[Hedda]'s diary
And now [Elftron] knows what to wish for as a Christmas-present
Fusion has demonstrated a solid state drive/drive-co
http://www.tgd
At first, hopefully already in December, only 80 GByte, but Elftown's databases are right now 51 GByte so that's enough for 2008, I think (and some databases can be stored on a normal disk).
It will cost about $30 per GByte, which might seem cheap, but as the alternative is RAM, which costs $150 per GByte and there is simply no way to get 80 GBytes of RAM in a single server.
$2400 might seem a lot, but it's nothing compared to a serverfarm.
The thing this would mean for Elftown is that there would be no more "hangs" when Elftown is searching through someone's old messages. And it would of course be able to serve many more people.
Blärgh
Much worse now. And yesterday I suddenly got a headache from hell.
It's getting better when I rest and sleep though. But it's not helping that Lilo is horny and noisy.
Sick
I'm a little sick now, and will take it a little easy. It's really nothing bad, so hopefully the sickness will just forget about me tomorrow. But combined with Monday, it's pretty bad...
Speech about Elftown
I held a speech about Elftown for Lysator's new members last Tuesday. It's of course in Swedish, and there are so far no subtitles, but if you understand Swedish or just want to hear it anyway:
<URL:stuff/
(It's really not much to see; I'm only speaking.)
Scheduled power failure...
Yepp, today it was time for yet another scheduled power failure! Luckily this time, I didn't have time to inform the ELftowners before it was canceled...
We having about one of these non existing power failures every week now...
But on Sunday! Then there will be a power failure and Elftown will be closed down... So they say...
Sick Hedda
Bläh! I got sick last night and it's not getter better today, but definitely different. I hope I'm OK tomorrow, but it's impossible to tell. I got irritations in my throat last evening, pain in my throat during the night, but this afternoon that is gone and I'm just feeling sick. 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

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.

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.

Gah! No! Maybe bit a little, but never chew.

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.

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.

I've tasted a bit of it. Never again, unless I really have to.

What is that?
19.Can you sing the alphabet backwards?
I can hardly remember the order of the letters in any direction.

I think that's plan A, but I'm having plan B and C too.

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.

It's a collegue to that fucktard that ties up all the cords.

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.

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.

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?
