Ibland är mitt liv lite bättre än jag tror.

Sometimes I truly feel I live a grand life.

This is just really a short notice from the Pirate Parties International conference in Germany. We've technically been able to follow it through a web stream. I like the IRC-chat better even though it's slightly awkward that it was places on freenode rather than piratenpartij.

I like science fiction. One of my favourite science fiction writers is Dan Simmons. I will at some point probably explain more about the Spanish science fiction tradition.

But Japan has a different story telling tradition for almost every kind of fiction. Whether it is meant for young people, old people, women or men, there is a distinct Japanese-ness about it that you really can't avoid. Not only in comics, also in writing (although the writing is given much less attention -- sadly!!).

I met a nice man from Luxembourg once. A the Free Culture Research Conference. He worked at the Luxembourg National Library. He lives in legal limbo.

I have studied mathematics which perhaps goes to show in that I manage to intuitively pick out only mathematicians from this article about women in science. Okay, So I already knew about Sophie Germaine. Maria Gaetana Agnesi was, however, an intuitive discovery.

Following a post today on SpicyIP I realize that I sometimes get feelings of guilt for not blogging.

For completely unknown reasons I suddenly started to care about useless things.

A little less than a month ago a temporary alliance under the banner of Anonymous successfully broke into the servers of security firm HBGary and acquired information about a security firm menage-a-trois busying themselves with pleasing the American Chamber of Commerce in their struggles against undesirable leftist groupings and labour unions.

För lite mindre än en månad sedan lyckades en temporär allians av hackare som valt att gå under namnet Anonymous bryta sig in i säkerhetsfirman HBGarys servrar och få med sig information om en säkerhetsbolagens menage-a-trois för att hjälpa amerikanska handelskammaren sätta dit vänstergrupper, fackliga organisationer och andra plågoandar.
