+
+Just the way the web has made distribution easier for independent musician, the same has happened for comics. I see a lot of fresh and interesting comics on the web these days, so I thought I'd share some of my favourites at the moment.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+## Stand Still, Stay Silent
+
+{% figure(img="ssss-comic.jpg") %}
+_Stand Still Stay Silent_
+{% end %}
+
+This is hands down some of the best I've seen on the web yet. It easily matches high quality comics in paper, has a interesting storyline and is updated every weekday! We're set in the future Scandinavia after some disaster has pretty much wiped out all of the rest of the world, and most of Scandinavia too. We follow a crew sent out on an expedition to reclaim some of the knowledge from the old world. This comic has a strong root in scandinavian mythology, and some absolutely beautiful artwork.
+
+[Stand Still, Stay Silent on the web](http://www.sssscomic.com/)
+
+## Wormworld Saga
+
+{% figure(img="wws-comic.jpg") %}
+_Wormworld_
+{% end %}
+
+Another great comic with a longer storyline. We follow a small boy in his adventures in a strange and different world, that he accidentally stumbles upon by walking through a painting in his grandmothers attic. The artwork is very well done, and the format is really made for the web in a way I haven't seen in any other comics. Each chapter is released only when it is complete, which is not too often, about one chapter a year or so seems to be a normal pace. The wait is worth it however, thought I find I have to refresh by re-reading the previous chapter whenever a new one is released.
+

+
+## Cheer up, Emo-kid
+
+{% figure(img="cheerupemokid-comic.png") %}
+_Cheer up Emo Kid_
+{% end %}
+
+This is a stripe series that is updated a few times a week. This is black humour, without too much regard for social norms or conventions. Most stripes are self-contained, but the artist sometimes make longer sequences too, like the classic http://www.cheerupemokid.com/comic/dog-part-1[``Dog'']. The comic is well done, but not in the naturalistic style of the comics above. It makes for a good laught, if you're not too easily offended. (And why should you be?)
+
+[Cheer up, Emo-kid on the web](http://www.cheerupemokid.com/)
+
+## Oglaf
+
+{% figure(img="oglaf-comic.jpg") %}
+_Oglaf_
+{% end %}
+
+I just recently stumbled upon this brilliant pearl of a panel based comic. Really well drawn, and with lot's on infantile, sexually loaded puns and jokes in a semi-medeaval setting. It's not too often I laugh loudly at work from reading anything on the web, with this one I did! (Be warned, less liberal workplaces may consider this comic NSFW, so check it out in private first.) Updated every sunday.
+
+[Oglaf on the web](http://oglaf.com/)
+
+## Pepper & Carrot
+
+{% figure(img="pepper-carrot-cover_by-david-revoy.jpg") %}
+_Pepper & Carrot_
+{% end %}
+
+Back to more family friendly stuff: Pepper & Carrot is a really cute comic
+about a young whitch, her cat and their various adventures in their world of
+magic, potions and dragons. This is a child friendly comic that still is fun
+and entertaining also for the adults. In addition to being a well made comic it
+is also one of the few where all the artwork is [free to use and
+reuse](http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/static2/philosophy) under the [Creative
+Commons Attribution Licence
+v4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)! Also all the artwork and
+the web site is made entirely using [free
+software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html)!
+
+[Pepper & Carrot on the web](http://www.peppercarrot.com/)
+
+I hope you will enjoy at least some of these comics! Check them out and follow them on RSS if you like them. Spread the word and support the great artist making such great art available on the free web.

+Velskrevet og interessant [innlegg i Dagbladet][1]:
+
+> Det er i seg selv problematisk at kirkevalget gjennomføres i sammenheng med landets demokratiske prosesser. Det er jo tross alt ikke til en del av staten det skal velges, men til et av landets mange trossamfunn. Et av over 700 tros- og livssynssamfunn.
+
+Akkurat her tar imidlertid forfatteren feil. Den norske Kirke *er* en del av staten, og det er nettopp derfor den har en egen lov, egne finansieringsordninger, og at kirkevalget gjennomføres i forbindelse med stortings- og kommunevalg.
+
+Ellers er jeg helt enig i forfatterens observasjoner og konklusjoner.

