Bring on the Night

My brother bought a new dog. It’s a German Sheppard and a pretty darn cute puppy as as well. I just had to post a picture. Here’s C trying to manhandle it:

Spotted a few days ago: Why was this “sport” ever made popular? If you wonder then – YES – this is a rhetorical question. Please refrain from telling me how your cardiovascular system benefits from the movements It still looks ridiculous.

…the rabbits make a day of it. C’s rabbits not only ate all tomato plants in the pot, but decided that this was an excellent spot to relax afterwards. This is what C gets for putting the plants out to lick sun, but forget to close the rabbit cage.

Thought of the day: If they ever invent a machine that can: open jars, press out the last tooth paste, act as a warm pillow in the night, lift heavy things, act as body-o-comfort when strange noise appear and take a verbal scolding with a straight face for something you haven’t the slightest idea what […]

What the hell is up with bowties? What man really wants a bow tied to his neck? For one I think it looks like a squid ink coloured Pasta Farfalle? And why is it that bowties is expected at the Oscar Awards and not at weddings, office work or changing oil on your lawnmower? So […]

If you for some reason haven’t tripped on Ben’s writing about working 1 month in a Chinese barbershop, I would highly recommend that you took a look. He ventured into the project with open eyes and blog about his observations in-between 8 hours of sleep and 11 hours of work every single day. Take a […]

…Bjarne Riis used doping during the heights in his career. Only questions still left are: 1) Why didn’t he admit it sooner? 2) Why is he still proud of his victories? 3) Why doesn’t he say that he knows that most other of the elite riders used it? I’ll answer: 1) Because he didn’t think […]

…. to get rid of tomato plants. Today I gave 4 more away to colleagues and I also pimped my own department to foster two them. The first one a week ago and today I gave it a buddy. Well, a wife really. When I brought the first one, I asked C what it’s name […]

Almost thought I lost the database to this blog this evening. Everything went bonkers and WordPress told me there were no posts anymore. Fortunately WordPress has a forum for troubleshooting, and a moderator gave me a hint. Even though it included some nerdish stuff like messing with a repair-command query inside MyPHP Admin (which I […]

A little update on C’s tomato plant adventure. This is what our window pane now looks like: C makes sure the cuties get their water and love (unlike me) Note that we actually had luck giving away more than 20 tomato plants already. At least 10 were given to C’s schoolmates. My parents were also […]

Kojak dropped by with this bottle of chili a few days ago: He bought it in a new store in Copenhagen, where they only sell chili related products like: Honey with chili, mustard with chili and so on. He was told it was one of the hottest on the market. I know that there are […]

NERD ALERT! Turn back now if you want to keep sane. Sometimes I make a few hardware tests for a Counter-Strike community called SLAP Ligaen. Mostly it is related gaming gear like mouse pads, mice and headsets, but the other day a box of different goodies dropped in. As always it’s exciting to test the […]

About 1½ month, and I’ll be off to China to visit the in-laws and short sightseeing in Beijing. We’ll be in China for a full month. I bought the tickets ages ago, well, at least 1 month so that’s all taken care of. Then there’s the obligatory insurance (well, obligatory for decease attractors like me […]

Please tell me the test site is wrong? My homepage blocked by the Great Firewall? It has to be a joke if this is true. I don’t think my writing is anywhere near offensive to China. I haven’t heard anyone complain that I was blocked at all, so I cross my fingers for a temporary […]

I have wanted to upgrade my computer for a long time. The urge has been even bigger after the new Core 2 Duo CPUs arrived. Until yesterday I had a 3½ year old motherboard and processor. A 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 clocked at 3.36 Ghz. Even though it worked well with most applications, it lagged […]

As I grabbed my shoes ready to go for a walk in the nearby park I said to C: “Did you remember to lock the rabbit cage”? C replied: “Of course!?” with a hint of do-you-think-I’m-that-stupid-again in her voice. The incident 2 days ago was fresh in memory still. C had put all her potted […]

Did a crazy stunt last Saturday. Some would call it impossible. That’s right: I took a bike ride that was longer than normal. My father asked me to come help him with some garden work. I got this stupid idea the same morning to take my bicycle there. It’s something I do once every year, […]
