Frun jourar och jag tröstar mej med en mörk brittisk maldryck (och en dokumentär om musikalen Haïr). Kvällens jouröl ör en kul butelj med Bad King John, A Very English Black Ale. Och visst är den mörk. Nästan svart. Wow.
Av de tre jourbärsen hittils var denna nog klart den häftigaste. Klara likheter till Guinness, men [...]

I just read an article Scott Hanselman wrote about blogging. One of the important things were that he counts the success of his blog in how much of a dialogue he gets with his users.
As i get hardly no feedback at all (even when i’m writing about politics and/or religion), i just thought i’d have [...]

A bit over a year ago, i posted a story where i had been approached by one or more members of the Shuck family in the belief that i was Lauren Shuck.
To recap, i was sent an invitation to join the Shuck Family’s group on Yahoo! groups and i was sent a gift [...]

After i received notification, no, fifty-eight notifications, about comment spams that even Akismet (the smap filter of this blog) didn’t catch, i decided to raise the protective measures. So i installed Bad Behavio(u)r, a filter for PHP-driven sites that tiest to catch the bad guys based on their http behaviour. I installed it [...]

Huzzah! Nu har jag skrivit min andra php-skriptade sida — jag är en sån hacker
Den här gången blev det en liten snutt på domänen/webbhotellrummet jag skrev om igår som visar de artister som jag spelat oftast den senaste veckan enligt last.fm. Artiststatistiken finns som en XML-fil på Last.fm och den slurpas över om [...]

Spam in my mail during the last 30 days: 562 (caught by Gmail).
Spam on Navelfluff during the last 24 hours: over 20 (caught by Akismet),
Update: Since i wrote this on Saturday, i’ve received 131 more spam comments. Now it’s Monday morning. Ungh!
Rather than report individual findings, i’m going to report what’s in the spam buffer [...]

Speculations are over. For now. Timor-Leste Foreign (and Senior) minister (and altogether hoopy frood) José Ramos-Horta has stated that if he has to choose between becoming Secretary-General of the UN and President of the Republic, the priority would be Timor-Leste.
A week or so, i pondered which position he would pursue if presented with both. If [...]