+
+A really great read from Duncan Campbell, the investigative reporter who exposed the Echelon program in 1988.
+
+> In my 40 years of reporting on mass surveillance, I have been raided three times; jailed once; had television programs I made or assisted making banned from airing under government pressure five times; seen tapes seized; faced being shoved out of a helicopter; had my phone tapped for at least a decade; and — with this arrest — been lined up to face up to 30 years imprisonment for alleged violations of secrecy laws. And why do I keep going? Because from the beginning, my investigations revealed a once-unimaginable scope of governmental surveillance, collusion, and concealment by the British and U.S. governments — practices that were always as much about domestic spying during times of peace as they were about keeping citizens safe from supposed foreign enemies, thus giving the British government the potential power to become, as our source that night had put it, a virtual “police state.”

+
+I en [artikkel i Aftenposten][1] kommenterer leder for [Rettighetsalliansen][2] Willy Johansen nyheten om at dansk politi er satt inn mot brukere av piratprogramvaren Popcorn Time. Han vil ikke gå for samme fremgangsmåte i Norge:
+
+> **Johansen mener den beste løsningen snarere er å pålegge bredbåndstilbyderene å blokkere trafikken.**
+>
+> \- Det er fort gjort, og vi mener at Kulturdepartementet etter å ha fastslått at Popcorn Time er ulovlig, burde fulgt opp med å pålegge bredbåndstilbyderne å blokkere Popcorn Time. Nå må vi gå rettens vei, noe som både er en tidkrevende og svært kostbar prosess, sier Johansen.
+
+Det som likevel bekymrer meg er at Johansen ser ut til å mene at det å sensurere internett på bakgrunn av kommersielle interesser burde være en trivialitet som man ikke trengte å blande rettsvesnet inn i. Det virker som han synes det er litt brysomt.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Det er jeg sterkt uenig i. Dersom internettilbydere skal pålegges å blokkere noe som helst så er det et absolutt minstekrav at det skal finnes en rettskraftig dom på akkurat det. Selv da er jeg tvilende til at dette er riktig fremgangsmåte. Sensur er et veldig alvorlig inngrep, å i det heletatt foreslå at dette burde kunne løses uten domstolenes medvirkning er rett og slett hårreisende!
+
+Nå er ikke det å sensurere internett særlig enkelt, så noen effektiv måte å stoppe en tjeneste man ikke liker er det uansett ikke. Det som snarere bekymrer meg er filmbransjens brennende iver etter å sensurere. Man skulle tro at en bransje som selv lever av å kunne uttrykke seg fritt ville være litt mer restriktive med å foreslå den utveien. Hvis først filmbransjen skal få blankofullmakt til å sensurere nettsteder de ikke liker, hvorfor skal ikke f.eks. oljebransjen få det samme?
+
+Hva burde de så gjøre i stedet? Hva med å lage noe som er bedre selv? [Koden][3] er tross alt tilgjengelig. Jeg skjønner ikke at bransjen ikke har tatt tak i den og bygget sin egen plattform på den. Det kunne både vi som liker film, og bransjen selv tjene godt på!

+
+From [The Intercept][1]:
+
+> That the cheating scoundrels of Ashley Madison got what they deserved was a widespread sentiment yesterday. Despite how common both infidelity and online pornography are, tweets expressing moralistic glee were legion. Websites were created to enable easy searches of the hacked data by email address. An Australian radio station offered to tell listeners on air if their spouse’s names appeared in the data base, and informed one horrified woman caller that her husband did.
+
+This is one leak we could live without. I agree it's important to expose lacking privacy/security in sites that claims more than they can deliver. Especially when charging for something that clearly has not been done. However, exposing private information about ordinary people is not the way to do this.
+
+This is just moralistic self righteusness in a digital equivalent to the inquisition. I'm not impressed.

+Ban noreply addresses!

+
+Noreply-addresses are way to common in my inbox these days. These are usually emails from some company, a website or an automated system that wants to notify me about something. Sometimes it is notifications I want, sometimes not. The source of the email is for the most part irrelevant, the important thing is: _I should be able to reply to any email!_
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+By all means, there's quite a lot of emails I would not normally respond to anyways, but that desicion should be mine. There may be a number of resons I want to respond, and preventing me from doing so feels like an intrusion. It's quite simply rude. If you're not capable of handling responses to messages you send out, you should not send them in the first place.
+
+Even worse is that a lot of these emails even ask for responses, but force me to use another medium (usually a web form, sometimes social media) to actually deliver the response. This is both rude, and unnecessary complex.
+
+Please respect normal [netiquette][5]: Identify yourself and provide a real email address as the sender of your emails!

