Autumn is coming

And I let it get to me every year. Rational thought is not enough to overcome these seasonal changes. Even though the last couple of days have been clear and sunny you can feel the change. Overall, August has been well below expected temperatures. I never thought about it when I was younger. Things were […]

In other news

Finished up Above and Beyond. 24 episodes. Thanks go out to LeJimster who has done a very good job at seeding and keeping the releases alive. This series sure brings back some memories. And not just of series itself but also the summer when it was first aired here in Sweden. Memories are a tricky […]

Top ten Chandra images of the year

Rednova: Top Ten for Chandra’s Fourth Anniversary
Basically the top ten X-Ray images from various parts of space. The ultimate dreamy vacation shots for people who have been watching too much Star Trek. Artificially colored gas clouds ahead …

Winamp 5 Alpha

More info at ntfs.org. Hopefully it will smooth over any problems from v3 and still keep the popular interface, speed and functions from v2.

New term

Has officially started. I’m having mixed feelings about it. Still dragging some courses from last year (yeah you guessed it, the boring ones that I deemed as pointless). Quite frankly I don’t like when things get too abstract and out of hand. This term I’m beginning with a level two course in sociology. Hopefully it […]

IKEA snafu

I went, I saw, I am now sleeping on the floor (almost). God damn I get tired of IKEA never having anything in stock when you need it. Lots of students had been there and snatched every damn bed in every imaginable size. Oh well, hopefully I can straighten this out tomorrow. They still owe […]

This and that

Almost finished with the first half of the third season of Stargate SG-1. The gigabytes keep piling up quickly around here and there is still no decision on the issue of a DVD burner. I’m stuck in the loop of waiting for a bigger and better model. Basically the worst thing that can happen when […]

Student insolence

I feel like I have gotten to know my Chinese friends quite well. I am doing my best to absorb and understand Chinese culture and also getting to know the Swedish dorm culture. Guess which one is more difficult to comprehend and adapt to? Could it be a culture on the other side of the […]

Media update

Still assembling IKEA furniture. LOL.
The Tron 2.0 PC game was released. Haven’t had time to try it out yet but according to trade show reviews this could be one of the more interesting games of the season. Seems like ages since there were any new games released worth getting.
And the viruses keep coming. This time […]

IKEA take 2

A big step forward. Was finally able to settle for a bed as well as a more complete shelf system and several new side tables (including those for plants). God I love IKEA. Hehehe. I’d say I am like 2/3 finished with the interior decorating. Still missing some technology to control the physical parameters of […]
