Having to go to work sucks

 

I wonder how I ended up with 212 songs in my “never listened” list

 

ventilation system has developed an annoying whine

On the airport bus to Stockholm. Viking packed off for a week at his grandparents. Feels strange

 

Man this bus is uncomfortably warm

 

Contributing to the current Twitter overcapacity problem by twittering about it. Meta-fail

 

The music I like the most is more than 20 years old, or might as well be

 

I wonder if the fly travelling with me on the bus is a harbinger of a global pandemic. That would kinda suck

 

Stuck at Haga in a traffic queue. This never happens with the train

Oh IM, where art thou?

 

In queue for a double kabanoss from Günthers

 

Finally got to order, 2 helpings of the hot sauce, strong mustard und saurkraut!

 

I find it “amusing” that Outlook hangs while searching through mails. That is, if “amusing” is a synonym to “bollocks” in your language

 

what a semi! great play by Turkey by the Germans won in the end. Here’s hoping Russia will win tomorrow!

still no IM, I feel like someone waiting for Godot (or rather, the Giro)

 

O Canon repair person, where are thou?

 

now the Swedish anti-piracy group thinks the French 3-strikes law against filesharers is “basically good”

 

fucking Swedish anti-piracy group makes me pretty mad

 

ever since 1789, no good political innovation has come out of France…

 

Eating dinner in Nyköping after scoping out apartments

alone at the support desk for 2 weeks, not looking forward to it

 

already too stressed to even get a cup of coffee :(

 

Windows Live Messenger - what a total waste of scree real estate it is

 

you know what they say about Mondays? IT’S ALL TRUE

 

everyone complains about Twitter, but no-one does anything about it

 

time to head home

tweets for 2008-06-22

 

suspecting Alastair Reynold’s “House of Suns” is a previously refused work now published to take advantage of his current status

 

Spain-France is on, least interesting of the quarterfinals if you ask me

 

wicked stink of polyvinyl chloride from the giant inflatable hand Viking got in his Maxbox

 

penalties are cheesy but great TV

talking to the taxman, but not about poetry

 

I’ve just re-enabled TwitterSync on Facebook, this is a test of the functionality

 

hmm TwitterSync can’t update my Facebook status, reverting to the “official” Twitter FB app

 

Viking: “Why do they have goalies? It’s too hard with them!”

 

how the f*ck did I end up with 120 “friends” on Facebook?

 

Go Russia!

 

Viking’s room is the messiest ever

 

sniggering at outdated ads still celebrating the Swedish team

 

what an amazing goal!

 

RUSSIA!

 

ok I’m betting Russia - Turkey in the final. This is football as it should be!

 

ouch toothache :(

damnit I have mislaid my fav pen

 

wondering if all the brouhaha over the recent Swedish wiretapping law is due to NSA arm-twisting

 

Waiting for the (late) tram

 

first Sweden approves domestic wiretapping, then the USA: http://tinyurl.com/3trjdh

another day, another bout of Vista

 

Oravcle Client install, happy happy joy joy. Ugliest fscking app on the planet

 

those who let their apps manage their passwords are doomed to forget them

 

testing windows vista twitter gadget

 

nearly all my USB input devices are flakey after installing Vista. Having the mouse/kb hang is driving me NUTS

 

omg I’ve forgotten how crappy Adobe Reader is

 

going back to GNU Emacs on Windows after a spell using xemacs

 

starting a Vista SP1 install

It’s public transportation fail day here in #stockholm !

removing Microsoft SMS console wiped out large parts of my programs, now trying Windows restore

 

OK restore didn’t work (BIG surprise) so now I’m committed to Vista

 

making a list of all the crap I need to reinstall in Vista

 

Vista: “Your computer will restart several times during installation” – WTF

 

Vista up and running, facing an endless list of re-installs

 

going for Firefox 3

 

still can’t believe the amount of MS programs that still require you to be an administrator to install them

 

STOP STEALING MY FOCUS

 

ok so loading a CD freezes my computer

 

I have officially joined the ranks of Windows Vista haters. What a fucking load of stinking faeces this is

 

that’s it, I’m reinstalling Windows XP

 

looking more and more as if the new FRA law is a stalking horse for detecting copyright infringment

 

against my better judgement, I’m trying Vista again

 

screw you guys, I’m going home

 

Twitter IM is taunting me… I get messages, but I cannot post. Please Twitter, I promise to learn Rails, pretty please???

staring at a tsunami of issues

 

who wants to bet there’s a Twitter interface for Emacs?

 

testing TTYtter

reading the TTYtter manpage, I think it should be quite possible to make the output nicer as you can get the stuff in JSON

 

home from daycare, lovely hot day, catching up a bit before playing some more with Viking

 

Systembolaget is open until 7pm. Win!

Valleywag: “As fingerpointing goes, this Twitter battle takes the prize.” http://is.gd/pCb
