Arghhh, it's christmas.

And so it is Christmas.

Yea, for thiose of you that aren't native. in danmark we hold christmas with the pressents and all the food, gatherings and stuff n the 24th. in the evening.
Naturaly the kids are hyped and already had way too much sugar, bored and impatient. But is't that the general norm everywhere. and we've not even ready to get out the door.

Once again I find the situation strange as hell, as to me it's just monday. Sure there's a few things I need to deal with extra. But essentially it's merely monday. Tomorrow will be a form of Feasting day for the whole family and again well, it's just Tueday. Rigth?

Sometimes I wonder why I have such a bleak attitude towards stuff like this. Basicly I don't care. it has little intrest to me. Still if certain things and traditions aren't handled prober I'll get that hollow feeling that something is missing.

Then I start thinking if of my own device or something external.
If it was internal, why would I feel bleak once the days have past. and if it's external why am I affected.

Yea, it's short one, not too cherry. But don't let that get to you. Afterall it is christmas and there's a smile on everyone (not fighting). And you'll not go missing the spirit here. Afterall fake it till you make it. First of people don't really care, second have their own stuff on their minds.

Merry Christmas.

The End?

Why not pick up on last post.

Today being the end of the world. A hot topic is what will you be doing if the world would come to an end tonigth.
Well, personally I'd be doing what I'm already doing. The show must go on and you'll never know how effective the apocalypse will be. Well, once you know it doesn't quite matter now does it.

What i do find amussing is how affected people in general are. From the loonies that builddoomsday bunkers to the loonies spending all their asserts as it won't matter. To the cynics that shakes their heads as a response to the loonies. But more so the public reaction to it.
Appearntly the morningshow have consisted 90% of this. I've noticed the FB and G+ streams to contians quite a bit of this (mostly comics and funny pics). But for some reason everyone around me seems to take it with some uuuh big thing....

Maybe I'm essentially a cynic myself as I really don't care (got better things to do), or maybe it's one of those  how's the weather thing. Surely i find a few of the funny pictures hilarious, at the same level as #caturnday.

Well though of the day. Now I think I'll better get back to the things I really want to finish off ASAP, like writing that mail I've been postponing for 4 days.

Incase I'm wrong and we'll have an apocalyse later on, Best of luck. May the randomness protect you all.

Ramblings of the day.

So, I best not fall back here. So keeping it up.

Don't have much to put in words today.
Been trying to get at #ingress for a while and was prepared to wait until open Beta. but it seems I got lucky, so I'm one of the few invited. And that is something special. I notice loads of people been waiting a month for this, Putting in work hours, like suggesting portals, creating artwork, solving riddles or try to solve them. But alas they are cheated.
I must admit I haven't been shy to vent my frustration over my inability to solve the riddles or even get any headway with them, even if almost presented with the solution. And as a countermeasure I'd been pulling of something that is called a bruteforce attack.

Those of you that don't know what Ingress or Bruteforceattack is:
Ingress is a game google launched November 15th. and it's essentially about capturing/saving the world. It's a game that takes place in the real world, so if you see someone standing close to a cultural monument of sorts, and fiddling with their phone. there's a good chance it's ingress. Try asking them some can be funny.

Bruteforce attack is essentially testing for a pass code.
Say you have a password that is a letter. For me to guess it I would be pretty sure to get it if testing 25 different letters. Just starting with a, b, c.....
Ingress invitation codes are 8 letters, so bruteforcing that would mean I'd test AAAAAAAA, then AAAAAAAB....AAAAAABA, AAAAAABB etc etc. Eventually I'm supposed to hit a correct combination and I'm fairly good at doing a manual task like that until completion.

Maybe people realized that once I'd succeed, I would effectively steal a code from someone else. So giving me a code directly might have been a preventive measure. But I don't really care, I'm in.

Still it puts my hard natured morale compass at work. I know it's not fair for someone. But is it globally fair. The goals justifies the means?
How far should one be willing to damage someone else in order to attain their goals? When does it become unacceptable. What line needs to be cross before it's simply no longer okay to abuse intimate knowledge of the system?

