3 Olympic golds in one weekend

You see the subject, thats why I haven´t posted that much latley. Mostly been sat in front of the Telie watching Swedes failing miserably in the olympic, expect of course of Klüft, Olsson and Holm. Of course everyone already thought they would win. The pingis player Waldner has been more of a suprice, of course he lost today, the king had already said hi to him. (of course I am a republican and really don´t like kings, to the extent of dreaming about convinicing the hole bloody royal family to abdicate.

Now what does have happend is the following, I seen Return of the King again, at the movies. Well outdoors movies in Uddevalla. I don´t now what worse all the drunck 13/14 year olds (one even had to be dragged away by her friends), all the chating and standing up in front of me, the freezing or the movie itself .Every time I see it, I see more and more faults and flaws and of course there is the part about the ghostarmy looking like somekind of detergent (probably yes or something) I think I should hold back on that ramble and go on to ramble about my last reading.

It´s a book bought on sale at sf-bokhandeln (oh, they are haveing middleage days, with sales if your in middleage clothes. Arghh...most be in Gothenburg, oh it was in Stockholm) and is called Mediations on Middle-Earth, it has quite an extenisve list of people contributing to it from our dear Terry Pratchett through Robin Hobb to Ursula K. Le Guin to Orson Scott Card to Poul Anderson to Raymond Feist, I do miss any Katherine Kerr text. There is a great one on her homepage. With Tolkien references.

And now that reminds me of trying to get a special celbration of Frodo/Bilbos Birthday on the 22nd of September with Esgaroth, that propably would be needed as we almost are dieing.

Blogger isn´t compatible

I Think I just nearly blogged about my own blogg, acctualy I couldn´t as Blogger isn´t Mozilla FireFox compatiable. Well hope this fuctions better then. The thing at the circus didn´t go that well it was hired for some company or something (the clown said metal something as friend Helena said. Must make a diffrence with Helenas as Katas sister too is a Helena... After the not-so much flyer thing we did go home via Vänersborg, we hurried to the shop to buy indgridients for Pizza, and we didn´t even have any Tofu, you can allways make veganpizza. And I bougth cola, I really must need to get rid of that addiction... (Sugestions how are welcome) So we went from the shop to the Square, there we to our suprise found sister Helenas boyfriend waiting for the same bus as us, and in good sense of our local collectivtrafic company, the bus we should take said one time on it´s offical timetable and another on the one we were going to change to. (This bus system is hard to explain you have to have lived it) My conviction of getting an HPV (Human Powerd Vechicle, ie Bike) is getting stronger. Im thinking of building one of these "Recumbent" thingies, probably something like the one here (the page is in Swedish though, but the pictures are nice). Anyway when we got home we had to make quite much pizza, acctualy we made it with 100 grams of yeast, but it was nice. Everybody in Katas family eat plus me and Tobias. It´s probably the last time that happen in quite a while as Helena (Katas sister) is moving tomorrow. The we just have done nothing, I did see Per-Eric mentioned in the post about the Friends of the Earth camp entry online at the Miljöpartiet (you know who they are now) BBS gittan. Though you can´t chat with people logging in through www. (We´ll I guess thats why). And now I really should go do some works on the GU-Thn site.

What the f**k

Im trying to get somekind of nice design on this blog, so you can get a bit of presentation of me, but those templates dosn't seems to work, so now I have another thing on the todo list, get to understand how to make designs for Blogger.com. I started writing a letter to the editor (I don´t think it's quite correct, but the lexicons give that translation) about free software, but somehow it sleept of. I also have gone around reading other peoples blogs, and wondering how to get people reading my blog. Please comment if you have any suggestions? (So do you have any sugestions). I think I shall sit down and finnish of my Lovecraft FanFiction storry to. Oh, right if you now of any competions in novells or poems please inform me of these too. Kata is in school so I am quite bored, I think what I really should do is code the Grön Ungdom Trollhättan (now adays you now what it mean don´t you) homepage, or at least the script for Ecological/Fairtrade marked products. To night is another meeting, it´s a put out flyer action at Circus Brazil Jack with the Djurens Rätt (Animal rights of Sweden) Trollhättan/Vänersborg. (This is in Trollhättan). It´s quite horrible acctualy, the have "exotic" birds and doves , how do you transport those, brr... horrible, to not talk about horses that are in fact clastrofobic. Katas family has two horses and I really can´t see how that would be possible todo circus things (yes, its quite wrong to have animals, I meant that two members of there family is horses. Kata also is studying a load of Natrual Horsemanship books and even have been on a camp) .

