Two things I really enjoy; Lego and iPods. And now it’s a limited edition art piece as well. And while pretty cool, I’m feeling that maybe the Apple craze has gone a bit over the top. Sure, we keep telling each other that once you get people to talk about your products you’re there, you’ve made it. And we try to sell them weblog solutions to make the dialogue happen and marvel at their coolness. On the other hand, we are supposed to be critical consumers as well — and maybe we’re not doing our selves any favours by worshipping every piece of well-designed plastic to come out of Cupertino. I don’t know..

But, it’s not all fun and games. This cute-looking piece of art might fuel an Apple-craze among some, among others I’m sure it’s just a matter of “yet another black guy stealing some portable playing device and parading it around in a park that used to be ours”.

Den mindste psykiske skavank “ligger nok i generne” og lysten til at skråle med højt og længe, så snart en popsild bræger på en af de utallige kommercielle ‘flade’-orienterede stationer “ligger helt sikkert i generne”, siger man og fniser indforstået og trækker vejret gennem sin Look100. Havde salig Højholt lavet Gitte-monologer i disse dage, ville Susanne nok have fået en tilsvarende forklaring, og vi ville have grint og husket, at den vending skulle man nok holde sig fra, og hvor var det godt set og hvordan kan folk dog også finde på at sige sådan noget vrøvl, det har jo intet med gener at gøre.

Og når bøger om iværksættere, der forhåbentlig indebærer bare en smule opfindsomhed, så bærer titler spundet om dumheder, flagende med sin uopfinsomhed, så synes jeg måske godt lige man kunne…

Anyway, my host understandibly got really tired of having do deal with the MT-fuckers, so he just killed mt-tb.cgi — which seems to be the only decent solution for now. These days, when someone geeky enough to own a server uses the phone to contact you, you know something’s wrong.

What to do? Change of platform, new weapons to fight off the pings of evil?

Instead, check with your operator what GPRS connection point you should really use (it worked with your last phone, but you know what: You probably forgot all about that) and then read the fucking manual for the modem scripts you’ve downloaded.

Sometimes it takes an upcoming 5h trainride to get stuff like that sorted out. Which reminds me: I’m going to Hamburg — something I should check out while there? Hints appreciated.
