Alexander goes flat

03-Dec-2004

Alexander got a new computer today; well, a new used computer that is 🙂 It’s a Compaq D510 2.x-something GHz desktop, with 512MB of RAM, and a brand spanking new HP 17″ TFT monitor (needless to say, TCO ’03). Can you say overkill!? Oh well, …

Speak up against software patents in Europe!!!

24-Nov-2004

Linus Torvalds (Linux), Monty (MySQL), and Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP) issued a statement against software patents in Europe, as part of the campaign conducted by www.nosoftwarepatents.com. You need to do your share too; if there’s one thing I believe will seriously turn the IT-business into a …

Rammstein in Stockholm

19-Nov-2004

Yesterday turned out to be a hectic day at work and at home, ending with a 250 km/h speed thrill in the Globe arena, presented by the German industrial rocker ensemble going under the name of Rammstein. Myself, Järven, Fisken, BoKo, Mats and Johan went …

Why are all “gallery”-type applications “the same”?

15-Nov-2004

I’ve been looking for years, and I’m still looking.. What am I looking for? A gallery application that will allow me to source photos from a “collection” and then write a story using these photos. I’ve looked at numerous so-called gallery applications, and they all …

Sting in Stockholm

30-Oct-2004

Wow; a Sting ticket! I went to see Sting (you know .. “Every breath you take..”) on Friday with Janet; he was playing at the Globe Arena in Stockholm. Since he’s one of Janet’s favorite artists, I try to get tickets whenever he’s in town. …

Yeah yeah yeah.. where’s the record Axl?

26-Oct-2004

While it’s pretty “cool” that Axl “lends” his voice to a computer game of all things, it’d be nice if he could get off the couch and release a record 🙂 We haven’t forgotten Axl, just get it out of the way and get back …

Hokan, the globetrotter

25-Oct-2004

Hokan’s words: Well, one has NOT celebrated new year unless one has done it in Luxembourg with the Homrighausen gang. WOW. Is that partying or WHAT. Luxmebourg was also very good on the 25th of September as Joaquim Homrighausen tends to celebrate his birthday. Well, …

Oh look, I found my BBS

25-Oct-2004

Having been involved in the world of computer networking for quite some time, it always strikes me as rather amazing when I find “old material” floating around the Internet. I found this a few minutes ago, while looking for something completely different.

It’s some sort of historical listing over bulletin board systems (BBS) in the Stockholm region; for those of you who don’t know what a BBS is (or was), go to Google and find out 🙂

Axl, RIP, was born in July of 1991. He was my closest friend when I went through a rough patch in my life. Axl passed away in the fall of 2003. His “real” name was “Pinero of Lucifer’s Delight”. His more common name comes from …
