At my parents' place i Ljusdal now. I'm quite tired.
Busy...
I'm going away now and then sleep and then on the train. Will probably log in tomorrow evening, but I might be a little distracted during the weekend.Written about Wednesday 2009-04-08

I guess I should do one of these stupid things. Copied from a private entry:
Is there anyone you would like to just appear at your front door right now?
Yes!
Who was the last person you hugged and why?
Judith because I hadn't seen her for many months.
Who was the last person you said 'love you' too?
I generally don't speak English... But I guess I said the meaning to Lilo.
What are your views on vegetarianism?
I don't have any.
Are you single/taken
Single.
Do you like to take walks?
Sometimes.
Last time you laughed really hard?
I don't remember. It wasn't too long ago, but not very lately.
How late did you stay up last night?
Stupid question!
Excited for anything?
No.
Last three things you had to drink?
Milk, water and Bulgarian home-made plum vodka (Just a little).
What is your current annoyance?
That I'm lazy and write this crap instead of programming.
Where was your default picture taken?
At the university.
What were you doing at 12:30 this afternoon?
Getting ready for breakfast.
What would you name your future daughter?
Lindonia...
Do you miss anyone?
Yes.
Do you sleep with the door open or closed?
Lilo don't let me have the door closed. The flat-door is locked, of course.
You good at hiding your feelings?
No, but I try.
Are you wearing socks?
Yes.
What's on your mind right now?
"Why am I dong this?"
Are there any stressful situations in your life?
Not too much.
Who do you go to when you need to talk about something important?
Depends. [Sunrose] or maybe my ex-girlfriend if it's love problems.
Have you ever been taken to the emergency room in an ambulance?
Yes, but I wasn't the one who had tried to commit suicide...
Where did you get the shirt/sweats
It's an Elftown t-shirt! I ordered it.
Ever stayed up all night on the phone?
No. I don't see the point of long phone talks.
Have you hugged someone within the last week?
Yes, a few.
Will this Friday be a good one?
I'll be on a train, so I doubt it will be great, but it will be OK and nice to see my parents and some relatives and get a break from everyday routine.

I've been programming Javascript all day. Now I have a somewhat working slideshow function for the photo-pages here on Elftown. All that is needed is to have a page with images inside of boxes and you'll get a slideshow-butt
The RegExps took some time to figure out, but now I got what I need at least. Well, almost.

And how should I eat without a working stove?!? At least I have a micro and plenty of bread at home.
Crash!
Bloody nothing works! Elftown crashed today because my stove is so broken that it wipe out the electricity in my entire flat when turned on. And the fine shiny UPS that should save Elftown didn't work even for the minute it took me to turn the power on. I hate UPSes! They don't work when they are needed half of the times. Their batteries obviously have to be checked all the time, and how to do that isn't clear. Changing them involves closing the server down anyway.
If there could be UPSes with capacitors, I would love to have one, even if it can't sustain power that long. As long as it doesn't suddenly stop working after 2 years!
I think about 7 postings were lost and maybe some house-updates are lost. Worse is that 30 hours of diary notes, guestbook notes and wikicomments have been lost (Some sort of accident in the recovery.). The wiki-changes should be OK though.
Braindead anti-capitalists strikes again
Activists stormed the closed Royal Bank of Scotland at 15 o'clock today in a protest against capitalism or something. The thing is however that the bank is now crashed and socialized! So the anti-capitalis
I do understand that people get angry when there are people making loads of money during the current crises, but then target people who actually make loads of money (in a bad way)! Go and get those people (and companies) who get huge sums for holding rights to dead authors' book, patents and make money from fighting monopoly fights in courts instead! These are the people who really steal from the poor and give to the rich, and strangle innovation and culture in the process.
But I guess it's easier to attack closed banks than yelling "Bloody Thieves!" to Metallica when they are on stage. Chickens!
I just saw the last episode of Battlestar Galactica (There shouldn't be any spoilers here, but stop reading if you're übersensitive!).
I saw the behind the scenes movie where they promised that we should be so surprise, so I was kind of expecting a lot of twists. But the only thing that really surprised me was that it was so boring. They tried too hard to make it a grand finale, but it it just become a long long funeral. The fighting scenes were too long, the flash-back scenes were too long, the emotional scenes were too long... It was too long!
Some surprises here and there though. But not as totally shocking end as I would have made. And some things just didn't make sense.
Well, now it's over. I'll miss #6, but not so much the rest.
Australians saved for now:

IiNet Pulls Out of Australian Censorship Trial
(IiNet is Australia's third-largest ISP)
Stephen Conroy is still alive though, so Internet access is still far from safe in Australia.
For more sad news: Obama is helping RIAA destroy the economy, destroy innocent people's lives and enrich the lawyers:
http://slashdo
And this he can't blame on Bush. Bush even prepared some nice resort camps where Obama could send the RIAA-people...
I watched Obama on Jay Leno this morning, and he's giving all the right answers to everything. But he isn't asked why the shrinking US-economy should keep enforcing intellectual monopoly laws that only benefit a few people and a huge number of lawyers. If you didn't have to pay for (even indirectly by higher prices) lawyers, you could easily afford new houses and cars without borrowing over 13% of GNP.

So far, Elftown isn't on Australia's black-list:
elftown.eu/stu
But there is a lot of other legal sites there that are. By the way: Linking to that blacklist if enough reason to get blocked. What should happed is that the evil people behind this regulation should be put behind bars for destroying free speech. But that will not happen until we make them block every site out there so that their voters start to see what they really are.

Best ever!
I was watching the Swedish final for the Eurovision Song Contest. It was so and so, but this, which unfortunately wasn't a contest entry, was great:

Fantasy Art vs Lolcats

Lolcats is apparently beating the crap out of fantasy art.

Feeling a little better today.
Unfortunately I woke up at 05:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I guess it's time for breakfast and then a nap instead.

Blärgh!
I suddenly got sick before going to bed last night. Now I've slept all day, but I'm still not feeling well. It feels like a desert with a sandstorm in my throat. I guess I'm OK otherwise so it isn't that bad. But it's highly annoying.
It's amazing to see how right-down stupid publishers are about file-sharing. It's time for them to realize that they sell books, not a story.
Anyhow, a fantasy and science fiction publisher got it right:

I hope that this stops being science fiction and more publishers start to get this. So far it seems like Baen is doing quite well so let's hope the money starts talking the language of freedom like it eventually does despite constant local setbacks.
This is so me!
But then I don't see why I should pay for music when active artists want to give it away for free to make me come to their concerts. And non-active ones I don't give a shit about and I'm more leaning towards paying to make anti-cultural anti-democrati
