An e-mail dumped into my inbox today, from the CEO of the MP3Tunes service, that I use for backing up my music collection. It stated that EMI claimed that this use was illegal and had sued MP3Tunes (this happened a while ago, I know). This isn’t even a case of so-called “piracy” that you claim [...]
Today (6th of April) is my birthday, and my GF, being rather artistic, decided to go a different route when it came to the gift certificates she gave me.
This one is for TuxGames (well, this was /really/ from the cat (Junior) and the hamster (Tuxine)):
This one was for Aetolian credits (Aetolia being a MUD):
And the [...]
I know you’re probably sick and tired of these comparisions. If so, don’t continue to read, and definetely don’t troll in the comments :).
I had so many various problems with 2008.0 that I felt it might be prudent to try some alternatives (I’ve upgraded to 2008.0 on 4 boxes so far, with not a single [...]
Well, I called the idiots AGAIN today. And they suddenly found out “hmm, we can’t get parts for it”. So, they’re sending back the box without a working mainboard. How fun. So I’m still without a proper laptop, and it seems like it’s going to stay that way.
So, they can’t get parts for a [...]
I turned in my laptop for repairs this January (under a month after the last repair). The screen was broken. Then they informed me that the motherboard was also borked, due to moisture, so I’d have to pay for the repairing of that. Okay, that’s fair enough I guess. So I told them to go [...]
I tried the bash completion stuff, and found a single thing I liked, ssh completion. Most of the other stuff just annoyed me… a lot (and was mostly useless, at least for me). I first looked at the code in the bash completion for ssh completion, but it was imho too large to stuff into [...]
In the beginning there was…blah, okay I won’t go that far. Though, the first host provider I used was SourceForge.net. I used that for three projects:
GFSGL, GFSI and GoldenFiles. Mostly random stuff there, not too large projects.
Then one day I thought about this and well, using a proprietary website to produce and manage a [...]

This code monkey like Lisbeth. Who do you?
Great song. For those lazy of you out there (yeah, there’s quite many lazy people that will read this blog post):

Since some people seemed a bit interested in my opinions on the various music players and music managers I’ll go through a few of them - beginning with quod libet.
The initial interface looks like this:
In my opinion its interface is less than elegant. It devotes almost the entire interface to the list of tracks available [...]
I’m currently using amaroK. Now that’s a great player, and software HAS to be great for me to use a KDE program. Now, I have a music player, sure. The problem I have with amaroK is that it’s a KDE app. It brings along kded and dcop. That’s the bad part, kded crashes, dcop brings [...]
I’m tired of mozilla stuff (wow, you didn’t know that now did you). So I’ve tried the last month to get rid of Thunderbird the last few months, I tried Evolution, but evolution was way too bloated for me, and now I tried Sylpheed Claws.
It turns out, I like Sylpheed claws (all parts except the [...]
Now this is quite cool, Davide Duina (I think I spelled it right! :) of http://mandrakeitalia.org/ has posted an Italian translation of my SSH tips and tricks.

No, not for everyone. Some have a horrible christmas, be it problems within the family, war, illnesses or really anything.
Some people spend their christmas eve suffering.
Some are at the hospital, caring for, waiting, being afraid of one of their loved ones. My thoughts go to you.
Some are with their family, watching as they get drunk [...]
EFN stands for “Elektronisk Forpost Norge”, or in English, “Electronic Frontier Norway”.
EFF’s cusin in Norway.
I’ve been voted (I think it was a vote) to become a member of the board of EFN as a representative for EFNU (EFN Youth). This will hopefully be fun, productive and interesting. One thing is certain, there’s a LOT to [...]
As usual the scary boy in black got stopped and searched by airport security. I’m getting used to this, I get this almost every time I fly. I go through the metal detector, the metal detector doesn’t beep, nothing wrong with my luggage… But still they tell me to “come over here” and then proceed [...]
Sooo, plane leaves in ~2 hours and I’ve had, let me see, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds of sleep this night. Mmm…
After reading AdamW’s blog post about Last.fm I decided to try it out and turns out I rather like the thing.
So now all of you big brothers…erm…I mean music lovers out there can spy on my music taste at http://www.last.fm/user/Zero_Dogg/ :o
…not officially this time either though.
Tomorrow we have a «study day», which is just my schools excuse of giving us a day off without actually calling it a day off. then on Wed-Thu I’m going to be in Oslo for the OOo meeting. I’m suppose to go to school on Friday but I’m going to [...]
I finally got around to creating a webpage (mind you I am no web designer). It’s available at http://zerodogg.iamaturtle.org/. Theres not too much content there right now (except in Norwegian) but that’s coming.
The page has all of my notes from this year of school available (in Norwegian) under a creative commons license, thus hopefully perhaps [...]
