Hufvudstadsbladet kan göra tre miljoner årlig förlust men saknar vettig webbupplaga

Jul 1, 2008

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?

Jun 25, 2008

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 express [...]

HP GPLs the Tru64 Unix Advanced File System

Jun 23, 2008

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 a [...]

Introducing omglog.com

Jun 22, 2008

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, [...]

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 [...]

Svensk tv 1979: Diskotek och dansbandsdöd

Jun 4, 2008

Nedanstående reportage (flashvideo från youtube.com) som visades i svensk tv (Rapport i TV2) den 17 maj 1979 hittade jag bland Copyriot-inlägg jag lämnat olästa en tid.

(länk till Youtube)
“Många verkar skratta sig blåa över att Musikerförbundet år 1979 krävde en “särskild diskoavgift” för att rädda dansbanden. Med risk för att skratt hamnar i vrångstrupar, måste jag [...]

Google’s new favicon

May 30, 2008

Google has a fugly new favicon.ico. I liked the old one because of its relative colorfulness, and I find it somewhat puzzling that they chose to use a gray gradient in the new version.
