Happy New Year and welcome to 2010 :: [05-01-2010 by Hans C. Koch]
It's almost been a year, since this blog was updated and I'm considering moving to some sort of hosted solution, since it's quite expensive to have a server running for a site that's never updated. And it not quite CO2 friendly either. In any case, you can follow the RSS feed on the right side of the screen, so you don't have to check the site for updates that might not come. I'm hoping to work more on some photography projects in 2010. In 2009 ...[Read more]
Playing around with QR codes :: [30-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
I just realized that my cell phone (Nokia E71) has a QR Code scanner build in, so I started looking for QR Codes. I have not seen them used in Denmark but they are very popular in Asia and it's actually a pretty cool way of tagging and spreading information. Check out the QR code generator at Kaywa The code for the link to this blog entry: Link to this website Link to our RSS feed My e-mail address ...and a special secret little message for you ...[Read more]
7 (at least) things that hotels can do better, cheaper and environmentally friendlier. :: [24-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
After staying at a (good) hotel for a week, I've been thinking about what hotels could do better for their guests, and I'm not thinking about the service level, which is usually high. I'm thinking about cost and environmental issues. Let me start the list her Give choices to the guests. Give me a list in the hotel menu system, where I can choose what days I want a newspaper, if I want room service every day. Honestly, who needs new towels every ...[Read more]
Disney World Swan and Dolphin Panorama :: [23-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
For the last week or so, I've been in Orlando, Florida attending Lotusphere, the biggest and best IBM Lotus event anywhere. It's a 5+ day conference for the Lotus community. For the last fiew years, it's been held exclusively at the Swan and Dolphin resort in Disney world, Florida. It's a good location, as is it geared to handle large amounts of geeks, walking around like zombies in search for more information and knowledge. If you want to know ...[Read more]
Auto White Balance (AWB) not always good. Get a White Balance Card (18 percent gray) :: [21-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
A few months ago I decided that I wanted to do a little more photography and with that came the decision that my old, but nice Canon 350D, might be a little too simple. So I started looking at the Canon 40D and then in November 2008 the 50D was released. After reading a few reviews, I decided that it would be a good purchase and since I was going to the US in January 2009 I could buy it there (cheaper that in my motherland). Being a trusty liste...[Read more]
Pictures from Christmas 2008 :: [04-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
We added 30 pictures from Christmas in Denmark in 2008. The pictures are from the 3 Christmas days, where we held Christmas in Ringsted, then had a day off and then went down to Marienlyst for 2nd Christmas day. It was some good days, and you can see the pictures here....[Read more]
Happy New Year 2009 :: [03-01-2009 by Hans C. Koch]
Well, Happy New Year to everyone. 2008 was quite eventful, especially since it was the first full year with Camden. We did a bit of traveling and have had a lot of guests staying with us (which we love). If you're ever in Denmark, let us know and we might be able to find a spare bed or a spot on the sofa. 2009 has started out by Britt's mom visiting us for a few weeks. In January Hans will go to Lotusphere in Orlando, Florida. There might be a w...[Read more]
