13 Reasons To Use Firefox

Source: 13 Reasons To Use Firefox Over IE
Believe it if you will. I’ve been using the software since the last version (Firebird) and I must say that it is the first browser in ages that challenges IE. What I don’t understand is why MS never releases any real updates for IE and instead just sits [...]

Site building for “Stones”

Principal work wrapped up this evening. The site has received the immediate face lift they requested. There are still some more design tweaks and features to implement but I’m more or less happy with the layout. As for the actual content, they’ll have to do that themselves

Unreal Tournament 2004

I must say I found the demo to be very sleek, very fluid and to the point. So much like the original Unreal Tournament, even down to the music. I’ll admit that the gameplay is hysteric though. Just a tad too fast for my liking.
There are many things to like about this game .. such [...]

Floating by …

Not much happening recently. The days just keep floating by like raindrops on a windshield. Not much I can do about it. Just biding my time.
Anyway, being such a nice guy, I’ve used this free time to help substantiate the new website for club “Stones”. At least it’s putting my webdesign abilities to good use. [...]

The king gets it again

Carl has done it again. It seems he keeps forgetting his place, or rather some people wish he’d keep a lower profile and not speak his mind, or be himself. Must be a pain in the ass to have someone like this around. Someone that doesn’t follow protocol and is impossible to get rid of. [...]

Robber Barons

It’s time for a little public disservice message. Indeed, it’s that time of year again. Just got the usual note slipped in my mailbox. So here we go again …
Just to give the background, once more, the situation is like this. Sweden has got a so called “public service” broadcasting system modelled largely after the [...]

BitTorrent client change

Or not. I really did try to like Azureus but I have to say it’s the worst piece of crap that I have seen in a very long time. It eats a little less memory than ABC most of the time but it also spikes to intolerable values. And the CPU load is close to [...]

The Future of Domain Registration

From Wired: False Domain Info May Mean Jail

Congress may crack down on businesses and people who provide false information when they register a website, proposing huge fines and extra jail time for those who violate copyright and trademark law.

As stated in the article … draconian is the best way to describe this. Some people [...]

The Gay Pendulum

I’m running out of titles for articles here. I wonder why I don’t begin my rants with a descriptive title at least. Oh well.
Here is the situation. I just walked by the TV and realized that the peculiar act that caught my interest was part of the annual “Gay Awards”. Yes really. There really is [...]

Red Dwarf Collection

Just acquired the last five seasons of the brilliant BBC comedy Red Dwarf.
So, finally, all eight seasons in digital format, surely something I’ve been dreaming of for years but it hasn’t been possible until very recently. Overall a very good series. A must have.
And contrary to what people will tell you, the series doesn’t deteriorate [...]
