Daylight Savings Time for Sweden and most of Europe – Winter 2011
It’s that time of year again peeps. As I said when I posted about setting your clocks forward one hour a while back I am finally, 32 years of age, starting to remember in what direction to turn the clock. Now it’s just about remembering on what date.
So here it is *drum roll* (click READ MORE!):
Google Analytics iPhone app – Analytics Pro vs Quicklytics
Google Analytics is extremely comprehensive and full of detailed information about who and what might be visiting your website. However it is not very end user friendly and it is easy to get lost in the web based user interface. Accessing your stats on the go is a quicker and more convenient way of viewing these stats and while no replacement for the web based interface it comes pretty darn close with apps such as Analytics Pro that also supports exporting and printing. Maybe it is a bit misleading having the VS in the title since I actually use both of these apps equally, a little bit depending on how much time I have on my hands and how much info I want to access. Read on for a comparison of these two apps for the iPhone.
The demolition of Halmstads sports center in video and pictures
For a while I have been taking some pictures of the ongoing demolition of the sports center in Halmstad (Halmstads sporthall). It’s a combination of my fascination with old, rusted and eerie buildings and the fact that I pass this area several times every week, therefore I have been given a great opportunity to document its demise over a long period of time.
Last time I walked past I also captured when one of the last sections of the sports center collapsed as you can see in the video below.
Vacation when you are running your own company
Boat ring by Nissan in Halmstad.
It’s hard to coordinate, and I can’t really say that I have been able to do it successfully, atleast not in my own country. It’s a combination of loving what I do, I just can’t stay away from it, and the fact that it’s always easier to “disconnect” when visiting another country when perhaps your phone won’t work that good and you are focused on other things, new and unseen.
This year I will stay in Sweden most of the time with a couple of visits to Denmark and Copenhagen which is quite close to the west coast about 2 hours from Halmstad.
Let me know through the contact page if you are visiting Sweden or Denmark and maybe we could meet up for a coffee or beer! I’m also on Twitter @ErikRudling (English) and @ErikSWE (Swedish).
Have a good summer!
I have earned my first cup of coffee through Google Adsense
As I have mentioned previously I am writing the articles here partly for slightly egoistic reasons, for me to have something to look back upon as a resource, but perhaps mostly for you guys. If I can help you make better informed decisions when choosing what type of software or service to go for without having to go through page after page of link farms then I am happy.
19.53 Swedish crowns or about 3USD / 2EUR, this sites first AdSense earnings.
That being said I do have advertisements from Google Adsense in the right column —> out of the way and not very intrusive and also in the middle of the articles. I am doing this mostly out of curiosity and to find out how monetizing works (making money on your website).
How the Google+ Project’s lack of Google Apps support increased my unique visitors by 700%
This blog does not generate thousands of visitors each day, much because it’s quite new and I have no real aspirations of making profit on it, I’ll admit that if I do make profit I won’t complain though. I’m doing this because I like what I do on a daily basis, and this blog is a great way to record this both for me and to help other people out. When I posted the Plaxo VS Soocial article there was a noticable increase of visitors. This was due to more retweets on twitter, attention from Plaxo themselves and more Facebook sharing than I ever had before.
The other day though, a much more drastic increase of visitors took place. This post is about how an article on one of Google’s major flaws and the neglect they sometimes show their Google Apps customers, paying or non-paying, increased my unique visitors with nearly 700%, atleast for a day.

Soocial VS Plaxo – How to sync contacts between Google Apps domains, Gmail and Hotmail
I also replied to some questions regarding this subject on Quora here and here.
There’s a notable lack of good software to bring all the different contacts on several different platforms available today such as mobile, desktop and multiple Google Apps accounts. Even though contact enriching services such as Gist tries to do this it fails on a couple of points that are critical to me.
- No two way sync with for e.g Google Contacts (this is a MUST!)
- Slow and bulky UI
Today I use Google Contacts on my primary Google Apps domain as my base, my one point of sync for mobile (iPhone) and desktop devices. My first encounter with the need to sync between several Google Apps domains occurred when I started up another business and wanted to have my business contacts on more than one Google Apps domain.
