More training

I have realized that I'm way too slow to run short sprint. And I have no endurance and my feet just can't stand long running. Another thing is that I'm pretty good with lactic acid.

So what's more logical than to see how long I can run in 44 seconds? With 2 years left to the olympic games, there is plenty of time to train on! ;)

So today I did my first testrun forever at such distance. It went pretty well. We'll see how much pain I'll have tomorrow...

By the way: In case you wonder about how <diary:694780> is going, it's going pretty well. I reached my goal to be somewhat well trained and now I'm only training to keep the shape.

Javascript!

I finally got Elftown infected with Javascript... Now it probably will explode browsers and such things.

It's used for editing wiki-pages. So when you press edit there, the raw for select which forum to connect to the wiki-page is only shown when the wiki-page is connected to a forum.

I know many more places this hiding could be nice to have also.

New diaries!

I thought I should take some time and write a diary-note on every community I'm involved in. They will all be different depending on the community.

So... Since I've moved my computer home, I'm been working on developing the sites and making things happen on them. It feels a little like not much happens, but Elfpack on the other hand has greatly increased income fram ads this month.

But that is compensated with me spending money on ads. That has really not worked out well. It costs too much and gives only very few, if any, new members. I has some good side-effects like making Elfpack more known and maybe if someone register, they also bring their friends. But so far I've seen nothing of that.

I've got some images of me on CPGD, Page 1.

Otherwise Linköping is quite dead now in the summer. And all my travelling plans are kind of gone. I also don't feel like being totally gone from work and my sites, so it's not that easy to get away.

My new fine Internet...

My new Internet was just working as a charm. Until this morning 07:19 Elftown time. There was a powerfailure or something that there here and it appearently killed my ISPs equipment.

Luckily I've just bought a UPS for Krill, so the computer is still up and running without problems - it just doesn't have any contact with the rest of the world.

Update on the servers

Good news is that Krill is home at me and the databases are being repaired now. Should be up in a couple of hours.

Elftown crashed today. 2 hours of message, wiki-pages and everything you've done during 09:00 and 11:00 is lost. I might rescue something important, but please don't message me otherwise!

And right now ewancient, Elftown's and Elfwood's image-server crashed. Something is not going well! Might be the heat, attacks to Linux-machines or something else.

Broken...

Krill is gone somehow. I don't know why and haven't been able to talk to anyone at Crystone in Norrköping (the neighbouring town to Linköping). They have been told to try to restart the computer, but I'm not sure if they are able to contact me, if they will and when they are trying to fix this. I haven't paid for weekend and night-support so they will only get there if they are there for some other reason.

So this means that www.elfpack.com www.cathug.com www.musmakers.com www.writersco.com www.linkmeet.com www.heddate.com and all my other sites are down, and I have no idea how serious it is. The server can be stolen as far as I know. Or it can just be a network-cable that has dropped out.

Not much

No, no party today. I decided that it wouldn't be that fun, and slept instead and after 17:00 it was kind of impossible to get in there, and it's just bad to go now as everyone is wasted there and it will be no fun.

And tomorrow I don't know what will happen.

Instead I've been down to LinCon (A game convent in Linköping) and put up some Elftown ads. And I'm fixing small things on the sites.

Weekend...

There are parties Friday, Saturday and Sunday now... So you might not see so much of me. At least not a fresh me.

But then there is just a huge long boring summer without anything... This town almost shuts down during the summer. At least everything fun.

Tax declaration done!

Finally! And a few hours before deadline!

Next year I'll do this in Mars or so... (Yea, right!)

Nothing new...

So I've been working on the sites during the spring. Have been pretty lazy lately, eventhough I've done some programming. It should have been more and I should have spent more time on keeping things active.

Right now I'm fighting with the book-keeping for my company. It's really little to do actually, but I have do decide how to work and that is some work. Things like getting a box to put all the papers in can take pretty long time, if you're lazy and unefficiant enough...

