Writer's Block: Multilingual
Only four languages, at various levels. Swedish - Natively. English - Fluently, or at least somewhat fluently. German - Helpfully. I can get by. Norwegian - Helpfully. Can also get by. Mostly by mixing in Swedish. :P On the todo list: Finnish - Considering I'm 50% Finnish, I surely have to learn Finnish. Dutch - I have loads of friends in Dutchland, so need to be able to understand them when they speak "behind my back". Polish - Seems like a fun enough language to learn. I'd also love to learn some middle eastern language, like Arabic or Hebrew. Also some Asian language would be fun. Oh, of course Russian too - I'd have some use of my Russian keyboard then. :P Current Music: Silence | | Monday, January 14th, 2008 | | 7:04 pm |
Annual post.
Moo! Arf! Or anything that might be suitable as a start. :-) Okay, going to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) eurofurence this year again. Regged as #46, which is easy to remember, as I'm from Sweden, which has the (telephone) country code... 46. ;-) Paid for now, so I'm even closer to show up. Apart from that, am going to ConFuzzled in June, which will be held in Manchester. Got sneakily led into temptation to register for that too. Okay, also reasons as visiting some ppl which are nice, plus chips and pubs! *drools suitably* Registered just in time(tm). Also paid for. So, yay! Two cons this year, which will be dandy. Still have no intention to cross the pond to 'merca. AnthroCon et al are just way too big for me. Hopefully EF will not grow much larger than it is today, but... I sadly believe it will. :-/ Anyway... that's what's new at this side of the planet. :P *nuzzles* Current Mood:  tiredCurrent Music: Globus - Diem Ex Dei | | Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006 | | 3:17 am |
Less fun stuff.
Okay, first post in another eternity. Sorry about that. And a not so fun one at that. Sorry about that as well, but I sort of feel the need to mumble something about what happened. Today, or yesterday rather, Tuesday 2006-11-21, at 09:52, I get a phone call from my dad. With a uncertain voice he tell me that something bad have happened. In a split second I assemble all strange thoughts possible, until he explains that his partner's (he's not married to her, thus partner) son was found dead in his bed earlier that morning. Everything became empty. Probably the look in my face as well, but I can't say that for sure. I seldom watch myself in the face. After another minute of disbelief, mmming and nodding silently, we ended the call and I went back to work. Not. I tried to for another moment, but I remained blank. Completely unable to do anything. I thought to myself "screw it", took my mobile phone and got myself into an empty room, rang my dad and told him I was off to his place. But as a good behaved employee, I of course went to another room, where the board was having a meeting. Beginning with "I need to take the rest of the day off", people told me I looked ill, except one who got it right by asking "Have something happened?", since I apparently was fairly pale. By just a tiny bit, I managed from completely breaking down, trying to explain what have happened. Thankfully the company I work for is a great company, almost forbidding me from coming into work the next day. Even though we have a project which is crucial for the company, the common tone was "Money's nothing, take the time you need". *wipes tears off the cheek* So, yes... I work for a great company with great policies. Anyway, I intend to go back on Thursday, since I do need to get back into some routine again. I'll of course have frequent contact with my family, both to support them and get support from them. I think I'll spend the christmas at home this year, even though I planned to not "celebrate" it. It'll be a tough path forward, especially for my dad and his partner. I can't even imagine how a mother feel, who loses her child. Her only child, at that. We've had long philosophical discussions today, which have helped quite a bit, but none of us have probably fully realised what have happened yet. It's all surreal. What happened to him? We don't fully know yet. He's brought into autopsy, because the death involved medical substances. Everything points in the direction of a misjudgment in practice. A severe misjudgment. Lawsuits will follow. Not to get any financial compensation, but at least to prevent the same person to make the same mistake again. What was so severe? He managed to get prescribed a cough syrup which is very rarely prescribed. And when it's prescribed, it's usually given in a 250 mill bottle. Without being known by the person prescribing the medicine, he got a one litre bottle! Given his already existing record of medicine, which is available to all persons with the rights to prescribe medicine, even a 250 mill bottle would be a big no-no. Instead of drinking perhaps a maximum of 50 mills that day, he had 400... Most likely cause of death; suffocation. Either of all mucous being produced and the medicine preventing him from cough, or by his lungs simply failing. Only time will tell. The result form the autopsy will probably take three weeks, depending on the work load. That's about it. Less than a happy happy joy joy moment. I'm currently coping fairly well. Will be able to sleep tonight, but I'll for sure have a few breakdowns in the nearest future. Really looking forward for that... Thanks for reading all through. This is probably one way for me to handle the situation. *nuzzles softly* //Mooie Current Mood:  blank | | Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 | | 6:02 am |
Oh my...
It's been quite some time since I last posted here. Almost a year now. *coughs some* Oh well, a new year, new strength. At least it seems so. Am, yet again, about to start my master thesis. Didn't write any last year. So, that looks promising. :-) Am heading to Eurofurence this summer. Have sent money for my "member fee", so that should be arranged [any day now](tm). Heh, looked up where Nürnberg is and it actually means a longer drive than to Olpe, where it was last year. Oh well, could be worse, I guess. Making another 36-hour day. Had just got to bed when a friend of mine called me. Well.. he called, but I wasn't fast enough to answer, but I rang him up.. had to drive him to the hospital. Something with some of his organs wasn't behaving as it should, although it turned out not to be particulary fatal. Got back home at 03'ish.. have to get him to the hospital at 07:45 again.. I think I'll skip the sleep bit. I have no lectures until Wednesday anyway and the closest deadline is on Tuesday, when a report is to be handed in. Shouldn't be impossible, since it's partly done by now. //Mooie Current Mood: Tired'ish | | Monday, February 23rd, 2004 | | 3:47 pm |

