[en] Then I finally got my Ph.D.



Friday the 17th og Oct var a big day for me. After almost four years of struggle I was to defend my Ph.D. thesis on the H.C. Ørsteds institute. It went well. After 45 min of talk and 1½ hours of questioning, the opponents withdrew to vote on a verdict. At the same time I waited with supervisors, colleages, friends and family for the verdict. It took a while, but then they got back and read the verdict out loud, and vupti, then I was a Ph.D.!

In the evening I had invited everyone for a little get-together at home. There were quite a few guests, and it wasw very cozy.

Pictures from the entire day are available here.

My thesis is available here and my talk is available here.

[fo] So fekk eg endiliga mín Ph.D.



Fríggjadagurin 17. okt. var ein stórur dagur fyri meg. Aftanaá at hava kempa fyri tí í næstan fýra ár skuldi eg verja mín Ph.D. ritgerð á H.C. Ørsteds instituttinum. Tað gekk væl. Eftir at hava hildið ein fyrilestur uppá 45 min og svara spurningum í 1½ tíma takkaðu oppopnentarnir fyri seg og fóru í einrúm fyri at votera. ímeðan bíðaði eg saman við áhoyrarum, vegleiðarum, starvsfeløgum, vinfólki og familju eftir dóminum. Tað tók eina løtu, men so komu tey aftur og lósu dómin upp og vupti, so var eg Ph.D.!

Um kvøldið hevði eg opið hús heima, har eg fekk nokkso fitt av gestum. Hetta var eisini sera hugnaligt!


Myndir frá hesum langa degnum eru her.

[dk] Så fik jeg endelig min Ph.D.



Fredag den 17. okt. var en stor dag for mig. Efter næsten fire års kamp skulle jeg forsvare min Ph.D. afhandling på H.C. Ørsteds instituttet. Det gik fint. Efter 45 mins forelæsning og 1½ times spørgsmål trak opponenterne sig tilbage for at votere. Imens ventede jeg sammen med tilhørere, vejledere, kollegaer, vennner og familie på dommen. Det tog et godt stykke tid, men så kom de tilbage og læste dommen op, og vupti så var jeg Ph.D.!

Om aftenen havde jeg et lille kom-sammen hjemme hvor der kom en del gæster, det var også meget hyggeligt!

Billeder fra hele denne lange dag ses her.

[fo] Eg eri ímóti Sandoyartunnli, tí ...

Lat meg byrja við at siga at eg principielt ikki eri ímóti einum Sandoyartunnli. Men eg eri hart ímóti Sandoyartunnlinum í verandi líki, tí at tað er ikki fíggjarliga ráðiligt í løtuni. Sum eg skilji tað, er hetta uppskotið bert so nógv tað stórsta og flottasta dømið um tann super-lokalpatriotiska politikkin sum vit hava roynt at sleppa undan, og sum nógv hava talað ímóti í nógv nógv ár. Harafturat ber hetta brá av at vera ein lappaloysn, ella ikki loysn, men lappa-uppskot ið slettis ikki er gjøgnumhugsað ella gjøgnumviðgjørd.

Harafturat kann mann leggja, at havnin í Skopun hevur verið í ger ella undir útbygging (at síggja til uttan mál og mið mestu tíðina) í uml. 30 ár. So spreingir mann helvtina av streymoynni burtur til tess at gera Gomlurætt (sum sjálv, longu meðan hon stóð í gerð, varð kallað óðamannaverk), og byggir nýggjan Teista sum siglir í pendulfart - Men eru tær 1400 sálirnar á Sandoynni nøgdar við tað? - Nei, nei teir skulu hava meir - Og tað hava teir fingið, eina hálva millión krónur í part í Jólagávu frá restini av Føroya fólki.

Um mann nú skal vera eitt sindur beistaktigur so kundi mann sagt at tað uppá sikt hevði verið bíligari fyri restina av Føroyum, bara at givið hvørjum Sandoyingi hasa ½ mio. kr kontant, við tí treyt at teir fluttu av oynni innan 2 ár. Hetta hongur saman tí at um man roknar við einum miðal húski uppá 4 so høvdu tey 2 mio. kr. at keypa sær hús fyri aðrastaðni, og man hevði ikki haft útjaðaraútreiðslur av Sandoynni meir. Ná men líka mikið - hatta var bert eitt tankaeksperiment.

