When I was a child, and maybe a teenager, too, there existed cheap cinema (movie theatre) matinee tickets. They do not exist any more. There may be the odd children’s movie that is cheaper, but generally, going to the cinema is very expensive, especially if a whole family is going. I really do not go …
I have an assortment of ceramic ware. Some I rarely or almost never use. They are a sort of collection, I guess, memory of travels, or just old times. Some of these are just not of much use to me in daily life, such as hashioki. Some I use more or less daily: dishes, tea …
In the old days there was sometimes said that "This stuff sells itself!". Something many people would buy. Stuff that does not need much advertisment apart from word of mouth. An old need, or a new desire, fulfilled. Of course the stuff does not sell itself, it is sold, but the metaphor police cannot be …
I’ve used both Lubuntu and Xubuntu as second GNU/Linux distro before. The time had come to try out Kubuntu. After all, I am a KDE user. The main Ubuntu with Unity I’ve installed 2-3 times, but I always found it a bit buggy, or behaving strangely. I installed Kubuntu 13.04 in September on a second …
This post is sort of about cooking. One of the things I found in boxes when I moved (see previous post), there were old notes from the academic dimension. All between 20 and 30 years old. Notes from reading books. Some of the books I still own, I think, some I just have notes. While …
I have moved house twice in five months. I am not done with the second yet. Due to condition(s), it will take time. I am still picking up stuff from other places. Some are boxes with stuff that hasn’t really been used for many years. You know, the sort of "Good-to-keep" stuff or "If I …
This is a new post. It was created after the previous post. But before the next post. This post is soon ending. See you next time. It will be post-this-post by then.
Today, as often, I applied the Kajsa Warg principle (see earlier cooking posts). I had frozen (ecologically approved) prawns in the freezer. I also decided that I was going to have rice with them. The rest more or less just happened. The rice was a mix of whole (brown) rice, red rice and wild rice. …
The weather was very fine today, and quite warm. Not much sign of autumn yet, except a slightly cool wind. I had a walk today to a place I’ve never been before. Here’s a view from the walk: It was just a few slow kilometres, but I got exhausted, as usual. It is a thin …
Today it is two years since I started this blog. I am a bit surprised that I actually have kept it going, even if the posting frequency has its ups and downs. It has been two quite difficult years, but I have not mentioned anything very private here. Unless my views reveals something about me …
This post is a follow up of sorts to my previous post. A few days ago, I did a fresh install of the latest snapshot of Debian Jessie/testing. Install went fine. One thing that needs correction, imho, is that choosing English as installation language – which also makes it the system language – forces one …
Wheezy, version 7 of the operating system Debian, was declared the new stable, official, version on May 4th. I use Wheezy as my main system since some time last year. When Wheezy became stable, the testing recieved its new name: Jessie. Which will be the future version 8, when it in its turn become stable …
