 | An aquarelle man holding fireCategory: Aquarelle | |
I painted some aquarelles the other day and got lost in some ideas about a Neptune-like man holding fire as you can see. I thought he should have cool flowing hair and a similar flame in his hand. I have given him some outlines in ink to get a more distinct feel and look. Probably got this idea from all the diving and looking at corals in Egypt! It is nice to get lots of good influence from the world around you. |  | |

| A beautiful winter with icicles hanging from the roofCategory: Photography | |
It has been, and still is, a beautiful winter here in the North. It has been snow everywhere and it is a wonderful landscape – almost like in Doctor Zhivago or Narnia. I saw some icicles yesterday and thought they actually are very pretty and inspirational. There is perfect weather for tobogganing and building snow-caves. Have a nice winter!  | | |

| Google Browser Size for WohillCategory: Web | |
Interesting tool. I am not sure if I like it or not. It doesn't look too good for most sites though. I was aware that some people still uses a low resolution but I didn't think it was this bad. However I interpret it the way that they have taken into account also parameters like when visitors don't have their browser window expanded to the maximum or when visiting with a mobile device (and the site is not specifically enabled fior that).  Something to consider anyway. Check it out for your own site! | | |

| A warrior inspired from the Bedouins in EgyptCategory: Illustration | |
I got very inspired by the Bedouins we met in Egypt – so I just thought it would be cool to fantasise about what a Bedouin warrior, from long ago, would look like. He might still keep some of the clothing as you can see in my sketch. But still he needs a few things that are more meant for fighting. Here he is anyway – the wind blowing through his clothes… His sword I would say is from some raid or something – not very Egyptian. I made a broader sword to give more of a fearful fight feeling – and also show that he is a strong warrior being able to fight with this heavy sword. So it is mostly the head-piece that he is wearing that resembles a real Bedouin – but his fighting spirit is there! | | |

| My Second Life AvatarCategory: Photography | |
The very appreciated event LotusPhere 2010 took place in January this year again. I was there in 2006 and I'd really like to go back some year. During Lotusphere 2007 (if I remember correctly) there was a lot of focus on Secondlife from IBMs side and I created my avatar Nicolas Paravane. His current looks are on todays photo (ok, this is not a real photo, but it is a SecondLife photo). There was a period when I spent quite some time there. I built a house together with a very talented Secondlife architect for the consultant company, where I worked for a while. I also created a secondlife football script. I have had ideas to do more fun stuff and Secondlife still seem to be going strong. Are you using it? | | |

| Creating an attachment instance in a testMethodCategory: Salesforce | |||
If you have created an Apex class which uses Attachments in some way you might need to create Attachments as test data for the testMethod in order to get the coverage to be able to deploy. The attachment has three required fields: Body, Name and ParentId But how is the body, which is the attachment, created programmatically? I found this solution in a Salesforce community and also later on the Salesforce blog:
The above assumes that you have a valid accountId 'accId' serving as the parent of the attachment and that you have created a Visualforce page 'testPDF' which is rendered as PDF. Could look like this:

| An orange cartoon in aquarelleCategory: Cartoons | |
I have been doing a lot of aquarelle paintings lately - as you might have noticed. Mainly because I brought a box containing aquarelle paints along when we went to Egypt. You might have come in contact with the type of box too – it’s from “Winsor & Newton”. They make lots of nice aquarelle boxes as well as colours for the boxes.  When I had some time over and in the mood I started painting lots of different things. Some of them I will post here as you may have gathered by now. The aquarelle paints give a wonderful flow to creating a character like this. The orange colours give nice texture and also give the cartoon extra dimensions as you can see. Wouldn’t be a bad character to have in a little children’s book – might get into that later! This time it’s a little orange fellow I have called ”Orangie” – he is a little happy fellow that tries to do good in his neighbourhood. | | |
