It's raining frogs

May 26th, 2006

In the film Magnolia it rains frogs at the end of the movie. I had to search the Internet and find out why - here is an explanation http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/6315-idiom-raining-frogs.html.

Elins opinion was that this was mentioned in the bible, so I had to do a new search. So from this site "The secrets of Magnolia" http://kempa.com/articles/mag82/ I found

Exodus 8:2 in the bible reads: "And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs." Supposedly there are over 100 occurances of the numbers 8 and 2 within the movie, foreshadowing the coming 'storm'. The '100 references figure comes from the following interview excerpt:

In Norwegian:

Fra Andre Mosebok 8.2:

Da sa Herren til Moses: «Gå til farao og si til ham: Så sier Herren: La mitt folk fare, så de kan tjene meg. 2 Nekter du å la dem fare, vil jeg plage hele landet med frosk.

Fant dette på http://www.bibelen.no, jaggu var de glade i frosk i Andre Mosebok gitt!!!

E-Norge and Open Standards

May 23rd, 2006

From a mail I got here the other day

Hei

Jeg er lei meg for at det har gått så lang tid før du har fått svar fra oss.

Spørsmålet om bruk av åpne IT-standarder er noe vi arbeider intenst med her i departementet om dagen. Som du har sett av rapporten fra i fjor (og høringssvarene) så har det vært stor interesse omkring dette. Det er mange statsetater og kommuner som er opptatt av om det kommer føringer og krav som vil koste penger. Mange utenfor offentlig sektor blir også berørt. Derfor må vi passe på å vinne forståelse for saken i relevante miljøer og legge til rette for gode analyse- og beslutningsprosesser som instansene kan ha tillit til. Med andre ord er det et betydelig forankringsarbeid som må gjøres. Regjeringen har behandlet saken, se pressemeldingen fra 7. april:
http://odin.dep.no/fad/norsk/aktuelt/pressesenter/pressem/071001-070013/dok-bn.html

Neste steg er, som det fremgår av pressemeldingen, å etablere et eget standardiseringsråd som kan utarbeide anbefalinger på konkrete problemstillinger. Jeg regner med at du vil se flere nyheter om dette i løpet av sommeren/høsten, men jeg kan ikke være mer konkret akkurat nå. Etterhvert som vi får dette apparatet til å "rulle" vil vi ganske sikkert legge opp et nettsted hvor alle interesserte kan følge med på det som skjer angående IT-standarder i det offentlige.

Takk for interessen!

mvh
