ARRGGGHH!!!
i´m gettting fucking mad here!!
i got an e-mail from my boss a couple of days ago (in swedish, but i´ll try to translate to english further down):
"Vi har alldeles för mycket köer, vi tappar alldeles för många samtal och vi måste öka antalet besvarade samtal per person omedelbart.
Det finns tusen anledningar till allting som teknikstrul sjukdom osv men det spelar fan ingen roll vi måste få bättre fart.
Samtalstiderna är ok men tiderna mellan varje samtal är det inte, om det är kö så går det inte att sitta med en request eller liknande saker, lägg eländet på hög och ta nästa samtal, köer på 3,4,5 minuter är inte ok.
Vi måste få upp effektiviteten nu, om annat blir lidande så får vi lösa det efterhand (tar gärna emot förslag), men från nu:
TA NÄSTA SAMTAL!!! Är det kö så skit i allt annat!!!"
in english:
"We have way to long queues, were losing to much calls and we have to rise the number of answered calls on each person.
There are a thousand reasons for anything like technique failure sickness
and so on, but that dosen´t fucking matter we have to raise the speed.
The conversation times are ok but the times between each call is not, if it is queue you can´t sit with a request or similar things, put the damn thing on a pile and take the next call, queues that are on 3,4,5 minutes are not ok.
We have to get the effectivity up now, all else will be suffering so we have to fix that afterwards (i will gladly take suggestions) but from now on:
TAKE THE NEXT CALL!!! Is it queue so fuck anything else!!!"
and then our so called "Supervisor" sen out an e-mail (first swedish then english):
"Ledningen har under de senaste veckorna bevakat våra prestationer och vår verksamhet och kommit fram till att vi har på tok för långa köer och väntetider!
Jämförelsevis med det som har presterats av de "gamla" ligger vi hästlängder efter.
Nu köper de inte ens argumentet om att vi är för få, för då vi startade var vi bara 19 och nu är vi några fler men kötiderna har inte minskat i förhållande till hur många vi är som svarar och hur många det är som ringer.
Våran ledning "knorrar" nu. (Våran chef försöker nu poängtera allt strul med datorer och telefoner som vi har haft de senaste veckorna..."
in english:
"The executives have under the last few weeks watched our performance and came to that we have far to long queues and waiting lines!
Compared to what the "old place" achieved we are miles after.
Now they won´t buy the argument that we are to few, because when we started we was only 19 and now we are a couple more but the queue times haven´t decreased in proportion to how many we are now and how many that are calling.
Our executives are complaining now. (our boss is trying to point out all the trouble had with the computers and the phones the last weeks..."
Then the same person wrote in a another e-mail (and first in swedish and then english):
"Kunder kommer att bli lidande, men det får vi ta i efterhand och försöka på bästa sätt "plåstra över" med ett gott humör eller nåt."
in english:
"Customers will be suffering, but we´ll have to take that at a later time and take "care of it" with good mood or something."
....
This is fucking crazy!!! WE ARE DOING OUR BEST HERE!! And the "old place" that is mentioned in the letter is where they had their call center earlier, and they had been working there for 14 FUCKING YEARS, and we have been working for 6 months!!
To add more to the fire:
They, on the "old place", got a proper education of 6 months BEFORE they started taking calls!
We, on the "new place", didin´t get a proper education at all! All we got was a training on a old booking system that wasn´t updated AT ALL since like 1998 or earlier!! We sat with that system for like 1 ½ month and then we started to take calls.
How the HELL CAN THEY EVEN THINK IN THAT WAY!! What the fuck!! Are they fucking morons!!!!
It´s like comparing night and day!
And taking "care of it" with good mood or something!! What the fuck is up with that?? Our customers won´t settle with good mood or something!!
This is so fucking stupid!! As you all can tell i´m pretty angry here. And with all right as i see it.
As i wrote earlier we NEVER got a proper education and we are compared to people that first of all got a education and then have been working with this for 14 years!!
....
other things that has been happening?? well not much...
i nowadays rarely find time to play CoD online (i´m too tired after work).
i missed out on the laundry day i had booked like 2 weekends ago so had to book a new one...
i saw the movie "The Jacket" a couple of days ago...strange movie, but not that bad, just a wierd ending...gotta see it again to grasp it.
summertime is creeping closer and closer...feels nice...
but what dosen´t feel that nice is that i haven´t met my friends in a while...miss going out and having fun. gotta call them more often.
....

