For some strange and irritating reason, the developers of Wordpress MU have decided that users of said product are not allowed to access their own web server using a web address beginning with www.

Fortunaltely, the system is open source so this amazingly stupid setting can be deactivated (comment out a few lines in wpmu-settings.php). It’s just that you have to remeber this change when you update the software.

(And I don’t think it’s a bad idea to use URLs without www, it’s just that it’s not up to the developers of WPMU…)

Last week, Apple announced the long awaited iPad. I guess I was a bit disappointed that it turned out to be a big iPod instead of a small computer.

I had naïvely been hoping for the iPad to be an open platform, but just like on the iPod/iPhone all applications have to go through the app store and be approved by Apple.

Staffan Göransson made a number of wonderful cover illustrations to Asimov-novels during the eighties. Göransson’s drawing style is far from the boring, clinical illustrations that come with a lot of science fiction. Enjoy:

Död robot (The Robots of Dawn)

Den okända lagen (Robots and Empire)

Preludium till Stiftelsen (Prelude to Foundation)

Stiftelsetrilogin (Foundation Trilogy)

Stiftelsen och jorden (Foundation and Earth)
