LifestreamWhat is this guy doing anyway? For those who are wondering what I’m up to after the summer break (yeah, I’m just lazing in the shade these days) I can now calm everyone and present you with some hot news on the subject.
I will be taking Social Psychology as part of a three year program. [...]

A few drops of rain and the lawn is saved for another week. Couldn’t have come at a better time, I was just on my way to haul out the sprinklers (again). In in the case of gardening as well as pretty much everything it is probably best to just lay back and let nature [...]
Found this extremely cool gadget from Trust. Looks like a Star Trek phaser but is really a wireless trackball with a nifty trigger finger button. Maybe a contender in the how-to-best-control-the-HTPC competition? Waaaay too expensive in Sweden however. Less than half the the price if you import from the Uk for example. Just another proof [...]
Nothing much, but things are really rolling on the projects front. I began doing inquiries on wireless keyboards and desktop cases and did the usual city tour to replenish supplies.
Quick summary (there is really no need to dwell any further on the subjects unless any of them develop into something substantial, in which case they [...]
Gotta love nitpicking reviewers. Some time ago I brought up Mr. Cranky. His review on Attack of the Clones for example goes something like this:
” Natalie Portman plays her half of this love connection like a lithium patient who’s wandered onto the set of “Elimidate.” Such mastery of the art of staring straight ahead hasn’t [...]

Other movies that I certainly wouldn’t [...]
Nothing much but I’ve decided to forward to battleangel.host.sk instead of placing the link inside of a frame. The main URL is still battleangel.org, which I have no intention of releasing. The reason for this is that ‘favicons’ can’t be used via this type of frame. Big deal? Perhaps. Looks much better now anyway that [...]
Just a recommendation for anyone who is interested in classical music. ARTHAUS specializes in music DVDs from various fields like ballet, opera and concert. The reason I’m mentioning it is the fact that the discs I’ve tried so far (Messiah and Requiem) have been exceptionally well put together. Anamorphic widescreen and DD5.1 combined isn’t all [...]
I had a visit from an old friend today. It reminded me of how easily you drift apart, separated by time and space. And meeting one old friend can easily jog your memory towards the seemingly inevitable state of melancholic nostalgia. The neural connections to past people and events once lost down memory lane now [...]
.. is that they generally have some sort of copy protection. Also, if you play them using a computer you will very soon find out just how limiting the technology is as far as networking is concerned. Put simply, there is no practical way in hell to stream data from a DVD over a network [...]
