Having to go to work sucks

link

#

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

link

#

ventilation system has developed an annoying whine

link

#

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

link

#

Man this bus is uncomfortably warm

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

I BLAME VISTA

link

#

planning a plane trip tomorrow, Viking’s first!

link

#

Lovely sunny day, not too hot either

link

#

sigh password change time again

link

#

Oh IM, where art thou?

link

#

In queue for a double kabanoss from Günthers

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

O Canon repair person, where are thou?

link

#

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

link

#

fucking Swedish anti-piracy group makes me pretty mad

link

#

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

link

#

Eating dinner in Nyköping after scoping out apartments

link

#

Returning the car, doesn’t look as if we used quite as much petrol this time

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

time to head home

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

penalties are cheesy but great TV

link

#

talking to the taxman, but not about poetry

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

Go Russia!

link

#

Viking’s room is the messiest ever

link

#

sniggering at outdated ads still celebrating the Swedish team

link

#

what an amazing goal!

link

#

RUSSIA!

link

#

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

link

#

ouch toothache :(

link

#

Getting ready to head in the subrosa breakfast

link

#

unexpected upside to the FRA law: http://shorl.com/prypapedrykosy

link

#

On our way back from Vitabergsparken, it was packed with people

link

#

wow what a turnaround by Turkey!! Absolutely last minute equalise leads to penalty shootout

link

#

not a good start for Croatia

link

#

great game by Turkey

link

#

It’s gonna be a hot day

link

#

gonna hit Systemet later for some booze. Gonna be a scrum-fest

link

#

man I should make a webservice counting the days i’ve been without Twitter IM

link

#

damnit I have mislaid my fav pen

link

#

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

link

#

Waiting for the (late) tram

link

#

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

#

another day, another bout of Vista

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

testing windows vista twitter gadget

link

#

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

link

#

omg I’ve forgotten how crappy Adobe Reader is

link

#

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

link

#

starting a Vista SP1 install

link

#

dentist appointment in 2 hours, gonna be productive at home instead of spending time in public transport

link

#

link

#

teeth is starting to ache after the brutal treatment this morning :(

link

#

of course that should be TOOTH not teeth

link

#

ah Vista, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways: STACK OVERFLOW: NaN

link

#

hmm Vista sidebar applet devel is pretty vibrant, found a stock applet that lets me track oil and gold prices

link

#

it’s been a loooong day

link

#

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

link

#

as per instructions, I haven’t washed my jeans for 6 months

I’ve been seeing ``We’re working to restore IM services to all users. Thanks for your patience!’’ for weeks now…

link

#

FireFail 3.0!

link

#

FRA-ITA, fight to the DEATH

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

going for Firefox 3

link

#

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

link

#

STOP STEALING MY FOCUS

link

#

ok so loading a CD freezes my computer

link

#

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

link

#

that’s it, I’m reinstalling Windows XP

link

#

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

link

#

against my better judgement, I’m trying Vista again

link

#

screw you guys, I’m going home

link

#

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

link

#

heading to bed

link

#

gray and cloudy Saturday morning, slightly hung-over after an excellent dinner yesterday

link

#

I wonder what idiot decided to make Firefox 3 beta the default on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

link

#

crap 1-2 in the last minute

link

#

Up early to put everything in order before the cleaners arrive

link

#

Swedish law will legalise wiretapping by the Swedish NSA: http://www.stoppafralagen.nu/

link

#

staring at a tsunami of issues

link

#

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

link

#

testing TTYtter

link

#

lunchtime

link

#

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

link

#

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

link

#

Systembolaget is open until 7pm. Win!

link
