The ReadyNas NVX and its similarly named siblings have a good reputation in terms of 4-disk NAS units, but are considered very noisy. I have read that changing the stock fan on these units make them quieter, as well as making sure you have the latest firmware updates. Here’s how to change the stock fan […]

Tom Waits presents: "Bad as me"
Better let the man himself do the talking: «Well, we have a situation here. I’m sorry we had to cut. But apparently there’s no such thing as private anymore. It’s an Internet thing where they say that it’s going to go out everywhere, into the bloodstream, I thought this was a private party — kind […]
Tom Waits news brings down anti.com website
All I get from Tomwaits.com and anti.com right now is: Message: Too many connections I guess the announcement of a new Tom Waits album (yes, that’s what anti.com said yesterday) will attract some global attention. Well, you know what they say in Germany.. Die Käse oder nichts! (en. "The Cheese or Nothing!")
Look! I'm learning! Sehen! Ich lehrne!
I’m starting this intensive German semester on Monday, and in that regard I bought the entire curriculum of 2 years’ worth of Deutsch in High School. I’ve traversed 50 pages in Reading and Work material since, with too much left that I’ll finish in time. But that’s of no worry, since the curriculum for my […]
Anti mail suggests new Tom Waits release next week!
An e-mail passed around on the Anti label mailing list reads: There have been rumblings and rumors. New music from Tom Waits, you say? Come to TomWaits.com on Tuesday August 23rd, and Mr. Waits himself will set the record straight. These messages always shines up the brightest as the darkest of days. Last time we […]
I Quit My Job
Like some of my readers noted, in my New Year’s post I promised that 2011 would be the year of changes, alluding to something so secret and destructive only a bunch of kids with vintage recording equipment (say VHS or Super 8) would be able to reveal it to the world! I was thinking about […]
Last ten flicks I saw
Since we’ve been travelling around the countryside this summer there hasn’t been that much time to watch movies, except re-visiting old goodies like the Grindhouse movies by Rodriguez/Tarantino when on the train, or peeping at the dimwits of Supernatural through a haze of give-a-fsck. Consequently this list has accumulated over time, with the first five […]
Norwegian Press and the Non-Stop Nyan Cat!
Since the terrorist attack in Oslo a week back the newspapers and media here in Norway have been feasting on the fear like starving vultures. Some people say that this is freedom of the press and we must protect journalism. But I suggest we’re experiencing a lack of journalism and a lack of civilized culture. […]
March of Roses
We attended Amnesty’s non-political March of Roses yesterday, and the attendance was overwhelming — both to us and to the arrangers. The city was sold out of roses, and when I went to the florist he just gave me a bouquet and said I could pay later if I wanted to. After a lot of […]
Some thoughts on our Values being attacked
As the police helicopters are flying over my office right now, the mass murderer mr. Breivik is in court to be officially charged and imprisoned until his trial. Many have strong reactions and call for death sentence, court-marshalling or even torture. And while one can agree with the sentiment we must not turn to barbarism, […]