"down in a hole"
today when i came to work i was feeling fine, Kent (a Swedish pop band) was gonna play live today and i was thinking of going there.
first call:
"-hi, i was wondering if it possible to deliver a car in great britain?"
"-witch day?"
"-this sunday, the 15:th"
"-well, that can be a bit of a hassle since we need to make the car reservation on request"
"-ok, and how long does that take before they answer it?"
"-up to three work days"
"-can´t you call them now?"
"-i can try, but i can´t promise anything"
....
and so i tried to call the station, no answer, and and while i was trying to reach them other people called and asked about deliverys and meet late arrivals at other impossible (well nearly) stations...
but after ALOT of work i finally got everything sorted (unusual)...
until that guy called me from Italy...*sigh*
i´m not gonna go through the whole thing but just so you´ll get the idea:
he had rented a car in Italy and then drove a couple of miles (10+ actually) to the place he wanted to go and stopped there cause the car had some really wierd noices from the clutch. he thought it would break down any minute.
so he wanted a new car and he wouldn´t go back to the station where he rented it cause he didn´t wanna drive there with that car (understandable) so he had asked the station manager if there was any station close by where he could get another car from.
there was one station, but they didn´t had that particular car size he had rented, BUT they had smaller cars that he could borrow and go back to the original station and there get the new car.
but nooo, that´s not good enough!! he wanted the car delivered to him (10+ miles!!!) NO FUCKING WAY is that possible for us! not in a such short notice.
we (the company i work for) said that he could take a taxi to the nearest station and take the car from there and we would stand for the cost of the taxi ride, BUT ONLY to the nearest station.
nope that´s not good enough either.
so i hassled, and worked, and called Italy and the Swedish HQ about how we where supposed to manage this situation...i wasted about 3 hours on him, and that´s NOT even MY JOB!!! i´m not supposed to do such things!!
my job is to make reservations, not be a freakin´ help service of somekind!!
i have no idea how it worked out for him cause i said to him that i had given him the choices we (the company) could offer him, and if that´s not good enough, well there´s not much i can do.
....
by this was over i was hungry and i was late for lunch, and i wasn´t in the mood for seeing Kent live anymore.
the day went on and 5 mins. before i was cloing down i got another customer that was a bit of a struggle to get trough...in the end i ended 20 mins. after i was supposed to...
*sigh*
....
yesterday i was gonna burn out some stuff i have on my harddrive. i made folders and everything and made it ready for burning.
put in a empty DVD disc and was gonna start burn when my burning program asked me to put in a empty DVD disc...i thought that the disc was empty so i just put in another one...nope didn´t work.
i tried with another burning program...no luck...
now apparently the burner had gone FUBAR completely.
so there goes a couple of hundred swedish krons for a new one...
....
and on top of this i haven´t been able to play any online CoD with me mates the Swedish Meatballs.
i haven´t got the time to play almost any game this week. have been to tired when i come home from work.
somedays i have even been to tired to fix dinner.
....
well, now i´m gonna watch some tv or play some CoD or whatever...
see ya!

Yeeehaaaa!!
"Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don’t like it
So were getting up and going down
Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it’s best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
So don’t you be around
Don’t you be around
Tonight there’s gonna be trouble
Some of us won’t survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin’ out dead or alive
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
So don’t you be around
Tonight there’s gonna trouble
I’m gonna find myself in
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend
You know it’s safer
Breakout!
Tonight there’s gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don’t you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long
Searchlight on my trail
Tonight’s the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin’ female
Come here!
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
So don’t you be around
Tonight there’s gonna be trouble
I’m gonna find myself in
Tonight there’s gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend"
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Tomorrow i´m gonna go see P-Floyd setting up their version of The Wall!!! YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!
Fuckin´ yeeeah!

"twinkle twinkle little star..."
he he, kinda stupid topic i know...
but a star twinkled above me and helped me out with the locked sim card (read this post)...
what the h*ll, do you mean you´re thinking now...
as i wrote in the old post i was sure i had the old papers with the codes in my storage room...that was my twinkling star...
i cleaned the house today and then went to search in my basement for the papers.
i dived in my boxes and starting to look, i had a pretty good idea where i had put it so i kinda knew where to look.
and there in it´s all glory it was, the 10+ old papers(!!!)
i rushed back to my apartment and turned on the cell phone and punched in the original PUK code and made a new sim code....
and it WORKED!!!! YEEESSS!! now i finally have access to my old sms messages again, quickly i took away the pink card check for that sim card if i wanted to go back in there.
....
so how is it with the grrlfriend??
she´s fine, she is still a bit sick, but she went to the doctor and he wanted to take a blood sample to really find out what it is.
but he didn´t think it was something dangerous.
ok, i don´t have time to write more now.

if my baby would go away...
You kill for
revenge.
That is because you have lost something or
someone you held very dear. Now you can't seem
to get over the loss that marked your soul, and
the only solution is to go after the one person
who brought all this pain to you. Chances are
you are angry inside and you bottle everything
up and don't talk to anyone about it. People
may want to help, but you think that they can
never understand your pain and only get
frustrated because of this. But it is important
to see all that you have left and be thankful
of that even if you have lost something great.
It may not be true that Times heals all wounds,
but with time and talking about your feelings,
maybe the hurt will ease.
Main weapon: Yourself

reality but not to memories" -Stainslaw J.

