I don't know about many Australians, but Stephen Conroy should forever be remembered for his stupidity.
In the mean time, an uprising here in Sweden is shaking the bastards who want to play RIAA and sue kids for sharing music with each others. The proposal seems to be changed as the politicians start to realize that criminalizing what 70% of the population is doing, is a bad start for any election campaign. This particular proposal was about handing out IPs to the people who are sharing to the copy monopoly holders.
Red Alert 3 review
Great trailer... Don't know about the game.
I'm trying to make ads more wanted: Finding Christmas Presents
Someone might find it interesting. It's soon Christmas after all.
Elftown review
The first review of anything!
OK, I was wrong. It wasn't a bug, but me doing the testing wrong. I've now fixed everything I can think of, so start to test it out and make loads of
Reviews!
I've been working on a new review function for a while now. It's still not working correctly yet though, so it will take a few more days until Elftown gets updated.
The idea is that you fill out one form, and then you'll get a wiki-page created, a diary-note written, an image uploaded and included and the ones compiling the reviews get a wiki-comment in that review-section
I hope people will start to use that instead of writing diary entries about things they review, because wiki-pages are so much easier to find in a search.
Legalize it...
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen even if I'm really not interested in the legalize-issue
It's quite simple: The cops (with related industries) and the criminals want illegal marijuana because it gives them job, and everyone else has to pay for it being illegal:

Apparently one has to be thinking as the rest of the pack if one is an astronomer. But here are some interviews of a few people who have spoken up:

And at the same time LHC is said to explain what happened at the Big Bang. Great, except for the fact that Big Bang never happened.
Tomorrow I'll be cleaning the house, then on Wednesday and Thursday I have a German invasion to take care of.
Hot!
Linköping is a pioneer city when it comes to large scale cooling systems which are much more efficiant than the small ACs that generally are in use.
So this means that the university, for example, is nice and cold. But of course no one in Sweden seems to care about cold at people's homes! It's freaking 29 Celisius in my flat and 32 in poor [Elftron]'s room. And that's for processors that should not be warmer than 45... But the processor is extremely well cooled, so it's not a problem yet.
Computers! 
At 15:33 my destop computer suddenly decided that it's a good idea to turn itself off. No clue on what happened. It's on a UPS so if there were a power-problem, it should have been unaffected. Lucky it wasn't [Elftron] this time...

What to do if you're ordered to make a video about a metal song about Gorbachov? Well, someone has played to much Barbarian and Commando:

Lots of programming!
I don't know when I worked so much before. Maybe a week when I worked at Roxen. It just feels nice to see news things coming true, and I don't really encounter any big problems, except the ones I ignore for the moment (Like where the damn stuff to the right that somehow always is in the wrong order).
Generally I feel pretty worked out, but it feels much better than the normal "lazied out". At least I haven't competed in chess boxing:

A 750 GByte disk and a 1 TByte disk ordered. They are both a little slower (15%) than the current disk is supposed to be, but it doesn't matter that much for the images. Elftown's main drain of IO is the database-disk.
I'll get the disks on Monday or probably on Tuesday (There is a holiday here tomorrow - Sweden's National Day).
Harddisk problems at Elftown
The image disk in [Elftron] has serious problem. It takes 100 seconds to write down a 20 MByte file on the image disk. The same file takes way less than a second to write to the nicely working database disk. ([Elftron] also has a system disk, but that is a little slower disk, but way better than the broken disk).
Reading from the disk causes no problems though, so Elftown can serve you images without problem. But when people upload images, it will take much longer time. This rarely happen though, and we haven't noticed any slowdown so far.
I'm ordering a new disk now and at the same time I'll order a huge disk for backups too.
Maybe I should also send the disk (and an older broken one) back to the shop to get new disks for them, but as there is sensitive data on them so it's really nothing I want to do, and wiping them is way too much work especially since they are working so badly. The disks (Seagate 7200.10) are 85 euros each, so it's not that much money, even if it's sad to lose them.
