[Hedda]'s diary
Busy Hedda...
A lot of things has been up lately. Some private stuff, and a lot of partying and me being lazy too.
Well, I think the photos explain the party-part: www.linkmeet.c
Now I'm reading through old non-urgent messages, emails and such. Lots of them...

Eurovision party and so on
I was on and helped arrange a Eurovision party this Saturday. Some photos are on www.linkmeet.c
I was great fun! I have only one more thing to say:
Sieben Sieben Ai lyu lyu Sieben Sieben Ein Zwei! Sieben Sieben Ai lyu lyu Sieben Sieben Ein Zwei Drei... TANZEN!

Other than that, I've been very busy lately. A friend had some problems and there has generally been much to do. And I should really get started with my tax declaration...
This weekend there is the huge SOF party. I'll go on Thursday and Saturday only. More about that on www.sof2007.co

I came home tired and a little sick from Rome yesterday.
Here are some photos:

Rome
I'm going to Rome on Sunday morning, and I'll return back home on Wednesday. So there will be half a week without me. Enjoy!
Here is a great speech about how the world is statistically developing with health and economy. He's using a new tool to show what is happening:

Don't mind the horrible Swedish accent
He's quite funny. And it's interesting to see these data in a simple way.

Stupid copied crap from [Linderel]... I guess I have to do something like this sometimes.
70 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME:

No, I just hang around.
3. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR?
Living lonely.
4. AS A KID, WERE YOU A LEGO MANIAC?
I had WAY too little LEGO! I couldn't even live in the LEGO-houses I built. And mum didn't like the plan to build LEGO-train railways through the entire house... I guess I've answered the question.
5. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF "REALITY" TV?
Could have been fun if there would have been any fun people in them. But there aren't. I prefere watching history documentaries where there is a real reality.
6. DO YOU CHEW ON YOUR STRAWS?
Gah! No! Maybe bit a little, but never chew.
7. WERE YOU A CUTE BABY?
Of course!
8. IS THE SINGLE LIFE FOR YOU?
Not really. I'm not good at meeting and keeping good friends.
9. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KEYBOARD?
Right now it's black and white as it's covered with Lilo's hair. Under the hair, it's three kinds of boring grey.
10. DO YOU SING IN THE SHOWER?
Not so load because of the neighbours.
11. HAVE YOU EVER BUNGEE JUMPED?
No, it might break some veins in my brain, so I leave that for shorter people.
12. ANY SECRET TALENTS?
Are they secret if I write them here? I can bike on a one-wheeled bike.
13. WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL VACATION SPOT?
I don't want to tell you...
14. IS JAY LENO FUNNY?
Yes. He should take me and Lilo to his show and talk about cat-porn.
15. Have you eaten sushi?
I've tasted a bit of it. Never again, unless I really have to.
16. HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE "DONNIE DARKO"?
No, and I couldn't care less.
17. DO YOU GIVE A DARN ABOUT THE OZONE?
Yes, I'm having a printer that makes some, which is annoying.

