Man, I just made today’s first mistake. I have been at my café all day, writing and philosophizin and drinking free coffee, and I’m on my way home just picking up some groceries. Then, at the little park in which I was robbed earlier – I am robbed again! This time it’s not money they’re […]

Link of the day: need to learn "grinding"
Every once in a while a forum thread spawns a surplus of interest and activity. Most often they are not related to whatever the forum is about (in this case Hi fi and portable audio) but it’s something everyone can relate to. Today’s Lotd is one of the most comprehensive guides to grinding, for 13yos. […]
Slumber Friday, or just awaiting the inevitable?
All the icicles are melting, there’s rain in the air and a little sun, and I’m stuck in the office wondering why the heck I even stood up this morning. What has the day amounted to? I received a Dell technician coming with a new M70 motherboard (hardware failure history), I ate lunch and waffles, […]
Spammer "caught" by slashdot users
Ever wanted to beat up a spammer? Here’s your chance:D I read the Washington Post‘s article called Invasion of the Computer snatchers about a week ago, which is about 0x80, a young botnet-spammer who sends 180Solutions commercials to infected "customers". The spammer wanted to stay anonymous, naturally, since there is alot of people on the […]
Morning unconsciousness
Man, I had the weirdest dream last night. I kind of married the daughter of Satan. I’m not going to go into details, since it would be kind of inappropriate, and you’d probably all believe I was a crazy sob. Of course, those of you who stop by regularly, probably think that already. When I […]
Female of the Week: Marianne Rørvik
Norwegian curling player, born 1983, has a boyfriend who is not me (yet). She’s just beautiful. Another picture of Marianne shooting. Great stats too.
Recording demos and videos in Nexuiz
I’ve not only been playing, but also playing around with Nexuiz, the open-sourced (free) first-person-shooter with the funny name. Nexuiz… It looks like a German trying to spell the latin ‘Nexius’ in French. Today, when testing framerates at a colleague’s laptop (Precision M70 w/ nVidia Quadro FX Go 1400) compared to mine (Inspiron 6000 w/ […]
Google can't be all evil..
.. they like Curling. Like I do. Me bad?
Professor Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (1919-2006)
Did I mention that Strawson died last week? Russel answered his ‘On Referring’ somewhat like this (from memory): If mr. Strawson (god forbid) accused his chair-woman for stealing from the funds and she indignantly replied "I ain’t never done no one no harm", and we interpreted this according to Strawson, we would believe the woman […]
Classic Bruce Willis
Every once in a while I stumble over strange CDs and recordings that I just have to buy, because I’ll probably never see them again in my life. Today when I was picking up a couple of shipments at the post office, I noticed this in their bizarro collection: Classic BRUCE WILLIS Wtf? I didn’t […]
