The FS Esprimo Mobile is a consumer-targeted and cheap laptop for light home use, emphasis on cheap, which arrived the market sometime in 2008 as far as I know. It comes with a 1 year warranty, as is only too normal when it comes to cheap devices (e.g. cheap hardware), so consider extending it if […]

Tom Waits CBC interview podcast
A colleague sent me this link to Q the podcast, featuring an interview with Tom Waits himself. It’s a great interview starting off as a conversation about film, then moves on to his role in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, and at the end of it he reveals that Tom Waits will release a Glitter […]
Truckin' October 2009, Vol. 8, Issue 10: Based on true events
This is the third Truckin’ issue in a row in which you, the dearest of readers, may enjoy the twat wit of yours truly. I’m not writing any good these days, I’m way too exhausted from everything else going on in my life, but the story below is kind of entertaining. Naturally I urge you […]
Scariest picture of the day: Benny Bankboks 1978
The scariest picture of the day is a crop from Dagbladet’s frontpage today. Dagbladet: «Remember Benny Bankboks? He strikes again!» (Photo: Leif Høel) Benny Bankboks is the nickname of one of Norway’s most famous bank robbers, Jan Petter Askevold.

DIY Extreme Makeover: Plans and progress
It’s been a while now since my last update on our makeover, so I thought I’d bring you up to speed. We’ve been looking at kitchens the last couple of weeks, and even attended a large DIY fair in Lillestrøm a late Friday evening, but we’ve managed to narrow it down to a few re-sellers. […]
Happy Terrorist Day!
Happy terrorist day, everyone! In the spirit of the occasion, you’ll be glad to hear that I had a terrible day today, at least the first half of it. You could even say it was terrorible. Whoa! New word. My one and only Lady C (one is quite enough) has run away to Denmark with […]
Truckin' September 2009, Vol. 8, Issue 9: The number of the bitch
Today’s the 9th of the 9th of 2009. If you’re a geek with a digital wristwatch that’ll be 09.09.09. WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF THE BEACH! Before you ask; whichever beach you want it to be. Incidently it also means a new issue of Truckin’. Coincidence??! I think not! Especially since it was released days […]
The Friends we never had…
Since our new apartment still looks like this we’re crashing at Lady C’s sister’s place for the time being. We’ve got our own room with a double bed, small tables on either side and an empty closet. So apart from the fact that we have to cater our own meals and do the housework it’s […]
Sigg3.net running out of space
As your comatose relative(s) may have completely failed to notice, Sigg3.net’s database was down and up and down the last couple of days. At first it was deemed a configuration issue but it turned out I had churned out more words than my megabytes of storage could allow for. This could happen again! So just […]
DIY Extreme Makeover: Making Progress!?!
The complete redecoration of our new flat is taking shape, although not as fast as you’d expect. I’m saying you but I was just as astonished by the amount of shit hidden in those walls and under the floors. Floors as in plural. Not to mention all the bricks. My shoulders are still crying. Here’s […]
