This morning even more so, this is what @Jyri tweeted:

For all you interested in the Mythology Club, @kio_pio who started it has created a page explaining how it works: http://bit.ly/cvK7Cu

That resonated with me, so I checked out the site’s about page http://mythologyclubnyc.wordpress.com/about/, the basic idea is outlined the abstract:

What Is Mythology Club?
Mythology Club is a sporadic gathering of people who like to tell and listen to stories. It’s myths as they were meant to be, it’s a sociable way to get some literary and historical awesomeness in your life.

Here’s how it works. We get together for an evening of mythological storytelling and lots of booze. So far it’s been a group of 15-20 people, with between 4-6 people as storytellers each evening.

If you’re a teller, you pick your favorite myth/classical tale (from any culture), and you tell your rendition of it to the assembled throng. The definition of myth is loose. It could be from a classical tradition like Greek, Egyptian, Norse. It could also be the Ballad of Stagger Lee, or your own whopping fish story if it’s personal classic. The main thing is that it has a ritual quality that comes from repeated telling, and you make it yours. You don’t have to be an expert storyteller. We’re a friendly lot.

Doesn’t that sound like great idea? I mean I know of similar concepts, like BestTellers, but they tend to be less inviting, and the storytellers tend to be professional

Mythology Club has a BarCampy feel to it, and it might, eventually, turn us into pros.

So who’s first to syndicate this? I think Mythology Club Copenhagen has a nice ring to it, and YES I’ve already picked my first myth, for hints look here: Kong Skjold

So recently I’ve taken the positive-sharing metaphor to real life (IRL), and it has worked quite well I’d say. I’m calling this to IRLike or iRLinking.

I get the best feedback when I iRLike tattoos, everyone seems very flattered, I guess that has something to do with the fact that getting a tattoo sends a signal that you’re confident crossing barriers.

iRLiking jewelery, usually works quite well too, but I don’t think I’ll iRLike teenagegirl’s jewlery again, it is sending mixed signals.

The idea here is to reengineer reality in the spirit of positive sharing, much like facebook has done, and then log-off and have some fun, people!

HAPPY iRLiking!

Har det nok “lidt” svært med Paulus, men det lyder da dejligt, og set ude af den samlede kontekst, er det jo her det jeg vil kalde Kristendommens “blanko-check”, bliver udskrevet af Paulus:

Epistlen skriver apostlen Paulus til romerne: Så er der da nu ingen fordømmelse for dem, som er i Kristus Jesus. For livets ånds lov har i Kristus Jesus befriet mig fra syndens og dødens lov. Det, som loven ikke kunne, fordi den kom til kort på grund af kødet, det gjorde Gud: Han sendte sin egen søn i syndigt køds lighed og for syndens skyld og fordømte dermed synden i kødet, for at lovens krav skulle opfyldes i os, som ikke lever i lydighed mod kødet, men i lydighed mod Ånden. Rom 8,1-4

Kilde: Bibelselskabet

Ved nærlæsning siger det jo blot at Ånd er højere end kød, så helt frit valg er der jo ikke på hylderne, men frelsen er garanteret hvis man følger “Rabi” (lever i lydighed mod Ånden).

Det gør det jo ikke just lettere at være Kristen, da der er rigtig mange hylder at tage ned fra.

I love this song, below are the lyrics, in English, and the chords – yes now that I have a guitar, again, I might give it a shot

When I say “worked for me”, it means that it might not work for you, but the problem is likely to be caused by another missing DLL.

Frustration
For days I was struggling with an error that meant that I couldn’t debug web-applications from Visual Studio 2008, if I tried to debug a web-application, it would simple show a stack-dump that stated:

The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×8007007E)

What made it even more strange, was that we had a completely identical computer, in terms of hardware and operating system (Windows 7 64-bit), that didn’t show this behaviour.

The most wonderful thing about the error was that it stated that a specified module could not be loaded, but it didn’t tell me which? Great!

Google to the rescue? Not really! Since this is a very generic error, and a lot of people seem to be experiencing it, and I couldn’t see any pattern in the answers people came up with.

First I tried to reinstall Visual Studio 2008, and, as I expected, that changed nothing.

From Google the evidence was piling up, some file(s) was missing, but why was it working on the other computer.

I clearly needed the help from some tool A tool called “Dependency Walker” (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) was suggested, and it told me that I was missing the files GPSVC.dll and IEShims.dll, but both files were present on the system. GPSVC.dll in a 64-bit version though, IEShims.dll was present in both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version.

After strugling with this problem, looking for 32-bit version of the DLLs, I came to the conclusion that “Dependency Walker” was showing false positives, the two files seems to be hidden, at least when using the method of inspection that “Dependency Walker” uses. “Dependency Walker” might be useful to locate missing dependencies of other files, so I’ll keep it in my arsenal of tools, for this particular problem, it sent me looking in the wrong direction though.

Process Monitor
My next idea centered around the fact that a file was missing (DOH ). I knew of a utility that can monitor file-system access, I just couldn’t remember the name, and Google wasn’t immediately helpful, eventually I found a mention of “Process Monitor” (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx), and that seemed to be what I was looking for.