What is that?
19.Can you sing the alphabet backwards?
I can hardly remember the order of the letters in any direction.
20. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE?
No, I have only been travel inside them. I don't remeber if I've walked on a wing in a museum or not.
23. WHAT'S YOUR STAND ON HUNTING?
Seems boring.
24. IS MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE?
I think that's plan A, but I'm having plan B and C too.
25. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
No.
26. WHAT ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO?
Nothing I know of. Sensitive to hops and my stomach can't take uncooked unions.
27. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID, "I LOVE YOU"?
In the romantic way, it was about 10 years ago. In the friendly way, I think it was some month ago to for example [Sunrose].
28. IS ELVIS STILL ALIVE?
I don't care.
29. DO YOU CRY AT WEDDINGS?
Sometimes on the edge of crying, but for a little different reason.
30. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?
Medium cooked with Swedish caviar with canned herring, is pretty good. But I'm not picky about it and can eat them in any way.
31. ARE BLONDES DUMB
That question is dumb.
32. WHERE DOES THE OTHER SOCK END UP?
It's a collegue to that fucktard that ties up all the cords.
33. WHAT TIME IS IT?
21:51 Swedish time. (UTC+1)
34. DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME?
If you don't know my nickname, you're way too stupid to be able to read this.
35. IS MCDONALD'S DISGUSTING?
The milkshakes, pies and the burgers without union are OK. The french fries and cola should not be legal to sell to people under 20 or on other days than Saturday.
36. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN A CAR?
Eh... 2006-12-28, that was 73 days ago.
37. DO YOU PREFER BATHS OR SHOWERS?
Baths.
38. IS SANTA CLAUS REAL?
It's a matter of definition.
39. DO YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR NECK KISSED?
Not something I think about, but I would like it if the right person does it.
40. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
Fear of the dark is an Iron Maiden song. I'm not really afraid of unreal stuff, but I can be pretty scared in a dark forest where you don't know what there can be in the shadows.
41. WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO?
Internet, coffee, alhohol, Lilo, crosswords and the weekly sauna. (No special order)

I don't know and I don't want to try.
44. HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN AN AMBULANCE?
No.
45. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH TODAY?
One, if you count 01 o'clock this morning as "today".
46. IS DRUG FREE THE WAY TO BE?
No, but you shouldn't use a drug unless you're sure the positive effects are bigger than the negative ones in the dosage you're using.
48. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES?
Eh... Bluish?
49. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
That's kind of private, and I try to forget about it, so I don't exactly remember when it was.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR LIFE?
Yes, but it's not that nice at the moment because it's boring.
51. WHO'S BETTER?
Many persons live better lives, but if I would live their life, I would change it so much that it's no longer their life. As shown in the documentary Buffy, it's not a great idea to steal someone else's life...
52. ARE YOU PSYCHIC?
I'm terribly sane.
54. DO YOU PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS?
Yes, but it sounds like noise.
55. HAVE YOU EVER STOLEN MONEY?
Not without a proper excuse, at least. I would never steal unless it's really much money or I'm starving, and I'll avooid doing it then too.
56. CAN YOU SNOWBOARD?
Probably. I can ski, so how hard can it be?
57. DO YOU LIKE CAMPING?
No.
58. DO YOU SNORT WHEN YOU LAUGH?
No.
59. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
Yes, but not in a supernatural way. We need magic for imagination, but it's just stupid too fool yourself beyond that point.
60. ARE DOGS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND?
I guess there is such a man. I mostly find dogs boring or annoying.
61. YOU BELIEVE IN DIVORCE?
Yes.
62. CAN YOU DO THE MOONWALK?
I could do it, I think. Not right now without training.
64. IS IT COLD OUTSIDE TODAY?
It's warm to be a Swedish winter.
65. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
A glass of milk and some bitter chocolate.
66. DO YOU WEAR NAILPOLISH?
Only a few times in my life.
67. DO YOU WEAR THONGS?
No, I don't think you can call them that.
68. WHAT'S THE MOST ANNOYING TV COMMERCIAL?
Internet is the shit. TV sucks!
69. DO YOU SHOP AT ABERCROMBIE?
The questionmaker is from USA and doesn't know that there is a world outside of it? So no, I've never seen what ever that is.
70. FAVORITE BAND AT THE MOMENT?
I don't know. The last thing I wanted to listen to was Hammerfall.
In case you haven't noticed: I've been extremely lazy lately. I've got almost nothing done. 
Now bedtime.
Look at earth from a satellite:
http://www.fou
Very cool!
In case you wonder why we're having a application system on Elftown...
Well, here is the reason. The application looked like:
Description:
my name is matthew im 14 nearly 15 i luv to drink wif my mates
y da fuk do u ave to fill dis up with 37 words fukin ell cunt wanker dick munchers kdsjdnsjc duncudsnf dunculhc dcu vm;v cv rvunf v8x rbuv dcvb v ruiv mdcnvudf v bvfnb vuixnbuv rfbv vubilj vusbv hfhv xfbvinfuv bhre uvfdj vixlbv j b uipfi vfnvnr vnfdv bdf;oi hbvtrb ;dfu bvxkc
And he got the answer "Please do your best to spell and capitalize correctly as this is your presentation, not a chat-message. (And so on)". So he tried to convince us why he's worthy with:
subject: RE: Not accepted to Elftown!
BUGER U DEN U ASS HOLE
As he put it so nicely I almost felt like I wanted to accept him, but we do have rules... Or I actually wanted to answer "HAHAHAHAHA!", but it's better that I ignore him and write this diary-note instead.

