Off topic: Making of the Korean Actress "Song Hye Kyo"

Thursday, 26 August 2010 19:00 by mha

As some of you may know I have a past making/teaching 3D computer graphics – so I just had to mention this, and show how far 3D has come in its pursuit of creating realistic 3D imagery:

100% 3D computer generated using Zbrush and 3DSMAX– WOW!! – See the image in hi-res here: http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/songhyekyo/final_large.jpg

My new desk…

Tuesday, 1 September 2009 18:01 by mha

I started at my new job today and thought I’ll share an image of my new desk with you – the first day is all about setting up hardware, LAN, WiFi, installing software etc.

People are really friendly and I’m still trying to remember their names! (I find it so much easier to remember numbers! :-)

After work I finally got around to update my blog to the newest version of BlogEngine.NET, which has much better support for Windows Live Writer (now the image upload finally works, yah!!)

So .. I’ll try to post more frequently in the future (I hope that will reduce the number of sarcastic comments about the lack of updates! :-)

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 00:24 by mha

As many of you may already know, on the 1st of September I'm leaving the Web Development Team at Telenor and begins a new career at Gateway Distribution as a .NET developer / system architect.

It’s been a great 2½ years at Telenor, and I’ve really enjoyed working together with all the talented and wonderful people, both inside my team and outside (Custom Relations, eBusiness, DataWare House, etc.)

I’ll like to thank you all, and wish everyone the best of luck and good wishes - It's been really fun and I'm sure we'll meet online - until then - So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!

Wednesday, 17 December 2008 19:27 by mha

I've been quite busy the last couple of weeks, making the new order flow for www.cybercity.dk ready production / "go live". It's been available to the public domain now for about a week and I'm happy to say that everything is working as expected (guess Mads (MRO) and I did a decent job :-)

If you want to see it for yourself, point your brower to: http://www.cybercity.dk/privat/bredbaand/index.aspx (click any of the green "Bestil" buttons!)

Facebook and User Content

Friday, 17 October 2008 06:38 by mha

If you're a Facebook user and you post a lot of personal information (text, images etc.), you might want to read Terms of use for Facebook, especially the paragraph "User Content" terms:

User Content Posted on the (Facebook) Site

You are solely responsible for the photos, profiles (including your name, image, and likeness), messages, notes, text, information, music, video, advertisements, listings, and other content that you upload, publish or display (hereinafter, "post") on or through the Service or the Site, or transmit to or share with other users (collectively the "User Content"). You may not post, transmit, or share User Content on the Site or Service that you did not create or that you do not have permission to post. You understand and agree that the Company may, but is not obligated to, review the Site and may delete or remove (without notice) any Site Content or User Content in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, including User Content that in the sole judgment of the Company violates this Agreement or the Facebook Code of Conduct, or which might be offensive, illegal, or that might violate the rights, harm, or threaten the safety of users or others. You are solely responsible at your sole cost and expense for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Site or provide to the Company.

When you post User Content to the Site, you authorize and direct us to make such copies thereof as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the posting and storage of the User Content on the Site. By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content. Facebook does not assert any ownership over your User Content; rather, as between us and you, subject to the rights granted to us in these Terms, you retain full ownership of all of your User Content and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your User Content.

Note the text I've marked bold+italic - this is the part where Facebook claims the right to use ANY material you uplode in ANY way or form the choose.

Facebook just informed the world that they now have more than 10.000.000.000 images in their database (actually more images than Flickr and Photobucket combined), so they have plenty of material to sell/use as they see fit. The above text is from the complete Terms of use.
