I come across a lot of interesting stuff on my Facebook flist, but as I don't want to post anything on my own page, I come and post stuff here.

You Will Never Kill Piracy, and Piracy Will Never Kill You

and the follow up Lies, Damned Lies and Piracy.I'm still having computer problems. But this time they might be more on the software side of ( Read more... )

Facebook is full of election stuff at the moment (Finnish presidential elections second round coming up in a week). If my FB friendslist could elect the president, it looks like Pekka Haavisto would be elected unanimously (yksimielisesti). Seriously, the way that people, even those who aren't so interested in politics usually, are so enthusiastic ( Read more... )

What the h*ll is going on in the States that both Wikipedia and LJ are protesting against it? Wikipedia went black when I searched for something there today. I guess that I happened upon there just when the protest was starting. From what I've read about the laws that they're protesting against, those two laws sound like trouble, and they likely ( Read more... )

Dear Google, I want to be logged into Youtube 24/7, yet I don't want to be logged into Gmail at the same time. This used to be possible, but hasn't been possible since the time that you've needed a Google account to log into Youtube. I even created a Google account just for accessing Youtube to somehow counter this. Well it works so far until I ( Read more... )

I've joined a couple of new sites due to fandom. Did you know that you can sign up on Dreamwidth with your LJ OpenID address (username.livejournal.com). Being able to log in makes it easier to read blogs there as the site doesn't treat me like a kid, warning me about adult content at every turn, which really gets on my nerves. It's good that they' ( Read more... )

I've been watching Ghost Whisperer (Aavekuiskaaja) on telly. It reminds me of Medium, but it's much tamer and instead of visions, the main character in Ghost Whisperer can actually see and talk with the ghosts. I think that it's the second season that I've been following. Anyway, I brought this up because the opening of the show is one of the ( Read more... )

I wrote about this previously a year ago. I didn't recall that it was so long ago. Anyway, I sometimes have a physical reaction to witnessing physical pain in others, like if they have a wound or something. Today it happened when mom showed me these small garden scissors with which she had accidentally cut her finger. There was a band-aid on the ( Read more... )

I went to Helsinki yesterday to have dinner at campus with h_a_k_u and lazba. I haven't eaten at Unicafe probably since last May. It was nice seeing Lazba after such a long time as well. ^^ I tagged along Haku and we went to a fleamarket and then his place. The weather was pretty interesting. It was sunny and hot when I left home and by the time that we got to ( Read more... )

I came across an old entry from last October where I said that I'd join Facebook. I kinda forgot about it until now. Well, you can find me there now (I guess), but I'm not using this nick there. There's really nothing there yet and there probably will be very little there in the future, cause I plan on using Facebook as more of a public front. What ( Read more... )

Finnish readers, pay attention. About 80000 Finnish passwords have been made public by some hackers. (The links are in Finnish.) Go here and check that your username or email isn't listed. If it is, then go and change that password ASAP! You can find more information hereI couldn't find myself on the list, but then again I don't use Finnish net ( Read more... )
