Over the Hillary
The old media has been droning on about Hillary Clinton eventually running for President of the USA. As if there are no other candidates in the Land of the Free.
How to lessen the amount of spam on your blog
I have been less active on this blog than ever. I have not given up on writing, I just had lack of energy, due to a bit of downturn in health. I sometimes check for eventual comments and also erase spam. The best way to get rid of spam in comments is of course to …

Winter is coming 5: Defrost

There are many published in Russian, and some originals in other languages, but translations are few so far. In Swedish there are currently four of them.

Last night we went from summer savings time to standard time. A pretty daft system if you ask me, but I am not going to rant about that. One mnemonic for the problem of turning a clock backwards or forwards one hour is that "when you put BACK your outdoor furniture to indoor storage is …