+I discovered this wonderful band while attending the Fjell og Ord (Mountains
+and Words) festival at Finse 1222 this last weekend of september. Finse is
+located at the topmost point on the railway between Bergen and Oslo, and is an
+excellent base for walking in one of the most beautiful but harsh areas of the
+Norwegian mountains.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+In accordance with the theme for the festival - quiet - the band performed a
+purely accoustic set the first night. They're originally a six-piece, but for
+this appearance only three members was present. The next day we got to see a
+more "plugged" set where one of the accoustic guitars was exchanged for an
+electric one. There was also some more experimental use of effects on the
+vocals. Both sets were very well performed, and showed a band that's both
+confident and able to come close to the audience.

+I can't express how much respect these guys deserve for being back on stage in
+Paris less than a month after the horrible tragedy they and their fans had to
+endure. _This_ is the way to fight terrorism! To stand up unafraid and show
+that we won't let terrorists or powerhungry politicians dictate how we live our

+Rock'n'roll shows the way forward!

+title = "Why Java is not good as a first language"
+lang = "en"

+author = "harald"
++++
+
+During the spring semester of the last year, a friend of mine was trying to
+learn Java as part of her studies. I think it's great when anybody shows an
+interest in programming so I of course volunteered to help her out a bit. That
+was an interesting experience in many ways.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+On the one hand I found it very difficult to find ways to explain in plain and
+simple terms concepts that after decades of programming feel like second nature
+to me. Another challenge was of course to guide her towards understanding
+without giving her the answer to her excercises, especially when the email
+exchanges got rapid and I sensed the frustration rise at the other end.
+
+On the other hand though, the language itself also created some obstacles to
+learning in my opinion. To understand why, let's look at the seminal "Hello,
+World"-sample program:
+
+```java
+import java.lang.*;
+
+public class Hello
+{
+ public static void main(String[] args)
+ {
+ System.out.println("Hello, world!");
+ }
+}
+```
+
+There's not many lines of code here, and the gist of it is not hard to
+comprehend even for a beginning programmer. But there's a lot going on here
+that unnecessarily obstructs the understanding of the code.
+
+To fully understand this code, you need to be familiar with _classes_,
+_objects_, _methods_, _accessibillity_, _arrays_, _packages_ and _streams_.
+That's a very tall order for the first day of class. So what the teacher does
+is to teach the students to ignore the stuff they haven't learned yet:
+
+* Why do you have to write `public class Hello`? Don't worry about that, just
+ copy it for now.
+* What's the `public static void main`-thing? It's where you should write your
+ program, just ignore it for now.
+* What about the `args`? ...
+
+And they have to. There's no way you can get around this code without ignoring
+pretty much everything in it. That's bad for many reasons.
+
+Programming is about paying attention to details, not ignoring them. So this
+very way of introducing someone to programming encourages habits you have to
+unlearn again as you advance. Another reason this is bad is that since the
+students won't understand it, they will not be able to write it from scratch
+either. This again encourages them to use crutches like editor macros for
+generating code templates, or simply by copying something that works from
+somewhere else.
+
+Now contrast this to a programming language that was designed for learning:
+
+```pascal
+program Hello;
+
+begin
+ writeln('Hello, World!');
+end.
+```
+
+This is the same program written in Pascal[^1]. There's essentially nothing
+that even the novice programmer can not grasp here. You declare the name of the
+program, and write the code of your program between the `begin` and
+`end.`-statements. Output to the terminal is handled by a simple call to
+`writeln`, there's no need to know about streams, functions or anything else.
+
+Now it's easy to expand by introducing variables, loops, conditionals,
+functions etc. Along each step the students should be able to follow without
+having to repeat, memorize or copy incantations of unintelligible code that
+just has to be there. Once the basic concepts are learned properly it should be
+much easier to move to new languages, as it will now mostly amount to mapping
+the same concepts to a different syntax.
+
+It can of course be argued that "Hello world" is not a realistic example of
+programs that you will write as a student. You will quickly move beyond this,
+but to learn the basics the extra stuff still gets in the way. By removing the
+cruft and allowing the students to build understanding one concept at the time,
+they have a far better chance of learning anything at all. And there will be
+less bad habits to unlearn afterwards.
+
+Neither is it my intention to single out [Pascal] as the perfect teaching
+language here. [Ruby], [Python] and perhaps even [JavaScript] are also good
+candidates, as are numerous other modern languages. In fact I don't think the
+language itself is all that important. The important thing is that the student
+can understand the code she writes even from the very beginning. And that you
+can progress from there without having to bite over too many concepts at the
+time.
+
+[^1]: This is quite likely the first Pascal code I've written in 25 years!

