This is a test of the lightbox script. It seems to work quite nicely. Try and click the thumbnailed image.

So we are nearing a release of www.momondo.com. I am really happy with the results. We have moved all the different services to different servers which has resulted in a serious improvement of performance on the site. Results are blazing out.

Also, the work we have done with ensuring the quality of the robots and adding many new robots, the data quality is excellent. I have no doubt that our site has the best coverage out of all the different sites that seem to be opening lately.

I hope you will all go check it out and book your next vacation through our links (which will in turn give us a small kickback from the airline), so that the site can become the success that, I believe, that it deserves.

I mean, who cares what the flight is like, as long as you can trust the airline, not to crash the airplane. Okay, so it's not just me that thinks that, but people in general. The success of low-cost carriers like easyJet and RyanAir.

So, what I do for a living, is make a low-cost carrier search system. The system itself is called SpeedFares and is targeted at business travel agencies as a complimentary system to their GDS (Global Travel Distribution System) which mainly includes classical airlines, like, SAS, KLM, Lufthansa, and the likes.

So lately we've been toying with the idea of taking our search engine to the web. I've recenly finished a "to-the-bones" version of the search engine. Programmed with Ajax techniques. It has a spiffy dropdown for choosing the cities to travel from and to, and a very cool dynamically updating price comparrisson page. In short I'm pretty proud of the result.

So, if I caught you interest you can go see how you can travel cheap on Momondo for yourself. I hope you will like it, and that you will use it the next time you are going to go somewhere.

If you feel any routes or carriers are missing feel free to leave me a note here.

I've always loved Lego. Being a Dane, I'm also proud of Lego, because it's probably the most popular Danish invention ever.

So one of my friends sends me a link for something new Lego thought up: Lego Factory. It's just up my alley: Create your own Lego designs in a program, upload it to their site and buy the pieces needed to build it yourself.

Pure genious.

As Kellan Elliott-McCrea writes on his site laughingmeme.org IDMB.com is in serious need of RSS support.

I've been using IMDB since it was just a collection of text files that I got through a friend that worked in a place that had Internet access in the early 1990's. The IMDB site has evolved to a very useful database query system, but additions of RSS feeds for specific actors, movies, news and such would really improve my IMDB experience.