Toys!
Got my things today! It's like christmas, but lots better! No silly must-do things etc. :-) Problem though, is that the RAID controller doesn't support dynamic extension of the disk arrays.. which is a shame really. This also means I have to find 70GB of temporary storage. I have a total of four 160GB harddisks, but one of them have about 70GB of data on it.. which means I have to store that somewhere while I created the array with the disks. Ah well.. I'll find a solution. I'm also running a 100Mbps switched network now! Mrr. Much nice, indeed. Have lived with hubbed 10Mbps until today.. which have worked.. but I look forward to the increased speed. Atleast on my own network. :-) Ah well.. Enough for now. Take care! //Mooie Current Mood:  giggly | | Wednesday, February 18th, 2004 | | 1:41 am |
Stuff..
Yay! The things I've ordered are now on their way. Two harddisks, a RAID-controller, a PSU and a 100Mbps Switch. Will be quite nice to have them here since one of the 160GB harddisks I already have is acting strangely. :-/ I hope it's the one I have nothing stored on yet. With my 'luck' though, it's probably breaking down with lots of data going down the drain. Feh. Oh well, nothing really important there though, in that case. Just annoying. Besides that.. Not much else to add, so be well all of you. //Mooie - just a cow. Current Mood:  worried | | Tuesday, February 17th, 2004 | | 4:23 am |
Mmmkay.. This is me..

Tablet connected!
I finally got my tablet/digitiser connected and set up in Windows. A nice little(!) thing. It's an A3 SummaGraphics SummaSketch III Professional board. Main usage is CAD, but it semi-works for more 'artistic' usage. Yet I must say I'm far away form being artistic at all. Yet I have drawn a few images.. (Two as of yet). I hope I can get a pressure sensitive stylus someday, since it's more of scraping pictures than drawing them. Anyway.. The images are located at http://www.fukt.bth.se/~mooie/images/Comments are welcome. If critisism, keep it constructive. Otherwise I just pretend to be blind/deaf. :-) Please keep in mind that it's really my first attempt to draw anything. I've scribbled on paper a few times, but not tried to do anything serious. Not that what I've done so far is very serious, but still.. Well.. the last pic, the 'Lonely' pic, was due to the feelings I had at the time. So.. Oh well. :-) Take care! //Mooie - an artistic cow?

Depression..
Oh. Even though I, myself, doesn't feel too down, I feel frustrated when I can't help my friends around me when they feel either along, down, abandoned or just simly are sad. I can listen of course.. but I want to do more. I want to be there for them. Help them. Very frustrating. Sadly also very comfusing for myself, since I'm afraid I can't draw a clear line of what's friendly help and what's stronger feeling (E.i. love).. Of course I love all my friends, but.. in the deeper sense, that is. I guess it's my current situation, my desire to find someone that want to share my life, that haunts me. I have potential boyfriends, but that's a complex situation. Having lost three boyfriends over the years, makes one weary.. A bit 'suspicious'.. A bit drawn back, not daring to explore ones true feelings. Of course my stupid habbit of always getting jealous doesn't really help me. Oh well, enough of that. Take care. //Mooie Current Mood:  frustrated | | 3:57 am |
MAC OS X
Mrar! Got Mac OS X today.. but in the form of .DMG CD images.. Yes, I know.. blah blah copies.. illegal.. warez. Feh. Right now, if Apple is interested in having one more user, they shut up and let me try their system. There.. Well.. The .DMG is some shite proprietary f'ing format that's only used on Mac.. Particulary in Mac OS X. *sighs* I just can't burn them onto CD's and get them usable on Macs.. using my PC, that is. Which is a shame. Though, luckily it seems I can get them as .NRG files, which is the native format for Nero Burning ROM.. So.. Hopefully. :-) I want to take a look at the OS. If it's shite or my machine isn't enough, I'll put Debian GNU/Linux on instead. :-) Ah well.. Not much else have happened though.. so.. TTFN. //Mooie - a quite tired cow.

