"Come on, Charlie!"

late night staring contest...

I went outside the apartment a couple of minutes ago for the first time in days. I deemed it necessary, because my cough has just gone away, and I needed some fresh air. It was cold, but very refreshing.

As I was walking around the courtyard, minding my own business, I notice an attractive woman in one of the windows, staring at me. I try not to look at her, so I look at other things, like the ground, or the road, for example. I do this for a minute or two, and when I turn around, I see that she's still there, staring. At me. I try to ignore her, but I still see her in my peripheral vision, and guess what she's doing? That's right, she's still fucking staring. I'm getting freaked out at this point, so I walk back into my apartment.

Please, lady, stop staring at me! Can't a guy walk around his courtyard late at night without being stared at? I need the fresh air, dammit!

Next time, I'll stare back. See how she likes it. Nah. I'll look like a pervert if I stare into windows late at night. I hope she's not there next time. Stupid, scary lady, can't even be by myself late at night....

two ways of spending a holyfuckton of money...

Yesterday I unofficially jumped on the bandwagon for the next generation of high-definition home entertainment; I preordered a Sony Playstation 3 Home Entertainment System. I know, it costs a shitton of money, but it's not released until March, so if I feel I can't afford it come March, I'll just ninja-cancel my preorder. I can't lose.

The newspapers today reported that a Swedish politician hasn't paid any TV-fees at all for the last 16 years. Now, when the cats out of the bag, she says that she'd like to shell out the total sum she's previously failed to pay. Not adjusted to inflation, she's agreed to pay up about $3,112 and 65 cents (23 376 SEK), plus a fine for breaking the law. Serves the bitch right. Especially considering that she's handling the cultural branch of the government.

In the eternal words of Dan Castellaneta; 'D'oh!'

cold and miserable...

My comic strip, which I wrote about here, has been published! Granted, they only used it as a reminder for the contest I submitted it to, but still... it's kinda cool. Check it out here (it's in Swedish.)

I've got a cold. So now I'm just at home, taking it easy. Not a major change from my usual unemployed life, but now I feel twice as miserable. Oh well, complaining doesn't help, so I'll stop now.

youtube makes my day a bit more fun...

Ever had someone poke you on the side when you least expect it? Doesn't that just make you... MAAAD??


This caught me totally off guard.


Pure evil.

don't blow it...

Went to my second job interview today, and I'm glad to report that it went a lot better this time around. I was much more relaxed and comfortable.

The job I was interviewing for this time is about 60 kilometers (about 40 miles) from here. Not looking forward going back and forth that distance every day, but it beats doing nothing and not making any money. We'll see how it goes, if I get called back for a second interview or not.

find yourself lost...

Tonight is the season premiere of LOST, one of my favorite TV shows. When we left season two, Kate, Sawyer and Jack were captured by the seemingly evil group they call "The Others", and Michael and his boy Walt were given a boat and directions away from the island, after Michael's betrayal.

The Hatch computer's timer finally reached zero, and we found out that it's purpose was to release some mysterious electromagnetic buildup from the island. The timer had reached zero one time before, when Desmond, the man that the crash-survivors found living in The Hatch in the season two premiere, failed to "push the button", as he called it. The magnetic buildup that followed his failure was what caused the plane to crash on the island, when the show started. Luckily, Desmond somehow managed to release the magnetic buildup this first time before it was too late, but not the second time, when season two ended, thanks to Locke.

Who are these "Others" really? And what interest do they have in this specific trio of people they have kidnapped? Is there really a sickness? What is the Dharma Initiative? How will the rest of the survivors go on without their leader, Jack? And What happened to Desmond, Mr. Eko and Locke after the finale? These are the questions we hope to find out now, when season three begins.

On another note, after my catastrophic job interview yesterday, I have been summoned to another interview for another company, to take place this Friday. I hope it'll end up a lot better than last time. As always, I'll let you know how it went.

the first of many...

Still unemployed. I didn't get the job. Even though I had prepared myself with what kind of questions I might be asked, and tried to find out as much as I could about the company, I was way to nervous when I sat down and the interviewer started asking questions. At least I got some tips and pointers for my next time, and for my life in general, which was nice and honest of him. He even asked for the address to this website, which I gave. I hope he doesn't find the content too offensive for his taste. Or too boring.

Oh well, that's that. My very first formal job interview. Many more to come.

"Grrr!"

so happy...!

I have been scheduled for a job interview on Tuesday! This job is so mine, I can taste it. It's for the office supply job, if you must know.

I'm really excited! I'll let you know how it goes.

ten of the worst computer related offences in movies and TV-shows

10. Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines

The scene where the Terminatrix "hacks" into a bunch of cars to remote-steer them and chase John Connor. Cringeworthy galore. Also...
"The firewalls are holding, sir!"

9. Independence Day

Dr. Jeff Goldblum uses a Macintosh laptop to destroy the alien mothership with a computer virus and save the world. Guess the aliens use USB-connections like everyone else? Aliens, try using NOD32 or Norton AntiVirus before messing with us.
Welcome to earf.

8. Jurassic Park

If the line "It's a UNIX-system, I know this" isn't cheesy enough, how about the scene where Dennis Nedry speaks to one of the boatmen through a Quicktime window, with the progress bar at the bottom fully visible? Oopsie. Also, why would they use such a shitty interface to manage the parks security system?

7. The Net

The. Whole. Movie.

6. Goldeneye

Me: Oh my God, Boris! You are the best hacker in the world!
Boris: Yes! I am invincible!

5. Hackers

The Internet is all colorful and made of virtual skyscrapers... not.

4. Disclosure

Michael Douglas is raped by Demi Moore and later uses a virtual reality helmet to flip through a virtual filing cabinet to clear his name. Which of these two scenarios are most unlikely to happen in real life?

3. 24

- Chloe, I want you to open a socket to division, get an infrared imaging sattelite on the terrorists and route it on a secure channel to my PDA.
- Sure thing, Jack... Wait, what?

2. Mission: Impossible

Ethan Hunt is trying to find out information about a biblical verse. What does Ethan Hunt do? Ethan Hunt starts emailing aimlessly to random adresses like "max@job 3:14". Right after that, Ethan Hunt emails "dianetics@ron.fucked.up.my mind".

1. C.S.I.
Original, Miami, New York - All guilty
I can't even watch any of these shows any more. It's too embarrasing. Here's a sample of the actual dialouge from the show:


Gil/Horatio/Mac: This low-resolution picture taken from a shitty '80s security camera is supposedly the last picture of our victim. We better find some clues!
Computer nerd: Sure thing, boss. Lemme just zoom the picture...

Gil/Horatio/Mac: Good. Zoom in on the face. We have to verify her identity.
Computer nerd: Okay, let's zoom...

Gil/Horatio/Mac: NOW, COMMENCE THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE PICTURE!
Computer nerd: ENHANCEMENT BEGINULATED!

Gil/Horatio/Mac: Yes, it is her. Thank God for the illogical wonders of computer magic that can create details in a picture out of thin air! Otherwise we wouldn't even be able to solve a spoonful of sugar in hot water!
Computer nerd: Amen, boss! Let's wait for another deus ex machina to help us find out who the killer is.
