Hi there!
Sitting at the local (and only) internetcafé downtown, known as Velve.
I wasn't supposed to be working today, but since my friend KVi had an
assignment somewhere else, he asked me to cover him from 9 a.m to 2 p.m.
Since I've been sleeping/sick all week, I thought: "why the hell not?"
Finished 1 hour ago, and I'm confined to this place; updating and checking my e-mail.
   I've been put in charge for a possible chesstournament inside the
Allied Marine Emus clan that I am a proud member of. Whence checking our possibilites
for performing this tour. online, I figured we could host it @ the Zone, my old grounds
of countless Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith games. Ahh, those were the days.
   Damn, the only thing that sux sitting at an internetcafé, is that you're bound to meet ppl
you'd normally do anything to not meet. And the music.. God, the music! *sigh!*
Tonight I'll probably do one of three:
1) Go out with my friends, get blasted and blow my brains out
2) Buy beer, drink @ home all alone and blow my brains out
3) Watch a movie, drinking non-alcoholic beer and blow my brains out.
Or not.

It's fun to play Quake 2 CTFII : latest game:)
I know I suck, but it's fun to play a game every once and a while.




umm..
@school, everything looks dandy. Still not recovered from illness.

Sigg3 o 0 ( Cloroform - Iran )

on my list of Messenger contacts...
Sigg3.net says: hi there
CrazySexyCool says: HEY SWEETIE
Sigg3.net says: eh, sweetie?
Sigg3.net says: Let's not jump to conclusions! But hey! What about friends?
CrazySexyCool says: OK
CrazySexyCool says: well i g2g
CrazySexyCool says: ok
CrazySexyCool says: bye
Sigg3.net says: eh, bye
- another selfexplained evidence that ignorance is bliss:P
   As we say in Northern Norway: "De e h?li !"




Added the links to yesturday's news. Uploaded poems for week 3 and 4
at www.apoet.no. Please; do feel welcome! It's a great page:)
So, this channelhost, Petter Nome, has been fired by NRK (national broadcasting) because of his meanings
concerning the USA - IRAQ conflict and this really pissed me off. So yesturday I sent
an e-mail to tordis.aavatsmark@nrk.no and john.g.bernander@nrk.no
protesting against their non-lib. act. Well, the director of the program, Mari Velsand, replied me this morning.
Now I'm posting the e-mail in norwegian, but I hope to do a translation asap!

God dag!
På vegne av meg selv og ingen annen, vil jeg påberope
meg selv den rett jeg har til å snakke fritt.
I et demoraliserende demokrati styrt av Media, Bush og Annen Faenskap,
ville det være som et øksehugg i min barm, om DERE - N R K - skulle
underkaste Dere de øvriges befalinger. Her har Dere et rykte å ivareta!
Det er dessverre bare igjennom de senere 5 år at jeg virkelig
har nydt godt av Deres kanals tilstedeværelse i min hverdag, og det
angrer jeg bunnløst på. I enhver regntung stund har Dere kunnet bidra med
kunst, litteratur, politikk og kanskje først og fremst underholdning; ikke i
en klasse over de andre, men i en helt EGEN særklasse.
Ergo må Dere på ingen måte fraskrive Dere det ansvaret Dere nå har
tatt på dere, ved å avskjedige Petter Nome på bakgrunn av hans
egne meninger! Om hundrede år er ingenting glemt (!), og da vil
_noen_ kunne rette en finger mot Deres navn! La det ikke skje.
Jeg protesterer.

Med Vennlig hilsen,
Sigjørn S. Åmdal


the reply: Petter Nome og "Sommeråpent"

Takk for din mail vedrørende Petter Nome og "Sommeråpent".

