There is something infinitely charming about small local newspapers. Todays front side headline reads something like:
Something good might happen in Nowhereville soon.
It brings you down to earth and reminds you that life is, for the most part, just as boring as yours is right now. Somehow reassuring, and a bit of a universal ego-boost. Somewhere in the world there is always someone who will be impressed by your achievements.
While riding the train towards my ancient home I looked at my jacket sleeve and for the first time reflected over the words that were printed there "exodus 5,000" O.o What an odd thing to put on a winter jacket, I thought. I instantly texted several of my friends, who helpfully commented that "at least it's not a bible verse" and "it is obviously an encouragement to emigrate to warmer lands". The brand of the jacket in question is McKINLEY, named after the highest mountain in north america and they also use the outline of the mountain as their logo. Apart from being the highest mountain in north america, it is also famous for its extremely cold weather, even by Alaskan standards. The natives aptly named the mountain Denali (the big one) but some dude renamed it Mount McKinley in support of a US President candidate...
Obviously nothing of this tells me anything about why they decided to reference biblical history. Considering the current weather, -20° and 80% humidity (a.i. Cold as Hell), I am inclined to agree with Rik's interpretation: "If you have to wear this to go outside it is too damn cold and you should emigrate to someplace warmer."

A Terrible Prospect
I am walking along the highway from the neighboring city towards my hometown, a good 20 kilometer walk. But I don't mind the walk - I have the company of Jax, a dog belonging to friends of the family. I find myself wondering why I am walking on the highway, rather than the much less annoying and much more safe old railway that has been converted into a paved bike road.
I come to a place where there is a deep ravine down to a small stream that passes under the road, right outside the huge-ass fence that has been put there to protect the cars from driving into the ravine, should they loose control of their cars. For some reason, I have let Jax off the leash. A highly questionable decision, as I am walking on a highway. He is also a hunting dog, making it even more likely that he'll run into the road on a whim. But what happens instead is that he is running towards the ravine. Terrified that he will run into it I scream at him to stop - a fateful error. His reaction to my commanding scream is to throw himself at the ground, right at the edge of the ravine, causing him to loose his footing and fall down. I hear him howl briefly and then a loud thud, as he hits a rock. I run up to the edge and see him lying half-submerged in the stream at the bottom, legs and head in an odd angle. He is dead.
At this point, a fire suddenly erupts among the houses on the other side of the road. I pay little attention to this, despite several fire trucks, police cars and ambulances rapidly showing up. The fire is burning fast and hot, and they have to stop the passing traffic to make room for the rescue vehicles. People from the houses run over to my side of the road, paying little attention to me and my despair. Understandable, since some of their friends seem to have been caught inside a burning house. Firemen are fighting to find a way to get them out before it's too late.
I pay little attention to this. I am busy screaming and crying in agony; what have I done! How could I have let this happen! Clearly, it is my fault that poor little Jax is dead, I made so many questionable decisions, putting him in a dangerous situation and ultimately ending up dead. What are his owners going to say? What is my family going to say!? Everyone loves this dog, everyone will hate me - I hate me!
While I am busy crying and panicking about Jax, the fire burns out. The policemen go away and the crowd disperses. A young man covered in soot is walking towards me, crying. I have now finally managed to gather up the courage to call the owners and tell them what has happened. I pick up my phone and start looking to open the phone book when the man starts talking.
"Isn't it just great that your phone is working? Isn't it just great that you will be able to make a phone call?"
I realize that he thinks that I am going to call a newspaper or program, and tell them of what has transpired on the other side, and perhaps even send pictures.
"Isn't IT JUST GREAT THAT YOU STILL HAVE YOUR PHONE WHILE I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING!?"
He is holding a knife. I am holding an empty leash.
I am overwhelmed with terror, and start moving away from him. I try to ask for mercy.
"Will you please knock me out first? Please hit me in the head first!" I scream at him.
I have already accepted my fate. I deserve to die. I want to die. Dying will be so much easier than facing the anger, the disappointment, the blame of everyone I know and love, for what has happened to Jax. But I do not want to feel all that pain. The thought of what it will feel like as he jabs the knife into my body over and over again is terrifying.
I start running in the middle of the road, towards my hometown.
He tosses the knife after me.

Wedding Song
In Thundermar the tales proclaimed
Of a beauty destined for fame
Soft emerald green eyes framed a countenance wise
The people cried “Fanny”, her name.
Ol’ Firebeard he made her his quest
On one knee his love he professed:
“Oh Fanny me Fanny, do marry me can ye?
I love ya and I loves yer chest.”
Now let cheering dispel the twilight
And let the Wildhammers unite!
They’re short an’ they’re stout, but no man can doubt:
Firebeard and his Fanny are tight.

