I have a friend who recorded a few tracks 3-4 years ago and only found out about it recently at a party, so I asked if I could distribute them and she said yes - under heavy influence of alcohol.
Here they are:
Blocking The Sun
Thoughts Of Life
Waste Of Time
The tags used by the auto-complete feature (Scintilla only) in Anjuta can be updated by running this script:
/usr/share/anjuta/scripts/create_global_tags.sh
The script automatically scans your /usr/include folder. It is also running pkg-config to update dependencies for packages.
Maybe there is a way to do this from within Anjuta, but if if there is, it is so unintuitive that it was more obvious for me to open a terminal and write dpkg -L anjuta-common to locate a script ;)
I’m having some issues with the Devhelp extension for Anjuta on Ubuntu 7.10, I’ll post something if I find some time to debug it. I know it crashes on running gtk_moz_embed_realize, but I don’t know why yet ;)
Demonstrations can be violent or peaceful… or beautiful.
Today a group of women decided to demonstrate for equal rights to bathe topless. They have my sympathy… I just can’t help it girls. It has nothing to do with women’s rights that your breasts turn me on. (So does a naked shoulder! Preferably a woman’s).
Something I am strongly against is action against taking sexual photos of women in a nurses costume. JBS, a boxershorts company, pulled their campaign after heavy pressure from the national nurses association.
Luckily I saved the wallpapers. You can get them here:
Statistics is a mathematical tool for measuring probability in clean room experiments. We see a lot of statistic surveys in the news all the time, which most often influences the politics of our country. That is fine if they were taken for what they are. These statistical surveys are rarely done in clean room environments, but are being treated as if they were. Take for example something which is very controversial to opponent against - statistics of smoke induced diseases.
Monitoring smokers and determining the probability of that group getting cancer is not done in a clean room environment. If it was to be done in a clean room environment we would need 200 human clones, eating the exact same, breathing the exact same air and so on where 100 of those would be smokers and 100 of them non-smokers. We need the only difference to be the subject we are doing statistics on. If not then I could claim that smokers tend to live their lives less healthy than non-smokers and blame the general lifestyle of smokers or that smokers had an actual gene that would make them both smoke, and die younger. I would not be able to blame the chemical substances of tobacco. What the survey would tell you is that if you are the group of people who smoke you will have a higher probability of getting cancer, but it would not be able to say if tobacco was to blame.
Don’t believe statistics. Understand them.
I’m a smoker and I’m not blind to the risks of an unhealthy lifestyle. I accept them as a side effect of enjoying my life.
No doubt that all children loves Christmas presents. Christmas has become the day where we spend billions and billions on buying presents for other rich people.
Buy stuff that matters for people to whom it matters the most and spend the day with your family and friends.
Buy a Unicef survival kit for undernutritioned kids, and give a card for Christmas.
This look is worth much more than money.

A Dutch teenager was arrested for stealing virtual furniture in the game Habbo Hotel and a Chinese man killed (in real life) a man who had sold a virtual sword he had borrowed from his murderer in the game Legends of Mir 3.
What a pathetic world. I blame the implicit greed of capitalism.
If you spend your money buying virtual (non existing) items instead of feeding starving children you deserve to be robbed.

Microsoft want their Silver-something to replace ECMAScript and Flash and Mozilla wants to develop ECMAScript in the direction of Silver-something.
What do I need it for? Nothing.
You can view this blog perfectly fine with a pure HTML and CSS renderer.
Interactivity? What kind of interactivity? Like submitting a comment to this post? It seems to work fine with just HTML/HTTP.
I only know a few great ways of applying ECMAScript and that is in presenting sites like I want to view them, using the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.
What is the real reason to make my browser execute code from the internet? The answer is advertising. The funny thing is as soon as you disable ECMAScript the content you miss out on is advertising. It is simple to show ads without using ECMAScript, but most ad providers use it to collect information about us. Users don’t need ECMAScript.
I’m sitting here trying to come up with a good use for ECMAScript, Flash and Java, but I just can’t. I need your help, please post a comment.
I can only come up with playing music in your browser and watching video, but really the ideal thing would be a video player plugin and a music player plugin for your browser. You don’t need a completely different audio/video engine as a browser plugin. All you need is a plugin that uses your favourite mediaplayer. The rest is just bloat.
Please post a comment if you disagree (It would help if you explained why you think users need ECMAScript, Flash and Java).
In the middle of this month new anti-smoking laws will take effect in Denmark. The new laws make smoking illegal in bars, restaurants and the like. I think this is a violation of bar and restaurant owners right to serve the costumers they want.
We need to look at the problem. The issue is second-hand smoke and non-smokers right to avoid it. That is a valid and honourable argument. The second argument is that employees should not be exposed to second hand smoking.
The government and the anti-smokers solution to this is to forbid smoking. That is an overreaction in my opinion.
Let us keep the two non-smoker arguments in mind and think of a way to solve the problem without compromising business owners right to run the kind of business they want.
A bar owner should be able to choose if he wants to allow smoking or not (remember that it is still legal to smoke). Non-smokers should stop coming to bars or restaurants where smoking is allowed which would create a market for serving non-smokers, they have the power to do that.
The solution to employees rights are almost the same. Employees should simply deny to work at a bar where smoking is allowed if they don’t want to be subjected to second hand smoke. Then the non-smoking places will have an easier time to find employees for their non-smoking bars.
The funny thing is that instead of solving the problem by taking away freedom, we can solve it by using our personal freedom and market forces.
Why do people keep insisting on taking freedom away instead of using the freedoms they have?
The same approach can be used to solve issues that take away more of our freedom, like fear of terrorism, and copyright. Taking away freedom to solve these issues is a sign of laziness and lack of respect for freedom. When a freedom you care about is taken away, who is going to stand up for you then? The people whose personal freedom you didn’t care about? You better hope they will!
Congratulations with the 1-0 victory against Saudi Arabia in the Asia Cup final!
I’m not sure whether to congratulate with the withdrawal of the Danish troops, it is certainly not for your sake we’re running away when chaos and violence is at maximum (hint: election coming up). I just wish you peace.
