Ru natur

Ru Natur på Utsira is my new Opera blogg in Norwegian. Added in Link  

Opera a lot more than a web-reader

Snapshot of my opera-page in Opera-view. Opera involves more than just a web-reader it's a whole community. With own blogs, photo pages and so on. Download opera
I'm impressed but can't cut the wire to Mozilla Firefox yet.
Like and Dislikes:

It's fast and yesterdays pages are fast up and down in one click. Magic stick arranges all passwords. You get a free blog, free photopage, and a link out to other opera members. (moust people nowdays has a Blogger, Flicker, and/or a Google account - Operea can be all in one) , and it's a Norwegian product!

Cant' open my Google calendar and not so helpful in general in Google-society, such as picasa pictures direct to this Blogger blog. In Plone (my web-publisher) opera does not show my kupu-editor or the FCK editor in the older 2.1 plone version. But still it's very interesting. And probably first choice if I had a laptop?

Kvit-vingen på Svensk

Kvit-vingen var på Utsira høsten 2002 til våren 2003. Sist sett 16. januar 2003. En annen 'hvitvinge' med mindre hvitt på vingen gjestet Utsira ved en senere anledning.

Barnebokforfatter Grete Randsborg Jenseg var innom min kråkeside på kommuneportalen. Kvitvingen ble en av figurene i hennes bok Fabel Jakob (kvitvingen er fortelleren i denne boka) og senere oppfølgeren Fabel Jacob ... og den hersens kjærligheten. Grete er svært allsidig tekstforfatter og er muligens mest kjent fra Barne-tv med bla Lilly's Butikk. Nå er hennes to Fabel Jakob bøker ute på det Svenske markedet.

Ved overgang til Plone ble mye av kråkearkivet borte. Har oppdatert mye av materialet i form av pdf-filer. Kråke arkivet er lagt til og flere kråkenyheter vil i framtiden oppdateres her. Har også funnet fram kråke-rappen fra Utsira CD'n Rekved til Eddie Andresen/Allan Vigre.

Nyeste Grimsby fan!

Det er av sine egne man skal ha det! Det var Chelsea og Liverpool som hadde sin storhetstid når jeg gav litt av mitt hjerte til Ipswich. Grimsby Town er naboklubb, gamlehjem for gamle Ipswich-stjerner og fødestue for nye Ipswich talenter.

Broderen er nyeste Norske Grimsby-fan medlem nr 29. Velkommen etter i fan-klubben kjære broder!

Bildet er hentet fra Hytta på Homme hvor det ennå utkjempes harde fotballkamper mot brødre og søskenbarn. Geotaggen viser Kvinesdal selv om foto er plassert et godt stykke fra kommunegrensa!

Plone 3,0 in March 2007!

Plone 3,0 looks promising indeed!

We'll (Utsira Municipal portals) wait for the versioning tool So why bother uppdate too 2,5?

Zope in bottom layer and Plone on the top layer, is the future! Other top layers are: Silva and Nuxeo

New Year and in need of sorting out your mind?

FreeMind is the answer!
(free download track your languae, my winsnap photo show menu in Norwegian)

Best tool for a planning ingeneer. It's ideal for brainstorming, sorting out huge data announts and a platform before the large office document. In the free ver. you can rotate freely, numberise and export to html, copy and past in an office document.. wola you've got an indexed draft to use in Word or other Office tools. Mind mapping is an old tradition fist known by Porphyry (greek philosopher).

I use it a lot and it's highly recomended by me! Winsnap photo is taken from first draft of ITplan in Utsira Municipal.

Fem ting du antakelig ikke visste om meg!

Har blitt utfordret av Eirik Newt om å skrive ned fem ting du antakelig ikke visste om meg (Eirik Newt)

Her er fem ting du antakelig ikke vet om meg:

1. Jeg har en tvillingbror som heter Geir. Han er nå bosatt like ved Lista Fyr på Borhaug. Det var han som fikk Bob Dylan til å smile den gangen vi var på konsert i Spektrum på tidlig 90-tall og Dagbladet skrev: "Se han smiler" med svære typer og medfølgende terningkast på seks!

