This and that and strolling

Gothenburg. First real summer day yesterday. Not bad at all. For a couple of minutes at least until you can stand it no longer. Either way the weather goes I can’t help but to complain a bit. It is my nature I guess.
Just walking the streets aimlessly, conversing the past, present and future. I kind […]

Stargate Atlantis Premiere

Will look into that shortly …

Guantanamo: Mehdi Ghezali

Since being released a couple of days ago, Ghezali has kept a very low profile. His first public appearance today revealed nothing new to the story, except to repeat his rather disturbing statement of his time in captivity at Guantanamo Bay. He was quoted saying that he “had experienced both physical and psychological torture” and […]

PHP include_path

I’ve had some problems with paths in the last couple of weeks. Most likely something with my hosting company since perfectly good and previously working scripts (such as Mambo and Coppermine) ceased to function. What happened was that I typically had a root folder with some sort of index.php. In that file there was a […]

This and that

|| THE WORLD || So, it is business as usual around here. Even the weather in Sweden never fails to suck. So far the summer has been downright awful. It’s a good thing I’m at work most of the time. Instead of waking up and feeling the tender heat of a summer morning, I hear […]

Legal Split and Common Sense

Oh, what an uproar there has been after the verdict in the Anna Lindh trial. Why people even care is beyond me. It seems that John Doe is bent on blood and revenge … and media is obviously there to ask for pointless opinions.
“How could doctors be so divided on their diagnosis”?
Like that is a […]

China overturns Viagra patent

Finally a major setback for those that advocate intellectual property legislation.
Officials in China have defended their decision to overturn a patent on the anti-impotence drug, Viagra.
US business groups have condemned the decision, which they say has far-reaching implications. But some Aids activists hope it could spell good news for Chinese people with HIV/Aids.

I totally […]

Movie: Spider-Man 2

Another day, another blockbuster opening. Kind of liked the movie even if it might not be so great for the action crowd. Overall a very good sequel. The villain is better and more important in the actual Spider-Man universe. The gags were often slapstick and quite funny as opposed to the tired old verbal cliches […]

The Firefox Cookie Jar

I too ran across this problem recently. One might think that 300 cookies is plenty but it isn’t. Not if you take into account that just about every site these days is storing cookies on your computer. Especially advertising firms and pr0n sites.
As great as Firefox is, there are some serious issues that weren’t apparent […]

Windows Update v5 vs Pirates

It seems that Microsoft has added a little extra snag into the new Windows Update software. I haven’t noticed yet because for some reason I’m still being forwarded to version 4 of the script. But apparently the new version is set to be much more strict on the usage of non-issued keys. I believe that […]