Um ein hinvegin hugsar sær at skilagóðir (og gjarna vælútbúnir), settu seg niður og gjørdu eina visjón fyri Føroyar (ikki eitt tómt skal eins og Visjón 2015) í framtíðini, við hartilhoyrandi, útbygging av infrastrukturi, lestrar- og granskingarstrukturi, vinnulívsstrukturi vm., og eisini tók skatta-, økonomi-, arbeiðsmarknaðar-, útflutningsvinklar uppí, ja so hevði eg verið fyri bæði einum Sandoyar- og einum Suðuroyartunnli, tí so kundi aðrir Føroyingar sæð (eisini svart uppá hvítt), at tað loysti seg at binda alt landið saman í eitt vegakervið. T.d. hevði tað økt munandi um dynamikkin í økonomiinum í hesum báðum oyggjum um man kundi haft service-fyritøkur ið kundu bjóða út sína tænastu til onnur enn egnar oyggja-búgvar.

Sum eg síggji tað, so er tað vit skulu liva av í framtíðini, at útflyta vitan. Og tí er tað umráðandi at vit skapa umstøður at toga heim allar teir hundratals sera sera vælútbúðnu føroyingar ið búgva uttanlanda, og ið ikki koma heim tí at her ikki eru størv til teir. Mín vón skal tí vera at vit fáa ein nýggjan stundentaskúla í Hoydølum og at Fróðskaparsetur Føroya fær økt sína játtan við 1% av tí játtan ið júst er givin Sandoyingum.

Allar seinast fari eg at ynskja, at føroyingar ikki velja inn "visjonerar" menn sum Gerhard Logberg, Marius Dam og teirra líkar (ongin nevndur, ongin gloymdur), ið eftir mínum tykki, eru beinleiðis skaðiligir fyri Føroyar. Føroyingar, beri nú Føroyar inn í 20. øld (og ja, eg meini tjúgundu), so kunnu vit royna 21. aftaná.

[en] How to remove ATI Catalyst from desktop right click menu

To remove the above I found a very good link here, where it says:

Removing the ATI Catalyst context-menu entry

  • Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ Background \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers

  • One of the sub-keys is the entry added by ATI software. (Usually named ACE)
  • Select the ACE sub-key, and then backup the key by exporting it
  • Delete the ACE entry, and close Regedit.exe

The only handler present by default (in a clean XP installation) is the New handler. If you find any additional sub-keys there, it may have be added by third-party applications. Usually, the software that comes with your graphic card adds entries to the above location.

[en] Mobile sound formats

So I downloaded a sound clip (in .amr format) from a Nokia 6230i phone and expected to be able to play it on my pc. Great was my dissapointment when this was not the case.
Having surfed around for a free converter I found Mobile AMR converter which is able to perform amr to wav, but not to mp3. This sufficient though, as a further conversion can be performed with for instance Audacity .

[en] Whale killing in the Faroe Islands



Today a herd of Pilot whales where killed in Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands. There is a article about this here. Also you can enjoy the beautiful images from the killings here in these two galleries: Gallery 1 and Gallery 2.

Long live the Pilot whale killings!

Having received criticism for this article I have deceived to add some more informative text on the killing from wikiedia.org - Whaling in the Faroe Islands.

From wikipedia.org:

Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practised since at least the tenth century.[1] It is regulated by Faroese authorities and approved by the International Whaling Commission. Around 950 Long-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala melaena) are killed annually, mainly during the summer. Occasionally, other species are hunted as well, such as the Northern Bottlenose Whale and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin. The hunts, called "grindadráp" in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organised on a community level; anyone can participate. The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semi-circle of boats. The boats then drive the pilot whales slowly into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.

Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history. However, animal rights groups criticize the hunt as being cruel and unnecessary.[2] [3] The hunters claim in return that most journalists do not exhibit sufficient knowledge of the catch methods or its economic significance.[4]



Good whaling... Jari

[en] List open ports on your PC

Have you ever wondered which ports are open on your PC? Both active outgoing and listening?
A tip is to use netstat which is built into Windows. I used the netstat -ano command (from the command prompt) to find a process which was using a port, which was meant to be used by another program. The above command will provide you with the Process ID (PID) of the program for each connection. The use the Windows Task Manager to find the PID (can be seen under the Processes tab, provided that you have selected the PID to be display).

