My work place fudged up — oh, sorry, they fucked up — my last two pay slips. But since they tend to do this every year towards the last three months I didn’t want to have to pay back an advance until January like last year, so I told them I’d try to get by. […]

My host is changing backend November 5th
I got an e-mail recently from my dear host in Denmark that they are changing the backend for their hosting business, which boils down to migrating migraines.

Truckin' October 2010: Who Screwed Jonny Hughes in High School?
The October issue of Truckin’ takes a break from the lowest common denominator, i.e. me, to introduce new & fresh talent, the innocent and beautiful angel tears scarred down on e-paper, akin to that of the very gospel itself.

Truckin' September 2010: The 9th issue of the 9th volume of Truckin'!
This month Truckin’ presents my 35th contribution to the online e-zine, going as far back as December 2003. My stories as of late are pretty uninspired, because I simply have too much to do to get any real writing done. This month’s story, however, was written as a way to let out some steam. It’s […]
Emmerson Amidu Bockarie: Yesterday Betteh Pass Today?
A couple of weeks back my workplace did a seminar on agent navigation in conflict zones, and among the presented case stories was Emmerson Amidu Bockarie (links to Wikipedia). I’ve always liked grass roots rebel music, and this anti-corruption musician from Sierra Leone immediately caught my interest. The lyric is essentially a cry at the […]

Explaining Ubuntu as The Modern Laptop OS
The son of a friend of mine from the Middle East will be attending Norwegian classes in Oslo this school year, and to that occasion my work place decided to setup a laptop for him. It was a rolled-out Dell Latitude D620, and having replaced the hard disk drive I opted for Ubuntu 10.04 as […]
