A politically correct Mediumgeek?!? Earth must be going under

Yesterday I read the following in a book:

"The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read" Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin)

It summed up everything I have been feeling towards my blog since I started writing again. I must have either grown up or become a coward but in any case I no longer have the guts to write the things on my mind. I am not exactly sure what it is that is stopping me but I think it is a mixture of political correctness, people around me that disagree with my views or possess the flaws that I want to critizise, and/or that I find the entries I have started make me sound like an arrogant person that thinks to highly of herself. So maybe I am all that but I would hate to make it too obvious by putting it into writing :) .

So instead of blogging I upgraded my drupal installation. Hmrfm I am really becoming a boring mediumgeek.

Happy geekday!

Belated happy 30th birthday! You look really sophisticated on your new profile picture, like a self-confident woman of the world living her jet-set life.

Gah! Your CAPTCHA is different between preview and post pages!!

Me jet-set?!?

Thank you!

I would never thank of me as jet-setter but thanks for the compliment :)

Why is that nothing ever works? I was hoping that installing a new version would make all my problems go away. The captcha thingy even has a setting which states that if you have done one challenge you shouldn't get another one.... for some reason that doesn't work. #¤%¤%

Captain Cha-cha-cha!

Ah, the captcha is configured so once I have filled out one, it remembers I'm a valid commenter and I don't have to fill out another one in the next reply I make. What I referred to above was that the first captcha displayed twice contains different equations, but perhaps it is on purpose.

A bitchy captcha

Odd, odd, odd! Oh well if it only nags you twice it cannot be that bad :D

Nice new layout :) I think

Nice new layout :)

I think the new "boring" you must be testament to the fact that you don't have enough heavy discussions at the Opera lunchtables! ;)

But, but

Tell me about it! I think we need to bring couple of people in as consultants to get some liveliness into the all too politically correct lunch discussions.

Thanks about the layout... I picked the theme out all by myself :D
Not sure if I like it yet... but, but

mediumgeek

I am an Icelandic mediumgeek who lives in Oslo, Norway. I work at Opera Software making user interfaces for mobile browsers. I like reading and traveling most of all but there are many other things I like sticking my nose into. I have secret liking for getting upset about religious and political matters. Those are topics you are likely to find some entries about on my blog in between other things that happen to interest me then and there. Please note that the opinions here are my own and have nothing to do with my employer, family, or friends.
