Djeezus Keerist, am I supposed to write about all the effin’ projects I dig up from my personal Web Sematary? You gotta commit to it, Dahl, you gotta commit to the blog. Commit often, commit early… does that apply to blogging?
Some point after retiring Dahlske Bank the Amateur Film Vault, me and Kenny had this grandish idea to create a website… nay, a portal, to 3Fs movies specifically. Most amateur moviemakers had opted in to the horrendously terrible bitrate of JewToob, while others ventured into the slightly less shitty video quality on Vimeo. Being an avid hater of streaming, buffering, and waiting for shit to fucking load, I was keen on keeping the tradition of serving downloadable movies.
A Grand Plan: The Portal for 3F Movies (Buffering the Video Slayer Sucks)
Not solely because I keep pirating and torrenting like it’s 2003, but cause sometimes, Internet connection is shit, and I just can’t do it… trying to watch a video that stops to buffer and then just keeps fucking buffering until the end of times… there’s no video on it!
On the subject of branding… naming our video production company just two letters made it somewhat impossible to get a suitable domain straight off the bat. So “The Film Elite” was to become the home of 3F. Film Eliten in Norwegian. It’s funny cause of how grandeur we pretended we were. One of the many iterations of the same thing. Filmeliten.no also died due to PHP changes I still don’t understand.
Claude’s Greatest Hallucination: The Three Rogaland Stooges
Refurbished. Refactored. Back again. Native video playback without Flash, proper photo display, all thanks to Claude. This did take a couple of yeah nah try that again Clauderino, but we got there in the end. I say we… but it’s amazing how well Claude Code reads and understands code I wrote years ago (which I no longer understand myself) without me having to explain the horrors of why it doesn’t work in 2026.
However. Meta data for social media wasn’t something I was into back in the day, so when I asked Claudie to write it for me, somehow he came to the conclusion that 3F was three buddies from Rogaland. We are two. Neither of us from Rogaland. Maybe Claude just made it up, maybe he didn’t read the about us content… or maybe he heard Kenny’s Rogaland accent in one of the videos and just went with it? I’d like to think so, it’s funnier than a standard LLM hallucination.
