TG08: Better not be watching anything naughty… Your mother is watching you!

During Easter, many geeks like to come together and play games and socialize with a few thousand other geeks, instead of tumbling down-hill in a huge snowball and eating chocolate. I’ve been there myself and it was great, so no pun intended. Dagbladet.no just posted a cool high-res photo of the Viking Ship at Hamar, [...]

Got PC, but no TV? Pay up, b**ch!

Swedish broadcaster SVT announced over the weekend (article in swedish, sorry) that they are planning to broadcast all of their live shows on the web. “Awesome!”, you may think – the Swedes are really moving along with the digital age, giving the consumers what they want! Well, curb your enthusiasm. As Sydsvenskan.se reports, SVT are [...]

A Guitar Hero!

No, not a plastic-fantastic Guitar Hero on the Xbox, but for real. The hero label can probably be discussed and quickly discarded, though… I got a guitar for my birthday this year. Yes, I know, my birthday is still 6 days away, but I was home on Thursday and got the present from my parents [...]

Terminator – not the robot

Found a great new tool for Linux through Tombuntu.com the other day: Terminator. This nifty little tool enables you split your terminal window into a grid of resizable terminals. I have tested it for a few days now and it’s a bliss! Instead of crowding my workspace and taskbar with terminals I now have them [...]

How to call in sick

I came across this post through TSS.com yesterday. This should set the standard for “at home sick today”-emails you send to your boss: My immune system is being unkind to me again this weekend. My coughing fits had gotten so severe that my physician has seen fit to prescribe something unprecedented to the scope of [...]

Dusty archives

As most of you probably have noticed, the blog recently got updated. Because I was running a version of WordPress from ancient times, it was no way I would get to import my old posts. Kind of like if I wanted to install a Ferrari engine in my carriage from 1780. It just isn’t feasible. [...]

Sally Kern

Many of you have probably already seen the video where you can hear an Oklahoma state legislator from Oklahoma City, Sally Kern, express her belief that homosexuality is a bigger threat than terrorism and Islam. I normally don’t have anything against people speaking their mind and expressing their opinion, even if it’s controversal. But, it [...]

Ubuntu Brainstorm

A new cool Ubuntu-site has just launched: Ubuntu Brainstorm. This new site is a voting based tracker system where Ubuntu users can suggest features and improvements to Ubuntu and vote for those they find important. The same idea was used by Dell in their IdeaStorm site, which led to Dell computers being shipped with Ubuntu. [...]
