Tidbits from Lauttasaari

Oh my, i thought i had seen it all. Not so. They fucked on stage to save the environment, and they do it online for the same reason. These guys fuck for forest ...

I am back. The birds are chirping outside my window, Sara Lidman has died some time ago, sweden is being drowned in rain, snow and ice in Germany. Ok, so others have a worse summer than we this year, but really, this much rain? Yeesh. And not even a proper net connection here on our little island. Yes, we have conducted our yearly migration to summer camp, where the sea is near, food is often grilled over open fire and we regrade to more primitive primates. Lovely. And the reading is good too. I have been laughing my head off reading Neal Stephenson, first off was Quicksilver, now Confusion is almost finished. Do yourself a favour, pick it up!

Here i am, where are you?

I went swimming yesterday evening for the first time in almost a year. I had a headache, i was tired, but i dragged myself there nonetheless. Iw as rewarded, it felt really good, and even though i am sore today i am really happy i went, i will go again. It seems to be a question of allowing oneself to actually go, and then flow with it.

Hm, maybe this is what i have been looking for. Anyone has any experience of using phpBB.com :: Creating Communities ?

time passes on, and it is quite nice. Some people are angry at blogging since it messes with their serarch results. Others call all bloggers moreon without anything to say. One reaction to that was a discussion on the nature of blogs, whether they should be seen as online commentary of daily events, or as diaries. I think they are a bit of both, and mostly written for the hell of it, not caring about the over priced preciousness of so called seriour discourse. It is real nice to let your hair down once in a while, and mostly for yourself, as most input makes little or no sence in this respect to outsiders. That's okay too, it is a part of that freedom. Silly, yes, but so what?

now the web cam images are much better. blissed technology.

Phew, really biting today, down to minus 15, and talk about windy...

Yes! Now i got the web cam to really work like i want it to. Nice. Thank you!

The fwink program works very nice, uploading webcam images to my home page without a fuss. Only i don't like the quality too much. Well, it's freeware...

Argh, i can't seem t get my 4 port belkin router to work with a service on port 7070, no matter what i try. Angry feeling.

So, blogging needs persistency. It takes time to get into it, and then to develop it. Next step, get some readers/reactions. Yahoo, here we go!

Ah, the snow outside my window... It's really nice with a white winter. And now the ice track next to us works just beautifully.

yes, i checked, and thankfully Riverbend is still alive, I wish you a better 2004 than 2003 turned out to be...

Argh, my audio recording software does not hear the microphone. Distress. I can't record this commentary ti the short video report i just made. Pain. Stupid thing.

Aaah, work began again today. I feel really rested. Leo got his first issue of Bamse, a christmas present for a one year subscription. He jast sank right into it, and read the whole thing. Just like that. Amazing. Feel good. I hope you do too. Good night, dear diary.

Mental note to self, check this out: Asmahan, The Golden Voice - Songs

Playing with the ACID software is really fun, i made music in notime, and i am not very musical. problem is, i don't really know what to use it for, and besides, all the nice samples i used (borrowed from the net) are illegal to publish. sigh.

So, my cousin Petri went ahead and got married. Congratulations!

Ouch, i admit, i enjoy doing this. Another entry in the fotoblog saga completed.
