	Back again for the whatever:th time

I make irregular appearances and regular disapperances, but somehow I always end up going back. When I'm around, I usually visit The Cafe. Drop by, you'll like it.

	It has to mean something

I once scored 42 points on an exam in Probability Theory.

∑4+0+4!+9-1=42

	The facts of Freedom

Stockholm. Sweden. Usually found no more than four or five blocks (in either direction) from Götgatan, but may occasionally stray further north (by means of subway train) or south (by means of commuter train). Compulsive book collector and lover of fine chocolate.

(Jan 24, 2008) So my personal space says I have not posted anything since Aug 30th, 2002. I know that can't be right, because I have journal entries dated in February 2006. And I just realised that 2006 is two years ago, and I tell you, it *really* doesn't feel that long. I blame everything on 2007, the year of hell. And I will *not* read backlog. Mmmmmmhmmm, that felt good Click here to discuss this (20 replies, Latest reply: Oct 30, 2009) Should have been you (Feb 28, 2006) There's this song that's been played a lot on the radio lately, a slow ballad sung by the aged swedish punk rocker Joakim Thåström - the chorus goes, "Damn, damn, damn, it should've been you". So it got me thinking, not way back, but 10 years or so. About the you that should've been, obviously. And about how, and why, and why not, and all that. And so I've had this slow, thoughtful, melancholy feeling for the last week or so. It's not unpleasant, and it goes well with the slow, unceasing snowfall outside. I have bought the CD, so I have the perfect soundtrack for sipping and looking out the window on snowy winter nights - and thinking. I guess I've missed just sitting around, alone, thinking. Click here to discuss this (No replies) Channelsurfing (Feb 21, 2006) I did fix myself up with a WLAN at home - once the thought got hold I rapidly got to the point where I couldn't live without it. So yesterday I bought a little Netgear wireless router and proceeded with the adventure of getting the wireless connection working on my laptop running Gentoo Linux. I spent most of yesterday evening recompiling the kernel to enable support for the WLAN card, loaded (what I thought was) the right module, proceeded to start the card and configure it - and the my regular NIC stopped working. The WLAN driver ate it. *Major* weirdness. So after reinstalling the NIC module, I gave up for the day. Today I came home, reconfigured the kernel once more, looked up the WLAN card properly and selected the (actually) right module this time, loaded it, started the card, and spent the last 4 hours trying to get it to connect to the access point. Because the card defaulted to channel 3 (like most cards in Europe and NA), but the router, in it's default configuration, chose to be channel 11. The fact that I didn't check the channels until after four hours of trying everything else I'll just write off to work-related stress The point, however, is this: It's working now - and I can finally h2g2 from the sofa Click here to discuss this (6 replies, Latest reply: Feb 22, 2006) Wee-eell (Feb 14, 2006) So... It's been several months since I last felt any urge to sit in front of my computer at home and just play around with it. I spend way too much time with computers at work. Not that I mind, they're all very nice computers (except that nasty W2K Terminal Server that keeps messing with my lunch hour). But I'm getting my fill. The result of which is that I don't slurf around as much as I used to. Maybe I should get a WLAN rig at home, so I could h2g2 from the sofa. That might help. Anyways. The more things change, the more they stay the same, it appears. And I'm very happy to see that the Intelligent SF thread is still alive and kicking Now to check out the (supposedly) new smileys. Click here to discuss this (3 replies, Latest reply: Feb 15, 2006) Blank as my mind (Sep 9, 2005) I'm apartment-shopping again. Can't seem to stay put for very long. I don't dislike my current place as such, it's very functional and I like the area a lot, it's not way too small or too big or too expensive, I just don't like it very much either. I have been thinking for months about resetting the tiles in the kitchen, repainting the windows, putting in new floors or whatever just to make it look nicer, but it turns out I'm not really one of those people who does things like that. It just refuses to happen. So I've made a tight schedule for sunday afternoon: looking at 6 apartments in 4 hours. It just might work Click here to discuss this (1 reply, Latest reply: Sep 9, 2005) Click here to see more Journal Entries		From h2g2 Wind is howling, children are crying and there's a balrog in woodpile (No Posting) (Latest post: 5 Hours Ago) From h2g2 Moomin Embassy (No Posting) (Latest post: 5 Hours Ago) From h2g2 Eurovision Song Contest 2012 (No Posting) (Latest post: 6 Hours Ago) From h2g2 Fluttering one's self ego (No Posting) (Latest post: 4 Days Ago) From h2g2 Early 90ies music - and now I feel like going to a dance party (No Posting) (Latest post: Last Week) From h2g2 Amnesia (the game) (No Posting) (Latest post: Last Week) From h2g2 My LCHF diet (No Posting) (Latest post: Last Week) From h2g2 MMORPG: Rift (No Posting) (Latest post: Last Week) From h2g2 Edema (No Posting) (Latest post: 2 Weeks Ago) From h2g2 Ode to the Brain (No Posting) (Latest post: 2 Weeks Ago) Click here to see more Conversations
