brAnd Live!

Live at sticky fingers.

L

ast Friday (4th of may) brAnd played live on stage at Sticky Fingers in gothenburg.

Although the condition I was in (ever so slightly refreshed ), might have skewed my perception of reality, I had the time of my life.

The gig was the culmination of a singing course where the performance was a part of the learning experience. After the two song set the band was coaxed back for an encore, although highly irregular they were granted permission for this and performed a third song.

The music was excellent despite useless sound gear. An ear-"treat"...

Julia

newborn

I

n December of 2006 the newest addition to our family was born. Julia came into the world in the normal fashion. Before 19:00, swedish time, it was all over.

Right now she's harrasing her mother every other hour to revel in milk... She is gaining in weight.

Tragedy!

Darkness prevails. My shrimp is dead.

At about 20:00 Swedish time my dear shrimp passed away :-( During a purging of snails from the aquarium, the shrimp met with a sudden and violent death when a enormous humanoid foot brutally invaded its personal space.

Somehow the shrimp had managed to get out of the aquarium and, through some incredible efforts of gargantuan proportions, had crawled one meter into the living-room - where it met its unfortunate fate.

After a brief goodbye-ceremony the remainders of the dear pet was lovingly wrapped in toilet paper and respectfully flushed down the toilet.

(Som vanligt är det inte den faktiska räkan på bilden som har dött.)

Or not...

Didn't work out.

The excursion to the land of the living didn't work out. My financial funding backed out. And I'm back on the job.Now I'm forced to live vicariously through this website and by reading tech news

Palm scripts

Palm related script

I figured I'd throw in the scripts I use with my palm tungsten e. You never know when you are going to need stuff like this.

palm-mail.sh Script that I use to:
1. start fetchmail
2. start pop3d
3. establish a ppp connection to the palm.
4. let the palm download the mail.
5. then kill pop3d & pppd.

palm-ppp.sh
Basically a script I use to connect the palm to the internet through the desktop machine using ppp.

Both of these scripts are based on different things I picked up on the internet and they are not very well written - but they do the job.

TWM & CTWM

Two lightweight WindowManagers

These windowmanagers are perfect for use on a resource hungry system. There is some kind of zen-like beauty about them that makes me want to use them every now and again.
