Some mornings it really feel like you should have stayed in bed. You know you have a tight agenda. But you know you can make it. But then you forgot about all those things that can go wrong.
I could list a million things that didn’t go as they should today. But they are random, and work related most of them, and would be just a boring list of excuses. Something I don’t like to come with. But one think strikes me as particularly odd. And that is the laws on how buses works. It seems to happen to me every time. No matter what city, or country I am in. Maybe it is just me. Maybe it really is a law about this. Well lets have a look at them.
1. If you are one minute late to the bus, then the bus was 100% precise and has already left. But more interestingly, the next one will for sure not be on time.
2. When you are standing there waiting. There will always drive one bus in the other direction before one pass you in your direction. If there is more then just your bus-number that stops on that bus stop, then you can be sure there will be at least 2-3 busses before one of yours drops by.
3. If you need to do a transfer. Lets say from bus 28 to bus 9. And at the transfer point your bus is supposed to be there 1-2 min before bus 9. Then you can be sure that your bus is 2-3 minutes late, but bus 9 is exactly on time.
Now this might just be me. Or that I just notice these days more then others. But to me it seems like every time I take the bus to meet friends or what ever and I have a tight schedule, then I have to come up with an excuse like I missed the transfer or the bus was late. Is it just me? Please say it is not just me….

Was just going to check something in Google when I noticed that the approximation they do on how many hits you get is even worse then what I first though. Well of course a lot of pages are similar, so the number you first get is not the final number. You have probably seen that your self if you search for something, then press the next button and the "total hits" number will shrink and shrink.
But this is just dumb. I got one hit for my search. And Google manage to write that it is showing me that one hit, but it can`t calculate how many hits it found. Now isn`t that weird. Showing 1 of 1 hits, we found about 5...

OMG, I knew there was a lot of coke in thei country, but this beats all records. Cocain adds on the Coka Cola bottles was just a bit more then I had expected. Even a phone number you can call. How fast they are to deliver remains untested.
Then again, there is probably cities that have bigger problems then Geneva. I have seen pictures form beaches around the world with far bigger problmes ahead. :p

A few years ago, I had Flat Eric as my avatar on most forums I went to. Then I had this bright idea, that I could take pictures of Flat Eric in all sort of fun situations, and then post them on one of the forums. But the admins didn`t like that there was partly nudity and use of alcohol in some of the pictures, so I had to take them down again.
Now I have finaly found the time to upload them into one of my own albums. I have also added a comment under every picture so it forms a history (a sad history). You can check out the album under "pictures" in the menu or you can go directly to the first picture , and just press next to go to the new one. Enjoy.

I usualy hate getting funny things in my e-mail. Well don't get me wrong. I like to laugh a bit every now and then, but in periods most of the mails I get is funny chain letters or stories or what ever. And I usualy just reply with something like: "Please don't send spam". Might seem a bit harsh, but I guess it applies for me as with most others that e-mails take up just a bigger and bigger chunk of my day.
But this time I will do an exception. I have never found an e-mail I got that funny. In these bird flue days when so many is so affraid of it that they don't even dare to go out of their house without tamiflu , and even on our local intranet hera at work there is a web page dedicated to "What to do if you discover dead birds on the CERN site" , I finaly found someone that dared to joke about it. I got the cartoon stripe with Swedish text, but I have now translated it into English so more people can enjoy it too.
On a side note, I have not been able to track down the artist of this, but if anyone know who it is, please tell me, so I can send my credits in the right direction.
