our timesheet system is pretty damn good. I know from personal experiences what horrors they can be

 

got a lot of tips about effective resume writing from a recruiter, now acted upon them and will submit it to my eagle-eyed wife for review

 

wherever you look, the forum buttache over the Canon 7D is truly epic #forumtards

 

hmm metro or boat home?

 

finished re-reading “Halting State” and loaned it to @Veidit #stross

 

snabb koll av svenska tecken, tircd i irssi i screen i FreeBSD i ssh från Ubuntu: räksmörgås

 

tja, någonstans går det fruktansvärt fel

 

helping my sis-in-law connect to the wifi …

 

hemtelefonen funkar igen… peppar peppar #fb

Carbo-loading at McD’s with Viking and Teodor #weekend #kids

 

Verdana is a great typeface, for online viewing! I use it myself. But plastered all over a catalog? That’s just cheap #IKEA #typeface #fail

 

spent the weekend reading more about photo gear than actually taking pictures… sad #photog

On my way in to Nybrokajen on “Emelie” #stockholm #sjöstaden

 

just met with a recruiter, got a lot of good tips about smartening up the ole resume

 

shooting with the SB-24 makes me want a real speedlight, not my wimpy SB-400. And it has to have iTTL #photog #nikon

 

I’ve managed to blog at least once a month since 2004: http://is.gd/2DSWU

looks like the new Canon 7D is the answer to Nikon’s D300s http://is.gd/2Bcws #photog #rumors

 

hmm my “smart” solution wasn’t that smart

 

part of me is happy I’m getting my watch repaired for a modest sum, part is disappointed I’m not getting a new watch

 

reading @scalzi’s deconstruction of Star Trek physics, not nearly as fun as the Star Wars on http://is.gd/2BhHu

 

Swedish regulator forbids the string “bank” in .se domain names… regulatory overstep http://stupid.domain.name/node/812

 

why just “bank”, why not funds, or insurance-related strings? #PTS needs to explain itself!

 

if you have a store called RayBan Kings you can’t have “raybankings.se”. Lunacy, as @jimh says :) #PTS #fail

 

I wish identi.ca all luck, but it’s not enough to build a better mousetrap, you need the mice (=audience). Twitter appeal=everyone’s on it

 

UPS and me == missed connections, and the package isn’t even for me

 

I’m not a fan of the current Israeli government, but whoever’s in charge, it’s not an easy job

finally got my iPod to start syncing. I’m sure it’s not Apple’s fault, but I’m blaming them anyway

 

waiting with bated breath for cron scripts to execute

 

bated breath or baited breath? http://bit.ly/2ZH2R

 

gah balance is subtly off in my headphones

 

sold a children’s bed via #Blocket, good experience in general!

 

Impact as a typeface has more or less been rendered irrelevant by LOLwhatevers. You can’t take anyting written in it seriously #typography

Taking the boat this morning

 

doin’ the password change dance

 

no-one would have heard about the Aftonbladet piece if the Israeli gvnmt hadn’t flipped out #aftonbladet #israel

 

if the Israeli gvnmt or defense forces feel slandered, feel free to bring a civil suit against #aftonbladet. Pressuring our gvnmt is weak

 

the brouhaha in English: http://www.thelocal.se/21634/20090823/

 

man lotso bad feelings in the press this morning, #israel #aftonbladet and #anna.odell and this by Charlie Stross http://is.gd/2w92m

yet another week on call. Big woop

 

I would be very surprised – nay, flabbergasted – if Apple approves the #Spotify iPhone app

 

apple’s Swedish iPhone ads are grating, I guess they’re the same the world over. Who loves that twee and twinkly music?
