but aftonbladet.se and azureus are two surefire ways to bog it down.

open source, open sores.

on the other hand how hard can it be to make a logo with an arm held upright with an assault rifle in hand and topped off with some funky typography.

Yesterday my friend Maria was over for a cup o’ joe and we talked for near to an hour about how people treat her differently because she’s out of work due to physical ailments. she has to withstand criticism of being an unfit mother, how she shouldnt be able to take her own kid to the kindergarden because that’d mean she’s really able to work.
Maria has been working for as long as i’ve been. which is since our early teens, she’s never been one to complain, she doesnt really complain about her illnesses. what she often does complain about is how people treat her. and she isn’t one to talk openly about the illnesses.

She proceeds to tell me about how the Swedish office for public health is questioning her ability to be on sick leave and care for her son. why you ask? they consider walking her son to the daycare center makes her fit to work. she can barely lift a pan without sharp lances of pain striking her every nerve in her arm.
reumatism isnt fun. and being in her mid twenties and having it. makes it less fun. it does however not. make her a) and unfit mother or b) fit to work.

and from reading the newspaper editorials of late I can’t quite understand the darwinian ideology taking place inside a socialistic state. we thrive because we help eachother. we stop doing that and the rest of society suffers.

afterword. she wants to work, but has been unable to find a job that respects her illness. so anyone looking for a slow typist or a receptionist. email me. i’ll forward it to her.

Society and Cultural differences does not and should never exclude Civility.

I would never cut off my nose to spite my face. I’m not abandoning Microsoft (or Windows entirely, for that matter). I do feel, however, that Microsoft Windows has already abandoned me as a power user. If you’re content with Windows Vista, fine - but you’re doing yourself a tremendous disservice by dismissing Mac OS X because it doesn’t work the same way.

Chris Pirillo on computing, food for thought to say the least. he highlights the good and bad things about the diff. next generation platforms — not that vista or osx is particularily next generation since they’ve both been on the market for a period (osx 10.4 is current, 10.5 is however next up)

“Use Flash for interfaces to sites, for quick impact. Use Shockwave for more complex multimedia work, or for web applications that are beyond the browsers’ abilities.”

adobe kb article.

i’d like to generalise it down to: “here’s how we say something without really explaining anything”

bah.

me and Malin, graduation. awesome pic, however, i have no beard

and well, I did shave my head not too long afterwards. funny how losing a beard makes you look 10kg lighter — wishful thinking at best

single node only, multinode is slated for a later release so no big iron fawning just yet — sorry for the Laynia Petrovna title-bait

I roll each belt up and close the loop with with the end of whichever side of the belt is the loose end. — I prefer to roll the belt together by starting with the buckle facing inwards and going from there and then use the loose end to stick through the tiny slit of the belt-roll.

on the other hand, I only ever use one out of four belts at a time so it’s very neat.

But I feel uneasy when my spandex clad superheroes go ubermacho and slash-stereotypes on steroids with a knack for ultraviolence.

or when a cheesy brit gal adorning the union jack on her jacket, or say, a guy who’s been kidnapped by aliens errr.. make that abducted but anyway, and operated upon to have gymnastic soles for feet and travels through cities in a cocoon.

but after reading the “earth inferno” album about “The Authority” by Warren Ellis, I gotta ask myself, seriously Warren, cthulhu phallic fetishes from outer space? What the hell?!

so wanting this to show in Sweden or Europe for that matter probably is asking too much. but hey, whoever thought the mafiaa connected franchises were making decent business decisions, is sadly Wrong.

I’ve had a Shemagh in one form or another since highschool, they make for a warm winter here in Sweden as opposed to sub-arctic cold. and now. it’s become trendy since reactionary is cooler than conservative.

Thanks Hollywood, promote more idiots if you would, please, can’t wait for the next Paris Hilton movie. yeah, right. Seriously.

this all over a period of 73 years, or well. arguably 10 since Goran Persson made such a devious good job.

I mean, solidarity is all about buying a big mansion overlooking the landscape like the old patron villa in a cotton plant back in the 18th century. or say going to work for one of the largest lobbying firms in existance. but hey, that’s solidarity- now go look at those bad conservatives. boo raising the union tax, boo.

so what have the “right wing conservative alliance” made happen since coming to power?

oh let’s just stick with things that people would notice. like, raised salaries, exponential improvement in healthcare, tax reform underway (decrease, yay) and the regretable raising of the union taxes — imho, the swedish unions are good for one singular thing. marketing the social democrats to the masses.

so, who do the Swedish people still root for? The Social Democrats.

I swear, the conservative Alliance needs someone to copywrite and dumb down their press meetings.

the one with huge mecha breakin’ and slamming into buildings. it was all I ever wanted out of the movie and damn they delivered.

and yeah, who cares Optimus has a mouth or that Bumblbee is a camaro :/ — love the car park in the beginning where bumblebee is parked next to a yellow bug.

pro-choice is a good thing, abortion is each and everyones private fragging decision. it’s not something we should, or need to make into a political talking point, because, gosh dolly, we have enough of those (base income tax, union taxes, salary raises etc) anyway.

Yes, Abortions can have complications. Yes there just might be emotional consequences, as well. some women say that they feel sad and use more drugs and alcohol than before (this in a country where everyone is a budding alcoholic, russia and ireland, grab yer ankles)

I submit the following addendum to the list:

Well Guess What. Childbirth can have complications. Yes there just might be emotional consequences, as well. some women say that they feel sad and use more drugs and alcohol than before, also, they might go completely around the bend. i,e sneaking a pillow and holding it firm over the newborn to simulate a stillborn. or stab the child to death etc.

so in retrospect, shit can and will happen, make sure you own up and take responsobility. it’s hard, but it’s well worth it.
