Random words and phrases – Pondus inspired

Posted October 3, 2009 * Comments(1)

I har ikke skrevet anything for a while, so whilst I read the new edition of Pondus I figured I might as well note a few nice ord and phrases I stumble across. I’ll also mention a few day-to-day things that I’ve come across that may be nyttig. Oh, and of course be a bit forsiktig with the “Pondus ord” because many of them are of course quite “slangy”!

  • Det står ingenting på denne lappen – There is nothing on this ticket
  • Overbevist – Satisfied
  • Vellykket – Successful
  • Du er nødt til å… – You really have to…
  • Ta en blund – Take a nap
  • Kan jeg få en sånn – May I have one of those/these? (Whilst pointing at something)
  • Kjempeflaks – Really lucky
  • Kollisjonsputer – Airbags
  • Jeg må tidlig opp – I have to be up early
  • Litt skuffa – A bit disappointed
  • Vidunderlig – Wonderful
  • Jeg er lei av… – I’m sick of…
  • Jeg vil du skal… – I would like you to…
  • Åpenbart – Obviously
  • Ødelegge – Destroy
  • Takk og lov! – Thank goodness!

*vis words that I like:

  • Sannsynligvis – Probably
  • Tilfeldigvis – Accidentally
  • Forhåpentligvis – Hopefully
  • Heldigvis – Luckily

* P.s. When I write på engelsk I am borrowing a format that I really like, used by Kari in her Norwegian blog. I urge you to subscribe to that one too!

PHP Session settings ignored?

Posted October 3, 2009 * Comments(3)

I just read an extremely interesting post which explains an unwanted side effect of garbage collection by some Debian based systems. This cleanup process causes (maybe amongst other things) sessions to be cleared every 24 minutes, regardless of any ini setting you have set after the php.ini file is parsed (for example using ini_set() – if you are a symfony user, this is done during initialisation based on a setting in your factories.yml file).
