I wish Denmark had night markets

by Sander Tams 1. May 2011 00:38

If this was Taiwan, I would head out and buy me some nice night market food right away, perhaps with a little drink without too high sugar content from seven-eleven if I wouldn’t find an alluring enough booth selling drinks at the night market itself.
It’s 12:33am here and I could really use it. I’m doing assignments and am set on getting them done before heading to bed, but I’m really hungry and all the drinks and snacks here in Denmark is carbohydrates, bleh. I don’t like carbohydrate-rich food.

So going back to Taiwan.

Do you think that you can love me?

Got some slightly unexpected responses from two of my friends from posting this video on facebook, so I'll just share it here as well. It's really good.

It's E.D.I.T. by Capsule, one of my new fave Japanese bands. If you liked that music video, here's another great one from the same band:

Anyway. Yesterday I signed up for Plurk. If anyone is familiar with Plurk and has an account there, go ahead and Add me. Or at least just say hi or whatever. If you don't know what plurk is, it's a Taiwan based website a la something in between Twitter and Facebook.

I also wrote more stuff on Boonbot.com. Please check out my:
Post on the products exhibited at Computex 2010.

I'm still alive

I've noticed that traffic for this site went down a lot since I stopped posting often. Actually I've moved to another site where I do the main blogging, but it doesn't get the same amount of traffic as this site just yet. Actually traffic to this site fell more than it increased on the other one. I'm kind of sad. :(

Anyway, I've been writing about Computex 2010 that I went to recently. It was a really great show and makes me think if I might have a future in technology. Can't rule out the possibility that I will be supplying schools with all sorts of cheaper and improved alternatives to all the expensive stuff they already buy. Also think it could be fun to see if I can open up a webshop and sell eReaders or other gadgets, but I didn't have any related education in those kind of things except for Marketing and I have no money to start out with. Maybe I'll start an import webshop later in my life if I find some costumer interest in Denmark later in my life.

Anyway, have a look at my post on Computex Booth Designs:

Took a great photo this Wednesday

 Two beautiful Taiwanese students

Those two are my classmates. Also friends of Rachel - the girl who taught me Chinese before I went to Chihlee College. This picture was taken on a trip to Yingge which I have written about on boonbot.com. Link:

Yingge Ceramics Museum

I also made an RSS feed on the page now, so if anyone wants to switch their subscription over there, it should be fine. Of course you can always keep the feed from this blog as you can never know if I will still put some interesting stuff here.

Please enjoy. :)

Boonbot.com migration

I made a new blogpost, but it is on boonbot.com. Click the picture below to go there:

I've been getting some work done on boonbot.com and it now links around and allows me to put up blogs and images pretty easily. I also changed the style slightly on the site. I'm still not satisfied: The design is kind of temporary. I've been borrowing a lot of the style but really want to make my own: Most of all for the menu. But the outline should stay somewhat the same, that is: Menu should be in the same place, contain about the same things (and perhaps a little more). Structure of the blogs and photos and info should remain the same, but sometime soon I'm going to change the feel of the site to something more personal. Also, colours need to be used better.

All my blogposts have been put in there already and photos that are included in a blog will link to it. Kind of like trackback of a different kind. It's possible to comment, which should leave out the problem there has been with blogengine that this blog here runs on with the website not accepting comments sometimes. I programmed boonbot myself and it shouldn't have so much stuff to clock up in. If there's a problem anyway, I will be able to fix it with ease as it's my own code.

Be sure to put some comments onto my new site!

Please note that I now do most of my blogging on Boonbot.com. There, you can also find many photos that I take. Try and have a look at my post about Taipei Game Show 2010 or my posts about Computex. My little article on a few of my favourite Taiwanese Foods has also gotten quite popular.