+Let's Encrypt logo.
+{% end %}
+
+I've been following [Let's Encrypt] for a while, and the idea is as simple as
+it's brilliant! Make it so easy to add a encryption to your webserver setup
+that there's really no reson not to. Traditionally this has been both a
+cumbersome and potentially expensive investment. At least for smaller stuff
+like your average blog or community web site getting a certificate and setting
+it all up has been a hassle.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+So I really like the idea of Let's Encrypt, and since they've just launched
+their [public beta program] in time for the renewal of one of my certificates
+I decided to give it a spin. The process was surprisingly painless.
+
+The base Let's Encrypt program is already in the [FreeBSD ports collection],
+so installing it was as simple as running:
+
+ portmaster -P /usr/ports/security/py-letsencrypt
+
+There was quite a bit of dependencies to be installed, but the ports system
+takes care of that, and portmaster helps make the process really smooth. A few
+config options and 10 minutes later everything was built and installed.
+
+Next step was to generate the certificates. After a few misses I found the
+right invocation:
+
+ sudo letsencrypt certonly --webroot \
+ -w /usr/local/www/my_rails_app_dir/current/public/ \
+ -d mydomain.com -d www.mydomain.com
+
+Half a minute later I have my certificates in
+`/usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com`. I just had to update the apache
+config and everything worked right away.
+
+The Let's Encrypt website warns that you may have to shut down your webserver
+while it does it's job. That was not neccesary in this case. It seems this is
+only neccesary if you run with the `--standalone` option. The `--webroot`
+and `-w` options on the other hand allows you to specify manually where
+`letsencrypt` should put it's challenge files.
+
+The Let's Encrypt server then accesses these files using the regular webserver
+you're already running. Since this particular domain runs a [Ruby on Rails]
+app deployed using [Capistrano] I ended up with the path above.
+
+I had quite frankly expected that there should be more bumps. For one, this
+*is* still a beta, and they do warn that there will be bugs on their website.
+Further not all software developed for Linux runs equally smooth on FreeBSD,
+but this time there was no need for worrying.
+
+The plugins for apache and nginx are not yet available in the ports tree
+however, so I'm running things manually for now.

