Old hosting gone

My friends server where he choose to host his friends is since the 5th october now offically closed down. as he put it;

På grund av tidsbrist, kostnader och bristande intresse så läggs servern ner för gott nu.

"Becasue of the lack of time, expenses, and lack of intrest the server will be put down for ever". This means that my experimentalplace is now gone offically (Luckily I got my saved stuff from there a couple of months ago) so I won't loose anything but I still mourn because of what happened and that he stopped the hosting.

Speakers dead

These are my current and broken speaker(s).

My speakers are now finally dead - at least the left one. At first I had to live with the little glipse and jacks when it came to volumechangeing (the left speaker), so everytime I changed volume on the speakers the right didn't always play sounds so. I also had to live with the constant spark within the sound whenever someone turned the lamp on/off in the halway, toilet, my younger brothers room and in my room (These speakers are old, been along since 96 or 97 or so).

The left speaker is now dead. Don't know but it only gives sparks when I try to mix with the sound - this after having talked to my brother at Skype (and for some reason Skype is having problems with me as well - as in break the call and blaming the sound device for an unexpected error and closing the call).

I can now choose between this; Using som old speakers - which bass is broken :/ or buy a new pair of speakers. I've been looking into some, but I wonder; What speakers do you use and how well do they perform (Give +/- about them) - If possible, provide an image of them :-)

Meet with Mr. Frost

It is early and I can feel the chill in the air and my breath shows as a cloud rising from my mouth. There is light in the horisont but the sun is still far from raising and as I look down on the field I see the white covering parts of the ground.
The breath of winter. Winter is about to enter and I can feel chills down my spine. Sweeping the parts I see how everything shift in white. Sky is slowly lightning up i still have winters in my neck and it bothers me to know he's so close.

I had met with mister Frost. His lakey.

SPAM

If it just happened to be about the spam we eat, then I would be happy. But now it's something worse. The advertisment, It will be a little harder to comment now but I still don't think it's okay to spam other people.

I do not enjoy spam, matter of fact I hate spam, it's the worst thing ever made. At least the postbox at home I can put a "no commercial" sign and be relieved of the mail. As it is now, I hate the emailspammers.

May you burn in hell evil spammers!

The importance of right time

The importance of of the right time on the cellphone is high it seems. This very morning I knew I went of with a good marginal so I would get to the bus in time but at the bus stop it ws totally empty, dark and the clock showed that the bus should've been there 5 minutes ago.
Feeling the lack hope crawling back into the stomach I see an other one getting to the place, which makes me feel wierd, an other person that is late to the bus? Or are my cellphone really in time? Waiting I realise the bus is yet to come and my cellphone is totaly off. But, it ain't late, it's early. But the accuracy of still is important. And is getting more important in our stressed society. When can we stop think about time?

Never.

Autumn

Autumn is here with all it's colours, short days and wind in his hair. The rain and the chills down your spine. Cold and furious and angry stands the winter and awaits to take his throne. Snow, determination and darkness is his way. I see him, his sword of frost and his white beard. I can sense his breath - piercing right through me. I can see winter stand there and wait - patiantly because both he and I know that how I even try to escape I will come to him. Running from him would just make me get there faster.

So here I lay my pen, in a wait for better times...

Informationflow

I will cut down on the blog readiing. The information streaming throgh the net is immense. Which means I can't cope up with reading even half of it and on the same time take care of my studies and my life.
Every morning the blogreading (Where I find the new entries through RSS) swallows almost one hour of blogreading which mean It takes time to get started - not to mention there is entries updating as the thay go on.

I'm afraid I have to. Sorry to few of you - though most of you who have a blog I AM / or recently stopped reading don't read this so I don't know what I am even writing this for. Oh well.

Google builds a RSS Reader

Google is launching application after application in the Google Labs. Their latest application is the RSS reader on the web. Yes. That is correct. you don't have to have a client or Firefox to start syndicate feeds. There are a few of these services out already but Google's version seem alright and good from a usability point of view.

Don't forget to check out Rojo which is almost the same and let you being able to keep track of your RSS feeds as well.

Sapphire goes WACOM

I have finally installed my Wacom-tablet of the size A6. So, Alex goes Wacom. Even tried out drawing some and i can tell I felt like a 5 year old again trying to do something. But I guess I'll learn eventually.
