Happy Towel Day!
Today we laugh hysterically at all the fond memories we have from reading Douglas Adams‘ great philosophical contributions to the human condition. Alas, the usual Towel Day website @ kovj.net is gone now, RIP Tobbe. There’s a new site up, keeping the spirit of Adams very much alive @ www.towelday.org Did I bring a towel […]
Happy Birthday Norway (you slags)
It’s the 17th of May, Norway’s national holiday, and I’m on the crapper. All over the country, in every little cottage and god forsaken township, people are cheering the marching bands who – and nobody seems to notice – exclusively play old war marches. But due to our history, constantly pwned by other nations and […]
Scariest picture of the day: Floorboard stock photos! Again!
Just when you didn’t think stock photos couldn’t get any worse, I found this gem: Now, you may see nothing wrong about this picture at all, but you’re looking too hard. This stock photo is wrong in so many ways that it just ain’t right. You’re walking past this and what do you see? Some […]
Truckin' May 2010, Vol. 9, Issue 5
In Norway there’s a patronizing saying (really a question) to unpublished authors that really gets on my tits, e.g. "Har du en forfatterspire i magen?" Literally it translates to "Do you have the seed of a writer in you?" which sounds very much like a nasty request of a street prostitute. But anyway, it IS […]
Link of the Day: TEH DEVASTATOR! (needs your help)
The Devastator is a new quarterly journal for the comedian in all of us; "A new book series of Comics and Satire" equaling itself to the likes of MAD Magazine if you can remember, and a whole bunch of other awesome but dead publications. Go see the promo yourself! Link of the day: Go pledge […]
Just another cup of coffee
When busy gaming, working and whatnot and you really need to take a piss, don’t you just sometimes JUST SOMETIMES want to go right then and there? Let it all go! Right in your pants where you’re sitting, in front of the screen or on the couch, or standing in an akward position or whatever? […]
USB Mass Storage Device Viruses from Africa
Though the title makes USB viruses sound very exotic, I have found that they are in fact more common in Africa than elsewhere. Ask yourself: how often have you connected a USB pen drive to a friend’s computer and come back home with a nasty virus inside? I’d gather internet café machines and other shared […]
The Road, the End of the World etc. etc.
Recently, Lady C put me in a jam. Not as much as covering my naked body in it, but seriously pushing modern paperback literature down my throat. I met Lady C at the bookstore after work one day ‘couple of months back, and because they had an 3 for the price of 2 offer I […]
Truckin' April 2010, Vol. 9, Issue 4: Pet Shop Girls
With the recent update in Blogspot policy regarding their themes, both Pauly’s own blog and the Truckin’ E-Zine have gone through a fundamental face-lift. I say fundamental because even though a superficial theme can make a big difference in terms of user experience, it is the underlying infrastructure which filters the good from the bad. […]
