the middle button. A camera shutter sound is played and the image is captured.
The picture can then be found int he gallery of the phone as would any normal camera picture be, it can thus be uploaded, shared with face book, blogged (actually I wrote this on the phone using a WordPress agent straight from the phone)
From Jonas comment below I would conclude this is a Galaxy S specific feature that is not android 2.2 common unfortunately.
All of us who like the Android and writes about specific software on the android would love to have this feature implemented so I will suggest it to Google and see what happens in the coming versions on Android.
”I will just be 20 minutes” she said and I stayed in the parking lot entertained by the occasional brawl between people fighting their wys to the best parking spaces. It has been about 45 linutes so far and no sign of my wife yet.
Horns are honkin and people are shouting as we are getting closer to closing time räthis saturday night. Moments ago a lady tried her best to dent the paint on my car when she slammed her car door into mine. When i told her to take it easy she just drove off, wheels spinning. I hope the stress here does not cause any fatalities tonight.
Cadence is easy to check when running, and this is how: For 20 seconds count the number of times you put your right foot first. Then multiply by 3 and then by 2. This way you get the number of steps per minute and then add your left foot as well.
Example: 20 steps in 20 seconds gives you: 20 * 3 * 2 = 60 * 2 = 120
But it does not take the intensity into account just ”jogging” which is similar to about 7 km/h of running generally (tempo 8:30).
A better formula is might be this: Weight (kg) * time (hours) * speed (km/h)
My whole idea was to create something very alien feeling from familiar things. The landscape was actually photographed during a nice winter day, the moon was shot last summer and with some ”slight adjustments” and combining them together at least I got that alien feeling here.
