sleeping in

I’m a few days away from declaring google reader bankrupcy

ok time to take down all the stuff around the computer…

loving using Twitter via irssi (#tircd) About the only thing missing is that Swedish chars get messed up

maybe I should set up a test account for that

my considered opinion on #GoogleWave: it’s not gonna get you laid

it feels weird to be on the other side of the termination process…

iTunes seems to have issues generating a text file of all my music…

Computer shut down for good, all stuff disconnected and tucked neatly in. Feeling a bit sad… #quitting

No termination tickets generated yet! They’ll have to scramble to shut down my sudo access I think ;)

ok no going back now!

Picking up the rental

Burn säljer “shots” som kostar <20:-> styck för 50ml. Helt otroligt #fb

Vin sprit och öl inhandlat! #fest #fb

Today was my last day at PriceRunner, I’ve got very mixed feelings right now…

speaking of TV shows, the theme song for “Enterprise” sucks

Prime time commuting. Interesting note in Ny Teknik about a radioactive battery #future

Exchange is not my favourite piece of software right now… #enterprisey

more on the nuclear battery: http://bit.ly/Xq0e9 #awesome

ok, right now I’m hating both Exchange and DNS

Ursula LeGuin is 80 today, congratulations! #leguin80

Thanks @Veidit for making the DNS sun shine!

Great day for #SL #tramfail

man, it really is Monday today…

Google Wave is the most hyped Wiki in the history of humankind!

feels like an early lunch is in order

tried exporting my Contacts as a textfile, crashed Outlook #microsoft #quality

Picasa 3.5 face recognition is pretty freaky

at today’s #subrosa, we tried to reboot the Nobel Prize

ZOMG Twitter #groups! At this rate they’ll have replicated Jaiku by 2013

just wrote a script that will be in production after I quit … makes you code defensively

what if you got a Google Wave invite and it was all meh?

heading home on Friday with a couple of brewskis in me == #win

Jag känner mig helt bortkopplad från svensk politik. Vad är oddsen för regeringsskifte inom ett år? #politik #fb

VueStar claims a patent on linking to pics/media… if they win it would clean up the internets real good

can’t see any of my previous waves when I log in from Ubuntu. Wave glitch? Ubuntu Chrome glitch? A sign I should drink more wine?

Google Wave marginally more useful once people are using it… it’s like Facebook for nerds

quote of the day: ``He stands in a pair of his oversized loafers on the worn skin of a lesser kudu’’ http://is.gd/4kqZk

thanks @vero for the #wave invite … now impatiently waiting for it to arrive

apparently #wave invites take a few days to wend through the system… maybe the Googleplex will decide I AM NOT WORTHY

yet another reason not to license your stuff under Creative Commons: http://is.gd/4kAZb #photog #copyfight

lftp’s scripting capabilities are obscure, but the tutorial helps

I could do with a beer right now…

Yay Google Reader in #Gravity! one step closer to total world domination

damnit I’ll miss having 2 monitors at my next gig… and it’s hardly the first thing I can comment on, is it?

wordpress theme files hold no mysteries for me… I am victorious!

best thing about new #photog announcements: reading the forums nerds getting their knickers in a twist http://is.gd/4jhWz

I think Nikon released the 85/3.5 DX specifically to piss off FredMiranda posters #photog

biggest example of the Streisand Effect yet? #guardiangag http://bit.ly/V8wuj

before today I’d never heard of #trafigura, now the only thing I know is they’re oil-dumping, gag-ordering scumbags

``Master ticket: shut down old PriceRunner platform’’

#CarterRuck must be wondering what hit them… also probably plotting to restrict blogging in future

Nilkon Nikkor 14-24/2.8 for sale in Stockholm, good price http://www.blocket.se/vi/24101369.htm

Too many people in the subway for me to read my fat hardback copy of “The Dark Valley”

latest gimmicky stupidity from people with more social media nous than sense http://www.project10-50.com/ #photog

reading about the 19th history of France… a lot of shit went down there during that period

I’m getting the feeling that a lot of wingnuts will want to introduce an American alternative to the Nobel prize.

today’s plan: tech support for relatives #killmenow

tech support solution: buy new laptop!

Packard Bell lappy for 4K SEK purchased, now for setup!

if Obama winning the Peace Prize doesn’t prove he is the Antichrist I don’t know what will #wingnut

The boys are having a grand old time at the science museum. Read about the moon camera

I think the Norwegians gave the Peace prize to Obama specifically to piss off the wingnuts. Guess a boycott is in order!

Otoh Norway’s only exports are oil and cod…

Heading home, wish I had a car

Maybe it’s perceo

Maybe it’s perception bias but it seems everyone in Stockholm has an iPhone or a E71

Obama får Fredspriset är som när Helena Bergström blev korad tidernas bästa skådespelerska av “svenska folket” #fb

Really enjoying the Angry Mac Bastards podcast and their skewering of new media douchebags

clocking in

bah! seem to have lost NFS access

ironically, Google Sidewiki doesn’t work in Google Chrome…

I’m not going to miss this laptop when I move on. Fscking piece of crap Dell shit

anyone else get the feeling Google has jumped with shark with Wave and Sidewiki?

I had a decent amount of fun playing Halo 3: ODST, but it’s bargain-basement bottom-feeting Mil SF at the core. So much macho bullshit

I wish I knew what app/process is pegging one of my cores so I could hang, draw, and quarter it

totally unsupported but I’m inclined to blame last.fm for the core pegging.

I wish my computer had resistant TB and was in a respirator so I could pull the plug and see it suffocate

Got a call from Franks Ur, my Omega DeVille has been repaired! It looks brand new!

On my way into #subrosa, listening to #Stackoverflow podcast. Running late though

I enjoy looking at landscape shots more than I enjoy taking them #insight #photog

can’t remember if I read Ellroy’s “American Tabloid”…

man why isn’t the office coffee machine on Twitter? Now I have to walk 30m to see if it’s got beans in it

I wonder if all the Google Wave haters are the ones who didn’t get an invite?

.@jimh agreed, being mentioned in the same breath as Lotus Notes is a warning, not an endorsement

På väg hem på Tvärbanan med en flaska Alsace för kvällens recept #fb
