two ways to crash a dualcore machine.

October 15th, 2007

i kid i kid.

but aftonbladet.se and azureus are two surefire ways to bog it down.

poco, i’m goin loco.

The next time you choose to develop a app depending on third party framework, make sure the fucking thing uses a sane buildsystem — scons, autofoo WHATEVER just make sure it bloody works on external builds. and that the redheaded stepchild has the correct line endings. dos on unix? please.

open source, open sores.

of branding.

September 30th, 2007

it really strikes me, the casual observer, as odd that the jerusalem battalions and hezbollah have such similar “logos”.

on the other hand how hard can it be to make a logo with an arm held upright with an assault rifle in hand and topped off with some funky typography.

unnatural sentiments.

September 15th, 2007

What is it with the working class that makes them consider everyone that isn’t working or able to work, fit to die? there’s a lot to be said about people who leech off of the welfare system. but dying is not a sentiment we should encourage in society.

Pirillo on computing.

September 6th, 2007

I would never cut off my nose to spite my face. I’m not abandoning Microsoft (or Windows entirely, for that matter). I do feel, however, that Microsoft Windows has already abandoned me as a power user. If you’re content with Windows Vista, fine - but you’re doing yourself a tremendous disservice by dismissing Mac OS X because it doesn’t work the same way.

[From A Different Kind of Personal Computer ~ Chris Pirillo]

Chris Pirillo on computing, food for thought to say the least. he highlights the good and bad things about the diff. next generation platforms — not that vista or osx is particularily next generation since they’ve both been on the market for a period (osx 10.4 is current, 10.5 is however next up)

curse you adobe!

“Use Flash for interfaces to sites, for quick impact. Use Shockwave for more complex multimedia work, or for web applications that are beyond the browsers’ abilities.”

adobe kb article.

i’d like to generalise it down to: “here’s how we say something without really explaining anything”

bah.

me and malin

September 2nd, 2007

me and Malin, graduation. awesome pic, however, i have no beard

and well, I did shave my head not too long afterwards. funny how losing a beard makes you look 10kg lighter — wishful thinking at best ;)

Petrovna.

September 1st, 2007

today Sun released “Darkstar“, game server middleware aimed at mmorpg’s. Sun’s got a lot of iron the furnace atm, now let’s see what slags off and not, Darkstar seems interesting from the interoperability angle, but other than that. heh, it’s Sun, its bound to be built on java without midp support.

single node only, multinode is slated for a later release so no big iron fawning just yet — sorry for the Laynia Petrovna title-bait ;)

motherfrakking snakes in the closet.

August 21st, 2007

Since someone asked about how to best organise them motherfrakking snakes.

I roll each belt up and close the loop with with the end of whichever side of the belt is the loose end. — I prefer to roll the belt together by starting with the buckle facing inwards and going from there and then use the loose end to stick through the tiny slit of the belt-roll.

on the other hand, I only ever use one out of four belts at a time so it’s very neat.

August 18th, 2007

Seriously, I enjoy counterculture comics as much as the next joker.

But I feel uneasy when my spandex clad superheroes go ubermacho and slash-stereotypes on steroids with a knack for ultraviolence.

or when a cheesy brit gal adorning the union jack on her jacket, or say, a guy who’s been kidnapped by aliens errr.. make that abducted but anyway, and operated upon to have gymnastic soles for feet and travels through cities in a cocoon.

but after reading the “earth inferno� album about “The Authority� by Warren Ellis, I gotta ask myself, seriously Warren, cthulhu phallic fetishes from outer space? What the hell?!

evangelion.

August 16th, 2007

so uhm, seems like Gainax are showing a remake of the cult anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion� tv-series.

so wanting this to show in Sweden or Europe for that matter probably is asking too much. but hey, whoever thought the mafiaa connected franchises were making decent business decisions, is sadly Wrong.

kuffiyah

August 15th, 2007

i’m tossing my shemagh, frakking ColinFarrel.

I’ve had a Shemagh in one form or another since highschool, they make for a warm winter here in Sweden as opposed to sub-arctic cold. and now. it’s become trendy since reactionary is cooler than conservative.

Thanks Hollywood, promote more idiots if you would, please, can’t wait for the next Paris Hilton movie. yeah, right. Seriously.

politics.

August 14th, 2007

so net-gain of having social democrats in power in sweden? higher taxes (across the board) youth crime at an all time high, massive gang related crime, Even worse healthcare, budget deficit and citizen political participation at an all time low — youth parties show a 90% decline in membership over a ten year period.

naivity.

August 14th, 2007

I AM MEGATRO^H yeah so I’ve seen Transformers, the new movie. the Live Action movie.

the one with huge mecha breakin’ and slamming into buildings. it was all I ever wanted out of the movie and damn they delivered.

and yeah, who cares Optimus has a mouth or that Bumblbee is a camaro :/ — love the car park in the beginning where bumblebee is parked next to a yellow bug.

pro-choice.

August 13th, 2007

ok. so. yuck. but I need to get this off my chest.

pro-choice is a good thing, abortion is each and everyones private fragging decision. it’s not something we should, or need to make into a political talking point, because, gosh dolly, we have enough of those (base income tax, union taxes, salary raises etc) anyway.