“Process Monitor” shows that there’s a lot going on, so I started experimenting with the filters, the easiest way to configure a filter is to right click on a message that looks irelevant, and then select “Exclude”, the right click is context sensitive to the column you’re clicking on.

I quickly focused on the events with the Result: “PATH NOT FOUND” and since I was looking for file-system access, I excluded all events where the Operation was begining with “Reg”, meaning a Registry access.

I suggest that you look for attempts to load a file by traversing the “PATH” environment.

Solution found: MSCVR71.DLL was missing
There was a lot of activity going on, but ended up focusing on a particular file: MSCVR71.DLL, and it was indeed missing

This screen-shot from Process Monitor highlights the problem when the MSVCR71.DLL file is missing:

After I copied the MSVCR71.DLL file to a location where it could be found by Visual Studio, the problem disappeared.

So why didn’t we see the error on other computers, with a seemingly similar configuration? It’s because the MSVCR71.DLL is distributed with several other software packages, and on the computer where Visual Studio 2008 worked, MSVCR71.DLL was installed with two packages: “Java Runtime Environment JRE6″ and “DropBox”, and the installers had added these to the PATH environment variable. Since these packages might be found on many developer-machines, this could explain why this problem is not showing up more often.

BTW: Now that I know the solution, it is, of course, very easy to find a post that gives the solution DOTNET Spider: .NET Error: the specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×8007007E). Number one hit when Googling for “The specified module could not be found” msvcr71.dll.

Ingen Københavnertur var komplet uden en tur i Jordbærkælderen. For mig var hittet gulerodssaft, men de var specialister i alle former for grøntsagsdrikke, og som sådan vel egentlig en forløber for de trendige caféer der dukkede op i 1980′erne.

Jordbærkælderen prøvede at holde stand med en uændret stil, og jeg må med skam erkende at jeg ikke gav dem den støtte de fortjente. Jeg trøster mig med at de nok havde bukket under for konkurrencen fra la-lat-barer, burger-barer og hjemme-grøntsagspresseren, men jeg føler mig alligevel med-ansvarlig.

Man blev hensat i en helt bestemt stemning når man trådte ned i Jordbærkælderen. Rummet var aflangt og smalt med spejle på væggene, der fik det til at virke meget større end det rent faktisk var.

Møblerne var i rødt imiteret læder og væggene havde den obligatoriske nikotin-patina. Der var noget ubeskriveligt tidløst over stedet, der gjorde at man fik en fornemmelse af at man var trådt ind i en helt anden dimension.

Det første man bemærkede var grønssagspresseren, et stort metal-monster der lavede en vidunderlig larm, og var placeret ved en speciel skranke. Mens man ventede på sin drik, kunne man kigge op på strøget, hvor man kun kunne se folks sko.

I dag er der kun een ting der hensætter mig i den samme stemning, nemlig synet af den gamle skopudser stol på Hovedbanegården. Stolen var faktisk fjernet en kort periode, men den er nu tilbage – tak for det.

Min barndoms Københavnertur kan opsumeres på følgende måde:

• Forsædet i et af de gamle S-toge – Der fandtes et sæde i de gamle S-toge der var placeret ved siden af styrehuset hvor man kunne kigge ud af forruden og se sporet. Det var stort
• Magasin du Nord – Icecreamsoda i det gamle cafeteria
• Jordbærkælderen – Et glas gulerodssaft eller to

Som teenager kom min mor ofte i Jordbærkælderen da hun var under uddannelse.

Min mor foræller:

Den første gang jeg var i Jordbærkælderen var i 1952. Det bedste man kunne få var noget så eksotisk som tykmælk med puddersukker til 80 øre. Dengang kendte man kun tykmælk, som det der var på toppen af en for gammel mælk.

Jeg var så glad for tykmælk med puddersukker, at jeg engang gik fra Rådhuspladsen til Jordbærkælderen med en sut i munden for at få en portion, en anden gang var det med en uattraktiv stikhue trukket langt ned over ørene, noget af en bedrift af modebevidst frisør-elev.

Jordbærkælderen førte et bredt sortiment af mælkedrikke og is, det mest ekstravagante var en banana-split til 2 kr., det var “hundedyrt”.

Min mor mener at det var familien Sømod, måske dem med bolcherne, der ejede Jordbærkælderen. Der vist basis for lidt research, det kommer i næste version.

Det er Børnehjælpsdag i dag, og nede ved CITY-2 står der den sejeste pigespejder og sælger lodder.

Nu ved hun hvad pengene går til. Det er bla. Ordskælv! og Netværksgruppen i Mjølnerparken, der BEGGE har vundet Lillebrorprisen.

Jeg købte 5 lodder (100 kr. hun fik den første af de nye, frisk fra pressen), hun sagde at der ikke havde været en enste der købte mere end et lod.

Hun talte om at hun havde travlt og var presset, som om hun var voksen, det var hun ikke, hun var kun 10!

HOLD DA OP HVOR VAR HUN SEJ! Hvis det ikke giver håb for fremtiden så ved jeg ikke hvad gør.

Lørdag den 8-Maj-2010 vil gå over i Kimshistorien som den bedste dag i hans liv, inden dagen er omme har vi nok 5-10 blogindlæg med optimisme.