Movie review: 2012
Allow me to quote TV Tropes
"Did we mention this movie is by the same guy who did Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow? There's probably a pattern here."
"You Fail Physics Forever / You Fail Geology Forever"
"The disturbing fact of the plot of this movie is that the title could have been 'Oh thank God we weren't standing there five seconds ago' with no change."
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Half-Life Challenge Accepted
Half my life ago, I was 11 years and 55 days old, and just about to finish 4th grade. My school had decided that 28 kids were too many to have in the same class, so we were being merged with the '89's and split evenly into three classes. Our class was a mess of social intrigue and I was the odd one out for being, I kid you not, the ONLY girl (out of 14) who was doing sports.
This was about the same time that all boys all of a sudden decided that they could not be friends with a girl and all of a sudden I was left with a bunch of spice-girls imitating bitches (I wasn't much better). Half my life ago I found out that my teacher was pregnant, and thus the only good part about my new class (that I would get to keep our teacher from 4th grade) wouldn't last more than a couple of months.
Half my life ago pretty much the only good part of my life was that I was good at orienteering. Now I have friends, but I have lost that one thing that kept me going throughout primary school.

Piratpartiet + The Pirate Bay = sant
Today the Pirate Bay moved its homepage and search engine to the Swedish Pirate Party's servers. This is nothing less than a stroke of genius! Name the court that will support the motion to shut down the Internet access of a political party.

Sudo (make me a sandwitch)
Feeling adventurous (a desire to mess with computers) I decided that now that my spiritual well being is no longer dependent upon my laptop, I could use it for dangerous experiments like dual OS - in short I decided to install Ubuntu, while keeping Win 7.
Unfortunately Ubuntu 10.04 turned out to be less cooperative. In fact, it would not start at all. First I tried with a standard downloaded live-CD. It would not boot properly. I would see a small icon (which I later found out is supposed to be a keyboard) and then only a blank screen. (Back-lighted black is by far a more depressing sight than any concrete wall)
Since I had nothing better to use my pile of CD-R's for I reinstalled it, now at minimum speed - same result. Then I looked around a bit to find an alternative, more traditional installation CD image that could only install the operative system. The installation went fine, but was less successful. At startup I got the same blank screen and it also turned out that I had managed to corrupt my Win 7 beyond saving.
I then proceeded to reinstall Win 7 and ignore my laptop, which had by then fallen out of my good graces. But I felt I had not yet exhausted all possibilities, and Ubuntu was calling for me to give it another chance. So I did.
I installed Ubuntu as a program in windows (a light version that can be given no more than 30 GB of hard drive space), but all I got was the same blank screen. Determined to see this through to the end I downloaded the netbook edition and set up my spare USB-stick with a boot section.
This time I actually got to see a menu, where I could choose to run Ubuntu from the USB-stick or install it. Feeling in no way inclined to mess up my newly reinstalled Win 7 for nothing, I tried the launch option... And got the same old blank screen (which was by now becoming as familiar to my eyes as my desktop background).
It was not until now that I finally resorted to attempt the Google solution. As I should have known from the start, this provided an instant solution to my problem. It turns out that the Ubuntu people have failed at one crucial point; making Ubuntu load a generic driver for old graphics cards for which no driver is included!
When booting from the CD I had to press a key, any key, when that little symbol appeared in the bottom of my screen. Then press F6 and pick the option 'nomodeset'. Then boot. It worked. Seeing that my laptop was indeed capable of running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I decided to install it.
But in order to boot the OS I had to edit the grub options from the boot menu. The task comprised of simply replacing the words 'quiet' and 'splash' with 'nomodeset' and then booting. The only thing that remained now was to permanently edit the grub settings...
I now encountered my last obstacle. Where to find the Ubuntu equivalent of the command prompt? No guide included this vital (for a n00b like myself) information! Youtube, however, seems to contain the most "for dummies" guides in the world, and here I could finally find out how to open the 'terminal'. Then, for the first time in my life I got to type the words 'sudo' and 'gedit'. The satisfaction I felt when I saved and updated the grub and rebooted to find that it was working was enormous (as is evident from this overly lengthy blog-post about me being a stubborn idiot and refusing to google my problem)!
Ps. Unlike any version of windows I have yet encountered, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS actually included working drivers for my built-in GSM modem Ds.

View
Sitting here in the living room I can look out the window at all the people passing by. Many of them are walking their dogs. There are also many cats. The day before yesterday I saw a guy on jumping stilts. That was cool.
Yesterday I saw a guy in a red T-shirt digging in the lawn, near some small trees. I didn't think much of it at the time, figuring he was planting something. Today, however, there are a bunch of people digging in the lawn. I don't know what they are up to. From here it looks like they are digging trenches, preparing for warfare against one of the apartment houses. Who are they? Why are they digging? What are they digging?
I simply do not know.

