Jolly Roger forever!
Let's just adapt it to the current times!

This song was however made before the Swedes came down there to blast the crap out of them, so I guess it's just another pirate age going down the drain.

Anyone playing the stupid Robin Hood game on Facebook?
Join me then: http://apps.fa
Pretty smart idea with a game that demands that you fish for other players...
I don't really get the point of the game though. One just improves, levels, buys more stuff and on and on...
About the heavy metal scene in the Middle East:

Texted and narrated in Swedish, but the deep interviews that is the most part are in English.
Now I'm on my way to vote in the EU-election and then on a robot lecture with http://www.ald
Whoho! It's the towel day! Don't forget your towel today!
Of course it has to do with Douglas Adams.
Still network problems...
For some reason Elftown is not accessible from the outside (even though its network work fine locally) now and then. A restart of the network solves that though. I had a script that would do that automatically, but it wasn't working. I found the error, fixed it and now it seems to work, so if Elftown is disconnected again, it should be reconnected in 30-90 seconds again.
I have no clue about why this happens. Might be a problem in the router, at the ISP or something else that get triggered when there is a lot of traffic.

Poor Latvia got no coast! I don't get why Sweden isn't a kingdom though...

The cats are fucking.
So... SOF2009 is finally over! I'm still tired though, and I might have come up with a flue. It feels OK right now though, but it was bad 1-2 hours ago. I didn't get lucky, but I guess I was pretty lucky compared to many others. My foot was broken in the beginning of the 4-day party, but now it's better after 4 days of heavy walking... A friend jumped from a stage and broke his foot on the other hand. And while I lost and got my mobile phone back, another friend lost his wallet. And another got robbed of a bottle of vodka and a student pub was hit by a burglar.
I had some nightmares about Elftown crashing this morning, but instead Elftown is having damn network problems and I have no idea why. I've put in yet another automatic network restart feature (there was already one, but it worked differently). I'm somewhat suspecting that my router is bad. I'll see if I can reroute the cables a little. Prepare for some 5-10 seconds downtime later today! 
Apart from that, Lilo has also been partying the last days together with a very nice tomcat. I think they have argued about one time or so (not that I have been at home...) and that was quite gentle. Quite different from how it is with Sonic or Kali.

From children, alcoholic and idiots you hear the truth
I've just watched the movie "The Obama Deception" (You can find it on for example www.mininova.o
To sum it up on the positive side:
1) FED is a problem as it's creating a bubble economy and they are stealing money from the ones using the dollar. EU's bank ECB is handing out its profits to the countries, which the movie totally fail to relate to.
2) Obama has lied his ass of and continue to do so. This is something that especially left wing politicians are allowed to do it seems. Why? People generally mistrust right-wing people more, so they have a harder time getting away with lies (not that they don't try...).
3) It should be quite clear that borrowing money isn't the way to make the economy grow. To grow the economy, you need to invest, invent and increase trade. Patents-monopo
4) They really try to reach out for everyone, even though they truly suck at it. But all they can do is point out errors (actually many more than there are...) and they don't have an alternative. People who are opposed are just pawns who someone smart will use. Someone smart who is for something.
But on the negative side:
1) There is a total moron who apparently believe in the bible and he says that we shouldn't be so easily fooled! And then they another guy goes on and says that you have to be American, otherwise you can't make things happen, and if he would have been Italian he would have been suppressed by the local culture and not able to understand free speech. Seriously: You are a fucking ignorant asshole American village idiot!
2) Apparently they say that the (Anglo-American) world is run by Wall Street bankers. They throw out bullshit like that globalization is something that only is good for these bankers while it's a threat to "the workers of America". The makers of the movie clearly show why they can't make any money on the insights they have as they understand nothing about internationali
3) Apparently taxes on carbon dioxide is really really going to end free life for every American and the entire green house effect is a scam. That's bullshit of the scale. Historical temperatures have very little to do with the theories about global warming, and it's quite clear if you check the numbers on how much carbon dioxide we put out in the atmosphere that something quite drastic will happen. And really: This sure as hell doesn't mean that the poor countries have to live in poverty - Taking care of the environment is what you have to do to make the economy flourish and they are not opposites even though environment investments are just that - investments.
4) They did mention the control of the Internet a little. But there are way more bad stuff going on there in the try to stop free flowing of information for all kinds of reason.
5) And what about the churches? These coward, weapon-loving, god-fearing, xenophobic, anti-intellect
6) There is of course not one true power behind everything. The makers of the movie find some bad stuff and then try to imagine that someones are in control even though there are thousands of powers competing and not even the gang they are pointing out is competing between themselves.

I'm finally done with my taxes! Many minutes (11!) before they had to be in to avoid penalty!
Now I should fix some things here and there (some badges and contest-fixing) and then start thinking about what more to improve on Elftown. I have a huge list... I think that wiki-page fans is the most interesting thing so I think I'll start with that. Otherwise there are a lot of small fixes. And a huge amount of Javascript to write to make images appear more nicely with tagging, comments and stuff.

Blärgh! Bleeding from my nose. And I have loads of work to do with the taxes today and tomorrow. And I fail to get started.

Here on Elftown we generally don't allow parties or groups to have accounts as it's unpractical. But if there is a good reason to do it, like for example to use the sitebuild-feat
Valborg, done, tired. Sleep!
Level 5 and counting...
The new plague (known as the Swine influenza, but it has nothing to do with pigs, so it's a really stupid name) is now declared a level 5 plague by the WHO. In plain English that means deep shit problem!
The questions now are how many of the ones infected will die and how many will be infected before a vaccine exists (which is said to take 3 months unless someone finds a way to speed it up). To the later, the prospect isn't looking well. New York is already infected and from there the plague is probably on its way to hundreds of other places already.
I should probably go and buy one of these masks before the panic comes here.