+
+Dagbladet kan fortelle at de vil [være først i Norge] med å publisere
+artikler direkte på en lukket og kommersiell plattform. Dette kommer i
+kjølvannet av at de vil [legge ned kommentarfeltene sine] siden mye
+av diskusjonen likevel foregår i andre fora enn deres egne kommentarfelt.
+
+Det siste synes jeg nok gir mening, og selv om det nok er noen som vil savne
+kommentarfeltene så tror jeg ikke dette vil hindre videre konstruktiv debatt i
+mer (eller mindre) egnede fora på nettet.
+
+Det første punktet bekymrer meg imidlertid litt mer.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Dagbladet var tidlig ute med å bruke web til å formidle nyheter i Norge. De har
+hele veien hatt en solid og gjennomført satsning på sine websider.
+
+Det fine med web er at det er et medium som ikke forutsetter noe annet enn at
+du har tilgang til internett og en nettleser. Det skiller ikke på hvilke
+nettleverandører du har, hvilken programvare du bruker til å lese sidene, eller
+hvor i verden du måtte befinne deg.
+
+Det finnes selvsagt metoder for å begrense hvem som får tilgang, men disse er
+mangelfulle og i beste fall verdiløse. Dagbladet har også stort sett vært
+flinke til å følge standarder og å sørge for at innholdet har vært tilgjengelig
+uavhengig av programvare og hvor man befinner seg. Unntaket er selvfølgelig
+betalingsveggen for tilgang til dere Pluss-innhold, men det er en litt annen
+diskusjon.
+
+Når Dagbladet nå går for å publisere noe av innholdet direkte på én utvalgt
+kommersiell tjeneste så viker de fra tankegangen bak det åpne nettet. Facebook
+er en kommersiell tjeneste hvor man enten er medlem eller ikke. For å bli
+medlem må man godta et ganske krasst sett med betingelser. Det er ikke gitt at
+alle ønsker det, og det kan ikke være et krav at man skal gjøre det heller. Er
+man ikke medlem får man heller ikke tilgang til tjenesten, eller i beste fall
+svært begrenset tilgang.
+
+Nå vet jeg ikke om Dagbladet har planer om å publisere dette innholdet
+eksklusivt på Facebook. Jeg både tror og håper at det ikke er tilfelle, men
+signalet de sender er likevel et som er ganske vesentlig: Fra å drive sine egne
+tjenester, hvor alle blir behandlet likt, vil de nå gi medlemmene av én bestemt
+kommersiell tjeneste forrang. Det er et skritt i feil retning, og et stort tap
+for den frie veven i Norge. Jeg er redd de eneste som kommer til å tjene på
+dette tiltaket er Facebook.
+
+Nå presiserer riktignok Dagbladet at dette er et eksperiment, og eksperimenter
+er jeg i utgangspunktet helt for. Jeg kan likevel ikke fri meg fra følelsen av
+at dette følger en trend som jeg mener er negativ.
+
+Dagbladet er forøvrig absolutt ikke blant de værste her. Det er en økende
+tendens til å anta at _alle_ er medlem av Facebook, og at man derfor kan
+erstatte informasjon på egne sider til fordel for publisering kun via Facebook.
+Selv om det er ekstremt mange som har tilgang til Facebook, er det hverken et
+fritt eller åpent medium.
+
+Facebook er en kommersiell tjeneste med sine retningslinjer, og sine krav til
+medlemsskap. De har også egne retningslinjer om hvilket innhold de godtar, og
+hva de ikke ønsker å formidle. Det er også helt greit, men det gjør at den er
+uegnet som et generelt publiseringsmedium.
+
+Web, eller den frie veven om du vil, er et slikt åpent og fritt medium. Siden
+ingen kontrollerer selve veven, er det et medium hvor alle fritt kan publisere
+og lese det de selv ønsker.
+
+Siden både Dagbladet og Facebook har sine retningslinjer kan det være lett å
+avfeie dette som et ikke-problem så lenge disse retningslinjene er noenlunde
+kompatible. Jeg er uenig i det.
+
+Ved å omfavne Facebook som en publiseringsplattform bidrar dagbladet til å
+legge ned den frie veven. Det blir enda et bidrag til å usynliggjøre alle som
+ikke er velkomne til å publisere sine ting på Facebook, eller de som bare rett
+og slett ikke ønsker det.
+
+Den frie veven er i ferd med å bli fullstendig overtatt av en håndfull
+kommersielle aktører. Det taper vi alle på i det lange løp. Med Dagbladets
+historie på veven som bakteppe, er det derfor veldig skuffende at de nå velger
+denne veien videre.
+
+Vi får bare håpe eksperimentet blir mislykket, selv om jeg tror jeg og
+Dagbladets eiere nok vil ha forskjellige kriterier for om det lykkes eller
+ikke.

