So today Tom asked me to do some research into places I’d like to visit in Denmark and Sweden when we go there after Wacken this year. We’ve been planning this little trip for a little while, but I never really thought much about what could be there. I don’t know much about these countries, just that they speak other languages and that the terrain is spectacular apparently.
Places I’ve seen (I’ll expand this list in the future) include:
Denmark:
- The Jelling Stones
- Fyn Island (or Funen), mainly Egeskov Castle.
- Copenhagen
Sweden:
- Ale’s Stones in Scania, South Sweden
- Visby medieval city on Gotland (if we can get there!)
- Stockholm
So back in England and working again. Here’s a couple of tech-related links I read about today:
Interesting? Well this is the first IE8-related article I’ve read, so I don’t really know what to make of it yet. I still am vehemently in love with Firefox, so it would take a miracle for IE8 to wow me. As for the bit on C#, just generally a nice little bit of code. I’ve not read through the comments, but I like the idea of C# object initialisers.
I still prefer LAMP though… I love LAMP.
So here I am sitting on the last evening of my short but sweet holiday, Hannah moaning that she needs a poo and has a stitch (charming, eh?). Just had my parents friends over for a spot of roast lamb which was rather tasty, and yesterday was spent in Sarlat in a restaurants that was plagued by power cuts (silly French, eh?). I shall be travelling home tomorrow from the excuse for an airport that is Bergerac, back to busy hectic Portsmouth, oh joy. At least I’ll have my X-Box back.
So Frosthold started recording on 19th Jan 2008, initially in the Old Blacksmith’s Studio in Portsmouth. We currently have drums and bass tracks down and recorded, although I haven’t heard it myself, apparently sounding good. Next step is guitars then vocals! I can’t really give much of a “studio blog” as I wasn’t there of course, I was in Durham…
So it’s been a few days since I last posted, I was a bit ill over the weekend, but fine now. I’ve noticed myself listening to Emperor a lot recently, as some of you may know, I go through cyclic phases of loving a particular band, and it seems this time it’s Emperor (for the umpteenth time).
