How many times haven’t i come back to my computer and found that it has rebooted on me. At least KDE (and Firefox, and my pro-pimped IE) has session saving, but whatever was on the Windows desktop prior to the reboot … is no longer.
While Windows needs to reboot once in a while, the least [...]

Thanks to a friend at work, i can now present thee my name in Arabic:

الهلسنكي كريستيان بن الباسم لورين روبن رونيا ابو

If your Arabic looks like a string of boxes, you probably aren’t viewing this with a Unicode font.
Update: OK, maybe i need to comment on how to read it. The approximate translation of [...]

Well happy birthday to me…
I’ve got an exam ahead so it hasn’t been much partying. Got a wake-up from the wife and kids, with a song, a card and a breakfast (and a hug each!), and some chocolate thingies later on. Got a DVD with pictures from our recent visit to Paris from [...]

Mitt gårdagsinlägg fick mej att fundera lite. Dels har jag antagligen betett mej som en blåögd tonåring som trivialiserat saker till oigenkännelighet. Det tänker jag tillåta mej. Om jag hade fel nånstanns så är det åtminstone ett sätt att lära sej nåt.
Vilket för mej till nästa point: det skulle vara kul att, sådär bara av [...]

Whoa. llauren.com has been hogged by Wang Lee Domains, Port Lous / Mauritius. I’m almost famous :þ
OK, not that i ever wanted a dot.com llauren, but if i’d taken that UN job in Mauritius, at least i could go and tell him what i feel about domain hogging…

For the second time ever, i am conciously wearing pink, and i don’t know how to take it. The first time was at a party a year and a half back, and mostly intended as a joke. And now, this. The way it happened was the usual; my wife comes home from a shopping [...]

I had my first mid-life crisis this morning. In a bit less than a week from now, i’ll turn 36. Friggin’ 36. That’s a lot.
I started to think about my life and what i’ve done so far. I’ve worked for UN in some bizarre far-away country, check. I’ve travelled to Nepal, Galápagos and a bunch [...]

Öög. I’m just back from a jog — my first jog in almost a year. Jogging, you know. The pointless kind of running that really doesn’t take you anywhere… just back. The kind of stuff that’s supposed to do you good. Good my arse.
Jogging in Timor was a different thing. Fifteen degrees warmer, for one [...]

Jag tog en titt på Googles hemsidegenerator. Google pages är en enkel och klar platform för att tota sej enkla och klara hemsidor. Web2.0. Fyll i och publicera. Enkelt, smärtfritt och –på gott och ont — ett minimum av pynjeri.
Medan jag själv knepade ihop sidan llauren igen på några minuter kom jag att tänka på [...]

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust! Nu har jag äntligen kopierat vart och ett blogginlägg till denna server. Stuffet på Blogsome gick någorlunda smärtfritt till slut, med hjälp av Qumana (som jag befarade var omöjligt igår), men de drygt hundra inläggen jag hade på Nanobloggen fick jag copy-paste’a för hand. En i sänder. Lite underlättade det att [...]