+
+Monopolinstitusjoner er alltid problematiske. Det gjelder uavhengig av om det
+er et statlig regulert monopol, eller et de-facto monopol som har oppstått
+innenfor rammene av kapitalismen.
+
+PayPal er et slikt monopol når det gjelder betalingsløsninger på internett. Det
+finnes sagtens alternativer, men de er små, dyre, utilgjengelige eller gjerne
+alle tre på en gang. For alle praktiske formål er PayPal såpass dominerende på
+sitt felt at jeg føler det er riktig å betegne det som et monopol.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+At PayPal har lykkes i sitt marked skal man ikke holde imot dem, men når de
+gjentatte ganger bruker sin monopolmakt politisk blir det et problem. Det
+finnes mange eksempler på dette misbruket av makt.
+
+Mest kjent er nok [Wikileaks], som foruten PayPal også blir [boikottet av VISA
+og Mastercard]. I tillegg har [Diaspora*], [Protonmail] og flere blitt utsatt
+for PayPals politiske sensur.
+
+De fleste av disse sakene har løst seg etter at de aktuelle prosjektene klarte
+å samle nok publisitet rundt situasjonen, men det er ikke en holdbar løsning i
+lengden. Hva med de som ikke har nok velvilje blant en tilhengerskare til å
+samle nok publisitet?
+
+Sist i rekken (så langt) finner vi [Seafile.de], et selskap som driver
+med lagringstjenester a'la Dropbox men i langt mindre skala. De bruker den frie
+programvaren [Seafile], og i motsetning til Dropbox profilerer de seg på
+at de _ikke_ overvåker brukernes filer eller hvordan de bruker tjenesten.
+
+Seafile tilbyr også kryptert lagring slik at Seafile.de slett ikke kan overvåke
+filene som en bruker har valgt å laste opp kryptert. Dette ser ut til å
+være [selve ankepunktet] for PayPal, og grunnen til at de ikke vil betjene
+betalinger for selskapet lengre.
+
+Her bruker altså PayPal sin markedsmakt til å forsøke å tvinge en
+tjenestetilbyder å overvåke sine kunder ved å nekte å formidle betalinger for
+tjenestetilbyderen. Heldigvis lar ikke Seafile.de seg presse, og ser seg nå om
+etter en ny betalingsformidler - fortrinnsvis en i Europa.
+
+I et reelt og fritt marked ville dette selvsagt ikke være noe problem. PayPal
+må jo gjerne få bestemme hvilke kunder de vil ha og hvilke de ikke vil ha.
+
+Desverre så har vi ikke et reelt marked, og PayPals dominans på dette markedet
+gjør det svært problematisk når de bruker sin makt til å legge politisk eller
+andre former for press på kundene sine. Ofte finnes det ikke reelle
+alternativer, og man står mellom valget å ikke kunne ta betalt eller å føye
+seg.
+
+Som forbrukere har vi svært lite å stille opp med. Vi kan (og bør) unngå å selv
+være kunde av PayPal, men siden det er de som tar betalt som bestemmer hvilken
+betalingsofrmidler de bruker er det vanskelig å helt unngå å bruke dem.
+
+PayPals makt må med andre ord reguleres, og vi trenger alternative
+betalingsformidlere utenfor USA. Intill det er på plass bør vi styre unna
+PayPal så langt det lar seg gjøre.

+I dag er det nøyaktig fem år siden terroranslaget mot regjeringskvartalet og
+Arbeiderpartiets sommerleir på Utøya. Det var også en fredag.
+
+Fem år etter massakren er det likevel lite som tyder på at vi har lært noe som
+helst av hendelsen. Hatet mot innvandrere og i særdeleshet mot muslimer føles
+sterkere enn noen gang. Breiviks inspirasjonskilder slipper i langt større grad
+til i media, og forestillingen om muslimer og innvandrere får formes av
+motstanderne og haterne.
+
+Sårene var dype i dagene etter terroranslaget for fem år siden. Vi skylder oss
+selv og de som vi mistet at vi ikke glemmer, og at vi ikke lar sårene gro før
+hatet og rasmismen er rykket opp med roten og marginalisert.

+[Clowne][1] is something as rare as the pilot for a TV series produced by a a crew of Norwegian high-school students. Don't let that discourage you, this is really well made and very well produced!
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+We follow Gary Clowne (yep, that's his name) as he is released from prison, but only to be given a surprise sentence to a three year community service as a... you guessed it: clown. His new boss seems to be quite on the shady side, if not downright paranoid. His drug addicted friend and room mate does not improve much on the situation, and his newfound love, the nymphomanic Jen has a boyfriend, Dick - even if he seems rather dimwitted.
+
+All in all it's a very well made pilot with a good story, great filming and a dark, but humorous atmosphere. It's shot in Oslo, Norway, and makes great use of the city with some really nice locations that work really well with the story.
+
+The only problem I have is that they pretend the story is set in California, not Oslo. When you look at the episode you will see it looks nothing like California, but has Oslo stamped all over it. If this ever is picked up by someone and made into a full series, I do hope they put the story where it belongs, and stop pretending it's elsewhere.

