Säljer du bannerutrymme på din sajt? I så fall är det bra att följa de standardformat som Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) nu rekommenderar. Under IABs kartläggning över vilka bannerformat som används på svenska sajter idag hittade de över 500 olika format.

Alla dessa storlekar innebär självklart en väldig massa formatanpassning för de annonsörer som vill synas på flera olika sajter. Därför har IAB nu tagit fram Svensk Displaystandard, där de rekommenderar 14 st annonsformat för sajtägare att erbjuda sina annonsörer.

Massiva bombanfall mot Stockholm, Malmö och Göteborg. En pansarkår mot Sundsvall. Fallskärmsjägare över Östersund. Infanteri mot Karlstad. Intrång vid Haparanda. Landstigning i Örnsköldsvik och på Gotland.

Sverige kunde mycket väl ha råkat ut för en tysk invasion. Historikerna har olika uppgifter, men enligt vissa källor var det bara några timmar före utsatt tid – den 1 juli 1943 kl 02.00 – som Hitlers kontraorder anlände.

I spent last weekend crayfishing in a lake near our family’s summerhouse in the country. We used a new (to us) type of trap, and the catch was better than anything I have ever seen. An example:

We went out twice, setting ten traps each time, and caught around 240 crayfish of legal size, plus at least as many that we had to throw back. Nowadays, crayfish are normally sold by the kilogram, but our relative, who owns the fishing water, is sort of old-school and still sells them by the score (“tjog” in Swedish). With 20 crayfish to a score, he now has twelve score to sell. Swedish crayfish in August are sold at prices approaching or exceeding those of the very finest cuts of meat, and it’s said that it’s a seller’s market this year, so I hope he makes a good deal and I was glad I could help.

Here’s a photo from our vetting procedure. Crayfish of legal size are in the white pails; ones that are to go back in the lake are in the yellow ones. The funny-looking little stick is what we measure them with.

Well, he would have twelve score to sell, except we cooked and ate two score (between five people) later the same day. Swedes cook their crayfish in brine, seasoned with lots of dill and a dash of beer, and eat them cold with bread, cheese and various condiments and side dishes. Crayfish parties are traditionally held in August, usually with liberal amounts of akvavit and other forms of alcohol. Here’s how our crayfish looked when cooked and ready to eat:

We hadn’t really planned on throwing a crayfish party; this was just our little impromptu celebration of a good catch. It’s entirely possible that you have to be a dyed-in-the-wool Swede to enjoy crayfish cooked in this fashion, but I at least thought they were absolutely delicious. There was no akvavit, though, since I was bound to hop on a train and go back home later that same day. Maybe next time.
