Trend-whores are sheep. Or have sheep.

Right right right. Haven't written here in ages. Been super-busy at work, still am. I have some project I need finished by tomorrow 16:00 (4pm for you yanks) and I still have stuff to do. Why does it need to be friday? I'm leaving for Japan May 1st, and I'd like to be done by then.

Speaking of Japan... Dogs are a trend over there now. You can go to a shop and rent a dog for an hour, just to have your fashionate hour with a fashionate dog. Seriously.

Apparently they don't know dogs too well though. The fashion-whores over there who heard it was classy with a poodle, and decided to buy one cheap when they saw the offer... They didn't realize it was a sheep.

Link of the day

Today is Steak and BJ day. I think the name says it all really, but if you need more info you can take a look at that link.

So... On a side note I'm feeling like a true gentlemen today and am willing to help desperate, single girls out on this special day. I'm also offering my professional services as an instructor freely to those females that think they may need an introduction to this new tradition in order to serve their future significant others properly.

Ladies: You know where to find me.

Cocktails at the grocery-store and directories of doom

You've all seen Cocktail, right? That cheesy movie from the 80s with Tom Cruise, back when he was the hottest thing around. That's the kind of cocktails I'm talking about.

So... After work today, I went by the grocery-store to pick up some simple dinner that would be fast to make, and I tried to make my visit as quick as possible. Shopping at Rimi ain't exactly grand.

Realising that my supply of beer in the fridge was below critical levels, I decided to pick up a few cans. What do I see? No Urquell. Just great! I had to go for a couple of cans of Frydenlund instead, but oh well... I picked up some food, some shampoo and went to the closest cash-register. Somewhat out there in my own world, listening to Funki Porcini, I didn't really pay much attention until it was my turn to cash up.

Today's random post

I've really been beyond busy lately, and I'll be busy another few days. Anyway, I thought I'd post this one gem.

For those of you who have traversed the internets long enough to know the one and only goatse, you might understand what I mean. To the one's who don't: for your own sake, you might not want to research it.

Anyway, someone linked this picture on IRC and all I could think of was a devine being goatse'ing the earth.

Devine Goatse

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just overexposed to this kinda stuff :P

Today I singlehandedly made James Brown spin in his grave

Right. True Story.

I was discussing some server-side aspects of designing web-pages with some guy. He evidently wanted to add and change a few things on one of his sites, and naturally I came up with a two-statement SQL-fix.

Unaffected by my wisdom, the guy really didn't seem to listen, so on the fly I paraphrased James Brown's Sex machine, in full caps, to get the point across.

GOTTA HAVE THE SQL
SUGAR YOUR BONE
GET IT TOGETHER
RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON

The guy still didn't seem to listen, but that is sort-of besides the point.

Anime fans worldwide: You are going to hell

This might be shocking news to you, I know. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but if we are to believe what the media tells us, these news just came in and I thought it was my humble duty to inform you.

Anyway... I'm sure it's not too late to change your ways, since this new hell-policy was quite recently initiated. So what the hell am I talking about? Let's turn to our somewhat evil looking pope for answers.

“Any trend to produce programs and products – including animated films ... which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray anti-social behavior or the trivialization of human sexuality is a perversion"

Creative crimefighting

When I got up this morning and checked in online, some Australian girl I know happened to present me some amusing news.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian police have had troubles getting concrete evidence that illegal brothels are indeed illegal brothels. Apparently none of the customers feels like testifying, so they have resorted to some creative solutions.

The solution? Paying private detectives to have sex with the prostitutes. Yes. You read that right.

It's a dirty job, but apparently someone got to do.

To all the students out there

I know you are working your ass off with tests and all that these days and really shouldn't even be surfing the net at all.

However, I found this thing on Youtube, and boy would I appreciate having something like that back in the days when I did physics at the university.

Pretty neat.

Quality networking

According to the ads, my ISP has upped my bandwidth a tad without any increased costs. I can now serve a massive 50kbps more data! Yay!

Since this is technically a networking issue, I find these pictures rather fitting for the issue. Not at all representative for how I do things at home, but pretty amusing none the less.

Today's sight: A beautiful junkie

Today I saw something special: a motivated junkie. And what a beautiful sight it was!

It goes without saying that one thing that characterizes any major city, is its share of problem childs. People who have fallen victim to variouses substances, be it alcohol or harder drugs. People who have failed to manage reality, and somewhere in the process have become one-dimensional creatures whose main characteristic is being unable to move, speak coherent or do anything worthwhile. Unless ofcourse, when aiming for a new fix. This is how we usually see them, and this is how we expect them to be: A loathed subspecies of the human race.
