Läsvärda ord

Det kommer inget nytt i FRA-frågan härifrån idag, jag kommer inte på något att säga som inte andra redan har sagt bättre. Däremot vill jag hänvisa till en underbar post från Opassande-Emma; just en sådan man själv önskade att man hade kunnat/tänkt på att skriva.

Fotografer

Till att börja med, jag är inte en professionell fotograf. Jag är en systemutvecklare. Jag tjänar mitt uppehälle på att utveckla systemlösningar utifrån mina kunders behov. Jag arbetar aldrig gratis, utan snarare så arbetar jag enligt en av två modeller. Endera kommer jag överens med en uppdragsgivare om vad som ska åstadkommas, och ett fast [...]

Multilingualism

This is a newly started blog, as anyone willing to peruse the archives can contend. When I started writing in it, it was to give me an outlet for thoughts that didn’t  have any place in my previous, personal, blog, which was primarily aimed at my friends and family. I wanted to have a soap [...]

Teknikneutralitet

One more post on the proposed wire-tapping law in Sweden. En sak stör mig i argumentationen för FRA-lagen (eller, många saker stör mig, men en sak tycker jag inte kommer fram så ofta). Det är när man försvarar lagen med att det bara är frågan om en anpassning till dagens teknik. Folkbladet säger t.ex. Att [...]

Några reflektioner om FRA-lagen

This post is regarding the upcoming vote on a new wire-tapping law in Sweden. My thoughts on the law are therefore in Swedish. Under den senaste månaden har det skrivits mycket om nästa veckas omröstning kring "en anpassad försvarsunderrättelseverksamhet", huvudsakligen på olika politiska bloggar, och nu den senaste veckan även en del i traditionell media. [...]

Installing XP on an eee, the easy way

No flame wars, please. I have nothing against Linux, and if this was my computer I would probably go with Xandros (or more likely an eee-ified Ubuntu). But the computer is primarily for my girlfriend, and I personally am more accustomed to Windows, so I can’t troubleshoot linux as easily as XP, especially remotely. To [...]

Unboxing the eee

Since Sweden is a backwards, third-world country, the eee was introduced here today, instead of for about a year ago. Of course I needed one… eehm… well, the girlfriend needed one. Yeah, that sounds like a good enough reason. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be writing quite a bit about it… for now, a few nice [...]

Remote controlled Concorde

A colleague of mine crashed his new RC helicopter this weekend, after aprox. 7 seconds flight time. No big deal, he just needs new rotor blades, but it did give me an excuse for posting this awesome video of an RC Concorde. The fact that the march of technology sometimes takes not only a step, [...]

EOS 1D

Let me be the first to say, that I am a crap photographer. I lack the necessary esthetic sensibilities. In fact, often I don’t even like the act of photographing, it’s just to much work. But I just love a good camera. It’s the ultimate venue for my technical fetish. Now, my camera is pretty [...]

Uploading images with Windows Live Writer to WordPress

I’ve gone completely insane the last days trying to publish to my WordPress blog (self-hosted) using Windows Live Writer. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn’t (I get Xml-Rpc errors), and I can’t find any clear pattern. Longer posts tend to have more problems than shorter ones, and posts with more images [...]
