Logging machine in the road

This morning on my way to deliver my car to Leon for polishing I was delayed by this logging machine. Not sure what he had done in our neighborhood. Anyhow, not every day I see this on our street, in fact, I have never seen it before.

Here you can see a logging machine in action

Todays spam

I usually get about 10 spam messages in my inbox at work each day. Without reading them I just delete them right away, but today I had to check one of them, because the sender was “Jesus” and the subject was “Call me”. Finally a sign from above??

So I opened the message and had a look, strangely enough, the only thing that Jesus wanted was to tell me that I could win at their cool casino called Sta-pro…could it be fake?

btw: I’m turning 35 today

A rainy day

On Monday I was walking down Karl Johan when the gates of heaven opened and it started raining cats and dogs. Luckily both I and the woman in front of me had umbrellas, but not the guy a bit further ahead. He undressed and with no clothes on his torso he ran towards Grand Hotel.

Beware of MSN-phising

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend when all of a sudden he went off line for a while, then came back online. When he did I received a link to a site {his name}.b4ng.info. The page has a look and feel as the picture shows. I found it a bit suspicious, and did not provide my uid/pwd, but instead tried to google the address. Found nothing that could provide me with more information, so I sent an email to Microsoft here in Norway. Got the response earlier today and they told me to stay away – this is a phising-site. Luckily I’m paranoid!!

I would also suggest if you are able to do it that you block those addresses in your router at home if you have kids using MSN!

Foreign accent syndrome

We where watching the Omid Djalili-show as usual this Thursday evening. He had a joke about a judge having a special problem, he had the “Foreign accent syndrome”. Afterwards he told that it is actually a real syndrome. I looked it up on Wikipedia, read more about it there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_accent_syndrome

To the untrained ear, those with the syndrome sound as though they speak their native languages with a foreign accent; for example, an American native speaker of English might sound as though they speak with a British accent…

Yet another cryptic review

Found this in the latest issue of Ny Tid. Again in Norwegian

Etter Michael Mores suksess har det flommet over av subjektive slentre-foran-kamera-dokumentarfilmer. Debbie Melnyk og Rick Caines På Sporet av M.M er en underlig avart av undersjangeren. Den presenterer seg som en metametodefilm i rekken av filmer som bruker Moores stil mot Moore selv, men ender snarere opp som en ufrivillig iscenesettelse av et skuffet politisk begjær over den potensielle lederskikkelsens manglende messianisme i hverdagen.

WTF?
