Another 15 minutes

I visited the Wheels magazine Classic Car show at Barkarby Airport last weekend to look at some muscle cars. There were ofcourse most classic cars, but also some nice modern cars. Here are some pictures, ofcourse my Dodge Charger was also there :).

Back in the day when I was playing Counter-Strike and attending and arranging LANs and tournaments we used to make CS movies and roadtrip movies that were very popular. I decided to upload them to YouTube. This is very much walking down memory lane for many of us, enjoy :). NoM powah!

I have noticed from the huge peak of visitors to my blog yesterday to my entry on Swedish Crownprincess Victoria’s engagement to Daniel Westling that there is a massive interest around the world about their wedding, so I’ll post some of my own photos from the event and links to the broadcasts of the ceremony, concerts, dinner and party. continue reading…

An Android phone will scan your entire memory card for music and images and display them as available media in the players and albums, but maybe you don’t want to show all media but only specific folders. There is a solution for this. To hide media in a specific folder from the player apps do this:

1. Windows: Open notepad and save an empty file as filename “.nomedia”. Linux: In a terminal window create a file called “.nomedia” by typing “touch .nomedia”.
2. Connect your Android phone by USB and copy the file into all folders you wish to hide from the media scan.
3. Done.

The media (music, images and movies) contained in this folder will now be ignored and not show up in your MP3 or movie player on the phone. To access and play them you can use a file manager, like Astro File Manager.

Today I changed my blog theme, just thought it was time for a change and I liked this design and what it can do, hope you like it too. I will do some more modifications and additions to it still so it’s not quite done.
