Yesterday’s southpark episode was hilarious. The Coon.
During times of great woe and despair, one young person in South Park takes it upon himself to keep order. “The Coon” rises from the gutter and becomes South Park’s sole vigilante..until a rival superhero, “Mysterion” shows up on the scene and challenges “The Coon”‘s right to be a beacon for the townsfolk.
So, who is this Mysterion. Well, take a look and find out.
Well, atleast he earns some points on originality. So- he needs to smoke some more. What’s next?
Something has been bugging me for a while now. People that read this- and feel somehow spoken to- yes this is for you.
When we discuss something on IM. We are in a conversation together. Don’t go out- do something else, join someone elses conversation. It is so incredibly NOT polite!.
I am talking to you- I expect at some point shortly after my peep to get a response from you. Not 5 minutes later, not 10 minutes later. I am waiting for your response!
If you are busy- say you are busy- we will talk later.
Imagine if we talk on the phone and I keep constantly shifting my attention to other people, delay a response by minutes or pretent I am going to say something- but then I don’t..
I hate the ‘is typing…’ feature now because of you. It’s like you are opening your mouth, but not saying anything!
If we schedule a conference on gtalk, that doesn’t mean you can just be late- not introduce yourself. And wonder of without excusing yourself. It’s not polite, it’s f#cking annoying! You are wasting everyones time.
When you are going- say you are going. Change your status to gone atleast- or be polite, and say goodbye.
IM IS communication people. Treat it like so and show some manners.

I just found out about Books at Wikipedia. You can (once logged in) gather articles to create either a pdf or openoffice text by OR have it printed and bound at PediaPress.
Here is one I created- will upload some more later. It’s a starters book about webdevelopment- client side technologies. Download
Doing some experiments with storyboarding for a client with lego’s. Tried not to make it cheezy. Did I succeed?
that Gmail was out more then an hour already. IMAP/POP seems to be working, and that gives me an idea.
I’m about to develop a gmail failsave (and others) that if you cannot reach your inbox from the web, you can use an IMAP/POP connected secundairy website that has the basic features of an inbox (read, write, etc).
What I see is that most apps that support imap/pop are desktop apps. Or Hotmail and Yahoo mail (do those support imap/pop access to other services?) But what about in case of an emergency access need to a inbox using the web?
Will think about that some more and post results.
I absolutely loved this song sang by Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I dugg up some old articles of mine- from my old blog and hubpage. Here is the one I did about getting up early.
I have never considered myself an early riser. I was more of a person to stay in late- later then was necessary. The idea that you get up before the crack of dawn never appealed to me, I also never thought I would be able to…
I mean, why? Well because of the enormous mental energy boost for one, and simple math.If you would normally get up at 7 or 8 for 7 day’s a week and now you would get up at 5, you win 2-3 hours every day. Now that doesn’t seem like much, but it adds up.
3 hours * 7 days = 21 hours…
21 hours * 4 = 84 hours
84 * 12 = 1008 hours a year
Realise that 1008 hours a year is more then 40 full days that you are sleeping away.
The other reason and maybe not as boring as the math reason is that early morning (real early) is a magical time, before most people are up- the air is fresh, the day has not started yet the world outside your window (if your not living in a busy city that is) laid dorment for the night. Birds are singing their first songs and you are probably at your most creative. It’s also perfect to get rid of distractions. No one is their right minds will get up that early to bother you right?
But how to do it? Just do it. It is as simple as that, there is no rocketscience into getting up early- as long as you get out of bed right away, right after that 5 o’ clock buzz…get up..stretch and walk away…do not ever let yourself get into a discussion with the inner you that wants to lay down. Don’t think of reasons to add just another 5 minutes…because the other self will win then. Just wake up- and get up…
Also make sure you have something to wake up to- motivate yourself the day before to get up early. Write down things you want to do and get to them. You will probably find out you will have done all of your work, before breakfast.
Also exercise this early is fantastic for your heart and matabolism if you want to lose weight. You will be energized all day. Don’t drink too much coffee early on…Cuz you’ll crash harder. Drink smaller cups during the whole day…not big shots every now and then. You will probably find out that your body needs to adjust to the weird new schedule…I mean, when it’s 8- your body will think it’s lunchtime…Don’t skip breakfast though..you will need it…Eat smaller bites during the whole day- like coffee…and enjoy that extra month a year.
In addition to the article I wrote I would like to add that, it’s is important to have a real reason to get up early. Like, getting more time with your family- or doing more work (and mostly better work) during the course of a day. Or to do exercise. There is no use in parking yourself in front of the TV at 5 in the morning.
Mozilla labs released a alpha release (or even prototype release) version of Bespin.
Bespin is a Mozilla Labs experiment that proposes an open, extensible web-based framework for code editing that aims to increase developer productivity, enable compelling user experiences, and promote the use of open standards.
Introducing Bespin from Dion Almaer on Vimeo.
Also, Bespin is the ‘cloud planet’ introduced in The Empire Strikes Back.
Anycase, been mucking about in Bespin and it all looks incredibly promising. Hope to be able to run it ‘standalone’ so as not to have any issues with flacky connections.
