GastroMand – food and drinks – for men by men!
Mar 6th
GastroMand.dk is a new danish website with recipes and reviews on food and drinks, which I have take part in designing. Besides the design part I am also a contributor.
GastroMand.dk
Here is a short translated description of the website:
On GastroMand we hate Anne Larsen and her girl talk in the kitchen – in return we love to make and eat good food with flavor and style (with all what that implies), so whatever you’re into homemade hot dog wearing a football shirt in front of the telly or Foie Gras at Fat Duck in London GastroMand is the place. We undertake to be the only place on the web where food and male jargon all comes together!
On GastroMand, we also take pride in providing recipes and reviews in a language that makes you always want to understand what we say, and not least mean, when we give our raw and unsweetened criticism, and “swings the knife” of everything from sausages over Christmas beer to champagne and Denmark’s most expensive (and cheap) restaurants!
GastroMand.dk in your language:
The site does not yet have language support, however the site can be viewed via Google Translate through this link: Gastromand.dk (english translated)
Free TV Channels

The danish public service channels from “Danmarks Radio” can be streamed and viewed directly from QuickTime, iTunes, VLC player etc. on both Mac and Windows by downloading a few channel files (.mov). This of course also opens the option to stream and view the channels in Frontrow on Mac:
All you have to do is to download the files and add them to your library:

A friend of mine is monitoring the channel streams at his website, here you can see how reliable each stream are >> Stream Status

Reduce MacBook Noise by Cleaning Fan
Feb 28th
For some time my 3 year old black MacBook has been having an increasing whizzing sound from the build-in cooling fan, and furthermore the temperature seemed to be increasing more over time than normal. I was quite sure that the noisy fan and the heat sink was filled up with dust, which would be the reason for the fan to run more than usual. A couple of days ago I finally pulled myself together, and disassembled my MacBook to find out whether I was right.
UPDATE: This is a complete guide on how to remove the MacBook fan: MacBook Core 2 Duo Fan Removal. From this point you can jump to my conclusion in the bottom.
I found the following guide on how to open the MacBook, and followed it precisely until step number 12:

From step 12, it was all about figuring out how clean the fan and heat sink. In order to do so, the fan had to be removed from its location.
How to remove cooling fan
The above image shows how to do it. The two screws (marked with circles) must be removed, and the tape (marked with rectangles) must be loosened. Finally the fan can be snapped out of its connector. Removing the fan revealed quite an amount of dust beween the fan and the heat sink, and the fan itself was also covered with dust. To clean the fan and heat sink I use cotton buds and a vacuum cleaner (be carefull using the vacuum cleaner on the motherboard). I believe the blowing compressed air on the part will be a more safe method to remove dust than the vacuum cleaner.
Conclusion:
After assembling my MacBook again, I found that the fan is run less that before my little operation, and also not as loud as before. It is not as soundless as when the MacBook was all new, but anyway I can recommend doing the effort of cleaning the fan and heat sink.
Boot Camp: Windows 7 on iMac – Fix Black Screen
Jan 4th
Recently I was making a Boot Camp installation of Windows 7 on my iMac, however, it did not go as smoothly as expected. During the installation process the screen went infinitely black, and it was not possible to continue the installation process.
Software versions:
- Boot Camp 3.0 (Mac OS X Snow Leopard)
- Windows 7
Doing a little search, I found the following solution on how to fix the problem.
Update: Apple has made a support article on the issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Solution (step by step from the beginning):
- Run Boot Camp Assistant from Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Applications -> Utilities)
- Create a partition for the Windows installation using Boot Camp Assistant
- Plugin your install disc and install Windows 7
- The system will reboot a couple of times during the installation
- The problem: The second time the system reboots, you the see the Windows red-green-blue-yellow animated logo, and then the screen goes black and hangs infinitely.
- Press and hold the power button on your iMac until it shuts down.
- Start the iMac again holding “alt” key, so you can select and load Max OS X Snow Leopard again.
- Run any application that let you work with NTFS partitions (e.g. Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X or MacFuse)
- Find the file “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS” on your BOOTCAMP partition, and simply delete it.
- Restart you iMac, and boot up Windows 7
- Now Windows 7 should boot normally
- Run update windows utility and install Boot Camp drivers from the Mac OS X install disc
