Tarjouspyyntö www.kuvalauta.fi -sivuston hostaamisesta
Kuvalautaa ajettiin alas eilen. Kuvalauta kuuluu Suomen 200 suosituimman sivuston joukkoon, ja on täydessä sekavuudessaan hyvin mielenkiintoinen 4chania ja muita japskityylisiä, anonyymejä kuvafoorumeja muistuttava anonyyminen alakulttuuri. Kysyin, kuten ilmeisesti moni muukin, lisätietoja alasajosta sivuston ylläpidolta ja sain alleolevan tarjouspyynnön sähköpostitse. Toivottavasti Kuvalaudalle löytyy uusi koti.

Medieframträdande: Fildelning – rättighet och brott
I oktober förra året under AltParty gav jag i Pirattinuorets namn en intervju åt en grupp journalistikstuderande vid Åbo Akademi i Vasa/MediaCity. Resultatet är att jag dyker upp några gånger i deras slutprodukt , “Fildelning – Rätt och Brott”, som visades på FST5 igår och förblir synlig på Yle Arenan i några dagar. Dokumentären är till [...]
Finlandsinsikter
Jag satt och behövde något att sysselsätta mig med häromnatten, så beslöt mig för att dela med mig några till meningslöshet generaliserade insikter jag gjort om mitt glest befolkande, lite isolerade hemland. För att förstå Finland, börja med att stilla begrunda hur lantbruk i vårt klimat med hjälp av 1800-talsteknologi är desperat kamp mot svält [...]
Batch convert Irssi logs or other text files to UTF-8 using recode
When I recently rented a VPS running a fresh install of Debian, I thought it was about time to stick with the now default Unicode locale, UTF-8. Doing this switch in a sensible fashion would include converting often used text files, such as chat logs from the older, more compatible but limited ISO 8859-15 charset. [...]
Openness and microblogging
This entry was originally posted as a comment on Xuenay’s blog. Also: doesn’t LiveJournal support real hyperlinks in comments? Ultra-suckage. I’ve always found Twitter to be a very interesting concept, but I don’t use the service myself. I find its minimalism compelling, but its terrible at representing conversations or replies. Jaiku on the other hand [...]
Hufvudstadsbladet kan göra tre miljoner årlig förlust men saknar vettig webbupplaga
Enligt Hbl skall Konstsamfundet satsa på sina tidningar och få dem att gå på vinst även om situationen för närvarande inte utlovar solsken och jordgubbar med vispgrädde och konjak serverade i syrénbersån. Utan att kommentera dagstidningsbusiness som jag inte vet något om gnäller jag gärna om utbudet av svenskspråkiga Helsingforsnyheter på webben. Därav lyfter jag [...]
Idiot MEPs want EU to regulate blogging?
Good grief, what are these MEP asshats thinking? I’m against ownership concentration as much as the next guy, but I wonder what pluralism in media policy has to do with blogs putting “journalists and other media professionals under pressure”. I don’t see how regulation of before unseen ways in which potentially independent, anonymous citizens can [...]
HP GPLs the Tru64 Unix Advanced File System
Hewlett-Packard has released the source code of AdvFS under the GNU General Public License. AdvFS is an advanced file system (with features such as snapshots and storage pools) used by the company’s high end Tru64 UNIX operating system. This probably means that HP does a lot of business with Linux, and that there really is [...]
George Carlin Dead of Heart Failure
Carlin, who died at the age of 71, was an American author, comedian and actor known for his dislike of taboos and defence of Free Speech. A recording of his Seven Dirty Words monologue, which after being aired by a radio broadcaster caused a 1978 American Supreme Court ruling establishing that the F.C.C. can regulate [...]
Introducing omglog.com
For some time, I’ve wanted another blog with a significantly lower threshold for posting short shutouts of those random links that keep me distracted. The source of this text, the notes section on my personal site, should for a number of reasons be kept relatively tidy and reserved for longer posts with my own, original [...]
Funny: The Ladybird Book of The Policeman
The IRC gods delivered me this shall we say, updated version of one of those silly (60′s?) easy reading books published by Ladybird. I was drinking some water when I began reading this and immediately almost drowned myself laughing. [via:1,2 (dunno where this originates)]
Wiretapping in Sweden: all communications to be monitored?
Rick Falkvinge, the leader of the Swedish Pirate Party discusses a wiretapping bill called “better adapted military intelligence gathering” that soon may hit hard on the privacy of anyone relying on any electronic communication routed through Sweden. A few quotes from the post: “At about 20 points in the national information infrastructure network, all traffic [...]

- So, here's my lengthy excuse for posting a rapey Assange related link pointing towards Valleywag of all places: http://j.mp/alAzGT
- Okay, it’s Valleywag, but here’s a supposed Wikileaks/Assange police report leak
- RT @JoonasD6: "we learn that Assange's preferred method of seducing groupies is to feed them cheese." http://u.nu/5y62f #piratpartiet #wikileaks

- Pirate, warez scener, Fairlight founder, GOP chairman
- The shutdown of Chatroulette is a fine example of the problems w/ "cloud computing." Your favorite masturbation tools can be gone any minute

- Mad Men is notable for its subtly dramatic take on alcoholic 60's advertising creatives, their women and other property.
- On the other hand, autoposting links like some SEO webdick would challenge me to keep the signal/noise ratio of @omglog better than before.
- Wondering if it's too douchy to autopost the feed of my @omglog posts to my Twitter account. The issue is linking to a blog w/ mostly links.
