At about 16:00 Swedish time on the 24th of December, we hand out Christmas presents. So on 10:00 o'clock New York time on the 24th, we already get our presents. Think about that, you belated Americans! <img:stuff/zabuN-gif.gif>

The statistics superstar Hans Rosling with his diagrams and wonderful Swedish accent has hold a new speech and is predicting when China and India will have the same income per capita as Europe and USA:

So this is why Elftown contests have so much higher quality than contests with money prizes:

The short story:
If you give people bonuses they do better at tasks that are about simple things. But they do way worse on tasks that demands thinking outside of the box. Basically: The more you will get rewarded for making a new discovery, the more unlikely you are to do it.

Atheism fundamentalism on the rise!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxGMqKCcN6A&feature=channel

Not really interesting, but fun to watch despite that it's very serious. I'm not sure how much of it a religious person could stand though.

Atheism has the same problem as for example non-drinking. You don't want to gather in a place and not do something, because that's just isn't fun. But I guess we could gather around the faith that there is a teapot circling around Mars.

I think I'll spend my birthday sleeping... And maybe cleaning.

My camera got broken. Again! Last time I buy this kind of easy to break crap!

I'm so amazed that I haven't got the swine flu yet (Or maybe I got it and didn't get sick, which happens). I hang out with all the sick students and drink from their glasses all the time.

Maybe I'm like a kid's doctor and never get sick because I train my immune system all the time <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

Seems like a hundred or so Elfpack images are broken. The other sites and the rest of Elfpack seem OK though.

Poor Krill really needs a new disk now, but it can manage with the current ones for the moment. 

The sites are up now, but they are extremely slow as every failed image seem to take ages to (fail to) read.

Blärgh! Krill's harddisk is starting to fail and need replacement. It will take forever to copy all those files so the sites (www.elftpack.com http://fake.swedma.com/ and so on) will be down for some days, I estimate.

Maybe I start them with broken images earlier though.

Does God exists?

Well, some Christians wanted to be ensured that they aren't mad and put up a poll:
http://uk.alpha.org/
Unfortunately for them, the answer is that they got it wrong and is a tiny duped minority.

It was 98% no, but now it's actually down to 96% no and 1% maybe.

They say it's some sort of attack. Why God didn't stop that wasn't explained, but it has probably to do with testing their faith or something.