"f-fu-fuc-fuck-fuck!"
damn, why have life turned this way for???
it started with my girlfriend going to Sinai desert and got sick. she still dosen´t know what´s wrong, but she´s going to a doctor today.
then my life hit the shitty fan...
my cell phone won´t let me send messages to her, it used to work perfectly but now all of a sudden it has fucked up.
i called up the company i have my subscription with and they sent me a new sim card to see if that was the problem.
it wasn´t...
2 days ago i sat down to change sim card, and transfer the phonebook and old messages from the old sim card to the new one.
the phonebook went smoothly, but when i changed sim card again to start transferring the messages i forgot what sim card i had in the phone and punched in the wrong PIN code 3 times, and then the sim card (old one) was locked...
i went to one of the company stores this company has and asked them if they could help me...and here is one mystery..
she punched in the PUK code (a long code that lockes up if the sim code has been locked), and the phone asked me to punch in a new code, so i did.
but when i pressed in the code the second time it just said "Wrong code"(!!!)
they had no idea how that would be like that...
i asked them if maybe they have the old PUK code for the old sim card somewhere in their systems. they didn´t...
i´m pretty sure i still have the old papers with the PUK code somewhere in my basement, but i don´t know where(!!!)
so this weekend i´m going to dedicate to cleaning and looking for those damn papers.
for these last couple of weeks (like 2 or 3 weeks now) i have been eating alot of pasta for lunch and for dinner.
and now i have a lump in my throat that irritates me, it feels like i haven´t been able to swallow something right down. and for some days ago i felt a pain in my chest.
i think it´s because of that i have been eating too much pasta lately...??
the problem was just that i had no idea what to make for dinner or for lunch.
some days i end work late and don´t feel like going shopping for food, even though i sometimes must.
at the store i don´t know what to buy and so i just think that pasta and some meatballs or something else will do fine...
when i come home i am usually very tired and i don´t feel like starting to make dinner or lunch.
so i just take some pasta and fry something to that...
.....
but from today i´m gonna try to eat more diffrent...
i bought a salad today, nope it´s not pasta salad , it´s greek salad...
well, gotta work some now.

"Why does it always rain on me?"
tuesday and i´m back at work...
feeling a bit depressed. why??
well it started this weekend when my girlfriend went to the doctor to find out why she was feeling so weak and had bruises...
the doctor said it might be a parasite in her that came from the visit in the Sinai desert.
on saturday (or was it sunday??) she called me and she was really weak, and she said she was going to sleep and i was really worried about her. i didn´t want her to sleep alone. but she didn´t have a choice.
i was became worried and depressed on sunday night, i felt that i couldn´t go to work at all.
on monday morning i felt a bit better, but still decided to stay at home. i wanted to be able to call my girlfriend and hear her voice to hear that she´s ok.
she called me up on monday afternoon and she was feeling alot better, but i was still depressed because i also had some bad dreams.
monday night the bad dreams came back...
the dream isn´t like the regular nightmare, it´s more like...i don´t know how to explain so i´ll just explain my dream.
but before i do that i have to give a bit of background to you readers.
....
before i started this work i´m at now i was working in a kiosk, you know a little store that sells beverages, magazines, candy, buss tickets...and so on. this kiosk company has alot of stores here in Sweden.
i had been in that company for almost 3 years and i liked my job. i had been working in many diffrent stores around Gothenburg.
and one day the cheifs decided to make the companies into franchises.
so i had to move around from store to store, it became harder and harder for me to find work. many of my old co-workers quitted for other jobs, but after some time i found a store that wasn´t on franchise, and it was undecided when it was supposed to go out on the franchise thing.
i had such luck there since some of my old co-workers was working there, and i was starting to enjoy the place.
and one day comes this bitch (and i really do mean bitch) and saying that she is gonna take over the store.
i have heard some rumors about her, but i decided not to listen to them (witch i would regret later) and signed a contract with her.
almost directly after she took over the problems started, she changed the routines without saying anything to us workers(!!)
she started to complain about me, how i did this wrong and how i did that wrong...when i all i tried to do was to make things right as i have learned over the years.
and one day after about 1 or 2 months she called me into her office and she accused me of stealing(!!!!!) and fired me.
i don´t have to say that i was of course innocent, but she said she had evidence.
and if i would talk to the union she would drag me into court.
she said that if i didn´t say anything she wouldn´t say anything to anyone.
after a mess of papers (with the union to get un-employment funding) and with the un-employment office i finally got free from her.
2 weeks after this incident a old co-worker called me up and asked me what the hell was going on. she had talked to her boss and that person had been in a meeting with other franchise owners and amongst other the bitch was there and she told the other bosses what happened(!!!)
....
i still feel very bad about what happened, and i really really hope that all the store she has will burn in hell!!
yes i do mean hell! i HATE her, i din´t think there is anyone else on this planet i hate as much as her...well my aunt i hate too...
i have been planning on getting back on her, but i have no idea (yet)...
everyday when i go to work i see that god damned store and i´m reminded of the time...
....
anyway, back to the dream.
i dreamt that i was back in the store working, worrying when she would come and complain that i did everything wrong according to her.
i know i shouldn´t let this get to me, but sometimes it does, and it wakes up bad memories.
i had been working there for over 3 years!
"why didn´t you go to the court with this then??" you might wonder. it decided not to cause i just wanted to lay it all behind me.
move on.
the time when i tried to get the papers straight (to get un-employment funding) i had to go to her to get some papers signed by her, and that made me feel really bad.
so i thought that i wouldn´t have the energy to go through it in court.
yes, i do sometimes regret i never did, but i try to let it go. it´s in the past now.
....
but amongst this sad story is a happy story(!!)
i found a cool Call of Duty modification. it´s called German Front Mod.
it contains new maps, new sounds to the weapons, modifications to the weapons and so on...
it is awesome! i´ve been playing it for 3 days now. sure it has some bugs in it, but still it is very playable!
i really recommend it to you all CoD fans! OBS!! you need the United Offensive expansion pack to play this mod.

