At Sickla doing my bit for the economy. iPod dock, wine, dvd cleaner. Now burger + hydrate, next ingredients for tonights dinner

link

#

of course camera is with me, but light is dull and flat. Listened to an entire Stackoverflow, I love that show

link

#

ok, prepared to do battle in the supermarket

link

#

Supermarket vanquished, but missed bus by 2 minutes. Twitterverse, keep my entertained!

link

#

loaned 2 more Moomin stories for reading aloud to Viking. Hey Author’s Guild of America, you can sue me if you want! #kindle #copyright

link

#

bus came early!

link

#

relaxing after making my way home with lotso stuff from Sickla

link

#

wtf is @beethamtower following me on Twitter? Seriously

Hi there Small Business(tm)! Even if you only have 1 page on your website, please put your opening hours on it. kthxbai

#

of all Zevon’s songs on “Transverse City”, “Networking” has aged the worst, yet it’s still such a happy, life-affirming song

hi there Emo Girl! Despite your obvious low self-esteem, you can do better than current Scruffy Boyfriend

dollar inching towards 9 SEK #currency #fail

link

#

plowing through 1,522 unread emails (after being OOO 2 days). And those are just the stuff I don’t already filter into “To be deleted”

link

#

in these economic straitened times it makes no sense in investing ethically. Bring on the cluster bombs, it’s sauve qui peut!

link

#

I find it deeply ironic that while prosecuting the #spectrial, the music industry insists on hobbling @spotify_com with geotarding

link

#

old Nokia model names really stick to your memory… like Teflon

link

#

time to claim some expenses

#

Ryanair to start charging for toilet visits? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7914542.stm #ryanair #extortion

link

#

disappointed the prints I ordered last week weren’t scanned to CD

link

#

thepiratebay.com seems offline. has the RIAA launched a pre-emtive strike, or has the #spectrial been good publicity?

link

#

enabled scrobbling from #spotify! #last.fm #audioscrobble

#

dollar is now > 9 SEK, Dow heading towards 7,000 #econocalypse

link

#

man I wish I could make calls on my E61 from Nokia’s PC sync

link

#

hehe #spotify skyscraper ads don’t resize well

link

#

TGIF!

#

days are getting lighter - half past 5 is grainy dusk and not Stygian blackness

#

loaded the FM2 with a roll of BW400CN fresh from the fridge

wrong day to run out of coffee grounds

#

testing tweeting from irssi via tircd http://code.google.com/p/tircd/

link

#

nice touch, apparently people who are following you get a ‘+’ in front of their nicks

link

#

here’s a quick test of how tircd handles Swedish characters: RÄKSMÖRGÅS

link

#

lookin’ good! I really like this client

link

#

tarek: glasses aren’t the end of hte world ;) how about contacts? Can you use those?

link

#

hmm, what to have to dinner

link

#

we will be having salmon, potatoes, carrots and onions, prepared in the oven #dinner

awesome, tircd tinyfies your links … I <3 this piece of software!

is it just me or has the photo-related blogging slowed down a lot?

getting mad at spoiled spendthrifts on TV (“Lyxfällan”)

Looking forward to the new version of #gravity during my commute tomorrow, so far the auto-updating has been flawless

Leo is off to see “Valkyrie”, hope he manages to take something away from it apart from Tom Cruise in a smart uniform

at home, sick

thanks internets for giving me the skinny on Safari 4. I’ll stick with Chrome

great, now we have a law (IPRED) that will allow private companies the powers of a police force. Welcome to the Panopticon #ipred

link

#

hi @c_of_e and thanks for following me! Dunno if we have much in common though!

yay, my blog at http://gustaf.symbiandiaries.com/weblog/ is back! Thanks @rafe!

Philip Jose Farmer lived in Peoria?? Random. http://is.gd/kQJC

ok “Jessica”, if that is your real name, looks like Twitter is blocking you as fast as you can create robo-accounts!

I know a lot of the FML stories are made up but sometimes they are too bizarre not to be true: http://www.fmylife.com/love/132840

out of battery? Are you serious?

link

#

access to gmail timing out…

link

#

I thought following the dpreview Nikon lens forum via RSS would be a potent source of luls, but it turns out it’s mostly depressing

link

#

how ironic that Twitter confirms that gmail is down…

link

#

Gmail: “We’re aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a small subset of users. “ - if by small you mean NZ, UK, and Sweden, then sure

link

#

here’s Google’s definition of the entire world as “a small subset”, recorded for posterity: http://is.gd/kEjq

#

Listening to Stack Overflow #41 with Uncle Bob. He has a weird accent. That, or he’s just enunciating very well

#

lol entire pavement in front of work blocked off because of falling snow/ice from the roof

link

#

testing TweetDeck, wishing it had identi.ca support!

link

#

man TweetDeck is the Twitter client for nerds. Of course, so far it’s the best client ever!

link

#

I kinda wish you could dock random apps to the vista sidebar… there does seem to be an invisible wall separating “normal” apps from it

link

#

err TweetDeck notification window? Please get the fsck out of my way, pronto

link

#

got a bonus morning sarnie courtesy of my boss, who was concerned there might be traces of nuts in it. Feeling kinda full now

link

#

hey all you new app designers, how about choosing another colour than charcoal gray? I know all the cool Mac apps are using it, but still?

hmm, maybe running “install Bundle::CPAN" was a mistake…

#

grrr, wondering why I can’t get my own timeline from @net_twitter

#

we had good light this morning, but it went away before I could get my ass out of the door. Borrowed Hanna’s micro-Nikkor 55/3.5

link

#

this day has sucked

link

#

no article by @gruber is complete without the phrase “private beta testing”

#

Stressful start to the day. Wish there was a good sandwich place near work, could do with a nice sarnie

some people just give me bad vibes when it comes to support

#

In line at Subways after 45 shooting and ogling old cameras

link

#

that should of course be 45 minutes

link

#

hmm tracks are disappearing from Spotify. I wonder why?

link

#

TGIF, time to head home and fix a nice meal!

Much as I like gravity, having Twitter integrated in WirelessIRC is so convenient! #mobileways.de

this acoustic set by Lloyd Cole in Bremen is fucking brilliant

oh Windows, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways…

haha I found this pretty amusing http://is.gd/kgHh, but I would not even consider downloading anything by U2… they are like totally boring

#

I find it pretty depressing that DN said Kadima was the “winner” of Israel’s election when anyone w/ a clue could see Likud would form a gob

Love how people will cram themselves into a full subway when another will come along in 2 minutes. Guess they’re eager to get to work #sl

Putty Connection Manager has its points but it’s a pretty buggy app altogether

I’m still LOLing at the fact that the #spectrial prosecutor had to drop the really meaty charge in the second day.

link

#

waiting until tomorrow to check in with the train tickets… I’m feeling a bit wonky and Viking has a nasty cough

link

#

Outlook’s mail filtering solution is so retarded… obscure syntax, limited storage space… oh for a plain-text solution!

link

#

it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you

kinda looking forward to my commute home and more Venture Bros!

link
