			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>den femte oktober. I dag har eg vore med på båttur til Sneheim, som er eit gamalt hus frå då det var gruvedrift i Hiorthfjellet. Det var ikkje frykteleg langt, men derimot rikeleg bratt. Utsynet er i teorien flott, men det stemmer ikkje heilt når det er såpass snøvêr at flyet ikkje kunne landa. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://skjaeve.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sneheimkart.png"><img src="http://skjaeve.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sneheimkart-300x264.png" alt="Kart over helgeturen til Sneheim" title="sneheimkart" width="300" height="264" class="size-medium wp-image-472" /></a>
</p>
<p>Det kan vera bale å koma seg til Sneheim, sidan å spasera over fjorden krev langt strengare kulde enn me har no, eller nære familiære band til Vårherre. Derimot er visstnok Adventdalen såpass frosen no at det skal vera heilt trygt å gå over, og ein rypejeger me møtte hevda til og med å ha sykla over. Men me som var på denne turen fekk båtskyss. Det var Svalbard turn som skipa til turen til den minst tilgjengelege posten på sommarens topptrim. Det var ikkje så gale med snø oppi høgda. For lite til å stå på ski, men nok til at det var umogleg å vurdera fotfestet. På den andre sida var ikkje det så nøye, for det var jamt over slett pga. dei flate lause steinane som dekker alle fjellsidene. Og det har snøa meir i løpet av dagen og kvelden.<br />
Sidan vêret var så lite strålande gløymte eg reint å ta gode bilete, men her er eit par illustrasjonar:</p>
<p><a href="http://album.skjaeve.net//index.php?album=Svalbard/haust-08&amp;image=DSC_2060.jpg"><img class="ZenphotoPress_thumb " alt="DSC_2060" title="DSC_2060" src="http://album.skjaeve.net//zp-core/i.php?a=Svalbard/haust-08&amp;i=DSC_2060.jpg&amp;w=300&amp;h=300"  /></a><br />
<em>Sneheim er den svarte flekken til høgre ca. midt på fjellsida.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://album.skjaeve.net//index.php?album=Svalbard/haust-08&amp;image=DSC_2046.jpg"><img class="ZenphotoPress_thumb " alt="DSC_2046" title="DSC_2046" src="http://album.skjaeve.net//zp-core/i.php?a=Svalbard/haust-08&amp;i=DSC_2046.jpg&amp;s=thumb"  /></a><br />
<em>Demontering av postkasse.</em></p>
<p>Kvelden nytta eg til å sjå <a href="http://intuitor.com/moviephysics/IndianaJones3.htm">den fjerde Indiana Jones-filmen</a>. Den var artig nok, sjølv om det var rikeleg med detaljar å pirka i, så som at nei, magnetfelt oppfører seg ikkje heilt slik, og hadde ein ikkje blyhagl i haglene på femtitalet, og ikkje stålhagl som den godaste Indy brukar til å finna denne magneten? Ein svært selektiv magnet, som altså ignorer bagatellar så som som ein over kuben av avstanden, og som gjerne trekker på spenna i ei geværreim, men ikkje sjølve geværet. Eller at på femtitalet kunne ein meia folk ned med maskinpistol utan at det kom ein drope blod nokonstad.</p>
<p>I helga vart det ein del festing: På fredag hadde Jeff og Lisa skilsmisseparty med full bryllupsoppstasing, og i går var det isbrytarfest på UNIS. Eg er stygt redd for at den siste festen får mange bilete ut på fjaseboka.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw Star Wars E3. It&#8217;s better than E1 and E2, but it&#8217;s still a silly Star Wars movie. Nice effects, though. I&#8217;ll have a bunch of opinions about it, mostly about moronic technology, and the not always very impressive script, but it&#8217;s too early to legally spoil it further now. Rant to follow. Summary: If you survived E2, see this one, if only for closure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And one rantlet more. Or maybe two.</p>
<p>Hello, Hollywood, this is for you: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power">Fusion energy</a> is not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy">renewable energy</a>. Allow me to restate that: Fusion power <i>is not a renewable form of power</i>.  Once the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium">tritium</a> or <a>deuterium</a> is spent, it&#8217;s spent. You&#8217;ll have to get some more. There&#8217;ll be a limited (albeit vast) amount of deuterium in the ocean, and some atmospheric tritium, though it&#8217;s probably easier to make your own. To summarize: Vast fuel supply != renewable energy source. Got that? <b><i>Fusion power is not renewable power!</i></b></p>
<p>One could say, of course, that nearly all the power we use comes indirectly from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star">stellar fusion</a>: The Sun&#8217;s radiation drives the rain and the wind, and feeds the plants we burn for heat, eat to live or leave to rot for sixty million years before burning as oil or gas. <a>Uranium</a> is forged in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova">supernovas</a>. But that&#8217;s not relevant. See above paragraph for point. Mindwandering will now halt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw <a href="http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/">Spider-Man 2</a>. Where to start, where to start. As for logic and consistency: Puh-leeze! The inhibitor chip, to take one bit of random nonsense. The <abbr title="Special effects">SE</abbr> people forgot the &ldquo;<i>press here to disable</i>&rdquo; sticker, not that it was all that neccessary. It would have worked better if the mad scientist&#8217;s answer to the question about mind takeover had been simply &ldquo;<i>Nope. Can&#8217;t happen.</i>&rdquo; which also leaves the way open for a bit more of Octavio&#8217;s darling &ldquo;<i>you dare question my infinite wisdom&rdquo;</i>, but that would&#8217;ve been going into overkill again.</p>
<p>The subway. For one thing: Emergency brake. Trains have those. They override the driver&#8217;s controls. Another: ATC systems. Automatic train control systems are quite common now, and can for example cut power when a train goes somewhere it shouldn&#8217;t. So could Spidey have, for that matter: Tear an aluminium strip off the train and short-circuit the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_rail">third rail</a>. You&#8217;d (I&#8217;d) expect a physics student to know some basic electricity. But factualities tend to ruin the action, apparently.</p>
<p>So, lessons learned:
<ol>
<li>Don&#8217;t set off controlled thermonuclear explosions in urban areas.</li>
<li>Requiring human operators with cybernetic implants to be standing relatively unprotected at all times while explosion is ongoing is a bad idea. [Are you just going to shut off during his coffee breaks?]</li>
<li>Thermonuclear explosions can be stopped with water. [I think not, Sherlock.]</li>
<li>Controlled fusion reactions look like miniature suns, but do not emit UV, &gamma; or neutron radiation. [Og hvor vil De s&aring; have Deres Garage?]</li>
<li>Random physics buzzwords make sci-fi movies look more authentic.</li>
</ol>
<p>The list goes on and on, but now I&#8217;m not going to bother right now.</p>
<p>So other than reaching nearly to Armageddon on the daft-o-meter, a freqently fun movie with nice fighting, a very boring love story (the bit with the landlord&#8217;s daughter was one of very few nonboring scenes on that topic) and, well, <abbr title="Computer-generated imagery">CGI</abbr>-looking <abbr title="Computer-generated imagery">CGI</abbr>. But no <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast">boobs</a>. An unresolved question is whether Octavio&#8217;s mechanical arms are any good for masturbation.</p>