+
+Here's my personal summary of the [Ramaskrik Horror film festival][] at Oppdal this year. I've been to Ramaskrik once before, but only for a short stop of one day. That was a very positive experience, so this year I wanted to go for the full festival.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Day 1: Thursday
+---------------
+
+{% figure(img="hotelldekor.jpg") %}
+The hotel decorations.
+{% end %}
+
+The first day of the festival starts off with the Ramaskrik horror train from
+Oslo to Oppdal. The festival has teamed up with [the railways][] to provide a
+special experience for those of us traveling by train. There's around ten
+people or so that shows up, and we're greeted by a friendly hostess, a goodie
+bag, and a short quiz to get things started. The train trip is quite long, so
+it's a very nice initiative to get people to meet and socialize before the
+festival. It doesn't take long for the nerdy film references and trivia to flow
+rather freely throughout the train cafeteria.
+
+Also the [festival hotel][] has taken it's task seriously. Upon exiting the
+elevator on our floor I was greeted with the decoration seen above.
+
+we arrived just in time for the opening film [Shut In][] from the US. Quite a good film in my opinion. It's a home-invasion style film with some interesting twists to the story. Director Adam Schindler and producer Erik Olsen was present and answered questions from the audience at the end of the film.
+
+Next up was [Lost after Dark][]. This is a high school gang meets canibal in a cabin in the woods type horror film. Didn't quite make it for me. It's all been done too many times before, and it does not bring anything new to the table.
+
+Day 2: Friday
+-------------
+
+A few beers, and some sleep later I was ready for the first film on day two. [Berkshire County][] dissapears a bit into the masses for me. It's well made, and has some good moments, but in the end got too predictable and I'm left with an impression of "I've seen this way too many times before."
+
+{% figure(img="jeruzalem-poster.jpg") %}
+_JeruZalem_ poster.
+{% end %}
+
+Second film of the day was [Jeruzalem][]. Backpackers, google glass, religious differences and demons in a good mix. The old city of Jerusalem lends itself well to this kind of story, although I have a feeling the movie could have taken a different direction about halfway through and been a better movie by doing so. Still, this was an enjoyable film, and quite worth watching in my opinion.
+
+[Children of the Night][] (aka Limbo) wasn't too well liked by a the audience. Personally I *did* like it, though. We join a journalist as she travels to a boarding school/nursery for children with a rare disease somewhere in the Argentinian outback. Naturally the schools children has some dark secrets. The film is a tad long, builds up slowly, and is a rather amateurish production. In my opinion it has a lot of charm, the story is quite original and is well told. If you're not put off by what it lacks in production, I think this is an original film with a lot of mellow humour.
+
+Another film I liked quite well was [Inner Demon][]. It is well made, and I especially liked depth and character given to the depiction of the "bad guys." It's not a very original film in any ways, but had an intensity and a focus that made it interesting still. Director Ursula Dabrowsky and main actress Sarah Jeavons was present and answered questions after the screening.
+
+Director Corin Hardy was also present to talk about his film [The Hallow][]. This was a very enjoyable film, I think. It's a classic monster movie, but incorporates irish myths in a good way and has some beautiful filming. I also liked that the monsters are played by real actors, and not done using CGI.
+
+After five movies in a row there was time for something to eat and a small break before ending the day with [German Angst][]. An anthology of three short films from Jörg Buttgereit, Michael Kosakowsky and Andreas Marschall. By far the highlight for this day, and possibly the best film of the entire festival. This is grim, german social realism mixed with the ugly and dark sides of human nature. Highly recommended!
+
+{% figure(img="finalgirl-4.jpg") %}
+Still from _German Angst_.

