Fsck.
I just managed to wipe 1600 Mb worth of compiled archives, over 4 days of complete compilation time. By being on the phone and allowing myself to become distracted.. FSCK.
I'm not happy.
While I admit to being tired in the morning as I read my email, I had to recheck this multiple times. Yes, I'm getting spam, no news there. However, this one is unique in that it goes so -utterly- beyond any kind of idea of marketing, it seems more like an attempt to poison bayesian filters than anything else.

The Net interprets censorship as damage... and routes around it.
And I'm back online, with one of the countrys crappiest ISP's ever, however. The only one that could provide a -somewhat- decent service in the area, after all the DSL companies being botched over by Telia/Skanova who upgrade the station with a total of 15 lines.
Now, I'm here with a more stringent 8/1Mbit connection through a cable. Decent speed, latency is a bit high though.
oh, And another eloge to Phelia, who obviously compete with the Sirius Cybernetics Company about being the first against the wall when the revoultion comes.
For a few years now, a company called bredbandsbolaget (BBB for short) now, BBB offers a reasonably cheap (300-400 SEK/month) 10/10Mbit copper connection. Phelia goes in on the buisness, there is cable in this house provided by them. Copper, ethernet, Cat-5 to the wall. Happy joy as I discover this.
A few calls later and they tell me they offer internet cable, party and hope. Now, in their divine wisdom, they have a market-valuable connection of 200kbps.. or a 500/400 kbps connection, for only 200SEK/month.
Thats right. 0.2 or 0.5/0.4 Mbit/s connections. Compared to their main competitor's 10/10 ....
WHAT THE ... ARE THEESE PEOPLE THINKING WITH?
