We need a couple of those:

Lovely surprise

So last night, my cat decided to come home and dump a dead bird in my couch.. Lovely..

Democracy: Definition

To all of those uneducated idiots who are rioting in France against the new president, here's a little reminder:

de·moc·ra·cy

n. pl. de·moc·ra·cies

1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

2. A political or social unit that has such a government.

3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.

4. Majority rule.

5. The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.

So...

All the anarchist/socialist/anti-sarkosist manifestants in the streets of Paris
have to stop their stupid, useless, boring- ass shit.

The majority has voted. We won, grow up and deal with it.

Vive Sarkozy!

Friday Night Mojito

I made myself a fat mojito on Friday night, in a 50cl Weiss beer glass. It was a beaut, so I took a couple snaps of it.


I should probably go see a doctor now - I'm blogging my drinks...

Media Players - Why is it so hard to find a decent player for OSX

I hate iTunes. Really.. I hate it.. almost as much as I hate public employees in France..

Since I've changed my workstation from FreeBSD to OSX, the only real problem I have had is finding a decent media player. I only have a couple of requirements:

- A small footprint (in terms of resources) - I don't want my media player eating up +1GB of system memory, like certain other *cough* iTunes *cough*

- The ability to queue a song (without building a new playlist) - How is this not a feature in ALL players?

- Tagging! I want to tag my music collection, with fx. tunepimp.

- It should be fast!

I'm a huge Amarok fan, and frankly I can't wait for a native OSX version (I know I can run it through X11, but that's not as cool as native) - currently, I'm using Songbird, which shows potential - but still far from fulfilling the above mentioned requirements.

I've tried (and discarded): Cog, NexTunes, Audion.

No, I do not want to join fucking WAYN!

.. and frankly I don't give a rats ass where you are now, or where anyone else is for that matter..

STOP SENDING ME INVITATIONS TO WAYN!

Well, I've decided to get into shape again. Mostly seeing Dimitri there feeling damn good about his running routine - I thought, what the hell.. I could stand to drop a few pounds..

Anyway - went up to the local sports-gear-and-stuff store Decathlon, and picked up some nice running shoes, and some other gear - yay!

Been out a few times already - it hurts like hell; but damn it feels good.

To measure my route, I put in place www.odometre.fr (heavily inspired by Kristian's site.. - hey, no point in re-inventing the wheel) - I've added a few niceties - and there will be more to come.

Anyway - give it a try!

PS. Oh yeah, we're not dead. Just too busy to blog...

Yes, I concur

I just got my spanking new MacBook Pro 17" the other day, and I must agree with Lasse - it is probably the nicest laptop, I've ever owned.

OSX is great. So far no problems, except it does take a little getting used to, installing application by drag'n'drop.

I have a few issues getting Finder to show me the content; the way I like it - but I guess I'll get it working eventually.

More to come...
