Det kan väl knappast ha undgått någon att det pratats mycket om Valerie Solanas SCUM-manifest på sista tiden; eller mer exakt Turteaterns uppsättning av manifestet i pjäsform. Jag kan tyvärr säga att en del av reaktionerna varit… tja, inte helt överraskande, men förtvivlat frustrerande likafullt.
Så, jag tänkte dela med mig av mina egna funderingar. Framför allt är det här reaktioner på saker som ifrågasatts, men förhoppningsvis är det läsbart ändå.

I’m a software snob. I admit it. I can’t be like everyone else and just write everything in Word or even OpenOffice Writer… No, I have to be special. I have to set my standards so high that apparently there are no applications out there, apparently, that fit my criteria.
And so I’m stuck. I find myself not writing, simply because I don’t have the energy to move everything to a new format later. So to save time and energy, I’m doing nothing – or rather, I’m wasting a lot of time and energy on nothing.

So… I’ve been using my Nook Color primarily as a PDF reader, using the stock Barnes & Noble OS… Rooted, of course, and with the Marked added, and so forth. Recently, it began feeling sluggish and a bit unpredictable, so I was contemplating just doing a complete wipe/factory restore and restore the original OS and then re-rooting it. Apparently, the process is now much smoother and the market installed by the manual nooter is apparently much more up-to-date than it was when I first rooted the device. That really appealed to me, since one of the things that had really begun bothering me was the limited number of apps available to me through the Market.

I’m all for second chances. And third, and fouth. I decided yesterday to give Ubuntu 11.10 another chance. I uninstalled the open-terminal addon, and replaced it with a script doing the exact same thing. I also installed gnome-shell; Unity and I probably won’t ever be friends. The graphical style is too cartoony, and I have a strong dislike for the weak graphical representation of which applications are currently running (a small glowing triangle on the side just isn’t enough).

I updated my main desktop computer to Ubuntu 11.10 yesterday. Today, I’m reinstalling 11.04.
First of all, Unity. To say I’m not very fond of the road both Unuty/Ubuntu and Gnome teams are travelling right now is an understatement. They’re both moving away from clear menu-driven systems and towards some sort of misguided attempt at making things “easier” for the “common user” by obscuring applications and settings. I like well-behaving search-based launchers as much as the next guy, but I also like neat ordering and clear hierarchal categories.

Verkar som att min idé om underdomäner inte riktigt vill sig. Iaf inte tillsammans med permalinks, så länge jag kör Lighttpd.
Lighttpd saknar ju mod_rewrite, och tydligen fuckar WP-subdomains upp det sätt wordpress arbetar sig runt problemet…
Blääääh. Jaja, går faktiskt att ordna hjälpligt manuellt också. Får bli som på förra bloggen, ett litet php-script som ändrar headern beroende på kategorin, och så kanske, kanske jag orkar fixa manuella underdomäner… Eller så kanske jag orkar lära mig hur man får lighttpd att tolka om på ett vettigt sätt… Det borde ju gå att automagiskt förvandla x.krank.se till www.krank.se/index.php/archives/category/x …

Efter att ha vägt för- och nackdelar i evinnerliga tider har jag nu äntligen beslutat mig för att migrera min blogg hit istället.
Planen är att föra över allt från den gamla bloggen hit, och skapa lite nya kategorier för att få lite styrsel på alltihop. Jag ska också fixa så att varje kategori (politik, spel, teknik, mjukvara) får sin egen underdomän – går man till politik.krank.se så får man bara politikinläggen, går man till spel.krank.se får man bara spelen. Går man till krank.se eller www.krank.se däremot så får man alltihop.

Got a tip about another music player, and tried it out. Thanks to OMG! Ubuntu!

Despite many a test, I have as of yet to find an audio player that beats Foobar2000. Functionality, lightness, customizability, modularity. I’ve more or less abandoned the proprietary Windows platform, only returning to it for Adobe and Autodesks products and for a small handful of games. Foobar2000 is still my weapon of choice for assaulting my ears with music, despite running it through wine.

En hel del människor tycks missförstå poängen med att diskutera. Gäller inte bara diskussioner förresten, det gäller allting man gör i princip. Vad är det som är så svårt?
