The Shell internet connection doesn’t allow people to listen to webradio. A pity. All local stations are therefore blocked. So alternatives are required. People bring in MP3 players or listen to CD’s. Options, but I prefer the radio. So today I remembered my Swedish favorite! Bandit Rock 106-3. What kind of music they play can’t be a surprise, as it’s all in the name. And, as I rightly expected, they are not blocked by the Shell internet connection! :-)
Funny detail when I surfed to the Bandit website, they use a custom cursor for the links on their website. Tonight when I opened the website in my preferred browser Firefox, it turned out the custom cursor doesn’t work in Firefox (only in Internet Explorer 6+)… Little disappointment, which only grew bigger when it became clear the whole online radio thing doesn’t work in Firefox… but anyway, that’s besides the point. The point that I liked their eye for detail!

So for you out there who don’t like using Internet Explorer either, but are curious, this is the cursor they use and where you can listen to their music:

No, not talking about the horrifying TV-show, just this simple blog. Yes, already after 3 months it was about time for one… badly I must say. Initially I was just lazy and only changed the stylesheets that came with the default WordPress installation, but now I went a bit more wild, and changed a whole lot more. Under little pressure of Peter I must add, showing me a couple of nice examples of how a real blog should look and feel! And silently saying mine was far from it! :-) Well, I went to work, and see here the initial result! It could be that functionality is a bit shaky here and there, but that’s because I am not totally done yet… It should get more steady in coming days/weeks! :-)

For those people who preferred the green look and feel, you can get nostalgic by clicking here.

And of course, feel free to share your thoughts on the new look and feel! All comments will be considered, so no need to be gentle! :-)

Update (June 8, 2005):
Removed nostalgic link… Nobody will miss it and it’s just to much hassle to get it to work with the new WordPress version.