Tired Hedda today...
I'm doing my best to stay awake so that I can go to bed early tonight so I can get up before the construction workers start making noise here.
But what should I do while I'm too tired to actually do something else than babbling?
It's that kind of day...
I couldn't even decide if I should have coffee or tea now. But luckily, I accidentally started to make coffee, so I'll get something now.

Robot made houses
This is cool!
http://slashdo
And a video on http://www.you
Building a house quickly! I wonder how they are planning to use the reinforcing iron, but I guess that is solvable too.
Now all I need is a robot, a huge amount of building material and an area to build on, and I can start building a physical Elftown to complement Elftown :)
Some more Reference pictures
I took some photos for Hands photo reference and Foot photo reference today. I hope this will inspire more people to upload all sort of Reference pictures.
I hope be able to take some pictures tomorrow, but I'm not sure about that. Mostly I need sets of female hands and also some stuff I've forgotten. But as far as I know, this is already the best photo reference library on the Net.
If you're writing content for Elftown or elsewhere, I suggest that you take a look on SEO HOWTO.
In case you wonder why I have been a little absent the last days:

Something fun for you who like games like Monkey Island, Future World, and Lassie Suit Larry:
College Saga, part 1-4

Well, it's fun otherwise too. If you're bored enough to have patience to see all the horrible jokes everywhere.
Hand photo reference
I got annoyed about that people put up reference photos and then write "Forbidden to use!", "They are mine! Hands off!" and "I want to help humankind, but if I see that my pictures actually are for some use somewhere, my head will explode." on them, so I decided to make totally free hand photos. Enjoy my hand (and some shot on the left one too):

The sites
Elftown is running pretty nice now with [Sunrose], the entire crew and a huge number of active members who are creating fun. In December Elftown got about 1400 hits per day from people finding Elftown on search engines, and 50 of them became members (the ones searching for "elftown" are excluded from this). This is 33% more than November, and November was over 20% better than the month before. Hopefully this will lead to even more dedicated members and a feeling among the Elftowners that what you do actually reach the world. Horse photo reference is already on top of Google's searches for "horse photo", "horse photos" and "photo reference", and we're not even half done!
Elfpack has had a similar growth, but is 13 times smaller in the search engines, and people who end up on Elfpack mostly find something else than they were searching for. But it's getting better and there is good content on Elfpack too, if you remember that "good" isn't equal to "serious" and "boring"...
Fake is also doing fine and is growing steadily. Mostly catching up people who are too horny for Elfpack, I guess. I actually started to make a few bucks from it too, but it's still at least 10 times smaller than Elfpack in that respect as i can't show Google ads everywhere there.
As for the other sites, they are mostly hanging on. No big changes really. www.linkmeet.c
www.cathug.com is way too calm. It still gets new members, but there is really not that much action there, and I would love if someone or someones would like to drive it. Not that I would hand it over to anyone who says "Can I be the CatHug boss?", but please message me if you're interested and we'll see what happens. The site needs new ideas and even more someone who can make them come true. While still making it fun, of course.
[TheRogue] is starting up a community for SCA members. He would love some help, so if you're a SCA junkie, message him!
The other sites are www.musmakers.
