Okay, just had to…

more animals

So, we bought a new apartment. Before we bought it I checked that CanalDigital could offer both TV and Internet to the new apartment. And, according to them, then, they could.

Today however, after making three attempts to get through to them I was told that they now could only offer TV. That means I have to go back to the stoneage-performing ADSL technology. Sigh!

To top this, CanalDigital requires a two month notice on terminating a broadband subscription, and three months to terminate a TV subscription. And, even further, if you move your tv subscription they are counting that as a new subscription, which mean you’ll have to pay for two tv subscriptions for three months.

And, moving to another ISP has some costs in itself. Since there are no operational telephone in the apartment, Nextgentel charges NOK 499,- to enable the telephone line, and additionaly NOK 60,- each month to keep it open. Nextgentel is cheaper on the monthly subscription charge, so the monthly NOK 60,- doesn’t matter that much. But the reduction of 2Mbits of outbound speed matters. And, ADSL has generally a lower quality of service than cable…

Did I mention that CanalDigital probably charges for enabling TV in the new apartment as well? Sigh!

Christer Solskogen complained about my blog design this week. Or rather the fact that I hadn’t personalized it at all. So, I decided to create a new design. Here it is… There is still a lot to do on it, but I feel its a step in the right direction.

I går gikk jeg for å levere macen min på service. På veien gikk jeg og hørte på Misjonen på P4. Et par ganger i timen var det da en stemme som i et irriterende volum og tonefall kunne fortelle meg at Misjonen PRESANGTERES av Telehuset, faghandel innen tele og data…

Fra bokmålsordboka:

Og…

presan’g m1 (fra fr, se *presentere) gave få mange p-er på fødselsdagen sin

Det er en sammenheng mellom disse. Men hvis en skal lage et ord som presangtere, må en vel tenke i retning av ordet pakketere, som selgerene på jobben er så glad i. Det er altså å gjøre noe til en pakke. Så å presangtere må da være å gjøre noe til en presang, altså en gave.

As you can see I ran memtest86+ yesterday, and it gave me lots of errors. However something wasn’t smelling right, so I thought I’d run the same test on two other macbooks and one PC. The PC was clean, but both the macbooks apparently had exactly the same bugs as mine. So, it seems memtest86+ isn’t really macbook compatible. Memtest86 wouldn’t even boot. It might maybe be better if memtest86+ also wouldn’t boot instead of giving me false errors.

However. There’s something wrong with the machine, it’s slow, it crashes, it has sudden reboots. It even has strange graphical artifacts on the screen and the operating temperature is about 85 degrees celsius.

I has it.

Got this in my mail today:

Good day my friend,

I have a proposal for you - this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will. I am 50, and work with a bank (one of the African leading banks in the West Coast). Here in this bank existed a dormant account for the past 8 years which belong to a American national who is now late Mr. Raymond Beck Mrs. Dorene Beck who died on Egypt Air Flight 990
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm

When I discovered that there had been no deposits or withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that, none of the family member nor any relation of the late person is aware of this account. This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer these funds.

Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months, I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.

The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
Interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$ 9.5 million US dollars).

Now our questions are-

1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission?

If you can sponsor this transfer, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project. Call me at this direct line +XXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX after sending a mail for confirmation.

Respectfully yours,

Mr. Moses Dante.

And ofcourse this was sent from an Yahoo Email account

Jeg føler det nødvendig å videreformidle denne:

PERSONNUMMERE ER USIKRE, LÆR Å LEVE MED DET

Denne uken ble det kjent at skattedirektoratet har sendt ut CDer med skattelister til flere av landets nyhetsredaksjoner, og i disse skattelistene finnes det informasjon om personnummere.

Personnumrene i skattelistene er beskyttet med en kryptografisk nøkkel, men i følge avisrapportene (f.eks. [1]) om dette ser det ikke ut til å være en spesielt hemmelig nøkkel, så i praksis må vi nå anta at alle landets personnummere med tilhørende navn er eller lett vil bli tilgjengelig både for for avisredaksjonene og alle andre som via lovlige eller ulovlige metoder skaffer seg en kopi av den utsendte CDen.