As for personal stuff: Not much at all. I miss Rasa's company (She lived here during April). She was mostly home and writing on her computer beside me, which was nice. Now when I'm alone, I can do more what I want to, but I don't actually do that much. Except a friend visiting for a weekend.

As for friends, I've started to collect addresses to people I know. I really learnt a lesson when I tried to get a DömD-team together and realized that I don't know how to contact most of the people I know in Linköping.

My plans for this summer are still not made. I have some ideas for both work and vacation, but I'll get back to that if something comes out of it.

And Lilo is doing just fine. She's a little bored sometimes though. But Sonic and Kali (on different times) have been visiting and eventhough there are some disagreements, she seems to like the unbordom.

Update from Moscow

So... I've just been to the Moscow suburbons all night and then searching for an Internet-cafe all day. At the hotel the Internet costed 10 rubels (0.30 euro) per minut (18 euro per hour). Here it costs 80 rubels per hour (2.4 euro per hour) and it's not a cheap place. Many bars and nightclubs here have prices that are worse than in Sweden.

As you can see on this typing, I'm very tired now.

Last night we were travelling with bus all night, as we will tonight. It's really not nice at all. But I slept a long time yesterday afternoon.

Saint Peterburg was nice, but I hadn't really went into the party-mood then. I just hange around and looked at stuff. It was somewhat fun to see the Ermitazh and the town, but I couldn't really enjoy the nightclubs.

I have of course taken a lot of photos, but I can't fin a USB-connection here.

My Russian has improved. But it's still very hard to find the right words in time and to hear what people are babbling. They really don't understand "Pomedlenno, poshalsta!"...

Otherwise... It's a pretty cool groop I'm travelling with, but I haven't really found anyone to hang with as usual.

Combo

My new room-mate Rasa is moving in right now. She will stay here during April. Hopefully I have to work some more and spend less time on boring parties... Except for the fact that I'm in Russia half of April, of course.

Photos!

This took some time, so I better share it with as many as possible:
http://www.linkmeet.com/_ryd_universitetet_hg_bastuviken

Upload a folder of images!

After loads of work and numberous of strange and annoying problems, I'm manage to set up a beta-test for a function that makes it possible to upload an entire photo-album in a few clicks. You upload a (ZIPed) folder and the server creates a wiki-page for you.

So far it's only available for testing at www.Linkmeet.com , but I'll start to test it on more sites soon. Elftown will be the last, but it will come here sooner or later, if it is working out fine. See http://www.linkmeet.com/news.html for more info.

I'm also planning to make a photo-uploading-site. It will basically be a very stripped Heddate-site where you only can upload photo-archives.

Nothing...

I got nothing done today for no reason at all. It's just one of those days. I cleaned up around the communities and answered some things and so on. Played with Lilo and made coffee...

I spent way too much time trying to sleep this morning. Spending time on trying to sleep is very useless! Well, unless you are a cat, of course.

Pick a flower in hell

Come with me! Follow me down to hell and pick a flower!
They are lovely there, even if they burn your hand.
But feeling pain is OK there, because it's hell - a wonderful place!

And don't you worry! It might leave a horrible scar, but the
medical care is free there. Maybe because the doctors don't
use anaesthetics. So come on! Pick a flower in hell!

There will be no worries! No kids to care about and your love will be
without problems, because the unwilling target for your love will be
right beside you and suffering eternal pain!

And there are wonderful beaches! With flames instead of palmtrees.
But if you don't like that, there is even a place cold as hell.
But no need to worry! You'll never freeze to death there!

They even have a fancy office. With people smiling and comfy chairs.
The boss will be horrible, but just drink your coffee.
Because you'll never get fired! Mouhahaha!

So come with me! Come down to hell and pick a flower!
They are lovely there, and they will not turn into love.
Feel the fire in this wonderful place - Welcome to hell!
