While hard at work on var­i­ous projects, I got the first Wipe­Out in the mail today. Haven’t got time to play, but hey — it’s a classic…and still an inter­est­ing mix­ture of graphic design, club­bing music and great game­play. Also strug­gling with some dynamic con­tent flash pieces — more infor­ma­tion to come…

This is good to see. Free­dom of speech is one thing, using a whole pop­u­la­tion to back up sim­pli­fied cow­boy pol­i­tics is another. Stat­ing that you’re either for or against is just plain ridicu­lous… Fas­cism appa­rantly didn’t exist in vain…

Just got this as a present — I love it! Thanks, Merete…

How the hell should I know that SHOW is a reserved word in MySQL? Well, I found out in only 20 minuttes…buzy geezers don’t really have time — or patience — to do such dis­cov­er­ies… Any­way, mem­o­rize this and read this — it’s got a nice ‘Dis­as­ter pre­ven­tion’ chap­ter in there for you.

Found this inter­est­ing inter­view with Naomi Klein via Tveskov. Found the bit about Orange quite amus­ing: “They asked me to join their think tank, and when I declined they wrote me an e-mail, cc’d to every­body in the com­pany, with the sub­ject head­ing: “I thought Naomi would want to try and make a difference.”

Despite the rain and the dis­tance we man­aged to get our­selves to SeeSound in Roskilde yes­ter­day. I haven’t had time to attend the work­shops dur­ing the week, but got to see the first night of con­cert. A great lineup — and a remark­ably more fierce sound than the con­cert at RADAR last month. But true lis­ten­ing music it was, excit­ing and new as expected.

Finally got round to sort some code and design issues on geezer.dk. It now val­i­dates to XHTML 1.0 Tran­si­tional (though the val­ida­tor had some prob­lems with some of my querys­trings) and has a slightly changed design. I put in some small but nice con­tent man­age­ment fea­tures as well, so now I just might update every now and again. Still got some plans for the rest of it, though…

Oh — almost for­got to post this: Went to Rust last Thurs­day to see Nau­tilus. Damn, pure energy it was… Rock’n’Roll and a decent two day hang­over. As far as I can recall the evening included qual­ity wine, a midget and five guys tak­ing on dif­fer­ent identities…

Lis­ten­ing to a live Grooverider sin­gle launch party on all time favorite Drum & Bass Arena. Sure makes work­ing late a lot more fun. The internet’s sweet…

This is what I do at night instead of get­ting some qual­ity sleep: My old Mac SE, com­plete with a whop­ping 20MB hard drive, is now equipped with the Geezer Dog. A nice piece of graph­ics in 512x342 pix­els. Fullscreen from the eighties.
