We had our anual christmas party last saturday so I make some posters to brighten up the office. I'm very happy with the FIX poster and the rest of them didn't turn out too bad either. We also put up some clocks to show the timezones we work with now that we have so many external people at Copyleft.

I'll can follow up with a full post with all the posters if anyone cares for them.

Shameless rip from BoingBoing. Remember how it was such a pain in the ass to have to install Flash, Real and other plugins to get media to work in the browser?

At 9 o'clock this morning, Norway time, the Tele2 campaign on Dagbladet.no went live. This was a very fast-paced and stressful project that proved that the combined skill set of the entire Copyleft team can pull off project with crazy deadlines and lots of changes underway.

The project started 11 days ago when we headed to Mediafront to hear about a banner campaign they where doing for Tele2, one of the larger Celphone providers in Norway, on the Dagbladet website (second largest newspaper). The idea was to let people create a banner ad with a Flash application and then show these randomly on the Dagbladet website. The complicating factor was that the Dagbladet site serves 2.5 million visitors per day, so calls to a database needed to be avoided.

Lots of other complications turned up during the project and at one point 11 people where involved at the same time from 6 different companies (CLNO, CLMX, Tele2, Dagbladet, Mediafront and Teknograd). The project kept changing, but we kept adapting. The system started working on Saturday, banners where approved at midnight last night and the entire thing want live today at 9 without incident. Thanks to everyone involved, we rule!

I put up a Moland/Pushwagner banner which will only make sense to Norwegians and one with Alex wishing a happy birthday to one of his buddies.

Couldn't help myself. We're launching a new system internally in Copyleft and of course there are some bugs here and there. Since the system is vital to the day-to-day operations for almost everyone it's quite painful to adjust and have to wait for the bugfixes.

This is a post to see if I can get some help from my readers.

In many systems we develop we have date fields that users need to fill in. And in many cases the precision of date varies within the same type of data. For example users need to input details for past events. Sometimes they know the exact date (5th of Jan. 2008), both for other dates they only know that it happened in January 2008, or maybe just the year.

How can we handle from a interface standpoint to allow for both precise and imprecise input?

This took way too long to do and the result is quite crappy. Still, starting to understand the photoshop 3D stuff.
