Gnnn... Another Ad Network had to be removed from Elftown due to its crappiness. The Kontera mouse-over a word ads was in conflict with the Project Wonderful ads. I basically only have the Project Wonderful Ads to be visible among other webmasters and to get a few very good and cheap ad-spots on a handful other sites. But the Kontera ads crashed an old version of Opera. Not good! Even though it's Opera's fault. (I didn't bother to check if it works in later Operas).

Advertisers should by my ads from http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=349698 instead! ;) They are very nice.

An interesting analysis of the first message you send to someone. Even though Elftown isn't a dating site, the rules are really worth thinking of here too:

LotOfExercise: Being in the sun, biking a lot, swimming way too much and getting a sunburn that
looks like something Lilo puked up... I'm so done. In at least two ways.

But I'm apparently not the worst. Two possibly Pakistani guy in traditional Muslim clothes where lying almost passed out at the parking lot (This is the first day of Ramadan) when I was on the way home from a suddenly too cold BBQ.

And that was flash number 4711... One of them really hit the building next to us. I've never seen so many thunder-strikes here even thought the thunderstorm isn't that bad. It's just that the lightning keeps hitting here!

Luckily there is no problem for the power supply. Elftown is on an UPS, but not even the normal power has any problem. It's probably because it's so wet everywhere here that none of the lightning blots hit anything else than a lot of very wet ground.

As if I didn't have a long enough list of stuff that I want to implement on Elftown, I'm now checking out Google+.

Well, the good news is that I found nothing useful there. I know it's just a pre-alpha or something, but shouldn't there be something useful? I can put friends in different "circles", but that is like creating a wiki-page or forum on Elftown, but more useless. And the photo-upload on + is one of the most useless I've seen, even though the Android app for direct upload of photos seems nice.

An mobile phone app that uploaded an image to Elftown would be also be very cool. I'm not an Android developer though.

Nice! I got a fine sponsored link on Mainstreet (middle right). This simple text-link actually pays more than the annoying crap that was there before.

I guess the advertiser really like the Google Pagerank points from being linked from here. And it's damn much better than those damn virus-ads, of course... And it points to a nice serious blog.

Worked 10 hours in a nightclub tonight. Fun, but exhausting. Now a lot of bed!

Bläh! I might have to move. Most of the floor needs to be replaced here. If I have to move, Elftown needs to be moved too, which will be a problem.

In best case, I can just move stuff out for a while. But I don't have space anywhere to store all my stuff.

Taxes done! One problem solved. 4711 to go.

I really doubt that I got it right though. Most of it it just saying "OK, that's right". But for the sales-taxes (moms) they have managed to make a form that is totally confusing. For example if you have bought things in Sweden, you should not put that amount after "Things bought in Sweden:" (Because that section is about rare tax-free stuff bought in Sweden). And then you should sometimes write the cost before taxes and sometime the tax itself. Depending. And it isn't explained well at all, and if you misread a word, you'll get everything wrong.

I corrected it about 17 times. That it was correct the 17th time seems unlikely, but I didn't think of any more way I could have misunderstood it.

On the good side, there was no interesting news today that distracted me. One would think that reporting that bin Laden is dead would take about 1 minute, but apparently it takes about 48 hours or more. And before this we had two people without significant power having a wedding and a dead pope that is now a little bit more holy. Yes, and a damn birth certificate. OK, for example Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria aren't big important countries, but what happens there and what we learn from it will affect everyone in the world in the not so long run.

Not to mention how we should stop companies to get into bed with our governments to make unjust profits and stop progress. Or how we generally should make things work a little better.

Swedes... Only in Sweden a pub can decide to arrange a Saint Patrick's Day on the 25th!

So happy way too early local SPD! <img:44166_1164144892.gif>

And the prize to the best High Fantasy Horror Storyteller goes to: Gaddafi!

He's speaking just now. Apparently he hasn't been in charge for a long time, but just being something like that queen of England. And all the thugs he have sent out on the streets are not his fault. And all the kids are drugged and where are all the wise men to control them. Well, except all the people and "wise" men who are planning to overthrow him, of course. Like most of his own military and administration.

And he blamed Al Qaida like Dick Cheney on drugs. Seriously: 99% of Al Qaida is definitely high fantasy invented by governments, military and other people who want something simple, unknown and scary to blame to get more funding or support.

Feeling much better now. Coughing really badly sometimes and get a headache out of it, but very seldom now. I guess the sickness will be back later on, but for now, I feel fine.
