Like mentioned in earlier post, my son seems to have a much greater progress than i.
On Wednesday, he did 20, an increase of 666% since Monday. If i were to follow him, i should have done 333... which i didn't. 61 pushups on Wednesday, and 62 on Friday. Jr continues his way to the top and did 30. I predict he will pass me in 3 weeks.

And my colleagues continues, in 6 weeks, vg.no will have the fittest development team alive :)

Today my colleagues at work, presented me with a challenge they are all doing.
The 100 pushup challenge.

So today, my 8 year old son and i started on week one, he followed the up to 5 pushups coloumn, and i did the "more than 10" coloumn.

The results were as follows:
we both completed up to level 4, and at level 5, he did 3, i did 50.

So will we be able to do one hundered pushups in five weeks?
i dont know, but im sure my son will have greater progress than i.

And as long as i beat the developers at work, im happy :)

Today i looked into where im going for a vacation this summer. (yes i know, should have done it months ago)

My kid wants to go to Legoland, so hey, lets see how much the fare is for the cruise to Denmark.
I logged on to Colorlines web site, and typed in the dates for travel, and clicked "next"

"Sorry the ship is full at the times selected"

Why do you even allow me to select those dates?
Why dont you do a prefetch of all avalible dates, and cache the result for, say one minute, or five. Im sure your database can handle that.

So after selecting and deselecting different times, i eventually found a suitable date.
Ok, lets see if they have a package, with hotel included.

Yes they do, they even have Legoland packages, i'd like to see the prices on the whole package, they have approx 10 different hotels to choose from.

"sorry, to order a package, please call us at XXXXXX"

So much for the help yourself service.
After about a 5 minute queue on the phone, they present us the deals. Of which none are presented at the web page. WTF?



Oh fsck this, lets look into alternatives.
I go to sommarlands website. I think anyway. Why do some people think that everything has to start with www? sommarland.no gives a "Under construction" page, which is cute..
301 is your friend sommarland.

But hey lets add www, and see where we end up. They are hosted by a site in spain!! Why not choose the moon?

So all people who have project out there, dont cut the corners, just a little more work, or find something else to do. Crappy webservices makes me angry
