LifestreamOk, so this is pretty much a constant annoyance these days. However, this time they have really stepped out of bounds as far as I am concerned. And here is why …
We’ve all heard the news by now .. Freedom Fries. This has got to be the single most stupid thing I have heard since [...]

They say mondays really suck. It’s nothing that has been verified on a scientific basis though. Today for example, we learn the ultimate agenda of the Swedish/Finnish communications fascist giant TeliaSonera.
TeliaSonera sätter åt storsurfare (in Swedish)
A couple of snide remarks made in the forum (also in Swedish, sorry)
Essentially this is all about profit. DSL hasn’t [...]
Fake alert? Well, lets assume it’s a real trend or my point will be lost.
The latest fashion trend in Japan seem to be see-thru skirts. Ok, so they are not really see-thru but rather photo prints. It’s amazing that no one has ever though of this before.
Still, it seems kind of dumb and personally I [...]
Retrocrush has a list of The coolest toys ever. Kind of brings back some fond memories. This list makes me want to rush to the closest toy store and buy Slime right away. Can you even get that today?
Still, I’m a bit disappointed that there is no mentioning of Transformers anywhere on the list. On [...]
ALERT! World Health Organization issues emergency travel advisory
This just arrived from the World Health Organization and concerns the recent outbreak of SARS:
During the past week, WHO has received reports of more than 150 new suspected cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), an atypical pneumonia for which cause has not yet been determined. Reports to [...]
Gah. I’m going crazy here. And just because my pile of blank CDRs is running low. So, whats the big deal? Most people buy CDs all the time and they don’t make such a big deal out of it.
Well, maybe they should. It’s an investment that can turn really sour if you go cheap or [...]
I know that I’ve been ranting a lot about hacked DC++ clients in the past. Well, running a hacked client solves the bandwidth problem but it also creates a heap of new problems (like getting kicked by facist hubs). Now I have tracked down two standalone utils for that very same purpose —
Bandwidth Controller
NetLimiter
I must [...]
Catalyst 3.2 is out and it apparently fixes A LOT as usual. So far I’m very impressed with the quality and effort of the ATI drivers team. The biggest “fixes” this time around is the strange stuttering problem a lot of people have been experiencing and Framebuffer read-back performance.
I also noticed that the Remote Wonder [...]
The Fog (1980).
Yeah, I’m really saving electrons today, hence the micro review. Why bother ranting about it when you really only have one thing to say: Get the remastered DVD asap! I did and to me this represents one of the best horror movies of all time. It’s worth at least five teen slasher scream [...]
It has been a while since I’ve mentioned my dental “situation”. I had a final procedure scheduled for next monday (17th) but for various reasons I chose to postpone. Hopefully this will decrease the Soft tissue impaction and give full M3 eruption now that the corresponding tooth in the upper jaw is no longer in [...]