Virus protection
I've already told some of you about this, but I'm gonna go ahead and repeat myself.
6 am PT on April 21st (this Wednesday) McAfee released an update for their virus protection program, directed primarily at their business clients.
Soon thereafter computers running Windows XP Service Pack 3 started crashing or constantly rebooting. The reason - McAfee had gotten the idea that svchost.exe was a virus. (svchost.exe is a vital process in XP, accounting for much of the processor/memory usage)
According to BBC Intel was basically shut down. CNN reports that ALL of Intel's computers in the US run McAfee.
In Sweden Telia lost about 15.000 computers, and ABB have been affected. Systembolaget had to close 27 stores and many communes were affected. According to a technician at the University of Michigan some 800.000 computers worldwide were rendered useless. If that is true McAfee must truly have a whole lot of customers, since they stated that "We believe that this incident has impacted less than one half of one percent of our enterprise accounts globally".
Today I received this mail:

"Halva Telia utslaget. 27 systembolag stängda. Stora problem på ABB, Svenskt Näringsliv och i flera kommuner. Allt resultatet av en dundertabbe när McAfee skickade ut en felaktig uppdatering av sitt virusskydd. Rapporterna om utslagna datorer rasade in efter att uppdateringen skickats ut under onsdagen. Enligt tekniker på University of Michigan drabbades 800 000 datorer globalt." (artikel ur IDG.se, idag den 22 april).

Var ska vi sova i natt?
Ok, here's the thing. Somehow I have ended up with the most horrible dance version (with electronic voice) of this song. That version I linked you is however (if possible) even worse. Luckily there is another one.
I find it quite good, despite the dialect. However, it turns out it exists in Danish as well. (Try to ignore the dancing girls.) There is way more than one version in Danish too. Now, I started wondering which version came first. The lyrics are the same in Danish and Swedish, but whoever wrote it I do not know. As is often the case with Swedish Wikipedia it let me down.
A clue, however, could be found on YouTube. Turns out the original is actually Italian (!) This is the absolute original version of the song. The group, as it turns out, is the most famous pop group in the Latin world. So much so, that they even recorded this song in Spanish too. What little Spanish I do know tells me that the lyrics have a SLIGHTLY different meaning in the Scandinavian versions ;P
Oh, btw, on Så ska det låta they made Måns Zelmerlöw sing it...

Invitation
I'm taking a chance here and will presume that within 5 days all whom are concerned will have read this.
Next Friday or Saturday (9th or 10th) you are invited over to me and the Iceye for Barbecue and SingStar. I intend to get very drunk, and anyone interested is free to join me in that endeavor. (Nallenon, if I buy Baileys, will you bring whiskey for some really awesome coffee drinks?)
Ps. The grilling will be done in oven, so weather is irrelevant. Ds.

Birthdays
Today I celebrated my birthday. It is not actually my birthday, but since people are free it fitted well. After I turned 18 it's become very anticlimactic. I got up early, because once again I could not sleep, and finished the cake. Then I sat around waiting for people to show up, which they did around 2 pm.
Ever since I got home I have been in a weird sleeping pattern, sleeping way too long one day and consequently going to bed very late... Only to wake up ridiculously early the next day, like 6:30 early! And not being able to fall asleep again! So I get up, walking around half-tired all day and going to bed before midnight, waking up at 7-8 am, only to fall asleep again and wake up around 13-15!
Anyway, birthdays; they are boring. Right now it feels like the only point of having people over is so that I could show them my home... which I obviously can't, since it's in Uppsala. It would be so nice to have some people come over so that I could serve them coffee in my awesome cups, and bake a cake and put it in my cake-box thingy (real Tupperware :P). Yeah, that would be nice. Maybe I'll do that with you guys, not that you drink coffee, but still.
There was something more I wanted to say, but I've lost it. I'll probably remember it soon and write another post. See ya!
Ps. please DON'T get any birthday presents for me (not that I assume you plan to), 'cause I really can't afford getting any for you :(

Update
Oh, forgot to tell some of you; I've got a new computer now! :D
I canceled the order from the slowcats and bought one from Komplett. It was a quite interesting (read SCARY) experience to put it together.
It is kinda cheap-o, but it can play ALL games out there, and there are a lot of possible upgrades for times when I'm bathing in money.
Sadly, Modern Warfare 2 is out of stock, ETA to the store on the 10th, so I might get it before Friday whoooo!!!

Bah.
Roommate got her new PC and an "immersive" RPG.
Now she's sitting with her headphones on and is completely lost to the world. Also she gave me a cold.
