I never thought I’d say this, but its nice to see that Microsoft actually listen to their customers. Following a massive attack from the nerds, Microsoft decided to change their earlier restrictions to Windows Vista. Sometimes it really helps to bitch online. You can read more about the new line here.

It’s raining Ladies! Unfold your umbrellas and feel all troubles and logic disappear. The 6 basic rules for female umbrella carrying Rule nr. 1: Don’t bother where your 8 pointed death spike goes. It’s not your fault if people happen to lose an eye. They should look out – not you. You hold the umbrella, […]
Warning: The following entry has plenty of nerdish content. Shelter your eyes and turn back…. now! Ready to get Windows Vista? Looks good doesn’t it? I totally agree, except for one tiny thing. See, I believe Microsoft did another “no-no”. Did you know that Windows XP had a EULA that said that you could only […]
Why does some people say: “Ahhhh” after taking a drink of beverage? It really doesn’t taste better if you ask me (yes – I tried if you wonder). I have an acquaintance who always either drinks his water in numerous small “sips” (with his pinky finger *floating*) or have to utter a big hey-I’m-drinking-water-over-here “AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh”. […]
Where we live, the standard cable provider is Telia Stofa. A company that I have had my problems with in the past, and since we moved recently, I can’t say that our relationship has improved. Right this second I loathe them (if you wonder – yes – I do think it is wise to write […]
I like old people. Hell, my folks ARE old people now, so why shouldn’t I? Most of them are polite and smiling, and their hard work is the basis of the good life the younger generation now benefits from. I’m all pro old people. There is one thing that really bugs me, though. Much as […]
After fortunately maintaining her mental health after finishing the first 4-5 Danish learning books, my wife borrowed 2 more. I got to hand it to the authors. Never is a dull moment in Denmark. No small problems here, just major catastrophes and big life decisions to be made. Danish life seems to be one hell […]
Are you one of the few people who many times daily have to bend over and reveal your otherwise carefully concealed apple-shaped buttocks to the screaming public just to fix your shoelaces? Then you’re shoes are probably submitted to the fashion crime that won’t go away. I’m, talking about round shoelaces. Granted, flat shoelaces may […]
Just ask your 12 year old nephew to code your 4 restaurants’ homepage without asking him to see previous work. Well at least that’s what I think Restaurant Casa Blanca here in Aalborg did. A few days ago I started looking for restaurant here in Aalborg where 3 guys and yours truly could attempt our […]
It is so hard to keep track of my anger if I just let it slip. So freshly inspired by this entry by TTC, I decided that a blacklist is exactly what I need. Talk doesn’t do it alone, so I have now made one. You can find it in the panel to the right, […]
Just the other day I got yet another visit from my favorite we-can-save-your-atheist-ass cult Jehovah’s Witnesses. Must be the 6th or 7th time they tried to save me and probably not the last. I still remember the first visit. It was a 2-3 months after I moved away from home. I was caught completely off […]
My wife started school in august, and everything is going as planned. Good school and great teachers. She even decided to pick up a few extra books with voice tapes for learning the correct pronunciation besides the normal homework. I decided to listen in on 2 of the books and to my horror found them […]
Button of annoyance nr 1 – Caps Lock If you – like me – always use the splendid 2-finger system for writing, you must have experienced the horror of later proofreading your daily letters only to see something like this: dEAR MR. GATES. dO YOU NOW THAT wINDOWS SUCKS BIG TIME? wHAT WERE YOU THINKING […]
… wearing sandals and socks when it is pouring down. I spotted 3 colleagues who apparently won’t give up their leather strapped beauties, even though the weather gods clearly told them it was not a normal Danish summer day. When I got up this morning at 6.30 we were greeted by pounding rain. It made […]
Man hugs. Who invented man hugs, and was he really drunk when he did so? Someone has to take the blame. I don’t mind hugging family members, or even close friends, but what the deal with hugging people you goodbye or hello just met at a party or similar? I find this habit strange and […]
In my mind I was somewhere else. Sure I did see the sign as I entered the parking lot. Sure I read Europark demanding that you set your arrival time at the parking disc. As one would expect – I forgot. I was already shopping inside my head before I opened the car door. What […]
Warning: Rant coming up! Who fooled billions of lonely housewives and fatties over the years? Who gave you a bad conscious and in the end only made your wallet thinner? Who managed to fill the shelves at the post office with loads of unclaimed parcels? There have been tons of stupid things on sale, more […]
Inspired by Justin’s entry I like cycling to and from work in the spring, summer and fall. Its way faster than taking the bus and I need the exercise. My ankle and knee gave up on me some years ago, so most sports are unavailable to me. It is all good, but there is a […]
I hate the summer. Not because it is too hot and I sweat like a fountain. Not because I am prone to sunburns. Not because my bodily stature never shone under the term: “Less is more”. Not because the weather gives me absolutely no excuse for taking the bus instead of my bicycle. No, I […]