after a mess of papers (with the union to get un-employment funding) and with the un-employment office i finally got free from her.
2 weeks after this incident a old co-worker called me up and asked me what the hell was going on. she had talked to her boss and that person had been in a meeting with other franchise owners and amongst other the bitch was there and she told the other bosses what happened(!!!)
....
i still feel very bad about what happened, and i really really hope that all the store she has will burn in hell!!
yes i do mean hell! i HATE her, i din´t think there is anyone else on this planet i hate as much as her...well my aunt i hate too...
i have been planning on getting back on her, but i have no idea (yet)...
everyday when i go to work i see that god damned store and i´m reminded of the time...
....
anyway, back to the dream.
i dreamt that i was back in the store working, worrying when she would come and complain that i did everything wrong according to her.
i know i shouldn´t let this get to me, but sometimes it does, and it wakes up bad memories.
i had been working there for over 3 years!
"why didn´t you go to the court with this then??" you might wonder. it decided not to cause i just wanted to lay it all behind me.
move on.
the time when i tried to get the papers straight (to get un-employment funding) i had to go to her to get some papers signed by her, and that made me feel really bad.
so i thought that i wouldn´t have the energy to go through it in court.
yes, i do sometimes regret i never did, but i try to let it go. it´s in the past now.
....
but amongst this sad story is a happy story(!!)
i found a cool Call of Duty modification. it´s called German Front Mod.
it contains new maps, new sounds to the weapons, modifications to the weapons and so on...
it is awesome! i´ve been playing it for 3 days now. sure it has some bugs in it, but still it is very playable!
i really recommend it to you all CoD fans! OBS!! you need the United Offensive expansion pack to play this mod.

Kexchoklad
weekend...
it´s saturday and i´m sitting alone (well, that´s if you count out my cat (the Kah-Loolie Kathan)) and i bored.
i don´t know if i wanna watch a movie or if i´m gonna play a game or wtf. i´m gonna do right now.
my girlfriend decided to go to the sinai desert for a couple of days. the way she describes the place it sounds cool. i wanna go there too!
she said where going there next time i´m going down to her, i gonna hold her to that ^.^
been doing today? except fiddling about with the computer and CoD (as always)...well, not much i guess.
i saw Friday and CB4 last night, 2 gangsta comedys.
i´ll post the links to IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase) site in "links of intrest" if you wanna read what they are about.
i can promise you that they are funny and cool.
what else, what else...
i went online to play a bit of Battle For Europe (CoD) today. but i got so sick of a stupid moron that was on my team that complained all the time of how i was playing so left after like 1 hour or less.
he was like "- keep your head down!! oooh...*deep sigh* (like "you are a stupid moron sigh")
wtf. is up with that?? we had to get rid of our enemies so i went forward, and threw a couple of grenades and hoping to get one or 2 of them, and that guy is complaining all the time!!
stupid idiot, who the f*ck does he think he is??
anyway so i got sick of that and i don´t know if i´ll play again, just because of that moron!
i could change side, currently i´m on the "Allied" side, and there is a "Axis" side too.
but for now, i think i´ll stick with Meatballs clan, they are really nice ppl. that don´t complain on your gaming style.
....

i forgot to to write a really strange thing, my ending quote "End of line Dillinger" is from the movie Tron, i use it because i think it´s better than "To be continued" or "The end" or something else...aaanyway, so i watched the movie a couple of weeks ago on DVD.
and i the end of the movie the "evil" computer "says"/writes "End of line Dillinger", but in this version it never did(!!!)