Meeting demands

Hmmm, it seems like that didn't went all to well with the daily updates. I guess I need a bit of time to prepare for "off hours". Even though I'm mostly infront of a computer, I don't always have the time or attention to actually put words togther in a meaningfull manner. Tangable then...

One of the reasons are well kids. Having 3 of them tends to drag me away from everything else loads of the time. another reason is #ingress.
Yea, laugh. But the games seems fun like Turf, and I'm gonna play it when I get in. (Currently seems like i need to bruteforce hack my way into the game, manually).
Third somethings things are happening outside in the real world. places that don't rely on networks ;) These are setting need my attention from time to time.

Trying to do everything all the time often puts me in a form of stress. I'm told that's harmfull, and 2-4 hours of daily sleep isn't enough. But with all the things going on everywhere. How can you sleep. Guess my curious nature will be my ruin some day. Then again it's what's keeping me alive.
I have tried pretty much everything I want to try. I've done everything I wanted to do. I've seen pretty much everything worth seeing.
I'm essentially done... And happy about it. I've completed my tasks for this lifetime.

People around me knowing me and knowing how I deal with stuff, are perplexed as I have a rather mellow reaction to everything. And they don't understand why. The basic reason is that it's nothing new really, if you start boiling it down. The problem you're facing isn't really unique. Some idevidual parameters are unique, but the overall problem and solution is seen before and loads of people could fix it. So if I as the sole "fixer" on the problem should oor would be eliminated, I can be easy replaced, well maybe not easy. Also if I'm elimitated and you can't continue without me, I can't help you anymore. And you will be responsible for drawing apon the teachings I have bestowed on you. Like it or not. End of Line, it's not my problem anymore.

So why keep breathing?
I'm currious of what will happen next. How will things unfold? Will my predictions hold true?
The result is that I'm essentially fearless. As i have nothing to fear. There's nothing that can truely hurt me. Only the things I deside should have the power to cause me harm. And then it becomes something else...

See now I want to put in a motivational quote of the day. I have a few, but won't bother looking for them. maybe tomorrow.

Post redesign

So I've remodeled the blog somewhat, split things into categories of interest. That should make it more easy to  actually land here painlessly:)

As you might notice I don't use pictures and other fancy flashy elements. I use text, and loads of it.
I'll try and keep it down in the future.
Another thing is I tend to poke things that are bugging my mind. Some of these things have been circling in my head for quite a while before I share it with anyone. That makes a lot if my stuff heavy.
I'll try to not dig too deep, but that removes my urge to put anything in text as it's already too light and so on.
Therefore use the comments please, use mail if you don't like being public. I believe I have opened so people can post anonymously, I hate that word. But I understand that sometimes it's prudent not to flash your ID badge when opening your mouth. We all do things we'd rather not, yet don't have the privilege to actually take the battle that comes with disagreement of the establishment.

Also I'll see if i can't get into me more scheduled release plan.
I figure for my project blog and The Eve world a Weekly release is do able, while I might wanna try to get a daily post on the Rambling page. At any rate feel free to comment, I have next to no comments or readers for that matter. I expect that to change over time as long as I simply keep up the consistent posting. So throw me a line, maybe I can improve something and we all like improvements :)
Another thing I'll learn here is to use the saved post system. Which will be a rather interesting experience.
If you didn't know how I write these, and why they are this messy. It's because what i write here is most often from brain to net. I start out having a thread, a point and a context. During my writing I could easily change my mind 2 or 3 times, as the slow speed of typing puts things in a different perspective. Same thing when you have to explain something so humans have a snowballs chance in hell to figure out what I'm saying...
See I'm even doing it right now.

Prober editorial principles would now dictate me to rewrite half of this. Not going to happen.
I've tried it. The result was catastrophically bleak.
What I do seem to have learned is that, now I have some 5 more walls of texts as the one above here, detailing and spinning and going deeper, explaining more and more.

You people don't want me to do that really. You want to tick this post off as "have been read".
I'll try to respect it, and I seem like I need a ending keyword? hmmm. Cool:

  1. Daily posts incoming.
  2. This is all rambling, Eve and projects have moved.
  3. Lighter more reader friendly posts
  4. Commentary is needed for improvement, give me input.
  5. five point lists are 2 points too many :)
