Today's news
Over one million people in USA have been infected with the A/H1N1 virus (Also known as the Mexican pig-party hangover). Totally word-wide 67 000 people (300 dead). If that doesn't add up for you, there might be a job for you at WHO.
Someones have eventually realized that you can make cars really light, cheap and modern:

I especially like the part where they explain that they'll save money on the crash tests, because the car simply doesn't get destroyed by them and one car can go through all the, usually destructive, tests and then be ready for sale.
Conan O'Brien is still not funny. Jon Stewart is.
Internet was hit by a DOS-attack. It started in a heart of an ex-pop-star, ex-black and now ex-person, but quickly spread over Internet and then an hour later over TV and similar 20th century media.

BREASTS!
We haz dhem!
To specify: In the south Swedish town Malmö, it's now OK to swim without anything on the upper body. Regardless of which gender you are.
The logical conclusion is that the breast dress-code has to be lifted, otherwise I'll be discriminating women/girls. And that girl-breasts can no longer (must not!) be considered "childporn".
This brings up some quite interesting conflicts with the American laws of "Boobies bad!"... I should sue Facebook, Google and all the rest of the bunch on behalf of the discriminated people of the world!

MySpace is dying
MySpace will kick 300 of its 450 employees. Looking at this graph, it's easy to see why:
http://trends.
MySpace has however been better than Facebook to make money.
The main thing, I think, is that:
1) People just want to be on one place. The biggest place.
2) People are kind of bored at meeting new people.
That said: I think there is still a place for communities like Elftown. The trick is to make it exciting to find new people. It has to feel new and fresh all the time. And one of the main features with Facebook is that you can't really find new friends there - just connect to the ones you already have. That's where Elftown comes in and sites like www.couchsurfi
A sober look at Iran:
http://www.str
Iran's problem isn't the election, but the strange of freedom of speech that the so called "Islamic" republic enforce. If the so-called Muslims in the guardian council could take some time of to read their book, they'll see that fighting freedom of speech is like spitting Mohamed in the face.
The second problem is the practice that the guardian council disallow democratic candidates. Cooperation with people of different views are cornerstone in the Koran. Which, apparently, the guardian council uses for toilet paper...
But even if these problems are resolved, Iran will have the same democratic problems as India: Poor people will be fooled to vote for politicians who appear to help them, even though they are mostly enriching themselves and/or create an inefficient society with powerless individuals where you have to apply to do anything.
And that problem can only be solved if the brightest people in the society get into politics.

Now wait for the evil forces of intellectual monopolies to fight for free speech and democracy... Don't hold your breath though!

Show him that you care! Throw out your TV-set on the street and watch everything via bittorrent instead! Remember that every time you buy a file, watch TV without totally avoiding the ads, buy a CD or DVD, a little bit more of Internet dies.

Crash again
This time for a totally unknown reason. And it seems like [Elftron] was disturbing out my network too while doing its guru meditation. It might just have been the network card running amok and then eventually crash the entire computer.
Basically nothing got lost in the crash. Maybe a few gb-messages or wiki-comments, but no postings for example. It was just between 09:57 and 10:22.
Sleepy...
Can't seem to get good sleep. Today nothing got done. We'll see what I can do this evening.
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.
