Butcher Baby, they’re gonna put you away

November 30th, 2004 · 4 Comments

I read William Gibsons blog today where he had a note about Genesis P Orridge. This got me to remember a 9″ vinyl album I used to have with the great Swedish band, The Leather Nuns featuring Genesis P Orridge. The sleeve must be one of the most offensive ones ever. There was one [...]

SUV circus

November 27th, 2004 · No Comments

Today I visited a customer who lives in my old neighborhood in Stockholm, called Ă–stermalm. It’s a popular place to live for the super rich. I don’t even know how I managed to live the for so many years. Especially considering my meagre income. The new place where I live is something most people living [...]

Photo shoot

November 26th, 2004 · No Comments

So I did the product photo shoot. All went well except for one picture. Were going to have to re-shoot one of the pictures next week. It was fun to do a “real” photo session with stylists, hand models and what not. The stylist was very impressed that I had the pictures available on the [...]

Irritating Apple Mail

November 26th, 2004 · 6 Comments

One thing that bugs the hell out of me is the fact that Apple’s mail program changes my standard account. I have four different mail accounts, and when creating a new email message, it changes the sender account. I’ve tried to change the order of the accounts in preferences, but the only way i’ve managed [...]

RsyncX

November 25th, 2004 · No Comments

I’ve been trying out the program RSyncX for doing backup of mail and web documents from one of my servers. The program can copy between folders on the same machine, or to or from any machine on the net. But I had some problems getting it to work. When using Quck RsyncX Script Generator I [...]

New things to do

November 24th, 2004 · 1 Comment

On thursday I’m going to take some pictures for a “How to use” guide for a new product. Unfortunately I can’t show the pictures here until the product is released. As usual I’m a bit nervous doing this kind of thing, but I’ve been thinking the setup through so I think I’ll be ok.

In a [...]

70 years

November 21st, 2004 · 2 Comments

My mother had her 70’s birthday today. We had a dinner at our place. It was nice. I had to fix her iPod, because there was a problem with her new battery in her iPod. And naturally she’s already totally dependent of her new gadget. Way to go you cool girl! Love you!

Absolution by sports

November 21st, 2004 · 2 Comments

This summer four assholes assaulted two men in Stockholm and beat them to a pulp, one of the victims got four brain hemorrhages. And the stupid idiots filmed the whole thing, and naturally the police got hold of the film. The Swedish TV program Efterlyst sent it and over fifty people called in and identified [...]

Your not cool until you’ve been Sumacke’d

November 19th, 2004 · No Comments

After reading that a spammer earned almost $700.000 in a month, it comes to no surprise that this little hot gadget can sell. I’m buying a set just to freak people out at work.

Electric Cars

November 19th, 2004 · No Comments

One thing that mystifies me is the way car companies implements electric cars. So here you have a car that has a limited range. So when the batteries are depleted your supposed to stop for several hours and recharge them? Why? There is already an infrastructure (gas stations) that would be able to handle the [...]