Regularly posting, Miljöpartiet (Green party meeting)

Aha, I am getting to regular updates, that is good. Today, not much has happend though. I have written som perl code, which is always nice. Didn´t sleep to long either, also we were on a Miljöpartiet Trollhättan meeting, it was quite intresting, allthough this old people need to learn how to listen to each other. Kata begins school tomorrow, and also there is a circus in Trollhättan, so there will be protests, and we shall be there. Not a long rant today, got some comments on to long rants. Yeah, yesterdays IRC discusion with Dr.Rotmos spawend some ideas about going after the record companies that uses direct-copy-controll with sues, and trying to do something on there trademark offences (Using the CD logo, when in fact those records are not CDs, Philips don´t like that)

Summercamp and long time

Hi people how read this my blog.
So I think I said in the first post, that I shouldn´t be long between updates. I most admit that it was a lie as you see. Now sciencerly I was thinking of updateing it often. But things got in the way. But lets forget that and get talking about things that has happend the last week or so.

The one nice thing that happend was the globalisation camp with Miljöförbundet Jordens Vänner (It is the swedish section of Friends of the earth International. The camp was payed for by the nice people of Miljöpartiet Trollhättan (The Green Party of Swedens section in Trollhättan) as we are members of Grön Ungdom Trollhättan (The young greens of Swedens section in Trollhättan). We arrived on Thursday with bus, (it was hold not to long from us, in Nordkroken, that made local buses possible) . The first thing we did was put our tent up, me and Kata had borrowed one of her families tents, it was not rain proof but we took a chance (happly it didn´t rain). When we arrived togheter with Linnea and Helena that also are members of GU-Trollhättan there was only a few persons there, doing the food. As the day progressed more and more people arrived, from here on my memories of time is quite mixed. What I do remember is bathing in Vänern (on of the gratest lakes of Sweden, I never rember if it is the deepth or the width thou) with waves that was really of ocean strength. We did of course also have people talking to us, among others a norweigan man called Asbjörn (or something like that) from For velferdsstaten that was probably the most liked lecture (allthough a bit hard to understand). There also was lectures on everything from the privatision of water (brrr, and im not sure of the spelling. Please comment with the correct one) to the rainforest to workshops on activism. There also was a discusion about the MJV (Miljöförbundet Jordens Vänner homepage) and some workshops, I did mention GNU\Linux and that Open Source is a word that liberals use to make Free Software more markety, sadly it seemd not to get in. They kept saying open source. We did social things to, like played The Settlers från Catan (Thats a strange translation if any), it was really nice. Also we met some nice people, one called Gustav, hows mail I seems to have lost (or rather I tryed finding him on Miljöpartiets BBS, where he said he had an account, but didn´t) and another nice nerd how had a protable computer with Debian on with him, and sat coding Perl applications for somekind of groupware-system, it made me feel verry guilty about not coding anything on Tolkiensarda, but also verry happy to find another person how prefer perl before php. (In the Tolkiensarda case we have a trouble with building forward on the old phpBB databases) He also was very much a cyclist (he has cycled about everywhere) and that made me wanting to buy one, as it will make communication for me much easier. And it seems fun to. He also knowed Katas sister Helena (No not the same Helena as the Grön Ungdom one) through theere intrest in music. Anyway to see more on Per-Erik look at his homepage. One I was talking about people I almost forgot Göran, how I had some mail contact with as I was going to hold a lecture about Free Software at a Grön Ungdom summercamp, but sadly become ill. I still have it preperd and am ready to go long to give it to people. (But economicaly, I can just go with in the west coast of sweden with out some transportion support. At least till I built a bike). Any way back to Göran, he and Gustav played Settlers från Catan very aggressivly. Now GU-Thn (I think you get what that short stands for....) is planeing to build up a libary, so I emptyed my bookcase on some books, and also me and Kata thought that some cd´s with free software would be nice (Knopix of course) , sugest free software (GNU GPL:ed or licenses or suchlike) and free litrature too. Use the comment function good dam it. Over and out for now.

