At the moment I am sitting in the train from Sønderborg (south Denmark) on the way back to Copenhagen from a visit to my parents. Knowing that my paper based read could turn to be a dud, I had a plan B. This plan B is called httrack, and is a program that makes you locally cache web content. When I started at Dwarf, four some years ago, Henrik Jochumsen introduced it to me, merely as a tool for checking broken links in the process of testing websites before release. Now I use it as back up for those moments of hell, where I am offline and have the online cravings. For this specific trip I downloaded content from wired.com, boingboing.net, techcrunch.com and acmqueue.com which turned out to be a good idea. 4 hours offline is unnatural for a human being.
