The Zhodani Base

I am back from my trip to planet Carinthia. The strange picture below is from the moon of Hochobir.

I am back from my trip to South Africa. In the image below is a strange creature that we found on the beach. Since it looked so alien, I thought I should post it here. More (nicer) images can be found at the berka.se blog.

Since I am a Zhodani, I am not allowed to vote in this Solomani election…

Since today is Vega day, I wanted to tell You that If You want to visit me, You should take bus 541 to Vega (and get off a few stops before the final destination).

ObTrav: In Traveller the Vegans are a minor race from Muan Gwi, close to Vega. Except for my little April fools joke (and what has been written for Classic and Gurps Traveller), Flynn has made a short writeup for T20.

Surfing the internet or running a webserver became illegal today in Sweden.

From July 1:st, there are new laws saying that it is illegal to download copyrighted material. This means that it would be illegal for me to surf on the web.

It has also been ruled that collecting IP-addresses is illegal, and since every webserver does that, it is now also illegal to run a webserver.

This makes Sweden a lot worse than China!

Some links about this.

The press release from the Swedish Riksdag:

What should I do? Should I stop surfing the web, and close down The Zhodani Base, or should I become a criminal?

This is my short review of Last Chance To See by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine from another board.

Read this book. This is important stuff! This is the true story
about how Douglas Adams went all around the world to see and
write about endangered species. The book is not only interesting,
it is also fun to read, since it is Douglas Adams who has written
it, but it is at the same time a very important book about
ecology.

This is not Science Fiction, but since it is Douglas Adams that have written the book I thought that I should post the link here as well.

Is this thing on?

Happy New Years Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
