Live from Nørrebrogade:
If pigeons are flying rats, people attending the opening of Bakken must be driving rats.
Another thought: I see why some people use Twitter afterall…

Argh, why didn’t I think of this.
When the police landed on Ungdomshuset, they probably listened to this track by John Holt.
Too obvious. Someone else probably thought of this already. Ah, well…
ComONs redesign giver mig ikke just grund til at ændre mening.
Gider ikke engang besvære mig med et pladsforbrugs-breakdown, blot konstatere at det næppe er det sidste vi har set til stilen “fuck jer, kære besøgende — vi designer videre i lokalblads-stilen og bruger mest plads pÃ¥ ting, der blinker”. Suk.
Stemmens besnærende lege — en forførende aften med hypnose, telefonsex og en erotisk godnathistorie. Don’t miss.
Ikke et sæde vil være tørt, når AUX
præsenterer en audiograf om stemmens besnærende lege
på LAB onsdag den 28. marts. Det skal handle om de stemmer, der
løsner vores kyskhedsbælter og stimulerer vores hemmelige
fantasier. Slip ørernes lyster løs!Først vil hypnotisør Brennan Young tage publikum med
på en rejse i stemmens hypnotiske verden og tale om forholdet
mellem forførelse og hypnose. I begge tilfælde
hensættes vi i en form for trance, hvor vores kritiske
bevidsthed træder i baggrunden til fordel for en mental
fokusering. Stemmen er her en berusende og forførende faktor,
som hvisker ’sweet nothings’ i vores ører, mens
vi mister jordforbindelsen.For at komme i den rette stemning præsenterer AUX i
løbet af aftenen et lydtapet af forførende stemmer i
musikken. Dario Campeottos smørtenor fik vores
bedstemødre helt ud på kanten af stolen, vores
forældre dansede tæt når Jane Birkin og Serge
Gainsborough sang Je T’aime Moi non Plus, men hvad får
amorinerne til at bruse i dag? AUX giver et bud på
forførende stemmer gennem tiden – og modtager gerne gode
forslag!Den forførende sangstemme er også omdrejningspunkt i
værket Aria af den svenske kunstner Håkon Liu. Men det
er ikke blot lytteren, der indfanges af værkets eksalterede
stemmeleje; værkets egen stemme bliver gradvist mere og mere
opstemt. AUX præsenterer Aria – et studie i vokal
orgasme.Det bliver rigtig hedt, når radioproducer Tim Hinman indleder
aftenens anden halvdel med delikate afsløringer fra sin fortid
med telefonsex. 80erne var telefonsexens guldalder, hvor et utal af
orgastisk henførte stemmer ventede bag overtakserede 900-numre.
Tim Hinman åbner døren på klem til telefonsexens
hemmelige gemakker og spiller afslørende eksempler fra en lidt
usædvanlig dag på jobbet.Som et pirrende punktum for aftenen genopliver AUX en lille klassiker
indenfor den vokalbårne erotik, nemlig godnathistorien. I
90erne flød Alex Nyborg Madsens forførende stemme ud i
de små stuer i radioprogrammet Erotica, der altid blev
afsluttet med en oplæsning af en erotisk historie. AUX har til
lejligheden inviteret forfatteren Jens Peter Kaj Jensen til at skrive
en hed novelle, som vil blive vakt til live af en af de mest sexede
mikrofonbidte stemmer lige nu.Audiografen finder sted onsdag den 28. marts kl. 19:30 på LAB,
Vesterbrogade 107b.
Entré: 30 kr. (gratis for medlemmer af AUX)
To af aftenens oplæg vil være på engelsk.

En tanke: Hvis de unge fra Jagtvej virkelig ikke har noget sted at være, hvorfor har de så alle et stort bundt nøgler hængende i karabinhager fra deres militærbukser?
Af switching to a proper iPod supported by last.fm (= not a Shuffle), I’ve been wondering why my stats page didn’t seem to reflect the music I’m actually listening to (95% iPod / 5% laptop). Turns out I hadn’t been logged in for almost a year (found a friend request 250+ days old) — and that I had to adjust my preferences.
See, last.fm uses has iPod submissions on by default…but looks for a playlist named ‘Recently played’. On my Danish OS language Mac, that playlist is called ‘Senest afspillet’. Bummer.
I’ve changed it, hope it’ll work.
I was eagerly awaiting FON’s entry on the Danish market. They even decided (clever move, btw.) to give away a bunch of routers for free instead of spending too much money on traditional marketing.
So I ordered one way before christmas and waited. And waited. And waited some more. Ok, maybe some contact was needed. So I contacted them. Waited. Waited more. Contacted again. And again. The third time, a message in their website from hell (seriously, this is 2007) said they’d been having some trouble and anyone that haven’t heard from them should try again. So I did. More waiting. Still nothing.
I’m not sure if I tried again or if that was the time where I decided to look elsewhere for help. In their forum, it seemed that a FON employee was pretty present. I signed up, hoped that all the complaints about the manual activation from the FON staff were about everyone else but me and hoped for the best.
I still haven’t heard anything. Leaving me with no FON router, apparantly no way — at all — to get in touch with FON. And a pretty bad experience with what was supposed to be their customer support. One thing is their website that is close to useless as they’ve obviously gone for some standard ordering setup that makes it wuite hard to input an address that’ll make sense to the poor delivery guy (which is probably what happened to my router). But it’s far worse that something as simple as an email doesn’t get answered. Come on people, play ball.
If I believed that a second order would be of any help to my situation, I would gladly pay the few dollars a router costs. That’s not the point. The thing is…I don’t. Just as I havent’t been bothered to help my mom get a replacement for the one she actually _did_ receive but appeared to be broken. Too much work…
All this just to say, that even if you do run a successful company that’s probably drowning in logistics and support requests and what have you, ignoring your customers hurt you. Make sure you’re set up properly before opening your doors.
Beta on web apps, sure. Beta on customer support and logistics, no way.
The Vet Made Me Cry

As a long subscriber to the ‘geezer’-tag, I’ve seen my part of geezer-related stuff from the world very-wide web.
This just in: The Vet Made Me Cry.
I can’t figure out if this is a cruel thing to do or a kind gesture to people who love their pets. In any case, the combination of ‘geezer’ and ‘dog’ apparantly isn’t my invention.
Anyway, let’s see if I end up putting my own geezer down this year.. It’s as if time has frozen over there…
Email’s broken

Email’s not working. Use my Gmail if you must communicate with me ono on one.
