I’d almost forgotten all about how much it hurts to get a partially frozen, horisontally flying snowflake driven into one’s eye with the force of a fresh breeze. So thank you for returning and reminding me, dearest King Winter.
Anyway, I’m going away for a couple of days, so there won’t be any new posts here [...]
Posts filed in This Blog
This is the “meta tag” — tags that will head posts where I blog about this blog. Sounds exciting, don’t you think?
Back again…
Wow, I actually did a clever thing o.O
And the thing? Well, for the last couple of weeks, I’ve been semi-worried over not seeing a comment here, because I rarely bother to check if there’s more than five new since the last time I was here, and I’ve disabled the annoying e-mail notifications. And now, I realized that I could use the comments [...]
Categories updated
It never fails. Whenever I have some paper to write, I do everything but work on it. This time, I updated the category descriptions here at Thus Spoketh. Took an hour, too. But if you feel like finding out what kind of posts hide behind the various categories, just hold the pointer of your mouse [...]
Loki!
Jeg har nevnt kommentarproblemene for zhayena..

Håper hun kan fikse det, for jeg har ikke aning på hav som er feil…
A cunning plan…
… or maybe not.
Anyway, last night, after returning home after my visit, well, home, I thought I’d lay down and watch a DVD on my laptop. However, I have a small problem. Most of my DVDs, I’ve seen like 20 times, at least the fun ones. But I also have some 15-20 movies on DVD [...]
Soundtrack of my life - Natsecorma challenge #1
I see that Zhayena (or at least I assume that it’s Zhayena) has initiated a small challenge for the Natsecorma bloggers. And, being the supportive fellow that I am, I will, naturally support it.
“Ditt livs soundstrack” (Soundtrack of your life), the challenge is called. Now, I’ve already written a thing like this before, but having [...]
Tribute To A Tool
“I’m a tool. I’m a tool. A tool, tool, tool.”
A line from the first episode of Scrubs, season 1. But it’s not that tool I’ll praise here, but a much more useful one: The Google Define Search.
The what? you might ask. Well, the Google Define Search, is a practical little function of Google, where you [...]
Long time, no blog
So, more than a week since my last blog post — what have I been up to that has kept me away for so long?
To begin with, I bought “Lucifer” #9, “Morningstar”, a couple of weeks ago, and before reading it, I freshened up mu memory of what’s happened there before, by reading the first [...]
Blogroll updated
Some links added, mainly links to my favourite forums at the moment: Fantasyforumet.net, Tolkiens.net, Tidshjulet.net, and Guardians’ Grove/Everestia Community.
I also added a link to Loki’s blogg, which I read daily. And if I link to it from here, I won’t have to go the long way via bookmarks/blogs to get there.
A New Purpose
Today, while out walking in my neighbourhood, I came up with a new, or additional, purpose for this blog.
I study Social Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology here in Trondheim, and I’m working towards a Bachelor degree with a focus on Political Science and History. I have one year to go before [...]
Addendum!
Some explaination on the last post: It was just as much a post to make me remember what happened in that episode, as it was a review or something. After all, I have serious trouble separating the episodes, and to a certain extent the seasons as well…
So I’ll keep doing this. Every time I’ve seen [...]
Concerning Consonants
Just one last comment before I’m off:
Often, you may see a word like “fodd”, or “lokk”, or something like that. I guess you’d be able to figure it out on your own, but that’s just typos. I often find that I have typed a double consonant instead of a double vowel — a typo I [...]
Disabling the visual rich editor
Seeing as my previous attempts have stranded, and the only posts I’ve made that look reasonably decent are the ones written in the HTML mode, I’ll just use it and hope for the best. If I’m lucky (against all odds), this’ll, if not solve the problem, then at least make it go away to some [...]
Yet another test, part infinite+1
OK, let’s see:
Word wrap box: check.
Double dashes — checked. (I’m not sure why I think that these’re causing any problems, but hey. Better safe than sorry, right? :P)
Then, I gotta write some nonsense again. Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense… Aha, possible topic discovered! You see, today, I’ve moved back to Trondheim, where I attend university (to say that I study would be an insult to hard-working students everywhere). And because I was totally engrossed in Buffy season 5 the last couple of days I spent in Trondheim, I didn’t wash my room to a satisfying degree (for my mother; personally, I couldn’t have cared less). So today, after a three and an half hour drive, I cleaned the walls in my room. It’s horisontal wooden panel, so there was a lot of dirt between the planks. It was probably time for one of these cleanings.
Argh, that’s all I can take to write about such a trivial matter. And besides, my language [...]
Alright!
Neat-o, the formatting looks OK!
Then, all I gotta do, is type a semi-long post in the rich text thingy, and see what happens when I don’t check the “Word wrap” box in the HTML Source editor. Hopefully, things’ll have improved all on their own - or rather, because of something Zhayena’s done - and I’ll be able to write my fingers off. I wanted to say ”fingers crossed!” again, like I did at the end of the last post, but I can’t force the poor buggers into crossing themselves, when the thing they’ll be crossed for, is that they’ll fall off. r something.
Well, [...]
Just another test
Just to see if things return to state of horribility when I enable rich text editing.
I am hoping that the word wrap problem will improve, as I entered the “Edit HTML Source” and checked the “Word wrap” box before changing from rich text to HTML write pad. Hmm. I just checked that box again, and [...]
Looks like things have settled themselves
I changed from the “rich text write pad” to the “html write pad”, and made sure to check the “word wrap” box in some window, and now things are looking better!
I’l have a looksie tomorrow, and see if I can fix the previous posts, too.
This is just a test, really, to see if things are better or not…
So, let’s see then, what happens when I write a long paragraph. Will lines still protrude far out into the right hand menu? Or will things fall into place, nice and orderly, the way it’s supposed to? Obviously, I am hoping for the latter, seeing as I’ve spent my day on a six hour long hike in the mountains, and as a result of this, I am quite exhausted. After all, I’m not in particularly good shape…
So. [...]
Concerning the Horror of the Formatting
I just had to apologize for how little reading-friendly the blog is at the moment. I have no idea what’s causing it, but I’ve made zhayena aware of the problem, and she said she’d have a look at it tomorrow…
I seriously hope she’ll be able to fix it, because the way things are now, I can hardly look at the blog without popping a
blood vessel or eight… :(
Strategy and Purpose — What’s that?
So, this is my blog. What should I do with it? Should I use it as a diary, where I write about my life, my opinions and so on and so forth. Most likely, yes. There will be some of that. But as I’m personally rather tired of the tyranny of intimacy that is so prominent in today’s society — where everyone seems to be wearing
their hearts on their sleeves and blathering about insignificant nonsense on the first
page of every major newspaper – I’ll try to minimize the amount of words I use on my own life. I’ll try. But because I have few people to talk to in real life, and since I’m a person with opinions about many things, there will be some posts about such [...]