"Miranda, that ghost just isn't holy anymore"
i´m baack!
what can i say, i´m sorry that i haven´t updated the blog for a *cough cough*...couple of days...
i have been very busy with work since our phone system went crazy and connected way too many people, and it went down.
at home i have been busy signing up for Battle For Europe ( Battle for Europe/Call of duty ) and training with the mates from The Swedish Meatballs ( Swedish Meatballs CoD clan ).
but like 3 days ago something happened...my TS (teamspeak, the system i use to communicate with the mates at Meatballs during CoD games) went crazy and couldn´t connect me, and for the last 2 days i haven´t been able to connect to the Swedish Meatballs Server.
in other words, i haven´t been able to play CoD online since like 2 days ago(!!!)...*sigh*...
i have no idea what is wrong with the TS and CoD.
maybe it´s just the server the games are on is offline when i try to connect or maybe it´s just my usual luck...
....
what else has happened?
well, i got 2 lottery tickets from my mom for easter present...i wont 50 SEK (Swedish Krona)!! yay!! i usually never win anything at those damn lottery tickets!
what else...hmm, well the spring is here i Gothenburg. some days it´s nice and warm (like +15 Celsius or more). so that´s really nice.
i misscalculated my bills this month so i don´t have that much money to live off as i thought i would have.
the P-Floyd concert is coming closer every day(!!)...in case i haven´t mentioned it, P-Floyd is a swedish Pink Floyd cover band that are really good!
they will set up The Wallin Stockholm in may...i´m going there to see it in the first weekend of may (7:th of may).
i talked to a friend that has seen this show and he said that i won´t be disappointed. *excited*
....
what else...what else...oh yeah!
i discovered a new cooool band!
they are called The Mars Volta, they just released their new album "Frances The Mute". i can really really really recomend it! it´s an awesome album.
if you like Led Zeppelin i think you will like them.
they have released a video and a single for their great song "The Widow".
i got the title of this blog post from one of their songs.
....
well, don´t know what to write so i´ll post some cool links...
The Comatorium 3.0 <<-- A cool The Mars Volta fan page.
Nice comic strip in swedish, this guy is just like me ^.^
Pfrrrrth! Some funny comics about Anti-Piracy in sweden.

The Mars Volta
....
On the tram today i saw a young couple kissing...it reminded me of the time when my baby was here with me.
Me and the loolie misses you.
....
I know i have been talking about re-designing my webblog in the beginning, and so far not much has happened.
It´s just because i´m afraid that i´ll loose all i have written here and that i have not much of a idea of how i want it to look like.
But the easter is coming up so i´ll have some days off and i´ll hope i can get my ass off and start to look into some nice design.

"big in japan"
i know, i know, i know i haven´t posted anything for a loong time here.
i´m sorry for that.
why? you ask?
i just had to much to do this week.
on monday the system went all crazy (or should i say the people in Sweden) cause it seemed as everybody was intrested in renting a car.
we had all of a sudden huge queue´s (people where waiting for almost 20 minutes sometimes). we (me and my co-workers) where used to more like 5 mins. queue or 10 mins. at the top.
and of top of all alot of people where sick or just not there for other reasons.
and because i had alot of people to take care of and late meetings i never got myself to write a new entry here, i thought of it often, but i never found the time or the energy.
at wednesday we had a meeting, i ended at 16.00 and the meeting started at 18.00...*sigh* 2 hours of nothing to do...
today (friday) we had another meeting (again), and i ended 16.00 today aswell, and there where also 2 hours of nothing to do.
the meeting at wednesday was kinda boring, it was all figures of how much we had sold and looking at previous years.
but the meeting today was more intresting since we had a guy coming all the way from the USA to us.
he told us of what they offer to their customers in the USA and so on.
we had some "competitions" too...and i won a red fleece jacket with my company logo on it (i rarely win so yay for me!)
then we went out to eat at Hard Rock Cafe here in Gothenburg.
i haven´t been before, so i didn´t know what to expect.
it looked kinda cool, kinda how i would imagine a Hard Rock Cafe would look like.
we got the food we had ordered (i had ordered baby back spare ribs with french fries), it looked really good, and it tasted good too...in the beginning.
after like 6 or 7 ribs the taste was starting to feel kinda yucky. i discovered it wasn´t that good at all.
my co-workers who had ordered chicken with mashed potatoes was really disappointed too, apparently it didn´t taste anything.
we had ordered dessert too, i had ordered some kind of ice cream sundae.
i looked good...until i tasted the "ice cream" and the whipped "cream".
the "ice cream" didn´t taste very good at all, it tasted cheap, very very cheap
and so did the whipped "cream" too.
my friends had ordered brownie with "alot of ice cream"...
apparently "alot" to the people at Hard Rock Cafe have a strange defining on what "alot" means.
all the ice cream they got was a small litte ball(!!!), and a brownie that tasted like regular chocolate cookie that you can buy in a regular store.
adding to all this the food for expensive, how expensive it was i don´t know since my company payed for it all (luckily).
so all in all:
Hard Rock Café in Gothenburg, Sweden gets a rating:
1+ (maybe a weak 2) (where 1 is the worst and 5 is the best).
the food was really really bad, and the volume was too high. you come there too eat good and want to have a nice time.
not to eat crappy cheap made food and have to (almost) scream to be heard when you are talking to your friends.
....
i don´t remember if i wrote about my grapichs card problem, that i couldn´t get any colour when i connected my PC to my TV.
anyway, i couldn´t. i tried with new drivers and all, but nothing worked so i talked to the store and they saied that i needed a S-VHS to Composite converter since my tv can´t understand that signal
i bought a cable today and tried it...and voilá! i now have colour! yay!
finally i can see all the movies i have on my PC!
....
it almost 02.30 and i need to go to bed and sleep some.
well, thanx for tuning in!

