This morning I discovered that I’ve gotten competition for my personal “brand” foolip. I can’t image why anyone would think that foolip is a good name for any commercial endeavor, but anything is possible on the interwebs. I sure hope this is going nowhere or the googleability of myself could be in jeopardy. As a [...]

Impressions of Singapore

I and my girlfriend Nga have just come back from a short vacation in Singapore. At least for me, previous visits have been focused on buying electronics, but this time it was a rather more Chinese experience, reminiscent of our time in Beijing. Our hotel was very close to the MRT (subway) which took us [...]
Kinesiska Slashdot om FRA-lagen
Posted in Nonsense, tagged FRA on July 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Även våra vänner i öst uppmärksammar FRA-lagen i en kort artikel på Solidot med titeln 瑞典的监视法律是针对俄罗斯 – Sveriges spaningslag är riktad mot Ryssland. I korthet säger artikeln att den nya FRA-lagen har skapat stor kontrovers och att regeringen är ovanligt tyslåten om lagens syfte, men att källor inom FRA gör gällande att det är Ryssland [...]

Jag bloggar i exil (efter midnatt i Hanoi) men försöker hänga med så gott jag kan i svängarna.

Följande fråga har jag ställt till alla i vänsterpartiets partistyrelse: Jag undrar hur (v) kommer [...]

Idag skäms jag, skäms över att jag varit för upptagen med jobb, skola och resa för att orka skriva om den nu genomröstade FRA-lagen. Ett enda (privat) mail till moderatfjanten Fredrik Schulte med titeln “Kommunicerar terrorister öppet på Internet?” är det enda jag kunnat uppbåda. Jag lämnade Sverige den 16:e juni och är i Vietnam [...]

This is destined to be the best summer ever! In just a few hours I’m going to the airport and will arrive in Hà Nội (Việt Nam) on Tuesday morning. Last time (in January) I could only stay for two weeks, but this time it’s going to be a full two months together with the [...]

Finally, my thesis is completed and published! It is the product of work I did at Opera Software’s Beijing office last autumn and I have spent a lot of time writing the thesis report and preparing the final presentation. In short, I’ve implemented a fancy type of stroke fonts by building on well-known vector graphics [...]
