Hot!
It's 29 degrees warm in my flat now! Damn Sweden and the total lack of AC! It's almost impossible to concentrate on anything.
Train your gold fish?!?

Ukraine!
On Wednesday I'm going to Riga, Latvia and then on Thursday to Kiev. I'll be there until Monday. Take care of Elfpack while I'm gone!
I'm in Malta now. Going to eat rabbit now.

If you agree that copyright term on sound recordings should not be extended past 50 years, please, sign this petition today:

I personally have a very hard time to see the use of giving these thieves more than 10 years of copyright. No new music is going to be produced just because we keep sending truckloads of money to Abba. That's just stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Damn too late to enter a Valentine photo contest!
But it's cute, isn't it?
Englishmen trying surströmming
Surströmming is a dish from northern Swedish. It's canned rotten Baltic Herring. Sehr mumsig, as you would say if you're Swedish and can't speak German. However, for some reason it seems like foreigners have a little problem eating it because of the smell:

(The fish itself has a sour fresh taste, just like it doesn't smell. Imagine a rotten egg with fish-flavour. That's the smell.)
Christmas photos
I've taken a lot of Christmas photos, but I forgot the cord, so I can't download them into the computer until I get home again on the 30th. But I'll challenge everyone else to put up photos in the meantime:
Christmas 2007 (I'll start working on it now, so it might be empty...)
I lied a little in the first question though. I know what Leopard is, but that's about it.
Yay! High-score! I'm 0% addicted to Apple:

What happens if a vindictive girl gets a camera?
Well, this happens:
Well, I was bored: Swedish English contest
No big prize or anything, but might be fun.
And this guy knows marketing...
So you're planing to get an iPhone for some reason that you don't know? Well, have a read:

He hates Garfield though... No wonder he prefer the tasteless competent Nokia instead of the stylish moronic iPhone!
BitTorrent and the future of TV-show producers
I just saw this very interesting speech about how to find a business model for producing TV-shows when people are downloading it with BitTorrent. Of course it's distributed via BitTorrent

(The answer is of course that the producers should sell ads themselves and integrate them in the show, without making them so annoying that people edit them out or watch another show, but the figures he's showing are interesting.)
Might give a thought to you who are trying to sell your artwork. If your paintings are spread a lot on the Internet, advertisers would love to put a little text on them. But the easiest way is put an ad for your website on them, and sell ads on your website, but that's also way less money.
New mouse
I've got a new mouse and it's much better than my previous one (and hopefully it will not stop working now and then), but:
1) It needs a paper under it as my table seems to be too shiny for it.
2) It behaves differently! I totally lost the feeling I had before and have to relearn how to point. I'm trying to adjust the mouse-settings
Back from Rome
I came home tired and a little sick from Rome yesterday.
Here are some photos:

Rome!
I'm going to Rome now! Take care of Elfpack! I'll be back on Wednesday!
