Snow must be the best thing that has happened since the wheel got invented.
How light this winter becomes with all this fluffy stuff lying around. Today it has been -8 and wonderful sunshine. Even though it has been about three years since I last used my skis, it really was perfect.
Now I have my computer with its teeth bared, running Linux and learning lots. Stop using XP unless you are a gamer.

End of an era
And about time it was too. I have now removed everything Windows from my machine and put Linux on it. Again I find it challenging and fun to use the computer and am now loading it up with graphics and audio software. Next thing will be to build the ultimate database and start scanning all my pictures. Very happy about a computer that does what I tell it to, and not a computer that does something without me wanting it to. Yes to democratic software.
Happy New Year!
It was a really fun New Years Eve. Well, the first part was ok. At a party with sexually challenged people, so not there to find someone to smooch. It was civilised, by all means. We ate, played a game, talked and had a relaxing time.
The really fun part, I think, was the nachspiel. A friend of mine and me went home to his apartment, he put on a couple of vinyls, we inhaled deeply and then it just went through the roof. My first DJ-battle. He got a fully set up mixing board. He has just got DJ 12" - you know, records with break beats, mixes and the like. Lacks a bit on the regular musak. Anyhow - I had never done something like that before and it was a real challenge. I just had to pick up something arbitrary and try to get it to fit with the beat and flow.
After a while, we played up and mixed a real challenge for eachother. We both stood there like drunk ravers, digging, grooving, swaying and thumping our feet. The howling we kept to a minimum. At seven o'clock in the morning though, I had to hand in my towel and tell him to shut off that god damned thumping music. Yes, I do get tired of three hours of breakbeats.
It is something to be repeated though. Yes. Now he is visiting Brasil for close to four weeks. That bastard. It is supposed to be me who goes to Brasil.
