Runtime Assembler for C++

By Kristian | Published: April 26, 2012
rtasm is a project i made in 2005 for university. It’s a runtime assembler for C++ that allows you to write code that is assembled at the very last minute. This allows you to write generic code with conditions that still performs incredibly well because they can be evaluated before loops with deep context knowledge. [...]

12months

By Kristian | Published: December 5, 2011
After a rather tedious approval process (of my company, not the app), 12months is live in the app store. It is Amma’s and my Project Getaway experiment. It’s an iPad calendar that shows you the entire year in way that makes planning easy, inspired by David Seah’s Compact Calendar. This is my first experiment with [...]

The Story of a Bootstrapped Startup..

By Kristian | Published: September 5, 2011
This is my talk about Minimum Noise at Sun, Sand and Startups in Barcelona 2011. Some people have asked me about the restructuring we did of the landing page. One of the articles that were inspirational in that regard was this one: http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/seomoz-case-study/ — I highly recommend it.

Shower Whiteboard

By Kristian | Published: August 15, 2011
If there is one thing we’ve learned from stock photography, it’s that windows make good white boards — especially for flow charts. ..well that, and that thinking big means planting a tiny tree in a very big pot and while customer support might sound like some middle-aged Indian guy it is, in fact, a hot [...]

Portable Safe

By Kristian | Published: May 1, 2011
I purchased a portable safe, the Pacsafe Travelsafe 12L. It is a canvas bag with an integrated steel mesh. This makes it light while still protecting it from knives and simple tools. Yes, it can be broken into if someone really wants to but it provides good protection against the thief who is quickly scanning [...]

By Kristian | Published: October 31, 2010
CherryTomato is open source. I put it on Google Code a while ago but I didn’t want to make too much fuzz about it because I hadn’t tried to build it on another machine and generally wasn’t too happy with the state of the code. That hasn’t changed However, I decided to announce it now [...]

Face Recognition and Privacy

By Kristian | Published: October 11, 2010
I like Picasa’s face recognition feature. It does also scare me a bit when it correctly suggests that I am present in pictures that I just added. Yesterday I was walking on Strøget and I passed a couple taking pictures. I must have ended up in one of them, and just then it hit me [...]

In order to pick the best of our many ideas for our next project, we have sketched a process for evaluating ideas.
