Battlefield 2142

Thanks to the wonderful world of copyright infringement, I could get my hands on the final version of Battlefield 2142 a couple of days early.
The game plays out pretty much like Battlefield 2. The engine looks pretty much the same and almost everything is as sluggish, both in terms of loading times, menus and the [...]

OKI B4100

I finally got around to acquire a mono laser printer. Actually my first printer ever. I never saw the point before and of course, there hasn’t been any really good, affordable mono laser printers until now. Having looked at the playing field around around $100-150, read the proper reviews and calculated toner costs it came [...]

Gmail

As pretty much the last person in the world I signed up for a Google Mail (”Gmail”) account. I’m still not convinced of the brilliance of web mail. There are serious privacy concerns for instance.

Still no mp3 player. And as I was walking by a showcase of the current generation of mp3 players at one of my local electronics retailers I was struck with the force of revelation. Seeing mp3 players in the flesh is a lot different from reading specs and brooding over promo shots. I have expressed [...]

Digital Terrestrial Receiver

So, this neck of the woods is about to switch from analog to digital TV. Or that is to say, the analog transmissions are to be terminated in three weeks time. It’s not true to form to reject technological progress but this digital TV thing is not sitting well with me. It’s expensive (considering the [...]

Fridge thermostat

The other Cylinda fridge thermostat failed just the other day. Amazing lack of quality really. Thanks to environment-friendly practises and cheapskating corporations, the average life expectancy for a thermostat these days is about 5-6 years or so. Pretty unimpressive.

Shower riddles

How dumb do you have to be to actually plan a shower in a corner with a steep angle? Well, I apparently did. Or that is to say, I didn’t pay attention when the house was planned and built and shit obviously happened. As it stands, this is one of the most obvious problems I’ve [...]
