Photos yay

Oh, right. I now have acces to an webcamera. Katas litle sister got it by selling christmas magazines. So now I can get some photos if I get to borrow the camera, which I have. So I think I should let you see some of the photos we toke with it to test. Please note that its an webcamera and therefore no quality and quite imposible to take with you.

First of is two photos of me:
Me Uggly aint I

Me again As I said before, the camera is to blame for most of the bad quality


and then there is this photo of me and Kata (that I hope she dont dislike me posting.)
Me and Kata So we had a hard time setting up the software.


and then we have Kata playing with the camera and ending up in a litle star trekie motive.
Kata in star trek mode Long live and prosper!(?)

And thats about it for now. Over and out

Aye, lunches for bloggers and blogsphere

There seems to be two things going on in the Swedish so called "Blogosphere". I din´t now that it was called that, and acctualy most blogs seems to hold the same content as did the diarys at diaryland back in 1999/2000. But thats another thing. Now back to what the trends are, the first I feel is this aspect of haveing food together, there has been some diffrent such events lately, one in Stockholm and one in Malmö. There seemed to have been a quite big part of nerd issuses discused on them, but I dont see the point. Meeting people how you only know to reading each others blogs, and to be true, I dont think anyone reads my blog, at least no one how blogs. The total amount of comments somehow points towards that, but I have hope for that. Of course when I get webbspace and might code my own blogging tool its going to get better as some features I want is missing from blogger. And there isn´t that many blogger near where I live anyway, but just to test this. Would you like to go to a blogdinner, live in Dalsland, Uddevalla, Vänersborg,Trollhättan or around this areas, drop me a comment or send me an mail (virre(nospam)postmark.net) .

The other thing is that it´s called the blogosphere, but well. Err I allready said that. Well, one thing of it, is that the bloggs I find most usefull, except for the standard defendents that everyone likes, are driven by gay people. I wonder why this is, as most of the hetrosexual male bloggs I have read isn´t good at contet. Anyway that is why I have added some good blogs in the link list, will add another one soon, but as long, read Learn Swedish in 1000 difficult leassons. As I said, it rocks.

Oh and I found this really cool comic site where us geeks can send in or stories and then they become a cartoon, see Pathetic Geek Stories

Mail things

My mailprovider today feels to totaly faliure, it does that from time to time. I have used it for like at least three years, before it alternating between geocities and yesbox and some other strange mail provider. Right now, the webinterface seems down, and I have two mails to write, one to the libary of Trollhättan, as some personal from there called me, but I was a bit busy at the moment (allthough I guess this is about some books that I am a bit late with), and second to the people in the Unemployment office or whatever the english world for the place is. (Arbetsförmedlingen). I might have said im trying to get internship before here, well now there is a guy how is suposed to help me, but dont. One of the reasons that I even are at that place is a suspected case of Aspergers syndrome and therefore a person that tells me to contact the places where internship is intresting obvously is quite, err, to be frank stupid. The aspergers syndrome thing is not medicaly proved, allthough the psycolog at the unemployment office was quite assured, I still need to get examined, and as the que is somewhere between 9 to 12 months I have to wait abit, (around 5-6 months have gone so far) . Well anyway, yesterday after talking with my mother, how also works in an unemployment office she convinced me that they where at fault (and might acctualy be breaking some laws) so I sat down and wrote a mail to there boss, and I got an anser today, allthough I feel he don´t get the point either, as Im now going to meet a person how will help me with studyways and such stuff, well the point is I should be in academia, that was what some tests to see what you should work with said anyway. And due to some problems with going to uni. (The Swedish högskola is like an uni. in other countrys, but there is uni. but there is only small diffences, and there are no such word as högskola in English) before I probably wont get any money for such a thing. So what this meetting would lead to I don´t see, but well I better play along, I have allready made too much trouble.

Oki, family how reads this, Now you know about the Asperger thingie, let´s see how many reacts, if you read this leave a comment. Ah, please comment by the way. Well, others too acctualy.

On this day:

Aha, eurosport contests and stuff

So I havent writen in quite a long time, again. Why is this you might ask, well it seams that things keeps getting in the way and not only that but I dont feel any urge to ramble here. Lets just say that I will try to post more regulary. I think one of the reasons I don´t post so much is the fact that some of my family reads this stuff. But well, what todo. Anyway to proced with two nice things, one is I won some sort of eurosport bike competion, though as i remember it the prize was a cycle, (but I guess that was the first prize), what I got was this really uggly, agh, wossnames, you put it on your pint to not affect the table. Oh, well I think you get my points. And the second good news is that there is something called "Dalslands Medeltidsförening" and that they are applaying for permit to build a longhouse to hold a medieval larp in, the application seemed to be leaning towards a historicaly correct building so this seems good. The only bad thing is that I cant get any contact information about them (I want to be in such a organisation, as those Kata and probably the rest of here family, beeing quite in to mediveal markets and stuff, and going in costume or what you say.)

I guess I should blog about something more, but well I have some thoughts on schoolsystems after reading a book about famous mathematicans ("the man behind the matemathics"). I wish I could like and understand the simple parts of maths and not just the more complex parts (as I need the simple parts to count the advanced parts). Oh, and talking on such note, me and Kata is writing a litle Yatzy game, its been done a thousand times I know (remembering a quite strange version on some c64 cover disc, in the begining of the 90s) , but it is a object in Katas programming course book, and well its nice to write code together with the one you love. Espacally with a person how has such a natural understanding of code and writeing it. It´s pure art when she formulates how todo things, allthough here knowledge of the language it self (c++ in this case) makes her a bit restricted. But she advances quick and I get quite a good stimulation and get back my understanding of code, that I lost when I moved to here, as my then computer did they on me for some months. Allthough my coding skills arent completly lost, and I tried to keep in practice with pen and paper during those months. But I lost a bit of fluenty and stuff then, but its getting back to me.

Ah, you see what happends when I sit down to write a litle explenation of why I havent posted in quite a while.