2. Jeg har vært insipient under en uroppføring av Erling Kittelsen's Abiriels Løve på Utsira i 1996, hvor bla Aslag Guttormsgaard, Martin Slaatto og Marianne Apenes var skuespillere og Eirik Wøllo stod for kjempe musikk.

3. Har prestrert å oppfordre Pål Bang Hansen til å kikke opp fra matfatet! Pål Bang Hansen gjestet Utsira sammen med Stavanger Symfoniorkester. Orkesteret spilte filmsvisker og Hansen introduserte melodiene. Fadesen oppstod under en festmiddag i Sirahallen. Ustyrtelig morsomt for Sirabuen og gjester, ikke for meg! Hr Hansen ble oppfordret til å komme tilbake til Utsira for å oppleve mer og ikke bare innholdet nede i tallerken!

4. Jeg har et imponernede moseherbarium på over 120 ulike arter! Under studietiden ved TDH når mosesamlingen var mindre imponerende, inviterte jeg Michael Krohn i Raga Rockers inn på hybelen min for å se på mosesamlinga mi!

5. I min ungdom var jeg prinsippfast, anarkistisk miljøfreak med store idealer fra økofilosofien (Descartes, Spinosa, Zappfe, Punken og Rastafarien). Eneste bevarte prinsipp nå, er: Jeg drikker ikke imperalist-drikken til Coca Cola Company!

Den ene er en sannhet med modifikasjoner!

At least I solved the squear format problem in picasa. My favorite picture editor picasa don't support 100% square croping tools!

Tell you how? Perhaps an other time?

A click on the picture will lead you to my flickr-page.

Actually it's the preinstalled Jasc Paint Shop Poto Album 4.0 deliverered on my Dell. Where I can crop squares in open view. Still Picasa is the Best!

One bird makes a lot of fuss - Sykes's Warbler

This bird was the first known Sykes's Warbler in Norway. It's origeon and final statment has been interesting and ended as a paper in 2005. I'm greatfull for Lars Svenssons ecpertise and help.

Original paper is publiced here

Summary:

Sykes Warbler Hippolais rama new to Norway at Mønstermyr nearby Flekkefjord in Vest-Agder County, the 20. September 1997.

Being situated resident at Utsira it’s regarded as direct stupid to leave the island in end of September. But life is empty without a trip to Flekkefjord in Vest-Agder my home county. Need too have a week with studies of migrating Raptors and take part in ringing activity at Mønstermyr, my local patch in Flekkefjord. This trip resulted in a ringed Sykes Warbler and new specie for Norway .

Only three weeks earlier I had sighted the third record of Booted Warbler for Utsira on the 29. and 31. August. 1997. The Mønstermyr – bird showed similarities with the Booted Warbler on Utsira in coloration, white on outermost tail-feathers and light edgings on secondaries. But the bird also showed total difference in jizz, shape and colour of bill, and primary projection. When the bird was realised it came with a soft Silvia-like ’tak’ sound.

Measurements, size, and shape of bill concluded that the bird showed character of a Syke’s Warbler.

The paper also involves geographical dispersal, and other records in Western parts of Western Palearctic. The paper involves accepted Syke’s Warblers, birds with staus like Syke’s/Booted, and Syke’s like birds accepted as Booted Warblers.

The identification are based on:

1. The Acro-impression, jizz and structure with flat forehead fine and long bill. Angrier faced expression due to flat forehead, light on lores, short supercilium, in field without coronal-stripe and broken and not obvious eye-ring. Total different from the more kindly expression of Booted Warbler that shows more Phylloscopus-impression

2. Shape and structure of bill, bright yellow out on tip of under-mandible.

3. White edgings on outermost tail feather, and light wing-panel on secondaries.

4. Longer primary-projection than the Booted Warbler at Utsira..

A short introduction of my local patch in Flekkefjord:

