And once again the Eurovision Song Contest proves that televoting was the worst addition ever made to the competition.

Happy New Year!

(And I can't believe I forgot to post on Christmas...)

Saw this on my friends list and decided to try as well.

My condolences, America... But on the positive side, maybe our new government might now not have enough time to screw us over before Putin gets here.

Snow. Snow everywhere!

Oh, looks like Windows 10 has finally decided to upgrade to the Anniversary Update on my computer here as well. I do wish Microsoft would stop insisting on placing Edge on my taskbar with every bigger update (and the shop, and it moved Explorer around...), though. But on the positive side, I really like that they have now included the clock on my second monitor's taskbar as well.

Well, looks like the people of UK have decided. They were asked whether they want to have a new recession and Scotland to leave. They said yes.

And this is why the people should never have been allowed to vote in this competition...

Well, that was weird... I actually finished a translation in time.

It's always a weird (but good) feeling when I receive a notice from FanFiction.Net about an ancient story of mine from 2001 being favorited by someone.

Been a while since I posted anything here, so have something stolen from nightfalltwen:

Tropes meme results:

I'm actually a bit surprised by how high some of these ended up...

Ah, Facebook... Just when you think they've finally decided to improve, they prove you wrong again. Remember that poll they had? They've now created a "feedback survey" to improve our news feeds. Sounds great, right? But the way they've done it is quite the opposite. Apparently they're asking us to choose between various posts to see which we would more like to see on our news feeds. Which is just so incredibly stupid when the biggest problem with Facebook is exactly the fact that they hide some posts from us.

I'm so terribly amused by Facebook's frequent poll about whether they care for their users. Sure, I can (and do) give them my opinion, but without actually being able to say why I think so, there's no way they would actually know what to improve.

It's time to once again dig up an old text to make sure people use the correct terminology.

Sanity has prevailed, as surprising as it may seem.

A day late, but...

Merry Christmas!

Apparently, going home last night, I met a fox at the park.
