Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 review

Over at The Digital Camera Resource Page. One of the first review available. Snippets:

So what areas aren’t so hot? While I think noise levels in images are comparable, the F828 does tend to have higher levels of purple fringing (or whatever you want to call it) than the competition. Although the F828 has its fair […]

Incubi

I haven’t had a nightmare like this for ages. And to be wide awake and still live the dream is rare for me. My sleep patterns must be out of alignment because it was indeed supposed to be a dreamless sleep. It all felt very different. Like some passage from my childhood thrust into the […]

The 10 Dumbest Quotes of 2003

Via FARK: The 10 Dumbest Quotes of 2003
#2: “Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not […]

Server downtime

As best as I can tell, the server was down from around midnight local time until late afternoon. No data loss and no explanatory email from the hosting company. Could have been worse I guess.
Also, I noticed a little something in the “random image” code that prevented “item pages” from loading. Just a fancy url […]

The meaning of away …

Ok. Since so many out there don’t seem to have clue as to why ICQ has all those fancy status modes I’m gonna break it down for you.
Quite frankly I’m annoyed when people keep sending me a cheerful “hi” and “what do you doing?” when I have clearly parked ICQ in AWAY MODE and set […]

Democracy Aid ‘04

This page has apparently caused quite an uproar in the US community. Kind of amusing if you ask me. The goal of this SWEDISH voluntary organization seems to be to raise funds and sponsor any attempt to prevent George W Bush from being reelected. Originally, the organization had ties to Move On but the latter […]

Lazy saturday

Not much happening around here. Not that there usually is.
Stuff. The water canisters that I was gonna get were out of stock. Probably for good. It figures. At 50 SEK they were a real bargain. I’ve seen the same model being sold for about 150-180 SEK elsewhere.
Can’t seem to let go of the grand kitchen […]

Website development

Decided to change the header and footer a bit. Nothing final, just playing around. Got so very sick of that dashed line I was using so I opted for a more high tech bar layout instead. And by shrinking the main logo a bit I can now fit three “random icons” at 1024x resolution.
I have […]

Gaming Open Market

Via Fark: The next generation of game commodity trading.
Bizarro-world entry of the month and possible contender for goofball idea of the year. Someone decided to open an exchange market for imaginary currencies. How do “SWG credits” compare to “There therebucks” and “TSO simoleans”? You can also trade game items and accounts. Everything is of course […]

LDW-411S Firmware FS0G

New firmware since a couple of days ago. Can be found in .bin format at dhc014.rpc1.org. Haven’t tried it out yet. Is supposedly supporting a lot more +/-R media types but screws up KPROBE. Will be very interesting to test drive with the yellow Datawrite / Princo discs. Maybe I will finally get lucky and […]
