Buses flying rainbow flags today, cool!

 

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

 

Finally arrived at Tech museum, having a packed lunch!

 

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

 

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

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

tweets for 2008-07-22

 

Guess we’ll have a “staycation” this year

 

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

 

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

 

Radovan Karadjic arrested - after 13 years

 

enjoying a (slightly stale) cigar

 

amazingly irritating twittering noise from the building site across the green

painless migration of the support queue stats from MRTG to RRDtool

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

Overslept madly

 

this day has FAIL written all over it

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

next to last day at work, w00t

 

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

 

fuck http://tinyurl.com/5ghweu

 

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

 

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

tweets for 2008-07-16

tweets for 2008-07-14

 

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

 

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

 

I’m not getting any updates via Twitter IM

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Home! Really not looking forward to work tomorrow

 

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

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

 

Enjoying lunch in Särdal

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

I wonder why my feed reader is full of libertarian nutcases

 

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

 

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

 

South of Norrköping, filling up on carbs and caffiene

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

 

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

 

gearing up mentally for the long drive tomorrow afternoon

 

another piece of shitty software: the Backup Exec console

 

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

 

browsing the iphone app store

 

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

 

AIM for iPhone. It’s truly the new RAZR

 

and TypePad? what is this, 2003?

 

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

tweets for 2008-07-09

 

Photogear-themed morning, both good and disappointing

 

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

 

really enjoying google reader. So much more functionality than bloglines

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

1 day of logs == 9G

 

reading about peak oil is freaking me out!

 

Long wait for the tram :(

tweets for 2008-07-08

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

on the terrace having a beer

tweets for 2008-07-03

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

heading up to the rooftop terrace for soem fresh air

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