The main projekt of mine

In a month's time, my main project have been to code an interactive website that could keep track of some playgroups and afternoon events in my son's class. The very idea of these afternoon activities is mine but I went to a meeting where we discussed the idea and I think it was a pretty tough equation to solve and I were soon intrigued by how I could make a online solution that could track the project's many facets. I worked on this as I said a couple of weeks and I learned to code some PHP which I could not before. Now I finally finished the project.
Whether this system will ever come into use, I really do not but I've put a demo out open for all. It could be that someone needed just such a system. In that case, I'd be happy to give away the code and helps with customization.

Here is the demo version of the system

The project is in Danish but if you're not-Danish-speaking and want to see it you can see it through

I'm glad that now I broadly can leave behind the coding project because I am eager to return to what I really have as my current main project. My real current main project is to remake a picture book that I have created a few years ago into a video slide show for YouTube.

Dream after the matrix

Oh now I'm being inappropriate again, but ok I have a good excuse. It's not something I've constructed by waking consciousness, it's something I have dreamed. The image and the text is an adaptation of a strong dream I had the other night after having seen the movie "The Matrix" (read previous blog post)

The Matrix; A perfect staging of the movie experience

Well then, I had seen the matrix. Ten years later than most others. Found a discarded TV with VHS player that stood in front of a house with a note on it saying that it worked just fine and that anybody could just take it.

Some weeks later I found the movie The Matrix (the first one from the trilogy) on a VHS tape along with dozens of other discarded tapes in our bulky refuse basement. This night I had the pleasure to try to see if I could get it to work and get seen the movie. I'm slightly crazy about discarded electronics and often pull discarded items home and test if they work and if I possibly can repair them or so. I was routinely prepared on a bit of hassle and not too sure whether I would get to see any movie that night at all. I had worn the TV up and put it on a chair. Got the plug into the socket and stuck the tape in and "voila" everything happened by itself there was a picture on the screen in ten seconds. Trailers and advertisements from the tape the whole thing just spun. The entire small television seemed much more advanced and modern than I had expected. Almost a little bit unreal.

And now here after I have seen this beautiful movie I can not help but think how perfect it was a prelude to just this movie. The retro technology represented in a VHS tape, combined with the the experience of it being surprisingly sophisticated at the same time. And than the way that this elements, the tape with the film, the TV with the player almost dropped in to my life as if it was all planed from somewhere outside the matrix. I don't know who to thank for this but it sure was a "Perfect" staging of this movie experience.