Årsaken til at NRKs redaksjonelle ledelse har bestemt seg for å ikke bruke
Nome som programleder i årets "Sommeråpent", er at hans rolle som sterkt
profilert politisk aktør i den offentlige debatten om en eventuell krig mot
Irak vanskelig kan forenes med rollen som programleder for et
aktualitetsprogram. "Sommeråpent" må kunne presentere aktuelle
problemstillinger, utdype nyhetssaker og gjenspeile den politiske dagsorden.
Dersom Petter Nome skulle ledet en debatt om en sak der han samtidig ble
oppfattet som aktø:r kunne det bli stilt spø:rsmål ved NRKs troverdighet som
uavhengig medieinstituasjon, og det kan vi ikke risikere.

Beslutningen er ikke et angrep på ytringsfriheten eller Petter Nomes
meninger. Våre medarbeidere må gjerne delta aktivt i samfunnsdebatten, og
jeg har stor respekt for Nomes engasjement i denne saken. Men vi som
redaktører må vurdere et slikt engasjement i forhold til den enkeltes
arbeidsoppgaver i NRK. Rollen som politisk aktør i samfunnsdebatten er
umulig å forene med det å være en upartisk og uavhengig programleder i et
aktualitetsmagasin som "Sommeråpent".

Avgjørelsen får ingen konsekvenser for Petter Nomes kontraktsforhold med
NRK. Han er en meget verdsatt medarbeider med bred erfaring, både innenfor
nyhetsarbeid og underholdning, og kommer i tiden fremover til å jobbe med
andre, planlagte programoppgaver for NRK som vi anser det uproblematisk å
kombinere med hans politiske engasjement.

Med vennlig hilsen
Mari Velsand
Programdirekt?r


If you could read this, you'd understand that this woman isn't really replying at all.
They're continuing the cancellation of Nome's title in the summer-show
"Sommeråpent" and this only because of his private engagement in politics.
Things like this pissses me off, so the e-mail I sent was really elegant in order to make them respond.
I hope all of you will send an e-mail to prevent this misconduct of the freedom of speach!

The TAO of Pauly will be conducting an interview with Jon Schanzer and
blogging it to the TAO sometime at the end of next week. If you don't know who he is,
read his bio here.
An expert on Middle East politics, he was interviewed on Fox News 21st of January 2003.

- This would be worth checking out!




Sigg3 o 0 ( Moby - We are all made by stars )

Ugh. I'm sick. I've got the fever, I'm coughing, freezing, sweating...
When a man get's sick, he really gets sick. That applies to me2:)
   The server (and this site) was down yesturday for some reason.
Why? First off, in this haze of insanity I'm finding myself in, I thought that the servers were
sick just as I am.. Then I thought about hackers; and if it were hackers, I hope they got some
bastard uploading childporn, but it's too bad us good fellows are victimized by these
sorts of actions. The third, and most likely, possibility: no webspace provider promises more
than 99.9% uptime, due to maintenance issues and all sorts of sheit. But fuhgeddabaodid! Doesn't matter.
   Salangen-Webdesign will be released later this week, and I hope all you design-
loving animals will stop by:) The site is about 90% finished,
so when I wake up from my feverfantasies I'll finish my part..
This is your Sigg3, (b)logging out.

Sigg3 o 0 ( Tom Waits' Blue Valentine = great hangover chants )

Damn, it's great to be alive, huh? Went out last nite, met all kinds of ppl,
even had a few reasonable discussions. At 10 p.m @ Kroa (tavern..?) I teamed up with
my friend, Raskolniko, and we went out to the pub after three beers somewhen
between 12 p.m and 1 a.m. Since there's this great soccer-gathering here, alot of
ppl was joining us at the pub. Three beers till the light was turned on, then to a cigaretteblended
discussion outside till we were only 4 left. Freezing. Then, all of a sudden, a friend of a friend
who drives a cab drove us home to Raskolniko for nothing. Thanks, by the way!
I'd picked up some beer I hadn't finished New Year's Eve,
and together we had a somewhat interesting nachspiel.
Here's a picture taken by Jon.H Larsen,
who stayed sane and sober all night. Thanks. me (right) and Raskolniko @ the pub
(the rest is history..)
