Just saw this on Slashdot. Apparently Microsoft is trying to extort the danish government. If you can read danish you can find more information at Børsen.

A few minutes ago Denmark lost to Greece in a world cup qualifier. It sucks….

My dear friend Janus complained about the images in the last post. Apparently they were too big, so I resized them. I could not do much with the bad colors though (well, maybe I could – but I do not want to spend the rest of my life with the GIMP). He is of course right about the size of the images, but HE SAID THAT I HAVE FAT FINGERS. This is a line you just dont cross, especially if you are a short, nearly bald guy :). I’d better get back to the trenches now.

Oh, and in other news my GPU based ray tracer was featured in flipcodes Image of the Day, nice :).

While trying to fix a sudden disk breakdown in my desktop pc I stuck my finger in the fan of my cpu cooler, breaking one of the blades. Yeah, that’s so funny keep on laughing… Done? Anyways, I removed the broken blade leaving the cooler as can be seen in the foto. When I turned the power back on the cooler made a horrible noise. I put a vacuum cleaner to the cooler and found that the loss of the single blade made it completely unstable at high rpms. I was a bit worried that the amount of jumping by the cooler on the old Athlon XP 1800+ processor would kill it. I acquired a new cooler (as seen in the other picture) today and luckily the processor still works, phew. The moral of the story is this; keep your bloody hands away from a fan spinning in excess of 4000 RPM, this goes for man-size fans as well!
