My good friend Michael Park has been hosting the official unofficial message board since 2005, for the few of us who still use the b2 blogging software on our websites. But four days ago Michael made it clear that the long-pending closure of the board has been decided for January 2008, due to the non-existing […]

Staying on the subject of Literature I can brag that my English-Norwegian translation of The Zenwalk Manual was concluded this week and published Tuesday. I have proofread it and an update should be on its way. Link of the day: Zenwalk Linux Manual or Zenwalk brukerguide It feels good to contribute, doesn’t it? For people […]

My time with Leto I was short and happy. Leto is a 12.1" iBook G4 with 800Mhz processor and 640MB RAM, that I bought from an internet acquaintance for 2k. With a new battery from China I had expected at least a year’s worth of smooth surfin’ on the cafés of this city, picking up […]

A very annoying thing indeed, when you’re using Windows and only have USB 1.1 controllers. Because we all know: these effin’ controllers can’t perform faster so stop nagging me about it!

The employee forwarded all […]

After fumbling around on my bed (don’t ask) I managed to turn on Leeloo by pressing the power button real hard with my thumb while holding my other fingers tight on the upper left corner of the laptop. Plain hard love-making. I replicated the process many times, but she was making some rather strange CPU […]

This morning I checked that the 10mbit broadband line had been activated, and eager to get everything over and done with I was going to register at the ISPs portal which gives superfast access to movies, storage areas, etc. within the ISPs user group. What happened next still makes me want to cry. When I […]

I’m setting up an old Apple Powerbook G4 that I will sell to keep me off the streets. I was installing OSX Tiger when I managed to get this snapshot: That’s right. It’s proved once more. Mac’s totally gay.

A couple of weeks back I had some trouble finding a way to open a Sony VAIO Z series laptop from China. I got in touch with their international support but they only referred me to the local Chinese office, which didn’t have an e-mail adress and only spoke Chinese. Great support. I eventually found […]
