File sharing is a hot subject these days, and I find it really interesting.
I’m making some research on it right now with this survey, please participate if you have a minute (it’s only 10 questions and it’s completely anonymous) over! The result will be published on this site under a CC license.
Here is the survey: 1 minute music file sharing survey.
Thank you for participating!

As a subscriber of the monthly Greenpeace newsletter, I recently received some good news!
Their ship, the Esperanza has been pursuing the Japanese whale hunters that each year kills around 800 whales. This year they only got around 400, much thanks to the disruptiveness that the Greenpeace activists caused!
Yesterday I said to Sanna, “Hey, shouldn’t we get ourselves one or two of those bonus cards that you can use in the supermarkets?”
“Great idea!” Sanna replied.
“Thank you. We should get both ICA and Coop!”
“Nah, why don’t we just stick with Coop? My family always used to buy their food there, so it comes more natural to me. And it kind of means that we owns it together (it’s a co-operative), doesn’t it?”
She certainly seemed to be up to something.
“Maybe, I’m not sure. However, they’ve got the BEST carrots that I know of, so I say OK! Let’s stick with Coop.”
Mmmm…..CARROTS!….
A week ago our web host ONE.COM had problems with their MySQL database.
During that time (more or less a day) our site was inaccessible. Quickly I made a database backup, just in case.
We contacted their support, who confirmed the problem and promised us that it should be solved in a day or two, thay said that we should not need to worry about making a database backup. And later during the day, it was fixed.
The day after I went to my blog to write a post, due to my challenge.
But, I couldn’t log in. WordPress stressed that I sent dual headers, so it couldn’t log me in.
Well. Let’s see here.
I could log in the day before yesterday, but not today.
Hmm…
To me it was obvious. Something had happened to the database during the time it was inaccessible.
So I contacted One.com‘s support. Needless to say, they wasn’t much of a help. After 5 days of back and forth, ping-pong they wrote “..you could always reinstall the whole system”.
So now I’ve switched to our Dreamhost account. The site will probably be a little slower for swedish visitors (it’s located in the US), but this is a temporary fix until I’ve gotten myself a decent web host (Dreamhost is quite ok, though).
However, the challenge continues!
As you can tell by following this blog, I’ve cheated a lot during this challenge. It didn’t fit to write one post a day, I seem more accustomed to writing fewer but longer posts. I believe that quality is more important than quantity.
Quick tips:
* Clean up after yourselves!
* Take responsibility for your self, show your friends that you care about them.
* Hug other men.
* Clean up after yourselves!
* Listen to others. Women and kids especially. The Modern Man listens to others, rather than talking themselves.
* Participate in the household and work hard to learn all the stuff you didn’t learn as a child.
* If you got a family, remember this: You are a father, not a CEO. In that order as well, ok?
* Wear pink sometimes, when you dare.
* Never get drunk around children. If you need to get stoned, or hammered drunk, get a room or travel away. Kids don’t deserve to hang around idiots who’ve chosen to become less conscious about their presence, and it’s just not cool.
* Remember to play. It is as important in work situations as in home situations. Play is key.
* You can’t claim to love another person at the same time as you hurt that person. If you love someone, you don’t hurt him. Try to compare you lovers with your closest friends, what kind of demands would you put on those?
Well, there you have it! A list with quick tips to becoming more modern!
