And there she is!

Spring. Slow as molasses but sure enough - there she is! Rubbing her eyes and stretching her arms while yawning wide enough to scare the flowers out of their sleep in the ground. Winter has been one gothic emo girl this time around and she has been in a constant state of fluxuation, earning her the name Urban Slush Puppy in my book. Spring seems perky and willing to wake up though and we went from just a few degrees Celsius, to a whopping +16 in just a few days. Granted, as I type this it's just +3 and 6 AM, but you got to hand it to her, that was a commendable effort on her part!

Now I just wish for the gravel to be swept up so I can see if my inlines are still usable at all. That and a cup of tea, but the latter can easily be procured.

Good morning Spring - you've been sorely missed!

A slightly surreal trip

I've disliked Holidays for many years now, mainly due to the fact that my relation to my parents and siblings are utterly broken and only held together by blatant denial. Let's just say I don't approve and do not wish to participate in any games of faux holiday joy which only leaves me feeling drained, sad and bitter. This year was really OK though and I have several friends to thank for this. I am currently on my way back home to Gävle after being a guest of Gaijin. With five hours to go and recuperating after food poisoning I will try to nap now.

The awkwardness of Miranda

Miranda's file transfer messages have always been a bit screwed up, to say the least. But sometimes I wonder how they get 1+1 to become 2. This doesn't make any sense at all (and the file transfer actually failed):

Thought of the day:

For some reason, I really really dislike chromed plastic.

Varför jag inte stödjer det lokala näringslivet

Take your time why don't you?

I read a lenghty post a while back, full of techy reasons why file handling is so time consuming and hard in Vista. Basically it boiled down to that this is how it SHOULD be.

Nevermind the tech, if someone comes up with the most awesome explanation for why a train can only do 3 Km/h, I'd still call it crap.

Let me introduce you to Vista:


Do note, that it didn't take this long, but that it also took about a minute to figure out how long it THOUGHT the operation was going to take.

Notes:

Vista Ultimate 64 bit
2 GB DDR
AMD X2 4200 Dual Core
Drive is a 500 GB S-ATA 2 drive that wasn't asleep.

How I learned to stop worrying and love to not be macho

I really really just HAVE to post this because I found it so amusing:
