My nose is running, but I've got quite a lot coded today despite that. But there are a lot of small fixes so it will take a while to get done.

Caprica - Because Battlestar Galactica was too happy and everything made too much sense.

And for some reason, I will probably keep watching it. It sort of sucks less than Stargate Universe, at least...

2½ men has started to be boring. Chuck is getting irritating. Heroes is so so. Dollhouse just ended.

The only good things on right now are How the Earth was made and Empire of the seas.

I'm totally exhausted after the igloo building. Damn that was fun!

I've never built something from snow blocks before, only with wet snow. We cheated a little and did use some water though... Sssh! <img:44166_1164469620.gif>

On the other hand, we didn't have enough tools for everyone.

There seems to be a little more bugs and misfeatures left... Damn, this is taking forever to fix. But I really can't change the way people upload profile images unless I make it almost perfect before changing it on Elftown.

I've been coding on the category feature a lot today. It will be easier and a little more beautiful to use in the future, and a lot of bugs are fixed.

But the main point is that when you upload images to your presentation, that they should automatically be added to a wiki-gallery (one image per page that can easily be commented on). 

It sort of works now, but it needs a lot more testing and polish before I upload it to Elftown.

After that, I'll see what I can do about buttons and stuff, and then the forums will be totally rebuild - No real change in appearance, but in speed and function.

Patting Lilo. It might be the other way around.

I'm fighting with a lot of programming. Of the quite exhausting kind. Not the hard and fun part, but not the boring kind either. But I really don't like stuff that is hard to test.

Well, a test just succeeded now with "Cannot cast mapping to int.", but the stuff has gone through 5 functions that I don't know if they work.

Oh, well. Time to stop whining and get back into the salt mine.

*sigh* Just when I got started really well with the programming, my nose started to bleed and now I don't have enough blood in my brain to think.

OK, I'll go and eat some blodpudding instead then.

That is overusing logic on natural language.

Having "both sexes" as sexual preference means that you prefer sex with both sexes of your own species over sex with your own right or left hand. Selecting that you have sexual preference "none" would then mean that you prefer to not have sex with anyone. This is how the language is defined through usage, so this logic is just an after construction.

It's different to say "I have no sexual preference" and that may basically can mean that you don't mind doing it in any possible way, depending on context.

As it pisses off the record companies.

Here is a newly found Micheal Jackson song: (Or at least a part of it)

This was a little too long for a wiki-comment, but I better put it here too, when I spent so much time writing it... This is explaining why Elftown will happily accept photos of products and logos on EPRM and reference pictures. The reasons are that it's good for freedom of speech, art, creation, progress, distribution of wealth, the Elftowners and it also saves us the problem to uphold a fundamentalist view of the copyright laws. 

Monopolies on copying ideas is the end of progress. All artists and engineers make things that build on things before them. Unlimited copyright monopolies would mean that all artists on Elftown become slaves of the heirs of monopolies and it kills freedom of speech. I and therefore the rules of Elftown is totally against that.

And spreading a photo of something is definitely not even remotely the same as copying the thing in question while lying about what it actually is. If McD doesn't want their logo to be photographed (highly unlikely, but not impossible as lawyers don't miss an opportunity to both steal money from their clients and ruin their business.) they can stuff it where the sun never shines.

If anyone wants to go on a crusade to strangle free flow of information, then you can be totally sure to not get any support from there. I know that the Elftowners will benefit from getting their work spread and name known, and the extremely few artists (hardly Elftowners) that makes enough money only from selling copies have enough money anyway.

To put it in perspective: In Sweden there are 300 authors who can live on writing. 18% of their income come from royalties, and the rest from speeches, sponsors and other things. Of course all these would have benefited more from giving away 50% more books than getting royalties for selling fewer books.

For independent artists the threat from mega-corporations that want to steal their work is very real (Hey, that elf is similar to the one in "our story"! Now give us all your money!) and Elftown is of course on the side of the independent artists.