"Green machine"
hey ho, lets go!!
my home PC is back and running again! yaay!!
the solution?? i bought a new grapichs card.
it´s a Leadtek Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT 128 Mb.
....
what else has been happening...well not much...
i have now installed the kick ass game Half Life 2 on my PC and as i said it kicks ass!
if you played it you know what i mean.
if you only played the first game (witch is one of the best games for the PC) you defenitly should look up Half Life 2 now!
....
yesterday i saw that the new Kent album "Du & Jag Döden" leaked out to the internet.
is due to be released on tuesday, in a limited edition (9000 ex.) and of course the regular edition.
there will be a limited edition on vinyl too (only 1500 copies).
"who´s Kent?" you might say.
well Kent is a swedish pop band that is very, very popular in sweden, and for a good reason too, they are great.
they have made 6 albums (and 2 of them are available in english too).
their best song so far, according to me is 747, available on the album "Isola". i prefer the swedish version, but you can get that album in english too.
anyway, they are gonna release their next album on this tuesday, the 15:th of march.
i´m thinking of buying the limited edition version.
....
hmm...don´t know what to write...
if someone out there has a new cellphone that you wanna get rid of you can send it to me, i "need" a new one! *lol*

"500"
damn, damn, damn & damn again!!
i have destroyed my grapichs card...it seems like that anyway.
i talked to a service man at the store where i bought the Zalman graphics card cooler and he suspecs that the card has broken down...
i looked around for a new card, and asked in the CoD clan i have joined about a card...and they found one for around 1900:- skr (swedish krona)...
there seems to be no way out of this so i lucky me i had some money saved...
but still it feel so unnecessary...well i always learned the hard way.
*** end of line dillinger ***
yeah i know this was a short blog entry today, but i have nothing to say...
sorry but no links of intrest...but a nice pic that kinda describes my cat:

"Gorgar will eat you..."
as i wrote yesterday my winterjacket broke down (it was the zipper that was the guilty one), so i had to buy a new one.
luckily i ended early at work yesterday so i could go into town and do a bit shopping without being home so late.
i headed for the nearest sports store (since i know that they still have sale on the winterjackets), in the first store i found way to expensive, and way to thin jackets.
so onto the next one...
and there it was in all it´s green glory!
a McKinley...
i was my size (for once), and it looked good on me too (what a lucky day!), it was thick and nice.
the price...well...900:- skr (swedish krona).
that might sound expensive, but look at it this way, it was half price(!!), so i used to cost 1800:- skr(!!).
so i think it was kinda cheap...well kinda...
i asked the cashier girl to put it away for later, so i could check if there was any other jacket i could find...
i looked in 2 or 3 more stores, but no jacket i tried was as good as the McKinley...
i even found a jacket for 497:- skr and i hade store credit for 200:- skr, so i would only pay 297:- skr for it, but i didn´t felt like the McKinley.
in the end i bought the McKinley jacket, i couldn´t resist the power of it ;-P
....
i want to give a biiig hug and huuge kiss to my girlfriend for letting me play CoD yesterday.
we were talking and all of a sudden i remembered that it was a special match night last night on the clan server.
i asked her if it was ok, and she said yes.
babe you´re the best!!
l o v e y o u!
....
in case you were wondering what was so special about last nights CoD game was that it was a so called "Mary Poppins" night.
the gravity in the game was almost zero, and that means that you can "fly" in the game.
the rules are:
[-X-] you aren´t allowed to kill from the ground, you had to get "airborne".
[-X-] you aren´t allowed to shoot people that aren´t airborne, but you are allowed to kill people on the ground with grenades.
it sounds wierd without the gravity, and i can tell you that it was a bit hard in the beginning to get airborne and not getting stuck in houses and such.
but it was really fun! i can really recomend it to you people who are playing around the world.
....
sooon the new Q.O.T.S.A. (Queens Of The Stone Age) album will be out! i found a leaked copy and i have been listening to it for a while and it sounds good!
not as good as the "Rated R" album (witch is almost a masterpiece in my ears), but it´s good!
well now it´s time for lunch...
*_* end of line dillinger *_*
luckily i ended early at work yesterday so i could go into town and do a bit shopping without being home so late.
i headed for the nearest sports store (since i know that they still have sale on the winterjackets), in the first store i found way to expensive, and way to thin jackets.
so onto the next one...
and there it was in all it´s green glory!
a McKinley...

