I'm a 31 year old American expat living in Oslo, Norway, with my bulldog, Ada, and my husband, Johannes. My interests include interaction design, especially information architecture, philosophy of mind and ethics, cognitive psychology, sociobiology, feminism, yoga, fat acceptance, knitting, pottery, and cooking.
Since I haven’t written anything for a long time and the only comments I get are spam, I’m going to disallow posting of pingbacks and comments for a while. I’ll reinstate them as soon as I have time to convert to a different comment system.
This explains why I never get to dance anymore. I guess there’s an attitude here that you don’t dance unless you’re drunk. So pathetic and sad! Seeing as how I don’t drink and I try to avoid drunk people like the plague, it’s not surprising that I never get to dance. Blå is a pretty cool place–maybe I’ll make a trip down there next Wednesaday, but I’ll have to leave my friends behind. ‘Cause my friends don’t dance, and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no friends of mine.
There have been some pretty serious riots in Oslo the past few days. On the way to see Brand at Nationaltheatret yesterday we saw some guys shooting fireworks at the Freemason Lodge. The first video here must have been taken right when out bus was going by, because this is what we saw:
I installed the Accelero S1 Rev. 2 with the turbo module on my 4870 today and am astounded at the difference in temperature. With the stock cooler I was idling around 70° and getting as hot as 99° at load (yeow!). This cooler has nearly halved my temps. I’m now idling at 41°, and haven’t hit more than 54° at load.
I also installed two Spinpoint F1 1TB disks, one for backup and one for files. I’ve never suffered data loss, but I’ve been increasingly concerned that my luck is too good to last. It was time to get a new disk, anyway, because my 400GB drive was full. I’m donating it to Elias–we’re working on setting up a nice gaming computer for him this weekend.
Also, I’ve added a new category, “Tech”, since I’ve been posting so much about my little project here. I’ve finally got some pics available:
