Farcebook

So I’ve deactivated my Facebook account. It was momentarily fun in the beginning, but now it’s just another time-consuming site of endless challenges, stupid cyber back-pats and invitations to unimportant tests (no offence to those who sent those, cause I found them funny at the beginning too). I just figured that I would try such [...]

Yes, I work here…. well – sort of

A few days from now, C’s father has birthday. We want to send him some money, as it is way easier than buying a gift, sending it and wait for it to arrive. I should have known better. To send money there are 2 obvious options: Either by regular mail (will take about 7-11 days) [...]

Idiots – what more is there to say?

As expected Jehovah’s Witnesses turned up again about 1 week ago. What the hell do I have to do to get these idiots to stop bothering me? It didn’t help my temper when some JW fanboy commented on my old blog and tried to tell me that they (JW) respect the people who said “no [...]

Yeah – yeah…

…. I know the pic is an oldie, but I just love it. I found it after cleaning some folders and I just had to share. Especially since I hate Jehova’s Witnesses as much as they hate logic. I look forward to my next run-in with them, even though I still haven’t found a plan to keep [...]

Or maybe it should have been: Two accidents seldom come alone. Just to follow-up on my previous post I can mention that god struck again and killed my bicycle. The rear wheel is slanted and make funny noises when I use the bike. The local bicycle repair shop told me a repair would cost me [...]

Disturbing fashion news

So… Someone managed to match the previous king of ugly with this “shoe”: “Crocs”… They put the ‘Super’ in Super-ugly. And… oh no… it’s not only for your children. Aparently adults are considered cool wearing them too. Fortunately I am neither a child nor an adult according to popular science, so you won’t catch me in these [...]

One accident seldom comes alone

Last week our television started acting up. At first the picture started rolling, but then a few days later it managed to go a step further and roll to the bottom and make a glowing line. After 5 minutes os so it would become warm and seem to work with a few glitches. Unfortunately this was getting [...]

Bathing in Yilan, China

A newbie Laowai’s notes on Chinese public bathing for foreigners You enter the joint while all employees look at you with awe and say “Ni hao” (this is the version where they’ve actually seen you before). Then you let your Chinese wife do the buying of fat laowai washing time, as you flip flop in [...]

Too naughty

Seems that I’m now blocked in China. Not quite sure what did the trick, but Kevin suggested that it might be the entry where I bashed people for not treating their animals with respect. If so, it had almost the quite opposite result. I used a another negative word to describe how horses are sent [...]

NERD ALERT! Turn back now if you want to keep sane. Sometimes I make a few hardware tests for a Counter-Strike community called SLAP Ligaen. Mostly it is related gaming gear like mouse pads, mice and headsets, but the other day a box of different goodies dropped in. As always it’s exciting to test the [...]

Are you all right?

Dear coughing old woman behind the concrete wall, Are you all right? Do you know that before we moved to this apartment, we had plenty of annoying noise from our neighbours? Do you also know that this new apartment is much less noisy and that until recently we enjoyed exactly that? The 2 first months [...]

Am I the only one….

…who is getting more and more annoyed with Madonna lately? I’ve never been much of a Madonna fan, but recently it has turned ugly. I mean for one: When you walk like Tina Turner isn’t it a sign that you are a bit too old to wear high heals on a stage floor. I remember [...]

7 for trying, -3 for the result

When my parents were young, Denmark had a completely screwed grade system in the schools. There were grades like “UG”, “UG+”, “UG-“ and similar crazy stuff. When I started school it had changed to a numeric system (which in theory sounds better and more logic). Unfortunately the professors who invented this one weren’t mathematics professors, [...]

The horror season is coming

Well nothing except the usual. Every freaking year it’s the same. November starts slowly with loads of Christmas colored catalogues crammed in our mailbox. It [...]

Bitching Microsoft to their senses

I never thought I’d say this, but its nice to see that Microsoft actually listen to their customers. Following a massive attack from the nerds, Microsoft decided to change their earlier restrictions to Windows Vista. Sometimes it really helps to bitch online. You can read more about the new line here.

Hasta la Windows Vista?

Warning: The following entry has plenty of nerdish content. Shelter your eyes and turn back…. now! Ready to get Windows Vista? Looks good doesn’t it? I totally agree, except for one tiny thing. See, I believe Microsoft did another “no-no”. Did you know that Windows XP had a EULA that said that you could only [...]
