8 o'clock info meeting
Today there’ s an information meeting for the entire staff, with an announced "surprise". I’m still waiting to get fired, so maybe they really want to put me on the scaffold for this time. SURPRISE! Only thing about this meeting’s that it’s inhumanely early in the morning. 8am. Seriously, who gets up at 8am and […]
Political Correctness re: Middle East
I got this in my e-mail this morning and being such a karma whore I’ll post it here in full in verbatim. The original subject line was "Public relation campaigns and the use of the words". Enjoy! Rule #1: In the Middle East, it is always the Palestinians that attack first, and it’s always Israel […]

Link of the day: Leonard Cohen Live in NYC
My old pal Kornelius just sent me a PM about Cohen’s live performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, which was recorded by NPR. The recording is now available for online streaming, just like they did with Tom Wait’s Glitter And Doom concert in Atlanta GA which is also available as an mp3 […]
Just another night in the outskirts of downtown Oslo
Last night around 2am when I was typing in my notes from Stallman’s talk on Copyright I was interrupted by some serious banging down the hall. Not the kind of banging I expect you gang-banging hustlers would think of, no, this was the simple repetitive collision of physical objects you’d usually not ascribe to pornography […]

Attending Stallman's "Copyright vs. Community" at Chateau Neuf, UiO 2009
Today (Monday) I had the honor of listening to one of the founding fathers of Free Software as we know it. Mister Free Software Himself, namely Richard Stallman. If you haven’t read the Zenwalk or Slackware manual, or are into the politics and philosophy of computing and software, you may not realise what an important […]
RIP Fyodor † February 10th 2009
Many of you are unaware that I bought a fish tank 6th of July 2005 in the hope of getting some company while writing. But I had major nitrate problems possibly caused by my continuous chain smoking right next to it, and severe sleep deprivation because the air pump (yes it’s a very small fish […]
Happy Holidays, Saami people!
Today is the "National holiday" for the indigenous Saami people of the North; Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The Saami people can easily be compared with the Native Americans in North America, and we share an equal sad history of abuse, introduction to alcohol and mass-conversions to several variants of Christianity. You can see the […]