The former mire/marshland are newly opened with open dikes and are today a landscape for producing grass for cattle. Mønstermyr stands out as a green oasis in the gold coastal landscape 300 meters above sea level. There are free sights to Lista fyr in Vest-Agder County and Sokendal in Rogaland County . During the autumn seasons from 1990 to 1995 there are ringed over 32.600 birds which gives 97 birds’ pr day. Main species are Willow Warbler, Redpoll, Goldcrest, Robin, Reed Bunting, and Redwing all represented with over 2000 ind. during the six years. My local patch has also produced three firsts for Vest-Agder County : one Arctic Warbler ringed 1. Sept. 1991, one Yellow-breasted Bunting ringed 2. Sept. 1991, and an Olive-backed Pipit ringed on the 25. Sept. 1993. Mønstermyr is also one of Norway ’s best sites for counting migrating Raptors. During autumn seasons 1990 to 1995 there passed over 8000 migrating Raptors.

Winsnap a handy tool

Winsnap is good indeed for use in helpforums. In terms of managing and education of newcommers on the inhabitants portal. Utsira Municipal sites www.utsira.no are devided in three different PLONE portals. One official, a tourist portal and one for the inhabitants of Utsira.

The ultimate tool thoug is PLONE.

My Favoritebird -The Hooded Crow

Hooded Crow Corvus corone cornix has been a projectbird for Utsira Birding station since 1993. We've colourringed chics in their nest since 93 and a total of 79 chics and two adults has been ringed up to year 2000. I've done a tribute to the Hooded crow on the municipal web. And presented the ringing data here. red (Killed), black (no records of chics since 1999), seen last in year 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2006.

Main results from the project: (read: 'seems to' or 'major tends shows..')
The chics stay in their nesting territoials until they are getting into their puberty 2 years old, supporting in their parens task, surch as finding food an beeng aggressive into intuders. (I've made a sycklic-Hooded-Crow-yearclock wich shows when agression take part. In winthertime all Crows cooporate and do'nt defend a territorial).
Their parents are "Apha-pairs" and stays together as long they live (about 20-25 years?) There are about 15 breeding pairs at Utsira. And the best alphapairs breeds 4 chics a year. Staturs report is publiced in Yearbok 00-01 of Utsira Birdstation. Only two Utsira chicks has been found at Mainland in Haugesund killed two and four years old.
Intra harmony (may-late august) harmony among relatives in the territorial.
Inter harmony (november-mid february) harmony among all crows (exept weak indiviuals who get killed by other crows!).
highest aggresion period (in mid february-may) Aggression towards non territorial crows (the young mob) and less aggresion periode september-november aggession towards their chics (prepearing them for what's to come?)

The SoutWestEuropeean subspecie Carrion Crow Corvus corone corone are also represented in high numbers at Utsira and we think that they are Scottish or Shetlenders youngsters who are been defeted by their parents an yonger brothers/sisters from their home terriotorials som later than the Hooded Crow in april/may (Hooded in february/march)

Also started the Norwegian Page on Hooded Crow on Wikipendia

Me and the Grimsby link

Grimsby is a name of a fotball club and a Town in Great Britain. But it's also a Viking name of a place in Farsund municipal in Norway where my fathers father lived. My father vas born at Kjørrefjord in Farsund and moved to Flekkefjord, where I lived before I moved to Utsira

As you can see in the Norwegian Fanpage many fans are named Grimsby. Including two relatives from my uncle who moved to Lyngdal. Lars Kåre Grimsby and Eivind Grimsby Haarr.

Norwegians know Eivind from the sientist NRK program Schrødingers Katt

My photos in Explore top 500

3 photos in explore (top 500 interestingness) is a great improvment for me! Lots of pictures from Utsira are posted in my Flicker page. Allso got a set called Utsira as way of Life and a set called Birding Utsira. Click for slideshow

Faster frontpage on the municipal web

Added new frontpage on the municipal frontpage today. = added on Utsira Kommune In order to get a higer score on 'Kvalitet 2006' Quality in Norwegian official webpages. Previous page was heavy on 400kb nowdays pages on your cellarphone get slow to start over 9 kb. I managed to get the frontpage down to 20 kb! Im pleased and the off. Judgement will probably be publiced on norge.no on the 1'st of Desember.
