“Is this also the internet?”

Posted in Computers, Fun Stuff, Life, Rant, The World on September 18th, 2008 by Steffen – Be the first to comment

Just overheard this. And I must admit, I adore such blankness. P1 and P2 is two people talking in front of a computer.

P1: It this also the internet?

P2: Yes.

P1: I always go down there (pointing to some other place of the screen). That’s also an internet.

Seams there is multiple internets all over the place. That’s very fortunate, eh.

Bricksmith / kristianbust.dk

I recently stumbled upon a Lego Cad like program called Bricksmith, see [0]. It’s good fun, but like all Cad programs ( i presume) not easy to use at first. It’s mac only, alas. But some of you (i hope more then Madsen reads this, fx. Morten also) might like it.

I made a stupid “drawing” which can be seen on Kristian Bust’s new website [1]. Worth to check out, the website that is, if your into non-conform art with something to say.

I normally don’t post links to stuff already out there, since i find it a wast of bandwidth. And since is a redundancy-blog trend i don’t really want to participate in. But this will have to be the exception to that rule. I just need to show some respect. Enjoy.

I just saw this on the DK-TUG mail list. I seam to be the tool I’ve been wanting for years but been to slack to find. “Slack” since i couldn’t imagine that such tool should not exist. It’s ‘iconv‘ [0] and works like this:

% iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 old-utf8-file.txt > new-iso88591-file.txt

What’s up with my milk?

Posted in Fun Stuff, Rant, Windows on February 3rd, 2008 by Steffen – 4 Comments

Doesn’t the icon that in this case, the milk case, says “open this way” remind you of something? Something that you thought was out of your life, and then it all of a sudden invades your Saturday morning coffee. It’s profane. That dear innocent milk, i hope it is – I’m giving the best of credits till it’s guilt has been proven, has been infected by the beast. It has come to my home, it has chosen a soft and holy moment for it’s Trojan invasion. God damn it.