[en] How to reinstall a computer

To reinstall a computer:
  1. Obtain a Windows CD, and make sure you have the licens key.
  2. Put the CD in the drive and reboot the computer.
  3. If the computer asks you to press a key, then do that, and it will the boot from the CD.
  4. If the computer does not do this, you have to enter the BIOS to change some stuff.
    • If you don't know what you are doing, then stop here! If there is a place where you have to know what you are doing, it's in the BIOS!! You can make serious damage there!! Call someone who knows stuff about computers, and ask.
    • If you do know what to do, then make the computer boot from the CD as first device, save the changes, and reboot the computer.
  5. The installation process will now start, and it may well take a while.
  6. Choos to make a new installation of Windows.
  7. When you get to the point, where you choose where to install Windows, and how, then choose the first drive (most often the correct choice), and choose to format it using NTFS, and choose the 'quick' option.
  8. Now its straight forward :-) Do as the computer asks you to.

This article also exists in Faroese.

Anti-virus

Avoid getting crap/sapyware/adware on your computer
  • Most people prefer to use Internet Explorer as web browser, however I would recommend Mozilla Firefox. It is faster, not as vulnerable to spyware/adware/virus and other crap. I would also recommend Mozilla Thunderbird as e-mail program/client. The advantages are the same as for Firefox.
  • Don't say 'Yes' or 'OK' when asked to install something on your computer, or to say 'Yes' or 'OK' to check your computer for virus, or to something else you are offered to install on your computer if you are browsing some webpage. Don't install any searchbar 'searchbar' that you are offered. And if you by accident install something, make sure to remove it as soon as possible.

[en] Media players/tools

Just to add a little piece on some media players/utils:
  • As a free DVD -player I recommend AVS DVD. It's free and without any adware.
  • As general media player I use WinAmp, nice, light, elegant etc (download the free light version).
  • As a ripping tool I use FreeRip. BUT BEVARE: It comes with some adware, so be carefull during installation.

[fo] Góð ráð til telduna

Niðanfyri havi eg gjørt ein lista yvir forrit/programmir sum kunnu hjálpa einum í ymsum støðum. Í mest møguligan mun havi eg sett frí/gratis forrit á listan.

Mítt besta ráð til telduna: Hav hetta í lagi: [Anti-virus] - [Anti-spyware/adware] - [Firewall] - [Windows update]

Spyware/Adware - (forrit sum gera fortreð á ymsan hátt)

  • Spybot S&D - Fjernar spyware v.m.
    1. Trýst á "Update", trýst á "Search for updates". Um har eru uppdateringar (síggjast sum ein listi niðanfyri), so høgra klikk mitt á listan og vel "Select All". Trýst síðani á "Download Updates".
    2. Trýst á "Immunize". Um hann biður teg "... please immunize", so trýst á tann grøna krossin ovast til vinstu har tað stendur "Immunize".
    3. Trýst á "Search & Destroy". Trýst á "Check for Problems". Um nakað verður funnið, trýst á "Fix Selected Problems".
    4. Hatta var tað!
  • AD-Aware - Fjernar adware/spyware v.m.
  • CCleaner - Ruddar ymiskt upp á telduni.
Anti virus

Ungang at fáa "skrebu" á telduna
  • Flest øll dáma best at brúka Internet Explorer sum browsara, men eg vil viðmæla Mozilla Firefox. Hann er skjótari, ikki so sárbarur fyri spyware/adware/virus og øðrum lorti. Eisini vil eg viðmæla Mozilla Thunderbird sum post forrit. Fordeilirnir eru teir somu sum við Firefox.
  • Lat vera við at siga "ja" til at installera ymiskt á telduna, ella við at siga "ja" ella "ok" til at kanna telduna fyri virus, ella okkurt annað um tú ert á eini heimasíðu. Ikki installera nakra leitibar "searchbar" sum tú fær bjóðað. Og um tú kemur at installera okkurt, syrg so fyri at fjerna tað so skjótt sum møguligt.

