I have been contacted by the copyright holders for some of the tunes in the music archive and asked to remove a number of tunes. While I may have opinions about that, legally I am compelled to do as they wish. Hence, the archive is a little smaller now.

I encountered a funny scam here in Tenerife that seems to be pretty popular. As you might know, there are a lot of electronics stores here with pretty aggressive sales people. A new way of getting tourists to buy terribly overpriced stuff they don't need seem to go like this:

You are grabbed on the street by someone who wants to look at your digital camera and wants to know if "you have an infrared or regular memory card". You go, "huh? well, a regular one, I guess" and the person drags you into the store "just to show you the difference, no need to buy anything." After complimenting you on your excellent camera the person (or persons) hook it up to a tv, snaps a few pictures to your own memory card, and shows the images that looks really awful - murky and fuzzy. He then swaps to the "infrared card", repeats the process, and - lo and behold! - the images are bright and clear.

Been here in San Eugenio, Tenerife, for six days now and I am starting to feel something like a human being again. Too bad I have to go back to the dark, cold and rainy soon.

Yes I know, I am a bad person. I am not going on long hikes, seeking places where no tourist has been before, or any cumbersome things like that. I am just here to relax, get some sun, and have a few drinks. OK? Do you have a problem with that? Well? Yes, I am talking to you!

Going, going, gone! No more cold, dark, rainy, horrible Swedish autumn - at least for a little while. I'm off to Tenerife coming Sunday, to relax, work on my tan, and drink a lot of beer. This is a much needed break that I am really looking forward to. There will be images in the gallery and perhaps some more stories posted when I get back again.
