[Hedda]'s diary
To relate to the previous posting... I will not be able to sleep tonight either. Tomorrow a TV-team will come here and interview me about the Donald Duck loves CDs comic (Egmont).
I think I'll make a very nervous impression and I need to prepare what I really want to say and then a lot I can say just in case I get some time.
Not related, I'm getting a peer-student from Latvia. A guy called Вадим Кайриш. [Nita]: Wave goodbye to him! He's coming here on Saturday with his brother.
Neither related: My parents are coming here on Friday, so I'll try to entertain them, but I've said that I want 3-5 hours per day to be Internet:ed on, so they will try to do something else then.
I can't sleep!
And I'm too tired to stay awake... Grrr!
Vino de la Hedda
Wine done! 20 litres of party!

Bought a new bike today as you can see on my photos.
I also started to make wine. We'll see how that turns out. It should be done in a week. It cost about 20SEK/litre (=2.4USD), but then all the equipment was included. The actual wine is about half the price.
I'll try to make some beer and more fun stuff later on. I wanted to try out some wheat beer with Roman chocolate taste and some non-distilled vodka (sugar with yeast made to make quite pure alcohol up to 24%, but that might not be legal... I guess I should check that before I try it), but at least the first is kind of easy to fail with, so I start slow with the classic wine.
Then I have no idea what to do with all the wine... Well, that's another problem. It's still a cheap hobby.
I've been playing KhanWars for a while now, but I'll quit now. I've figured out how to build the perfect army, I'm ready to get my maximum 10 castles and spend time on fighting others. But it simply takes way more time than I have and it isn't that fun anymore.
I should make a funnier and more interesting strategic game. Something that one can play less than an hour per day and that is always evolving into new interesting patterns.
Well, well... I have stuff to do to Elftown first. And another totally mad project that probably never will happen, but it's worth spending some design time on, I think. It's a secret so far though.

This was a pretty fun and interesting speech about how to innovation:
http://www.you
It basically says:
1) You have to work hard.
2) You have to explore other possibilities and do things no one else does.
3) You will fail.
4) Some people will try to stop you because any innovation brings change.
5) If you don't allow your employees or children to do what they really want a part of their time, your business will not grow and they will be hurt in the process.

International Byhålenytt
A test to see how well I can run a daily or almost daily news site. I'll try to combine interesting facts, real news, irony and incompetence of local newspapers combined with international news.
I think the style will change after a while, and I'll try to keep it quite short, but released it as close to once per day as possible.

And when Krill was almost done with its repairs, it died again! Not so much problems, because it just could restart and then continue almost where it was in its repairs.
Then a few minutes later it seemed like the thunder had stopped and I started the sites. I was about to post some news about the crash, and while doing that, there was another power problem and Krill died again!
And this time I had to start all over with repairing all tables. I really really don't like MySQL-tables! Repairing indexes is no fun when it takes hours!
Damn! Krill died with Elfpack, Fake and the other sites!
But Elftown somehow survived thanks to it's great (and quite expensive) power-supply. But there are still heavy thunderstorms here and the damn shit doesn't seem to want to stop!
The UPS should be here in the afternoon... If these thunderstorms continue, I better turn Elftown off at once and connect it. But it takes 8 hours to charge the battery so I guess I'll just do that first as it isn't that much use without the battery loaded. Well... Maybe some use. The power-failures are mostly only half a second or so, which a pretty empty battery should be able to handle.
Start practicing and learn how to use your sonar!

Basically: Click with your tongue and listen to the difference in the sound depending on if there is an object in from of you.
I find it the hardest to make those damn sounds sound the same all the time.

As you might have noticed, [font] has changed the Writersco address to point at a new site. So to get to the old one, you have to use http://writers
I've cleaned out the Writersco council in a vorlon style and removed everyone I don't have a personal relation with. I get pretty pissed at news-writings like this:

(A note: I offered to share ad revenue, but there simply isn't any.)
I wish them good luck with their new site, but to be honest I think it has nothing to attract people with and so far they have been great at repelling people with fights.
