My 3-year-old twin nieces were visiting me today with my sister. They borrowed some cartoon DVDs, like "We love Mickey Mouse." I showed my sister how to play it on a PS2, because she was not sure if could use it.

Since Christmas is nearing, I asked the nieces what they had asked Santa to bring them. The first answer was "presents." When I asked if there was anything specific they wanted, the answer was "Mickey Mouse."

After reading about the problems with the election in the USA again, I wanted to tell you how voting works in Finland and what the ballots look like.

There are some images of the ballot, and the voting procedure here, but the text is in Finnish. Also, I found one photo here

Finnish Meteorological Institute finished a research recently that concluded that to have as many beautiful summer days during your vacation, you should have it between the beginning of June and the middle of August.

So basicly, if you want to have beautiful summer days during your vacation, you should have it in the summer.

Inspired by this comment on the story MPAA Blames Linux Australia Notice on Human Error, I decided to make my own 0-day moviez page. Go check it out. The page is updated automatically once a week using the chart at http://www.imdb.com/char

Okay, some of you think that birth control pills are a form of abortion. I hate you.

Also, what's all this "pro-life" and "pro-choice" shit? Are you so scared of offending someone that you can't be against anything?

That article pisses me off so much...

I updated my Intarweb portal. The Official Michael Moore Homepage: REAL ULTIMATE POWER.

Spread the word.

Okay, so the joke is old. I still think it's funny.

I haven't been able to find any work in the IT industry, but I managed to get a summer job at a construction company. So I've been doing that for two weeks now. I'm young and I need the money. It's been pretty hard work, but I consider it as a chance to work out and get a little sun.

You might have been to my Agapio racing team dubbing page. Most of the examples there are from Digimon. Perhaps because of this, my Finnish guestbook has been taken over by kids who argue which is better: Pokemon or Digimon.

Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner . If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down.

Come on, it's been a week already. And besides, I can still post, just as long as I ssh to a remote box and post from there...

Edit:Yes, the ban has been lifted. It lasted just about a week.

Yes, it's 30 minutes past midnight in Finland, and April Fools Day has started. No point in visiting Slashdot for 24 hours.

(Yeah I know Slashdot AFD hasn't started yet, but you get the point)

I don't know if I should be proud (but I am), but I was looking at the http-refereres on my homepage and noticed someone had gotten to my guestbook using these two searches:

Don't you just love it when you're struggling with a bug in your code and all your co-workers decide to be cute and come and ask you "So, does it do anything yet?" every five minutes?

Oh yeah, and when I say "Please leave" (twice), that should be the first warning sign that I'm not in the mood. So if you come back moments later and I say "Get the fuck away from me", you shouldn't be suprised.

And by the way, the bug was really stupid, like it almost always is.

There was a Discussion on Slashdot on how to fake a hard day at the office. I remember people suggesting on the Linux side to continuously dump the system log on screen and other such stuff.

First, search for "SCO". If you find it, and the comment is moderated funny, metamoderate it unfunny. If it has some other positive mod, read the comment. It it truly is a good post and not just "OMG SCO IS TEH SUGZ", metamoderate the moderation as fair.

Then metamoderate the rest of the moderations:

"Virii" is not a word. Well, it is a word, just like "sokblast" is a word, but just like "sokblast", "virii" doesn't mean anything.
