Update 10 December: it’s still possible I may have jumped to some conclusions (which can still be seen below). I need to dig a little deeper. Update 27 November: some facts may have been wrong. They should be corrected now. As of the 17th of this month, among some other changes in the network, I [...]

A problem with mainstream media
Posted in internet, news, sweden on January 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In the Swedish Metro yesterday, it reads: (my translation) The Internet went down when the tablet was launched [...] It turned out to be a tablet computer – and perhaps an Internet killer. In any case those who were there in San Francisco, only specially invited guests saw the launch live, had problems reaching the [...]
Swedish wiretapping war, part two

Update 00:30 : fixed an erroneous statement about the “special court”. See also: part one ; demonstrations. All references below are in Swedish, so you may want to use Google Translate. There’s an enormous amount of information available in Swedish blogs and other media, but not so much translated material. Nikke Lindqvist has gathered links [...]
Demonstrations against Swedish surveillance
Posted in fra, politics, surveillance, sweden, wiretapping on September 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m posting some thumbnails of pictures I took of a demonstration in Stockholm on Tuesday, coinciding with the opening of the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament) after the summer.

One would think that the so-called Patriot Act, or the secret wiretapping leaves things to wish for in the US. In any case – given this and similar concepts around the world – Sweden seems to have felt left out (what do I know), so Ingvar Åkesson helped to write a law for giving FRA [...]
Drive-by voting
Posted in iso, ooxml, sis, sweden on December 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Since the Swedish stance in favour of OOXML, I’ve had no particularly exciting moments in the related committee of the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS). Because the decision was withdrawn in the media chaos that followed, Sweden will not be able to vote on Microsoft’s ECMA’s proposal, or go to the Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) in [...]
Sweden outsources its coin production
Posted in coins, sweden on November 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
DN (newspaper in Swedish) writes that domestic AB Myntverket has lost to the competition – and their owner – Rahapaja OY in Finland; the Riksbank (Swedish national bank) are required by law to make public inquiries to see which organizations are suited for the coin production, and setup contracts for some years at a time.
