Normally, you don’t want the version control system you’re using to maintain your thesis programs to say segmentation fault every time you update, even if it’s a simple consequence of certain core libraries being updated when the computer was upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Luckily they’re not all upgraded yet.

UTF-8 er Vegen, Sanninga og Lyset. Ein glimrande måte å bruka ikkje-engelske teikn i tekst på, inkludert teikn som engelskmenn og amerikanarar brukar sjølve, ikkje minst aksentar. Det er frykteleg plagsamt med program som ikkje skjønar seg på slikt, og trur at alt er ISO 8959-1. For då ser det slik ut nÃ¥r ein skal drikka skjærgÃ¥rdsølet sitt, og det er jo berre dumt.
Nede ved tunnellbanestasjonen ligg ein butikk som heiter sju-eleven, sju minus elleve, minus fire, alt ettersom. Der er det ein kaffimaskin som, etter mi meining, lagar drikkande kaffi. Denne maskinen kan t.d. laga vanleg kaffi, eller han kan laga espresso, i tillegg til ymse anna fjas. Det er sjølvsagt ein del mindre epresso oppi ein kopp espresso enn det er coffea vulgaris oppi ein kopp coffea vulgaris. Men det er den same koppen i begge tilfella. Eg har framleis til gode å betala noko anna enn vanleg pris for ein dobbel espresso der. Eg har rett nok aldri prøvd, men eg trur ikkje det er halv pris for enkel espresso. Koppen ser ut til å ha plass til ein trippel.
Think I’ll start doing this book sharing thingy. I can probably find some books I can do without.
Spent the morning reading, saying adieu and doshing out cash on clothes and a nice black hat. I’d show you if I also had wasted money on a digital camera.
They sit around the monolith in anger, despair, hope, joy and grief. All but one statue. It’s the dead among the living that I noticed and remember, not the labyrinth or the monolith.
Does the bridge tell a story?
X Multimedia System is a fully misfeatured program with an awful UI, and no amount of skin is going to change that.
It’s Free, though.
Guh. Not getting anywhere on the thesis. Wasting time. Brain nonfunctional first four hours after getting out of bed. Etc. Nice weather earlier, though.
Was going to say something funny about getting a call from VG, but then I read the news.

Vel, det tok altså fem år før nokon tok seg bryet med å stjela noko frå sykkelen min. Og vedkommande tok jo berre speilet. Ikkje så jævla dyrt. Men irriterande likevel. Det var ordentleg nyttig å ha det der. Kjøpa nytt, kanskje. Faen til opplegg. Biltema har nokon billige supervidvinkelgreier som ser heilt ubrukelege ut.
Why is he suddenly writing so many entries, after a week’s quiet?
Answer:
Because he has something better to do.
Went to this warehouse and bought some stuff I needed, like new summer tyres for the bike and brake shoes for same. And some things I can pretend to need, like a toolbox and a sorting box. And, of course, a couple of things that I can claim, with complete and utter conviction, are Very Useful And Handy To Have, but which I have no need for just now, nor soon, like a magnet on a stick and a nifty little multimeter. Not expensive, either. If it was, I couldn’t have impulsed it, could I. 88 kr for a manual-range thing which goes beep and has these needle-probes you can poke people with. Low-budget geek thingy. And magnets on sticks. Telescope sticks. Concealed magnets, disguised as pens. Must have. Quick, pretend they’re useful. My precious!
