Well...

0) welcome to all new subscribers. there have been a few. why don't
you add me on twitter? phikappa's the name.
1) i should integrate this posterous on my webpage, as i should do
with the twitter updates.
2) i never thought there would be a page 2 on this blog. i mean, when
did i have ever taken something so far as to page 2?
3) i started http://spiritof48.wordpress.com and as it looks it is not
something that will reach page 2.
4) i met someone who reminded me of how cool being geeky is and that i
should not repudiate my geekery as much as i do
5) speaking of geekery, my project of transforming my old ipaq 3660
into a online music / last.fm streaming station is still out on the
ocean. phyton is installed and lastfmproxy sort of running, but, alas,
no web interface so far. on my wlan-enabled htc wizard everything is
fine, i hope phyton+lastfmproxy will love the cf wlan card and bind to
an IP address.
5a) installing a semi-actual version of phyton onto a complete enemy
of connectivity like the ipaq (no wlan, no bt, only ir. IR!) is crazy,
but feels warm and fuzzy. still, not surprisingly, i need the wlan
card to make that thing useful.

that's all. for now.

of witty commentaries about world affairs, you'll find
booooring politics. Consider yourself advised. There be
dragons.

Wouldn't it be cool if people just stopped being as stupid and liars
as they are?
Consider the case of the zimbabwean "elections". The UN moved to
declare the elections a farce and illegittimate, only to be stopped by
a South African veto. Reasons given? The "Security Council [is] not in the business of certifying elections".
Ahhhhh COME ON! Why in the world is it a country near Zimbabwe, with a
lot of economic interest there, the only country to feel compelled to
point out the limits on what the Security Council is supposed to do
and what not?
I ask thee, o reader, have they discovered a sudden passion about
formalities? Is this the time to be picky about topics, foremost of
all THIS topic?

I really would feel better if South Africa just stood up and said "Oh,
we know you think Mugabe is bad and he orders all sort of nefarious
stuff and people die because of him, but we do a lot of business there
and well, we sorta like him. We are better off with than without him.
So just shut up criticising him, please? We don't care about dead
politicians over there, we have our abundant share of them, we don't
care if people starve, we only care about our own interest."

It's a position i would exclude them from every international
organisation for, but at least i would respect it.

Instead, they unleash a bullshit bonanza about what the Security
Council is made for. That's like saying "we think that you're all
stupid :)"

And that happens all the time. See Russia and Kosovo, see China and Burma.
I know everyone is going to ejaculate "ohhh but this is politics
stupid!!1!1!". I know. But wouldn't it be cool if, just in these
occasions, everyone would stop to bullshit and speak the truth about
their actions?

(p.s. this is a procrastination post. i really should do something else.)

Right now, i have a HTC Wizard with WM6, a iPod nano 8 gb and a Powerbook.

What i would love? A Macbook and an (old) iPhone. Should i? Should i not?

Pros:
- One device less to carry around
- A faster Mac (with Windows so i can sell my old Acer)
- a Camera that's actually usable
- Would be cool.

Cons:
- Still no UMTS
- None of the devices i currently have is really broken
- Nobody'll buy the powerbook with its shaky screen
- Nobody'll buy the nano 8 gb at the price i would ask (argh)
- ...which leads us to... PRICE!!!! GRRRR!!!!

Well, if the AR project turns out ok, then i will have a serious
thought about it.

Spain's far
better, sometimes they love their passing so much they forget to
actually score, but other than that they're showing great tennis.
Soccer. Whatever.
