MovableType4 Upgrade
This is just a technical announcement that seikatsu is now running on new and shiny MovableType 4. The upgrade worked without a single visible glitch (well, I didn’t dare to touch design templates yet), but it wouldn’t be a surprise if I hurt something deeper down. Please let me know if you find something broken.

Mitchell’s number9dream
The way I met this book is quite as bizarre and coincidental as David Mitchell‘s writing itself. I happened to finger through a flight magazine (probably SAS, and probably Copenhagen-London) and stumbled on a brief book review of something that sounded like “fast-paced cyberfiction set in modern Tokyo”. Given my childhood love for anything cyberpunk [...]
Happy Birthday, Mutant Disco!
Last night the Von Krahl theater in Tallinn hosted crowds from all over the past ten years to cheer for the tenth birthday of Mutant Disco. As for many other good things in this category, we have to thank again late John Peel. By becoming a fan of Röövel Ööbik and giving them a lot [...]
Kõige pehmem on maanduda mülkas
Esmaspäeval toimus minu jaoks teine (esimesest juttu siin) Informaatikanõukogu koosolek. Istungi päevakorra ja materjalide seast soovitan vabamal pühadehetkel soojalt tutvuda kolme failiga: Lauri Tammiste ülevaade majanduse olukorrast (PPT) Vaho Klaamanni ülevaade Eesti IKT ärist (PPT) Tõnis Lukase ülevaade IKT hariduse olukorrast (PPT) Kogupilt peaks eriti huvitav olema neile, kes kas jutlustavad majanduse pehmest maandumisest ja [...]
Cash Hurts
NIN‘s Downward Spiral was probably the favorite album of mine in 1994. So when Priidu forwarded me the Johnny Cash‘ version of Hurt above I had a little emotional shock wave. On one hand I can’t believe I’ve missed something this powerful made of a song that left a mark as it was originally. And [...]
Dominican Republic
The virtual radio silence here is excused by a lovely internet-less trip to the Dominican Republic and the busy weeks post-return. I finally managed to sort some photos from there, at least. Cheers to Carlos for thorough briefing ahead on where to go and what to see in his homeland and Rosendo Alvarez III, the [...]
