The cats are fucking.
So... SOF2009 is finally over! I'm still tired though, and I might have come up with a flue. It feels OK right now though, but it was bad 1-2 hours ago. I didn't get lucky, but I guess I was pretty lucky compared to many others. My foot was broken in the beginning of the 4-day party, but now it's better after 4 days of heavy walking... A friend jumped from a stage and broke his foot on the other hand. And while I lost and got my mobile phone back, another friend lost his wallet. And another got robbed of a bottle of vodka and a student pub was hit by a burglar.
I had some nightmares about Elftown crashing this morning, but instead Elftown is having damn network problems and I have no idea why. I've put in yet another automatic network restart feature (there was already one, but it worked differently). I'm somewhat suspecting that my router is bad. I'll see if I can reroute the cables a little. Prepare for some 5-10 seconds downtime later today! 
Apart from that, Lilo has also been partying the last days together with a very nice tomcat. I think they have argued about one time or so (not that I have been at home...) and that was quite gentle. Quite different from how it is with Sonic or Kali.

From children, alcoholic and idiots you hear the truth
I've just watched the movie "The Obama Deception" (You can find it on for example www.mininova.o
To sum it up on the positive side:
1) FED is a problem as it's creating a bubble economy and they are stealing money from the ones using the dollar. EU's bank ECB is handing out its profits to the countries, which the movie totally fail to relate to.
2) Obama has lied his ass of and continue to do so. This is something that especially left wing politicians are allowed to do it seems. Why? People generally mistrust right-wing people more, so they have a harder time getting away with lies (not that they don't try...).
3) It should be quite clear that borrowing money isn't the way to make the economy grow. To grow the economy, you need to invest, invent and increase trade. Patents-monopo
4) They really try to reach out for everyone, even though they truly suck at it. But all they can do is point out errors (actually many more than there are...) and they don't have an alternative. People who are opposed are just pawns who someone smart will use. Someone smart who is for something.
But on the negative side:
1) There is a total moron who apparently believe in the bible and he says that we shouldn't be so easily fooled! And then they another guy goes on and says that you have to be American, otherwise you can't make things happen, and if he would have been Italian he would have been suppressed by the local culture and not able to understand free speech. Seriously: You are a fucking ignorant asshole American village idiot!
2) Apparently they say that the (Anglo-American) world is run by Wall Street bankers. They throw out bullshit like that globalization is something that only is good for these bankers while it's a threat to "the workers of America". The makers of the movie clearly show why they can't make any money on the insights they have as they understand nothing about internationali
3) Apparently taxes on carbon dioxide is really really going to end free life for every American and the entire green house effect is a scam. That's bullshit of the scale. Historical temperatures have very little to do with the theories about global warming, and it's quite clear if you check the numbers on how much carbon dioxide we put out in the atmosphere that something quite drastic will happen. And really: This sure as hell doesn't mean that the poor countries have to live in poverty - Taking care of the environment is what you have to do to make the economy flourish and they are not opposites even though environment investments are just that - investments.
4) They did mention the control of the Internet a little. But there are way more bad stuff going on there in the try to stop free flowing of information for all kinds of reason.
5) And what about the churches? These coward, weapon-loving, god-fearing, xenophobic, anti-intellect
6) There is of course not one true power behind everything. The makers of the movie find some bad stuff and then try to imagine that someones are in control even though there are thousands of powers competing and not even the gang they are pointing out is competing between themselves.

I'm finally done with my taxes! Many minutes (11!) before they had to be in to avoid penalty!
Now I should fix some things here and there (some badges and contest-fixing) and then start thinking about what more to improve on Elftown. I have a huge list... I think that wiki-page fans is the most interesting thing so I think I'll start with that. Otherwise there are a lot of small fixes. And a huge amount of Javascript to write to make images appear more nicely with tagging, comments and stuff.

Blärgh! Bleeding from my nose. And I have loads of work to do with the taxes today and tomorrow. And I fail to get started.

Here on Elftown we generally don't allow parties or groups to have accounts as it's unpractical. But if there is a good reason to do it, like for example to use the sitebuild-feat
Valborg, done, tired. Sleep!
Level 5 and counting...
The new plague (known as the Swine influenza, but it has nothing to do with pigs, so it's a really stupid name) is now declared a level 5 plague by the WHO. In plain English that means deep shit problem!
The questions now are how many of the ones infected will die and how many will be infected before a vaccine exists (which is said to take 3 months unless someone finds a way to speed it up). To the later, the prospect isn't looking well. New York is already infected and from there the plague is probably on its way to hundreds of other places already.
I should probably go and buy one of these masks before the panic comes here.

Digging...
I dug through my diary today to see if I could find some old friend of mine or so. Found some, but people tend to be pretty far away, and I doubt they are so interested in reconnecting.
But somehow it feels important go go through the things that have happened and say hello to long forgotten friends. But it took some time.

Developing Battery Replacement Infrastructure For Electric Cars
<URL:http:/Pretty interesting article about how electric cars should be using batteries that can be swapped very quickly at the "gas"-station.
The main thing is that electricity is much cheaper than diesel even if you produce the electricity with solar-cells in Alaska (where they can get much cheaper hydro and wind power, but anyway).
Unfortunately Shai Agassi doesn't bring up the possibility of recharging the car while driving on the highway.

As you might have heard, the copy-monopolis
As a result the Swedish Pirate Party (Arrr!) has gotten more than 3000 new members today and it's up to 18727 members now, making it the fifth biggest party:
https://pirate
Good news for the party as there is an important election to the EU parliament this summer. The party usually get about 13 times more votes than it has members so this means that it will get 6-10% of the votes and enter the parliament. The pirates outside of Sweden and Somalia seem to be too badly organized to become a power factor just yet.
There are 18760 members now, by the way.