[fo] Installera Vista uppá 5min / [dk] Installér Vista på 5 min

[fo] Tað sær út til at man kann installera Windows Vista uppá 5 min... sí link niðan fyri.

[dk] Det ser ud til at man kan installere Windows Vista på 5 min... se link nedenfor.

Windows XP:
here

Windows Vista:
Installera Vista uppá 5 min /Installér Vista på 5 min (ITAvisen.no)

Originalt link: here

Originalur tekstur(Vista)/ Original tekst(Vista) [1] [2] :
==============================

Installer Vista på fem minutter


Ved å bruke en minnepinne kan du installere Vista på noen få minutter.


DVD-spilleren din er ikke i nærheten av hastighetene en god minnepinne gir deg. For litt over 400 norske kroner får du 4GB minne med meget god hastighet.

Glem halvtimes Vista-installasjoner
Å installere Vista tar kortere tid en sin forgjenger, Windows XP. Du må regne med ca. 20-30 min. Med en minnepenn som har en lesehastighet på 25MB i sekundet og en skrivehastighet på 14MB i sekundet kan du krympe tiden du bruker betraktelig.

Enkelt
Det er veldig enkelt å installere fra en minnepenn. Du trenger kun å formatere den, kopiere over filene og boote.

1. Start -> kjør -> skriv cmd trykk enter.
2. Skriv diskpart
3. Velg disk 1 (sørg for at minnepennen din er disk 1, skriv list disk for å sjekke)
4. Skriv clean
5. Skriv create partition primary
6. Skriv select partition 1
7. Skriv active
8. Skriv format fs=fat32
9 Skriv assign
10. Skriv exit og du er klar til å kopiere innholdet fra Vista DVDen over til minnepennen.

Dette gjøres også i cmd med denne kommandoen: xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\

Ta omstart av maskinen og boot fra din nye Vista-minnepenn.

Kurt Shintaku's Blog
===================

Here's some step-by-step instructions on how we do this, some of which was adapted from Josh's instructions, again, kudos to Josh.

  1. Acquire an ultra-fast USB 2.0 flash drive
    The drive I and my coworkers recommend is the Apacer 4GB Handy Steno USB Flash Drive HT203, 200X Hi-Speed USB 2.0. It's the fastest USB 2.0 Flash Drive that we've found - it has a read speed of 25MBytes/sec. & a write speed-14MBytes/sec and also works great as a ReadyBoost cache. You can get them from $56.99 each:
    http://www.directron.com/ht2034g.html

    Incidentally, once you've got Windows Vista up and running, you may want to consider getting an ultra-fast SDFlash card, installing it into your laptop or desktop, and leaving it there as a ReadyBoost cache. Why? It can't hurt and they're so cheap that it's worth getting. I personally got a SDFlash card for every one of my machines - the A-DATA 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card, 150X Turbo SD Card has a read speed of more than 22.5MB/s and a write speed of more than 15MB/s. You can get them for $19.99 each:
    http://supermediastore.com/adata-2gb-sd-secure-digital-card-150x.html
  2. Format the Apacer Flash Drive
    Run CMD.EXE and type the following. Note: This set of commands assumes that the USB flash drive is addressed as "disk 1". you should double check that by doing a list of the disks (type "list disk") before cleaning it. If you have multiple hard drives, like an SDFlash drive or a Multibay drive, you could end up wiping your second drive using this command.
    (This was a warning that Josh added to his post along with the following commands that I copied from him, so kudos to Josh)
    1. diskpart
    2. select disk 1
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit
  3. Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive
    Simply issue the following command to start copying all the content from the Windows Vista DVD to your newly formatted high speed flash drive.
    • xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\

And that's it. Boot up the machine, have it boot off the USB drive, and watch how fast the installation completes. If you thought Windows Vista installed quickly before (usually 20-25 minutes per install of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition) then let's see how you like having Windows Vista install in less than 5-10 minutes. The slowest part of the install will probably be the computer waiting for you to type in information in the setup fields, and even that can be automated using the Windows Automated Installation Kit.

(Oh yeah... and for you server jockeys: Windows Server Longhorn will be installable in the same way. Gone are the days of waiting more than an hour just to get the OS up and running!)
