For Outdoor Use Only
Firstly my shipment from Apple is getting close to delivery. The current location listed is “Norway Outer Area 1″ which I found to be a bit funny ![]()
What? No image? No, no image to go with the post today!
Gotta leave for work in a couple hours, gonna work the evenings today, tomorrow and Thursday. Also I tried out yet another energy drink yesterday, Cult, which brings me to the conclusion I have tried all there is on the Norwegian market. I think. Correct me if I wrong. Here is the list: Battery, Dark Dog, Magic, Conda, Pitbull, Bomba, Bawls, Cult. Bomba is available in several flavors, and I only tried one, so maybe I need to try the others too…
Swedish National Day
Sweden is celebrating its national day today. Some party, some read up silly poems in public places… and some people hack the government computers - like Swedentom here. Whatever way you celebrate, have a great time! Ill be back soon with more hot rants. Also I had my last written exam today for now. Only one oral reminds, and I’m done with school. Yeehaw
Want my numbers, baby?
With the excellent help from the GMH admins, I now have public stats available for your viewing pleasure. So please, check them out, compare, print, whatever you desire. No leeching though please, I’m on a tight budget
The Spiderman hits it again!
My favorite web guru Forcer (trapped in the giant net) helped out again with some nifty code today. As always, feel free to link to any articles. The new thing now is that if you link to any article, the other frames of the site will automatically load with the article. So, it is now impossible (hopefully) to surf this site without frames. Given that you have javascript turned on in your browser that is… Im off to upgrade my gateway
(yes, Uplink of course)
Link me up, baby!
Got my reviewer copy of Uplink today! Woohooo! What can I say, the game is great - even greater than the demo! This is the boxed retail version from Introversion, as opposed to the downloadable version from Ambrosia. Well, the missions start to get hard now. Even with so much cool equipment, you have very little time. Try searching through a database for a specific person, and change several bits of info on that person all in a few seconds, and with the tracing tool bleeping like… real fast. And just when you have like a half second left, you are able to disconnect from the gateway. Got my adrenaline rushing!
All The Small Things
No this is not Avril, its Katie of course. My current desktop. The thing about it is it has the words “a model beyond limits” written on it. I think the same can be said about this site, “a site beyond limits” ![]()
As you might have seen, I made some changes today. First is the addition of a favicon. Mine have yet to load in Safari, and I haven’t cared to flush the caches. Works in Camino though, so I suppose all is ok. Comment below if you have information to shed light on the subject. Next up is the removal of “posted by xGrape” at the bottom of every post. Kinda pointless, who else could it be?
Lastly I added a new dock image at the bottom, as well as moving the search from the dock to the sidebar - where I also removed the “powered by” badges. All the small things indeed.
Also still on schedule for release is FjortisViewer 1.2. Please comment below if you have feature suggestions for this, probably last, update. Thanks!
Baw… bawdy?
Did some pretty bad photoshopping today, as you can see… I don’t think I want to show you the original image, it would make the fake look even worse. Anyway, Bawls arrived at a local kiosk here just recently, so its my first try at it. Its not bad, but personally I have tasted better caffeinated drinks. Pretty cool though that Bawls is imported all the way from Florida, and not produced here, on license.
Caught The Matrix Reloaded yesterday, and it was pretty sweet. Lots of action, and c’mon - story?? Like its possible to understand that story anyhow! As voiced elsewhere, I too, think that it will all get that much clearer once the 3rd movie is done. Tonight I will try to catch X-Men 2…
3 exams coming up this week, starting tomorrow. Sucks, but not much I can do about it.
And… (drumrolls please) *tam-tam-taaaa* The bandwidth results for May are just in: 25 MB. Thats right, even though the site wasn’t up and running till around the 7th, I still used a very little quota of my 1000 MB. So my question to you all is: what will I be filling up the site with in the weeks ahead? I need to stay on the legal side of course… Please comment below
