Reflections from a Swede in Norway.

Here you will find my small graffiti board where I write about things I come to think about.

In my blog, I write about the general unfairness of life, about spam mail, vintage computers, board games, Norwegians, current and not-so-current affairs, technology and whatever else occurs to me — in other words, a glorious mess. All opinion expressed here are of course my own, and all similarities with any living people is of course intentional.

Uppe med tuppen

Min dygnsrytm är helt åt skogen just nu, i går var jag supertrött när barnen somnat, så jag la mig kvart över åtta. Resultatet blev att jag vaknade klockan fem i morse och var allt för vaken för att somna om. Nåväl, det blev en dryg timmes frukost och tv-tittande innan jag plockade upp Johanna som vaknade kvart i sju, varpå jag lämnade henne till Thea och cyklade till jobbet till fem över sju. Har hunnit med två koppar kaffe så långt, och klockan har inte passerat tio ännu…

Star Trek reused

Published: Wednesday 2013-05-22. Language independent permanent link.

Even if I didn’t really like how they rebooted the Star Trek franchise in the 2009 film, I am still too much of a trekkie to not go to the cinema to watch any new Star Trek film that comes out. So, said and done, on Sunday I went to watch Star Trek Into Darkness. It builds upon the rebooted universe from the last film, but as it is set parallel to the original series, elements from it are reused, albeit in different ways. Unfortunately, it felt quite a lot like a rehash, and half-way through I had guessed quite a lot of what would happen, based on my knowledge of the prior series and films.

Still, I find the new universe interesting and it is a bit sad that they are only making films from it. Since the original is a TV series, it is very episodic in nature, and even this film felt like a three-part episode strung together to make a feature film. I think they’d be better off making it into an actual TV series. They have the setting and backgrounds now, and can just take off, to boldly go where they have already gone, several times before.

Done

There, now we are done with most of this year’s days off, after having managed to squeeze four red days in as many weeks in May, we now have to do without extra days off until Christmas. Well, there will be some time off for vacations, of course.

Gratulerer med dagen, Norge. Men korpsmusikk klokken seks, er ikke det litt tidig? :-)

Poisoned apples

Published: Friday 2013-05-10. Language independent permanent link.

What is it with me and Apple hardware anyway? This is my second Mac laptop, and the second I hand in for servicing. Last time I had a malfunctioning motherboard that made the screen backlighting not work as expected. This time I am convinced that that I have a software error, the computer fails to start from the OS X sleep mode, but Apple’s support department (yes, I called them!) wanted me to hand the computer in nevertheless.