First post in new blog...

Well, hi Everyone.

Im happy to say I started a blog. But to tell the truth I have had two before. One was called, Weird screams from inside the strange place, our something like that. And the other was called Virres reading blog. But now I stoped them and decided to start a new one. That holds everything and why should I keep things secret. Honstly serves best,so it will be a verry straight on the core kind of thing. And someparts might be in Swedish sometimes.

Well, I guess I should write something about who I am. My name is Virre Annergård, Born in Stockholm Sweden. Have a girlfriend. Live in a small city called Färgelanda, Girlfriend lives a bit outside of that in a village called Rådanefors. I am a Vegan and Blackgreen in politics. I soon will get to the blogging part, please don´t fall a sleep. Lets list things that is on my urgent list:

1. Get a job. Stop being a lazy sleazeball really, anything. If you have some tips of work in the western part of sweden (Västra Götaland, our rather Västtrafiks area) give me a mail. Or if you have some other nice way to get money to. (Allthough legal would be nice)
2. Get working on the redesign of Tolkiensarda.se, most get a CVS client that works on girlfriends winsucks machines.
3. Make Youth Green Trollhättan homepage, but that could proably not be as rushed as the other stuff
4. Get Esgaroth active and begin doing stuff (Esgaroth=Tolkien society)
5. Get active in politics and do fun stuff. Hmm, non-violent direct action kind of stuff.

So let´s get started on real things then, like what should I rant about today. Let´s see favourite isue is GNU/Linux things and how horrible the collective trafic is. Let me say it this way, Today there was 3 buses from the nearest town (Uddevalla) to Färgelanda but then there was only one buss to my girlfriend. And as we are here, and really had to go here we had trouble getting home from an Esgaroth meeting that was cancelled. First we should take the train from where the meeting was (Vänersborg), so we sit inside the station waitning as its about 30C outside (it felt like waiting for trains in Italy, it was that hot). So we sit inside there, and then the speakers says "train up to five minutes late". And then we sit there waiting and then we hear a train, and wow that was our train. (why, didn´t they say it had arrived) Now then we had to go with buses that had like 0 minutes of marginal to the next one and go a long way off. But in the end we got here and eat a verry nice rice noodle/tofu/cashew-wook. So here comes todays

Vegan Recipe: ricenoodle/tofu/cashew wook
(for about 3 persons)

1½ Can of wook-vegetables (or whatever source you want for those)
1 Can of coconut milk
1 package of tofu (the ones that are in water.)
½ a package of Ricenoodles (about 300gr)
Cashewnuts as you think may be to your likeing
some vegetabel oil for frying in.
spicies: chilipouder, blackpepar, herbal salt and some juice from a citrus.

Begin with cuting the tofu in nice squares, and prepare the ricenoodles according to instructions (ours said boil for two minutes, so you might want to do that a bit later on as it´s quick and not needed before much later). Begin frying the tofusquares in your wok or whatever you use for this purpuse, after a minute or so add the vegetables (if you are useing non canned, think about what would need the longest time). Let that fry togheter for some more minutes, (till you found they got a bit of colour) then add the ricenoodles. Put some soy in to get away that uggly silken color of the ricenoodles and make the tofu look a bit nicer. Fry it some more whilst stiring around, so that thee ricenoodles get mixed up properly. Now add the coconutmilk and stir abit. And the spices and taste, so it´s the way you like it. Let it be boiled a bit and add cashewnuts. Then serve and enjoy! If your lucky and got the right amouny of chilipouder it will taste wonderfull. Oh, and if you wonder what I meant with some of the stuff in it, please ask, becuase my food term english is off.
(please comment on this recipe.)

and finaly the recomended webfinding today:
Swedish: vegan thing, the fact that Eniro lists pälsdjursfarmar as an entry. http://gulasidorna.eniro.se/query?what=yp&heading_exact=P%E4lsdjursfarmer&advanced=&match_comp=&match_street==
and maybe I should say im just showing you that it is there, it´s up to you to think about the inpact of that.
English: A bit happier maybe, the IMBD forums about Queer eye for the straight guy seems kind of nice. But I wait a bit about that to. .

Now a request, andbody else with an Topcom br 604 broadband router have got Age of Empires: Conqueros Expansion to run as a LAN game? I really seem not to get it working
