Tarjouspyyntö www.kuvalauta.fi -sivuston hostaamisesta

Sep 1, 2010

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. Otsikko: Tarjouspyyntö www.kuvalauta.fi sivuston hostaamisesta Lähettäjä: Kari Karvonen <kari.karvonen [at] toimii.net> [...]

Medieframträdande: Fildelning – rättighet och brott

Aug 13, 2010

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

Oct 12, 2009

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

Feb 8, 2009

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

Sep 10, 2008

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

George Carlin Dead of Heart Failure

Jun 23, 2008

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

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, original [...]

  • 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
  • Group of shitfaced teens lit cigarettes on a packed bus last night. Got an apology by asking them to at least pass around a spliff next time
  • Chat Roulette Removed? http://chatroulette.com (via @hackernews)
  • Web design. http://www.viialanleipomo.fi
  • 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.
