Fast food dinner

#

Me, Viking and his pal Wilmer went to the beach, Viking was stung by a wasp

link

#

Camera back, might have some misaligned focus issues… Needs systematic testing

link

#

Waiting for the tram, got some red wine and Carlsberg Sort Guld at Systemet

link

#

hmm my auction of the tandberg casette deck generated a side-band offer from some chick in Italy… wondering if I should keep my address

link

#

My D40 is in the shop getting its focus screen replaced

link

#

man that nap I took in the swinging hammock has left me feeling like crap

link

#

my drink: 1/2 inch of dubious “fruit” concentrate, 1 inch premium vodka, fill up with cold tap water

link

#

thinking of sleeping outside tonight

link

#

Impromtu visit to Max, free wifi!

link

#

fucking cats made a break for it again

link

#

Bday party for cousin Pelle, 4 years old. Family is out in force, but I have the balcony to myself

link

#

bills entered

link

#

pinging Gustaf Mårtensson about what Twitter account he has – via EMAIL. Can it get more 90s? I dont’t think so!

link

#

piping AC/DC from the iPod via my vintage Tandberg receiver … PARTY

link

#

both cats finally in

link

#

Buses flying rainbow flags today, cool!

link

#

Too hot for a jacket, pockets weighed down with junk (wallet keys phone etc)

link

#

Finally arrived at Tech museum, having a packed lunch!

link

#

Freetards: build your own phone, no-ones stopping you!

link

#

I’d settle for a small island in the Aegean… with droit de siegneur ;)

link

#

home, bad new on the H front unfortunately. More later

link

#

I’m reading so much NYTimes stuff right now I might just have to get an account

link

#

soon it’ll be August… sigh

link

#

FF3: ``Unable to verify the identity of adsyndication.msn.com as a trusted site.’’ … I’d have to concur

link

#

Leo is buying more MS points wiht his allowance

link

#

the previous tweet was posted specifically to piss Leo off ;)

link

#

back from Blecktornsparken!

link

#

not much done today due to differences of opinion with Viking about the merits of bathing vs. museum visiting

link

#

Guess we’ll have a “staycation” this year

link

#

Taking care of Viking and his cousins is hard work, but strategically placed icecream breaks help!

link

#

wtf are the NYTimes editoririals behind their stupid paywall? way to spread the creed, douchebags

link

#

Radovan Karadjic arrested - after 13 years

link

#

enjoying a (slightly stale) cigar

link

#

amazingly irritating twittering noise from the building site across the green

link

#

hmm Nikon D300 doesn’t have an electronic rangefinder indicator, that was something I was counting on over the D200

link

#

nicotine buzz!!

link

#

turns out wife is no a big cigar fan :P

link

#

enjoying high-grade carbohydrates and bheer

link

#

#

the plan to get up at 8 each mornign got off on a rocky start… <09:40> today

On our way to a birthday party. Muggy heat with threat of rain

Turns out my sis-in-law is following me on Twitter! Hi @teagus!

link

Rained in!

link

Going to read up.on the ’71 India-Pakistan war, inspired by an obit in the Economist

link

#

Enjoying the fine weather at Järla lake

link

#

hmm I need to get my work lappy home, it has my main iTunes library and all the podcast subs

link

#

BAN ’EM ALL, LET CHANSERV SORT ’EM OUT

link

#

time for some zedz

link

#

so that ‘no computer use during vacation’ thing? not working out so good

link

#

back from the little beach on Järla lake

link

#

if you’re bored, random browsing of gear wars on photo fora can provide endless amusement http://is.gd/XSY

link

#

Lone Justice’s Pass It On is dated in content, but still a great song

link

#

mmm restaurant lunch… such a luxury. And we sat outside too!

link

#

painless migration of the support queue stats from MRTG to RRDtool

link

#

I need more feeds - Google reader empty again!

link

#

Vacation is ON. Getting sushi/teriyaki takeaway for dinner, gonna bust out some red wine to that I think!

link

#

Man I need a new battery for the E61. Or a new phone…

link

#

Overslept madly

link

#

this day has FAIL written all over it

link

#

I must admit the build quality of the Nikon F90 is light-years ahead of the D40

link

#

I need to code a bot that finds followers I don’t follow and reports some stats:following/followers/no. of posts

link

#

thinking of sleeping in the swinging sofa if the weather turns really hot

link

#

next to last day at work, w00t

link

#

note to eagle-eyed readers re my “next to last day at work”, I’m going on vacation after tomorrow

link

#

fuck http://tinyurl.com/5ghweu

link

#

a quick glance at the Twitter API docs shows no easy way to get a list of followers and friends

link

#

so “trifling” means “disgusting” now? How come? Rhyming slang? http://shorl.com/tredrividohyra

link

#

finally getting around to actually doing some work. Way too many fun things on the internet this mornign

link

#

oh noes I read all my feeds!!!

link

#

just re-watched the first 5 minutes of The IT Crowd, it’s now a topic in the support channel ;)

Tram time, can’t wait to get home

#

1. submit ad 2. wait… 3. profit!

