This is an old photo I had lost. It was taken in 2008 and sent to my mum, to show how my capsicum plant was so much better than hers. Photo was taken in 8A 245 Cumberland St, Dunedin.

Oslo Sentrumsløpet
Six months ago, I set a fitness goal of beating my time of 53.5 minutes in the Oslo Sentrumsløpet, 10 km running race held in Oslo each yet. So I headed back to Oslo, but a combination of snow, overheating, hay fever and perhaps a lower level of fitness than I should have, led to me not beating that time :/ My time was 54 minutes 39 seconds. They at least gave me a medal for it though 🙂
My next goal is run in the Potsdam half marathon on June. That should be fairly straightforward as I only intend to run it, and am not aiming to beat any particular time (2 hours is a vague goal, but I have no idea if that is realistic or not since I’ve never timed myself over the distance before).
Edit: The Potsdam half marathon never happened because Mo, who I was going to run in it with, pulled out.
Beard progress
People always say “how long does that take to grow” and I really had no idea, so I decided to measure it this time 🙂 18 days and I was sick of it.

No make sense!?
This doesn’t make sense. The radiation emitted directly from the radio in a mobile phone can not cause a measurable heating effect. The only heating would be caused from radiant heat and conduction from the phone. I swear my phone is almost always stone cold. I think the insulating effect from having my wallet in my front pants pocket would have more effect on my ball temperature than my phone would.

Copy cat
People keep learning how to write code. But that’s just silly. Just copy some of my stuff, remove the license and copyright notice and upload it somewhere and pretend it’s yours. Simple really …
Here is the source code, which you can compare to my Disable Emoji’s plugin code. They’re basically the same 😛
<?php /* Plugin Name: Remove Emojis Plugin URI: http://wpvkp.com/ Description: Helps to unregister enojis from wordpress. It also unrigister the emojis from the wordpress post editor.

Random question of the day
How would I go about setting up an intranet, which I could broadcast via WiFi from my laptop? I’d like to sit on planes, trains etc. and broadcast a free WiFi signal which oaded nothing more than a website on my local server. That way I could run a little chat app and chit-chat with all the other people on the plane/train. Plus, I could cache some interesting web pages, news etc. for them too.
Has anyone out there done this before, or have any tips?
