Sense of Humour

.. is when someone posts battlestar.galactica.s01e05.ws.pdtv.xvid to Suprnova but in reality it’s a clip from “Pissende Schulmädchen 4″ that has been copied 25 times and RARed. For those 4000+ people, including myself, who just jumped the download without reflecting over how unusual it is to RAR archive an AVI to a single file and without [...]

PC Game Scene Reflections

Call me complaintive and a lazy non-contributor to the scene but recent events have made me wonder where all this is heading.
Cracked ISO CD / DVD vs CloneCD / DVD As it stands we are seeing a flood of CloneCD releases which is downright awful. I’m sorry, it just is. I don’t use CDs anymore [...]

Half-Life 2

Amazingly enough the game seems to be out. Edit: Nuked or not it will be out any time now. Around four gigabytes of data. Seems like a lot of bloat to me, but initial reviews say it’s the best FPS ever so .. it’s probably worth it. Can’t be any worse than Doom 3 now [...]

Religion 0 - Science 1

Dean Hamer hits a nerve once again with his claims of having found a “God Gene“. It’s those little things that really makes life worthwhile in a world overrun by dark age humanistic ideas and non-scientific religious thinking.
While the term “God Gene” is immensely popularized and the actual discovery is of a transporter molecule that [...]

Site changes

Implemented the Webaware Instant Messaging Status script for Miranda. Seems to be working nicely. It even picks up the %variables% from AwaySys. Don’t expect it to always say something interesting though. But it might. Sort of like a message of the day.
Added a NewLinkBox that fetches the latest 8 items from the CNCAT table in [...]

WebAware 0.2 for Miranda

This marvellous little plugin just got updated to include XML storage and HTTP POST uploading support. Lets see if I can finally put it to good use. Still the only way that I know of to get your MSN status on the web. Again, it’s amazing that the author accepted the feedback (mine for example) [...]

Continuous hash fails

WTF? Even though I switched to the latest Azureus Bittorrent client (2.2.0.0, because the tracker required it), I am still getting massive hash fails. Started before I migrated from ABC though. So far I’ve had hundreds of megabytes wasted and tens of gigabytes stuck in limbo because it cannot complete. Somewhere during the download, one [...]

World of Warcraft Launch

Sounds really interesting even though I haven’t played any of the betas .. but wait … they’re charging $14.99 a month. No thanks Blizzard. Besides, I guess one has to buy the game also and that European servers will have a low priority. When will you guys learn …

Autumn Photography

I spent the better part of the day out in the forest, trying to digitally capture the essence of the season. The first real attempt to put the digital camera to some use also. So here it is, an ordinary gloomy autumn morning in Sweden.
Also, I integrated watermarking technology with coppermine. Check it out. Only [...]

MediaPC .. soon

I’m sorry to report that the new Media PC is still not completed. The mainboard that I ordered was more difficult to procure than I had anticipated. Can’t even get a presumptive restock date from the reseller. I had no idea mATX mainboards were so hard to get hold of. I think it would be [...]
