So, what do I mean with “reverse”? Well, you know when you want to make a dish but don´t know what to make? Then you perhaps check recipes online and see that you have to buy lots of things to make the food? My idea was, why not begin from the other end? Why not make a page were you can type in what you already have at home and with this information, you get lots of ideas/suggestions?
So basically, it would be like a database where I type in all (or several) ingridients and then do a little search. The result would be dishes that has some/all of the ingridients I typed. And this could be expanded, so that people could type in their recipes, from all around the world and well, you should get some really nice variations. But most importantly, you don´t need to go down and buy stuff just to make a special dish. Perhaps you already have what you need to make something really nice, you just don´t know it.
Now, I haven´t searched the net, so I don´t know if something like this have been made. If yes, please let me know because I would LOVE to know about it…
Well, that´s it for today.
Cheers!
1. Improving Itunes. June 9, 2008

So my first suggestion/idea is to improve Itunes. Being a macbook and Ipod owner, Itunes is an essential part of the experience. So im using Itunes as my main music-player. And it does manage to do the job ok. Some things bug me or im not so used to but its managable. However there is one feature I would LOVE to have and that is something I call “Itunes Play-filer”. I have not seen that something like this exists on Itunes, but if it does, it is badly implemented because it should not be difficult to find and use.
So, Itunes play-filter. It works basically as a “database” works. For example, let´s say that I only want Itunes to play a certain genre of music or only the music from one (or several) specific artist. Instead of always creating playlists and drag and drop the music to these lists, I can easily type in my playing criterias.
So sometimes I might just feel the urge to listen to some jazz but also to some U2. So I press the “Play filers” options and type “Jazz” on one field and “U2″ on another field and simsalabim, these are the tunes that will be played only. An option to save “filters” is also a must, to fasten the process even more.
Now, I have not checked ALL the players out there, perhaps something like this exists. But using Itunes so much as I do, it would be nice to see Apple implement this to coming versions. It is a nice feature for people that really likes to have a bit more of control to their listening habits.
So this is one of my ideas, Improve Itunes with “play filter” options.
You saw it first here
The idea. June 8, 2008

So the idea with this blog is to give myself a space to ventilate ideas that I come up or things that can be improved upon. And if someone “in charge” sees what I have written and perhaps likes my thoughts, then the world maybe will be a better place
My ideas will mainly be for the IT-biz, because it is here that I think I can contribute the most.
Cheers,