link

#

Buying a TV. Now we’ll have one in every room :P

link

#

Went to the gym for the first time in ages. Still have my paunch but feeling better about it

link

#

maybe I should check out Facebook… nah

link

#

punching in. Coworker has a new Windows Mobile phone. Does it work at all? Do bears shit in the woods?

link

#

no matter what I do, Windows Vista freezes my USB mouse. It’s like the old joke “mouse movement detected, restart computer?”

link

#

I’m not getting any updates via Twitter IM

link

#

Eavesdropping on “we’ve got a new flat” convos on the subway

link

#

Man I’m out of shape. Tomorrow, the gym!

link

#

great, peak phosphate to join peak oil? result: higher fertilizer prices, less food

link

#

Breakfast. Packing and cleaning up ahead. Epic yahtzee win by Viking

link

#

Huge press of hungry people at McD’s. Amazingly suboptimal cashier station arrangement

link

#

Home! Really not looking forward to work tomorrow

link

#

looking forward to reviewing my shots from the weekend. A few keepers, I hope!

link

#

Forgot to update yesterday. Arrived safely, weather’s not ideal but no rain

link

#

Enjoying lunch in Särdal

link

#

Afternoon: ice cream, dip in the sea, said hi to my cousin Pelle

link

#

Evening: dinner with the parents, yum. Nephew Erik is a handful! Relaxing with a beer

link

#

rented a car for the weekend and drove it in, soooo luxurious

link

#

I need some way to strip the ads from this crappy Live Messenger app

link

#

tried reading a “Star Wars” novel, utter dreck.

link

#

I wonder why my feed reader is full of libertarian nutcases

link

#

Looked like we were off on a quick start but we were foiled by a tiny metal ball

link

#

Oh noes I dropped the tiny black metal ball! Found it again, miraculously

link

#

South of Norrköping, filling up on carbs and caffiene

link

#

Man I fscking HATE Adobe Reader. How can something so simple become such a bloated carcass of anthrax-ridden pus?

link

#

so rumour has it that to type Swedish characters on the iPhone you’ll have to use a “special character” menu.

link

#

gearing up mentally for the long drive tomorrow afternoon

link

#

another piece of shitty software: the Backup Exec console

link

#

I’m pretty happy with this shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/gerikson/2654516299/

link

#

browsing the iphone app store

link

#

I see no IRC app, that’s a dealbreaker for me ;)

link

#

AIM for iPhone. It’s truly the new RAZR

link

#

and TypePad? what is this, 2003?

link

#

I really need to find out how to mute all notifications from a channel in Irssi

link

#

Photogear-themed morning, both good and disappointing

link

#

New used lens! Nikkor 35-70/2.8. Plus an Nikon F-90. Just fugly test shots so far

link

#

really enjoying google reader. So much more functionality than bloglines

link

#

falling in love with unix text tools all over again. cut -d’ ’ -f1 file | sort | uniq -c FTW

link

#

every time I’m faced with parsing apache logs I re-invent the same stupid wheel :(

link

#

I’m proud to announce that none of my glass is slower than f/2.8. Of course, none if it is faster either…

link

#

hmm the log extract is growing by 0.1G every 10s

link

#

1 day of logs == 9G

link

#

reading about peak oil is freaking me out!

link

#

Long wait for the tram :(

link

#

mmm twitter still rules the roost

link

#

what the hell does this script do?

link

#

regexp 101 here I come

link

#

my recent itunes migration between disks seems to have messed up my playcount, but it’s all good

link

#

man I have to decide lunch

link

#

Got the original strap for my new used Domke, much better

link

#

I always get performance anxiety when someone famous follows me (hi @rcade!)

link

#

identi.ca twitter bot has been offline for more than 24 hours now

link

#

I need a command-line app that can post to any microblogging service, or just one

link

#

i guess getting bltbee up and running would solve a lot of problems…

link

#

lazy sunday morning

link

#

I can’t write in Swedish any more :(

link

#

friendfeed needs an IM interface. And don’t tell me about crappily coded fugly AIR apps, they don’t cut it!

link

#

Heading into the city to see the wife off on the train

link

#

Shopping for new shoes, unstereotypically fast

link

#

Spent 443 SEK at the SF bookstore in Gamla Stan. Now to update my reading list!

link

#

not content with being offline, Twitter IM is now slow as molasses

link

#

I always like it when I stumble upon a rich vein of photo-nerdery: http://www.imx.nl/photo/

link

#

on my 3rd can of lager @ work

link

#

on the terrace having a beer

link

#

can’t seem to post via IM to identica, can’t really be arsed to investigate right now

link

#

oh for a standard way of exporting your social network! (migrating to identi.ca)

link

#

I think having 3 microblogging services is 2 too many. Cmon Twitter, fix your stuff!

link

#

heading up to the rooftop terrace for soem fresh air

link

#

nice, i can paste the Olympus XA DoF table into my Moleskine

link

#

Waiting for a fish ’n chips at the local greasy spoon

link

#

damn google is slow today, gmail, reader, search everything

link

#

fucking printer acting up again. I HATE PRINTERS

link

#

cleaned up my Flickr account, removed some old crap mobile phone shots from public view

link

#

Twitter’s removed the “follow” button now? beyond lame

link

#

Bus strike led to walk home from Gullmarsplan, took some pics along the way in the old cholera graveyard
