At 6am we finally got to meet Arons little brother. Born on a Sunday just as myself and Aron, the little one weighs 3,5 kg and is 50cm long.
Everyone is in good health but we are all very tired since we only got about 3 hours of sleep during the 24 hour long latency phase.
Thank you all for all the greetings!
We celebrated L’s birtday last weeekend and for the occation we went and saw the terrifying movie Men Who Hate Women. A movie that ranked such international fame that in France it was simply known as “Le Filme”. Traditionally I have a great dislike for Swedish cinema. The Swedish Movie Institute have a tendency to always give the same people money, so after a while you grow sick of seing the same actors over and over. Not to mention the way Swedish directors want to show “real life”. They want to tell you how it really is, show you the dirty side of things and make you aware, and meanwhile they are giving you and themselves the finger. It’s boring, so boring.
So refreshing then to see this : The story was great, The action scenes are great, the dialogue is great, the characters are great. The actors.. are mostly the old gang as ever, but they pull it off. It’s a great movie, and it’s Swedish!
I have particular piece of trivia about this movie I want to share: If you plan to see the movie don’t worry, its not a spoiler. The female hacker Lisbeth gets her laptop smashed up and has to use the computer at a friend who runs some kind of computer shop in a basement, that really looks more like a garbage dump. That guy exists in real life. You will find him in the yellow pages under “Mac Akuten” or something like that. He works in Vasastan in Stockholm and is well worth a visit, if only for anthropological reasons.

These pictures speak for themselves, so just a few brief notes:
I played around a bit today with Nokia 5630 and voice over internet. Not because I incidentally got my first phone-bill from Tele2 today, but because I find the concept of making a free call, possibly a video call, from my normal cellphone, absolutely irresistible.
The standard for Voip is called SIP, and to use SIP you need a SIP account. I checked around a bit for different providers until i stumbled upon sipgate.co.uk. They allow you to setup your account directly for no charge and get a free real number to boot. Excellent. After some configuration I finally got the lovely message on my phone. “Account is registered” The sipgate.co.uk webpanel confirmed it. It could see my phone. Rock on! My cellphone was ready to make internet calls.
Or so I thought. The Nokia 5630 even has its own field in the contacts for “internet phone”. But trying to call someone with only an internet phone number didn’t work. It should show up as a third call option. And trying to just hit the call button gives me the error “Internet-telephony service not available.” A flicker of fear awoke inside of me, was it all too good to be true?
First of all, to all parents that has kids that sleep normally. Be thankful for the blessing you have recieved! When I talk to friends that tell me their kids have always gone to sleep at 8pm and then slept peacefully to 8am I am always undecided if I should congratulate them or give them a punch in the face.
I’m starting to write this at 20.20 after putting little prince Aron to sleep. All his life he has been suffering from insomnia of some kind, making both himself and us suffer the consequences. So this weekend we took it upon ourselves to try to change this behaviour. Since we have a second little baby coming in just a few weeks this is a “now or never” type of situation.