Rearrangement.
Yay! Finally using dualhead again! It's such a freedom to be able to place different windows on different screens. Am already pondering adding another monitor. *grins* Besides, the rearrangement was mainly because of my back. I used to have the machine placed next to my bed, which meant I didn't have to go up from bed in the mornings, in order to be sat infront of the compter. There were days when I didn't go up at all, unless needing to go to the bathroom - a less good thing, really. Now I only have to start swimming again. My back really needs that. Anyway.. I think that's about it for tonight. Take care all! //Mooie - a quite positive cow, for a change. :-) Current Mood: optimistic | | Tuesday, February 10th, 2004 | | 1:08 am |
*looks around*
Hopefully noone noticed my absence... *giggles quietly* Ah well.. Lots of things have happened since my last post. I will not write down everything. Mainly because I don't remember! :P In a short version; Have had an emotional hell over the winter. Am not completely 'recovered', but slowly getting there. :-) My next task is to select something do write about in my master thesis. Should have done that ages ago. Feck. Oh well. I have a small problem, it's when I get too much to do, I tend to do nothing! Rather stupid, but quite natural after all. The only solution, for me at least, is to distanciate from a few things.. focus on one single thing.. and sort things out one bit at the time. Other than that, have been with my lovely friends over the weekend.. Of which two are potential boyfriends to me. :-) They are already boyfriends, but I might become a third part of that relationship. Maybe, maybe not. I'm still a bit uncertainy whether I'll manage that. Ah well. Got time to cuddle two lovely doggies anyway. :-) So, probably nothing else I can think of writing about at the moment.. so.. TTFN. :-) //Mooie Current Mood: tired | | Wednesday, November 5th, 2003 | | 10:11 pm |
Things..
Moo! Things are really weird. Today my beloved one stopped by at the IRC channel I'm usually at.. One could believe that'd make me happy, but nope.. quite not so. As of the presence I'm quite messed up with feelings and such. So.. to add another battle-field to the once I'm already at, is quite straining. I hope I can sort out my feelings quite soon. Shouldn't be impossible, but there are a number of physical matters that have to be sorted out as well. Besides the emotional ones. Mmmm..anyway... In about 36 hours I'll be driving up to Stockholm to visit my lovely friends from the IRC channel. Yay! Not sure how the "schedule" will look like, but then.. I'm not much of a planning being anyway. I love ad hoc! I'm an ad hoc cow. Ooh.. and I've started sketching on my characters.. Yes.. characters. I'm a cow.. but at times (read intimate ones) I have to cooperate with my fantasy a bit, so I'm also anthro wolf, anthro dog or anthro fox (males) at times. Mrr. *giggles quietly* Anyway, the sketching goes slooooow. Very slow. And looks awful, so it'll take ages before anyone else will see anything. :-) Anyway, be well all of you. //Mooie Current Mood: excited | | Thursday, October 30th, 2003 | | 9:59 pm |
...and then we go up.
Blah, blah... rubarb, rubarb.. And all by a sudden I feel better. Talking help lots. I guess takin the step to talk to someone about ones feelings, in one way or the other, is quite big. But once that step is taken, lots can be solved. Perhaps not explicitly, but at least implicitly - as the case is for me right now. I really, really want to thank the one I've been talking with for the last hour. I'll not mention any names, but if you see this and know it's you I've been talking to.. Love you! (Yes, in one way I do) //Mooie Current Mood: relieved | | 8:07 pm |
Why must feelings hurt?
Then it happened.. Without realising it, I said something that could be taken personally.. Wasn't my intention.. but.. When not thinking before talking, then shite is bound to happen. //Mooie Current Mood: depressed | | 7:13 pm |
Another passed course!
Yay! Passed another course today.. The course "Computer systems".. A somewhat strangely named course. It's mainly about parallel computing; clusters and the like. :-) Thought I wouldn't, but.. Yay! Besides of that.. feeling terrible lonely today. The ones I like lots.. err.. love I guess I have to say.. either they're not there.. or they're busy with something/someone else. So I feel quite less significant. I hope I don't drag my friends through crap they can't do anything about. I hope I don't sound too whining. //Mooie - a sorrowed cow.

Grand cow tour..
At least to Stockholm. ;-) Have sort of decided to go to Stockholm during the second weekend in November.. Hopefully from the 6'th until the 10'th.. But that might be changed. Sooooo.. No details are planned as of yet, but I'd like to meet as many as possible of the ones I know up there when being there... that is. :-) Any ideas of what can be done are greatly appreciated. Okay, within reasonable limits! //Mooie Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: Freedom Call - Another Day |