"Seven nation army"
yippie kay yay!
as i wrote yesterday aboot my graphics card, the fan on it was broken and i had to find a way to fix it.
i went to a computer store where i usually buy my PC stuff and bought the Zalman ZM80-HP thingy (see previous blog about link to it).
i came home and begun to replace the fan...
what i didn´t know was that i needed acetone or alchohol to remove the cooling pasta (or what´s it called)...did i have any acetone or alchohol at home?? nope, well i have alcohol but not the kind i can use for that purpose ;-P
anyway, i went out to get some, and after a while i found it at my usual grocery store.
came home and started with mounting the pieces and all that.
Zalman are gonna have a big applause for their good manual on how to mount this thing. it was really good!
but one thing was really bad...the cooling pasta tubes where to small and it seemed that 50% of the tube contained air.
finally after like 2 hours of mounting i was finished with it all.
i put it in and booted up the PC and tried to play a movie & play some games, and it all worked fine.
now i feel ready to onto more difficult thingys :-D
....
otherwise not much has happened...except that my winter jacket broke down so i have to buy a new one...*sigh*
and i got to know that my girrlfriend will be coming here in a couple of months (yaaah hoooh!!).

() Kaizers Orchestra ()
damit!! my luck seems very far right now...
i was at my brother this weekend (that´s why i haven´t written anything lately), and i came home yesterday (sunday) and i was as usual.
my cat was hungry, the apartment was a mess...
so i gave the cat some food and cleaned up a bit of the mess and turned on the PC.
i started up some downloads and was heading for the shower...
but before i went in there i wanted to take a last look at my programs to see if it started to download or not, and i couldn´t get the screen to work at all(!!!).
i unplugged the screen from the PC and put it back in again, but nothing worked.
i tried a couple of other things but nothing worked at all, so the only thing left to do was to reboot the PC.
the PC booted up again and i got my program to work after a little while and could head for the shower...
....
i saw that "Panic Room" was to be aired on the telly. i haven´t seen it before and i felt that i didn´t wanna sit infront of the PC the whole night.
...i loaded up with beverage, chips & candy...and the movie started, and by the first commercial break (after about 15-20 mins.) i was bored so i thought that i could watch a movie i had on my harddrive instead.
i fixed up everything and started the movie...and that´s where everything started to go really really bad...
(i have hooked up my PC to my TV so i can stream movies from my PC on my TV, it´s really good to have like that, and it works really good for me.)
anyway, the picture was really really bad, it was messed up (i had checked the quality of the movie earlier so i knew it was good).
i was kinda irritaded since my PC had been messing with me earlier this day, and i didn´t feel like "fighting" with the PC, i just wanted to sit down and watch a movie.
i opened the PC casing and took a look at the grapichs card and noticed that the fan didn´t spin at all(!!)
i took out the card and decided that i´m gonna go to a store and see what they can do.
i have seen a grapichs card cooler made by Zalman (ZM80-HP) that seems kinda intresting...
i´ll see what happens...i just hope it won´t be too expensive...

"lucky star"..or??
last night i was working on the webblog. i was trying to put up a counter some other things.
the counter had been there since the start but the other thing (some kind of traffic upgrade thingy) i just found, but apparently i just didn´t want to work correctly.
if i put in the counter the traffic thingy just didn´t want to stay there. if finally figured it out how to get both of them there and updated the webblog...
...and something strange happened...
i use to 99.99% the Firefox webbrowser nowadays. i think it´s much much better than the Explorer. only thing i have problems with is Quicktime, but i very rarely use it so i don´t care that much.
anyway, when i had updated my webblog and checked it out it looked very very strange to me. the background was now "split up", it was black "stripes"(!!).
something was very wrong...maybe it was the javascript code...so i tried to take it away and updated the webblog again. it looked fine in the preview and so updated again and hoped it would work out.
it didn´t(!!)...what to do, what to do...
i tried several time of cutting away the javascript and updating again, but no, i didn´t work at all.
and i got tired of all the crap and thought that i can always paste in the template again. a little window appeared that said something like "all your changes will be lost...".
i thought that it was just the changes i made, like if i wanted people to be able to post comments and e-mail my blogs to other people.
i pressed the ok button and...
...apparently i was very very wrong.
all i had written in my blog so far was gone(!!!)
the time was around 23.30 (i think) and i was tired, i had to get up at 06.00 next morning so felt i didn´t have time to fix it.
i checked around the settings and found out after a while that my old blog was still there.
Blogger.Com had made a backup of my old blog (*puh*)...lucky me.
now i finally could go to sleep.
....
next morning the alarm rang at 06.00, but i didn´t manage to get up before 06.30.
while i was eating i checked the temperature outside and froze still...
the meeter said:
-13.8 Celsius(!!!)
i´ve been living in Gothenburg for over 5 years and this is by far the coldest i´ve seen!
really tired i managed to get some breakfast and left the house at 07.30 (yeah, it was a bit late).
when i got to the tram station i found out that there was a stop because a tram had some problems (not a big surprise though). so i thought that i had to wait for like 5-10 mins. or so...
yeah riiight...i waited for surely 15 freezing mins. before a tram came...and that one was filled with people so i couldn´t get in.
and i waited for about 10 more mins. before the next tram came, i crammed my way in there and was finally on my way to my work.

