Me - the terrorist?

Wednesday, August 28th, 2002

Me - the terrorist?
Called IBM regarding my old faulty ibm thinkpad. After giving my contact information i out of nowhere got the question “Are you a terrorist?” - i stumbled an “Aeeh, No!” answer - only to get the follow up question “Are you sure?”. The guy then proceeded by checking my name against a a database of known terrorists.
That’s what it takes to get computer support these days!

The next danish prime minister…

Monday, August 26th, 2002

To clarify…
My statement that the next danish prime minister will have a blog is just basic future forecasting since he/she will serve from year 2005-2009. There’s no way that i believe that you can be in power in year 2009 and not use the equivalent of a weblog to have conversations with the society around you and participate as the human being you are - and not the role your spindoctor’s wants to project you into.
But hey it’s also a hope - but i’ll definately try to make sure that the prediction happens ;)
Thanks for the link, Dave! (I’ll get those permalinks fixed - real soon!]
PS. I wouldn’t make the same future forecast for the role of the president of the united states - but that’s a totally different discussion and a problem only you americans can resolve…

We have a buyer for ya!

Monday, August 26th, 2002

A new record this week:
Got seven direct mail offers from real estate agents this week all stating something close to “we’ve got a buyer for your apartment ready”. Hey, shouldn’t the economy be cooling off?
The weird and irritating part is that each time your mind takes a tour around the question - that marketing stuff can be effective ;)

Wi-Fi and free lunches

John Patrick: Wi-Fi and free lunches
“The advent of Wi-Fi is about to change all of our lives in a major–and positive–way. I’ll go further: Wi-Fi is one of those grassroots phenomena that will soon become as ubiquitous as the PC itself. The latest laptops have Wi-Fi antennas built into the lids, while the wireless access points, which send and receive the Wi-Fi signals, now cost less than $100.”

Ohh, let the secret out..

Ohh, let the secret out…
I can now finally officially announce that Mr. Hartvig/090978.org has stopped blogging to have more time to become a father.
The best reason for stopping to blog i’ve ever heard of.

Weblogs & Politics…

Wednesday, August 21st, 2002

The first candidate for US Congress to have a weblog. Funny discussed it with a friend over lunch who was on his way to a meeting with the former prime minister of Denmark who’s rebuilding his campaign and party for the next election.
Suggested that one of the tools to show a more modern open human side of politics would be for the politician to have a weblog. He shrugged it off right away as being too progressive- but take my words - the next danish prime minister will have a weblog sometime in his/her time of service…
A Long Bet anyone?