+
+Day 3: Saturday
+---------------
+
+{% figure(img="shrewsnestposter.jpg") %}
+Poster for _Shrews Nest_.
+{% end %}
+
+Saturday kicks off with [Crimson Peak][] at 10 O'clock in the morning. This is by far the most mainstream film presented at the festival, but it's still worth watching. Aestethically very nice and with a decent story this is a good chill without ever getting too scary.
+
+Next up was [Deathgasm][], a hilarious movie from the world of heavy metal. It makes a lot of fun about Metal, as well as the prejudice against the genres. As a metalhead myself I enjoyed this film immensely. If you like the films by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, or heavy metal of any sort you will feel right at home in this one. Highly recommended!
+
+[Grendel][] is a Norwegian amateur film where we follow a film crew on a production on an island that has some dark secrets. The film has some good parts, but is way too long. If you're interested in amateur film, this may be worth a look, but otherwise I think this may be too amateur for most viewers.
+
+The Spanish production [Shrew's nest][] on the other hand was a very nice surprise. Great performances by the actors, very nice filming, and tight and good storytelling makes this film work very well. A very good movie you definitely should watch!
+
+After a short break with some food, it was time to dress up with warm clothes and head out into the woods for a special screening of the brand new [Villmark 2 (Asylum)][]. This was a cool thing organised by the festival and some local companies. Quite atmospheric, and the film was very good too! Classic suspence, but with a good story set in an old asylum for treatment of tuberkolosis in Norway. The hospital is real, and is known to have housed some rather grim experiments on it's patients in the time after World War II. This is incorporated into the story, and gives it a good shin of realism while the story itself is of course fictional. Well worth watching, even if you have to see it indoors.
+
+There was one more screening this night that I had planned to see, but my head was quite full so I instead headed back to the hotel bar and some beers instead.
+
+Day 4: Sunday
+-------------
+
+Sunday brought three more films. [Spring][] is something as rare as a romantic horror thriller. Beautifully made, an enjoyable story and with good actors. I liked this one a lot!
+
+Another very enjoyable film was the Austrian [Good Night Mommy][]. Very dark story even if mostly shot in full daylight. As with German Angst, this is a film that can be uncomfortable to watch, and that's probably the exact reason you should. A good, original story and great storytelling makes this film a true gem.

+
+Last film of the festival for me was the US film [Cooties][]. Clearly the worst film of the festival. A lot of people spoke warmly about it, but I think it failed both as a horror film and as a comedy. You can safely skip this one.
+
+Short films and work in progress
+--------------------------------
+
+Throughout the festival there was also quite a number of short films and work in progress screenings shown in connection with the feature films. Here's a summary of the ones I saw:
+
+{% figure(img="canis08.jpg") %}
+Production shot from _Canis_.

+
+[Canis][]\: The stop motion with quite rough puppets works very well to build up a dark and depressing setting and a good story. The story is told without any dialogue, and the [soundtrack][] really accentuates the grim atmosphere. Clearly the best soundtrack of the entire festival. Very nice!
+
+[One-Minute Time Machine][]\: A fun film where a nerd with a one-minute time machine tries to hit on a girl that appears to be a scientist interested in time travel. Fun and original story!
+
+[The Fjords - All In][]\: A music video with a lot of nostalgia and nerdy retro aestethics. If you can remember the video game consoles of the mid 80's you will enjoy this one. Very nice!
+
+[Noe som skjedde på veien][]\: A hilarious short film about a car thief that get's more than bargained for when stealing a car. I liked this one a lot!
+
+[Sister Hell][]\: A nun joins the devil to pursue a life in freedom. Well made and with good effects.
+
+[Huset/The House][] (WIP): Director Reinert Kiil presented his coming film "Huset" (NOR) aka "The House" (ENG). We got to see some clips and the trailer for the film. He talked about the film and the process, and composer Kim Berg talked about the music. This looks like a very promising film to be released in february 2016. I'm definitely looking forward to this.
+
+Disappearing Darlings (WIP): A short film noir set in the world of insects. Animated using a live animation technique, that gives some of the qualities from stop motion but with actual live performances. This looks like a promising film that's both ambitious and looks like it will be fun to watch.
+
+Wrapping up
+-----------
+
+16 feature films, 5 shorts and two work in progress presentations was what I managed during these four days. There was more films I could have seen, but priorities and the need for some breaks dictated otherwise. I also skipped films that I have seen before (The Babadook) or don't care about (the american remake of Martyrs.)
+
+I'm really positively surprised about the quality of the films on the festival. The various horror genres is not always known for great production and acting. I enjoy films that may be lacking in these departments, but on this festival pretty much all the films had great production, good filming and good to great acting.
+
+All in all a great weekend, great films, cool people and a lot of fun. There's a good chance you will find me there next year too!

+
+[The Devil's Hand] from 2014 (not to be confused with the [film with the same
+title] from 1961) sets a nice atmosphere, but never becomes scary nor very
+exciting. The plot seems pretty obvious throughout the entire movie, but the
+ending lifts it up a notch. Not a bad movie, it has some interesting elements,
+and the setting is beleivable. Still I think it will fall a bit inbetween
+chairs for the horror fans.
