Changes!

I have decided to perform some changes. In effect this means moving all the short snippets to their own site, keeping the longer pieces (whenever that happens) on this site.

I will keep it political, technical, humoristic, but not so short and “tweet”-like.

I guess the logical move would be to move those short snippets to twitter, but I am not. Instead, I’m moving them over to one of my oldest sites: hoakz.com. Check it out.

This also means I may not be able to put anything on this site on a weekly basis, but hey! Quality counts too!

Hope you like it!

Catastrophe Alarm the Samsung Way

So, I’m on the phone and it starts vibrating worse than ever, and I’m like: WTF? No indications or “popups” or whatever.

Then when I’m done talking the phone vibrates again, this time accompanied by the patented “worst ringtone ever”:

This time when I check the phone it turns out the Samsung Zone Alarm is warning about “ice and snow” in Stockholm.

That’s great to know, but seriously… THAT RINGTONE?

I mean imagine, people in floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and storms hearing THAT RINGTONE? Can you sue for psychological abuse?

Ok. Snow storms in Sweden are OK if you keep off the roads and you don’t have the bad luck to get hit by something like “Gudrun,” that may, in fact, bring you off the power grid for a couple of weeks (if you live in the more rural parts of Sweden…)