"...since i don´t have you..."
and all of a sudden it´s Wednesday (!!), woke up this morning and was thinking what day it was...was it Tuesday or Wednesday...??
i slowly came to mind it was Wednesday..."damn" i thought, "these two days has gone fast!".
even though yesterday (Tuesday) was a bad day at work, only idiots called and bitched about all sort of things it went by fast (luckily).
one example:
often travel agencys call us to reservate cars for other people, or companies, like American Express, call us to book cars for "fine" people with platinum cards...
anyway onto the example, this call a co-worker got yesterday.
this woman calls from a company and wants to reservate a car for a guy. she says that they have made a deal with our company and in their deal they are gonna have a certain type of car.
no problem som far.
but my co-worker sees that the car isn´t available at that time. then the woman on the aother side gets mad and says that "We have a agreement with you to have that car, what do you mean you don´t have it!!)".
and my co-worker tries to explain over and over again (but some people are just do stupid to understand).
all of a sudden she woman gets silent and my co-worker hears a dialing tone(!!!).
and a guy answers the phone (she had put a call through to the guy that was gonna have the car without saying anything to my co-worker!!!).
my co-worker understands that the guy in the phone is the person that is the one that´s gonna have the car and explains the situation to him.
he understands what she means (he´s not that stupid...)...but...
he later says that can´t you enter this car group and write on the booking that i want this type of car (the car that is on the agreement).
note: we CAN´T DO THAT, so stupid question!! you can´t book like a Chevrolet Classic and demand that we write that you want a Buick Le Sabre. the cars are in two different groups!
and my co-worker says so to this guy, and now all of a sudden he gets mad at her, and telling her that she can´t do her job right (!!!).
i don´t remember how it all ended but the moral of the story is:
how stupid can you be?? apparently very stupid!
just because you, or your company makes an agreement with us dosen´t mean that we have the specified car available 24/7 for you!!
....
i can give more examples like these, but nah not right now cause i´m going to lunch here!
....
yesterday i met the admin from Swedish Meatballs, in town. i wrote earlier about that i was gonna get both Call Of Duty and the expansion pack United Offensive for some cheap pix.
i came home and after some problems after installation i got online to the Swedish Meatballs server...
we sat online and talked with each other at the same time we where speaking, it was really cool!
we use a program called Teamspeak. it works like that you set up a channel (don´t ask me how, haven´t looked into it), and maybe a password if you want.
then you ask your mates that you want to talk to to download this program and give them the ip adress to the channel and the password if you have that.
you need a microphone to use this program, it´s better if it´s a headset with a mic. that has a "voice activation" in it, but it´s not neccecary since you can fiddle with the sound so ot will be more or less sensitive when you talk.
....
anyway, so there we sat and chatted and gamed the night away, and i had plans to see a movie.
but it was fun, and i´m looking forward to talk and game with them again.
....
a person close to me asked me a couple of days ago that i would take this webblog into a more personal direction. but i´m not sure where i want to take this webblog to, if i wanna get really personal or not...
hang on and we´ll see where we end up ;-P
to be continued on that one.
....
got a mail from a swedish rock band called P-Floyd, they play covers by Pink Floyd. got to see them a couple of years ago when i went to Stockholm to see Roger Waters live in Globen and i can tell you that P-Floyd are amazing.
anyway, they are gonna put up The Wall in Stockholm in may and i got a offer to buy tickets cheaper than other people that aren´t on their mailing list.
need to check with hotels and stuff, cause this is a offer i really don´t wanna miss out on.
i´ll return when i have checked into this...
....
another co-worker sent me a really funny text file this morning, i´m gonna upload it later when i have access to my homepage server.
be cool and stay in school! ;-)
