Princess Tessy - The Princess Diary - September 2004
September 29 09:38 With some worrysome moments ahead i thought maybe i actually need to escape into the world of computers more than usual. I dont know. But last night i played Far Cry for hours and proved (as usual) that girls can play the fragging games too. Its not uncommon that i do just as well as the top players, i often win the Free For All games and sure am not useless in the Assault games either. Someone from a clan also wanted to recruit me, but i dont even understand those things and besides... i read they have like, officers and generals and things. How can i join a gaming clan then, i am the Princess, i Rule, generals should take my orders no way it could be any other way. *giggles* Oh well, i just happened to discover how to at least start Far Cry servers automagicly, i tried to set it to start (and if on, restart) every 6 hours that should keep it from staying broken too long. The problem was that with Scheduler in Windows XP it made to run the servers as me, but then i bothered to read the error messages and realised maybe i had forgotten my username password. I dont remember what i typed when i installed Windows last time. So anyway, i just entered Administrator instead, and one of the passwords i usually use for secret things. Then it worked, the server program started. So it should stop and start every six hours now, just in case it has got frozen or some errors happen. That seems to happen often, but perhaps that is also because of me not using Windows logged in as Administrator. I also tried something i thought of a long time, will be useless sillyness for anyone not playing that game, but lets just say at one place wich is really tricky to get up to (a roof) when i laid down i ended up upside down looking from the underside of the ceiling. It was weird, first time it happened i thought i would fall through the roof but i didnt. I made some pictures of it, will share that and other things later in the games webpages. Now i need breakfast, and the sleepy hugbears want good morning hugs i let them sleep longer than me today they looked tired. *hugs* 
September 27 18:01 I happened to end up in a thai restaurant for dinner today, but the plan was to eat home made hamburgers today. But i will ofcourse make a hamburger or two for Mr Bear and Lady Bear so they get dinner too. *hugs* 
September 26 19:15 Not much to write about lately, i will be busy with things this coming week so maybe the Diary get none or short updates. But just wait, sometime soon me and the hugfriends will wake up and take better care of the Happy World webthings. It could also happen that i get even more lost in the real world after this next Friday, from positive or negative reasons. But that isnt something i worry about today, now it is Sunday and usually some tv movie in the evening worth watching. We will have nice *hugs* and see what is to see in the tv screen, i should also put some clothes in the washing machines but that can wait until tomorrow also. Hugs are the most important. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. *hug* 
September 24 20:54 Another cozy evening here, i made toasted sandwiches for me and hugbears it made Mr Bear extra smiley. Today has just dissapeared, in afternoon i got sleepy so i rested with two huggy bears close it was so nice. Then some computer game hour and i guess now we sort of go to bed early again. If there is some interesting movie in the tv we will see that but i am tired alread. Maybe Mr Bear isnt tired and want us all to stay awake later in evening though, then i will try to not sleep so early. Mr Bear and Lady Bear are already hiding under our bed cover they look so happy there, i will go and *hug* *hug* them a lot soon. 
September 24 09:14 I feel a bit tired today so i will join Mr Bear and read the morning newspaper. Its always so nice to do things with Mr Bear. *hugs* 
September 23 17:49 We had yummy Lasagna for lunch today, the Garfield webmaster loved it ofcourse. Then i got really sleepy and went to rest on the bed with two huggy hugbears. Now i dont know what to do with evening, but my new passport is ready so if weather is nice i could go for a walk and pick it up. 
September 23 08:39 It worked. Its really silly, but since the script didnt work being run say every day from the crontab in Linux, but worked as a CGI from a web link and also worked fine from SSH prompt. So suddenly i thought there is a little webpage get command in the script wich gets the temperature outside here (see live camera) and well... the bright idea is, i made a new little script wich only get:s the cgi links just as if i run them from the IE. That works. But its really a silly solution... but hmm, since i am no good with those things and the little webmaster also doesnt like Perl or that much, we will keep the strange solution. 
September 23 08:18 For a change i stayed in bed a bit this morning to read the newspaper with Mr Bear. Then i was thinking what to do with this day and suddenly appeared from nowhere an idea for yesterdays web-technical problem. Great! I will have to try it. Its a silly solution and i think real programmers would laugh... but i think, if it works i am happy. I cant stand another half day bothering with one annoying script wich works fine run from two ways but not the automated/timed way. I sure hope my new idea works... 
September 22 20:41 I feel a headache coming here, it makes me think we should have lots of yummy things here if i get a bit grumpy from headaches again. So i will walk to the food shop and grab whatever candies and cookies and chips and things i can carry home. Same as last time, when i happened to buy 1.2kg of big chocolate bars, it will probably be enough yummy things for a few weeks. Not even the big hungry Mr Bear can eat too much candies or cheeze doodles or such too quickly. Hmm, perhaps i go for a new record this time, but that will be difficult becase the last time i carried home two full bags of candies and i think then the only healthy food thing was two liters of milk. Wich i want to take home now too, and some soft bread, and some rice too for serious food. We eat my healthy home cooked food mostly here its not all candies or such then i would look like... well maybe i would look like a bag of chips if i ate only that. 
September 22 16:26 Argh. When i find the solution to this annoying strange problem i will write it on some paper and keep it so it doesnt happen again...
September 22 15:46 When my body got tired now i thought maybe my brain isnt tired, but maybe it is. I got stuck in a cgi script wich i need to work automagicly with cron. Now then... the script works fine if i run it with a web address but when i want to run it with cron it just gets stuck in a loop forever. I changed the script file to .pl and also tried to make the little thing free from errors with warnings on. So now i have no warnings, and it also works if i run the perl program from the secure shell thingy. Fine. But it doesnt work with automatic cron jobs. I just dont like these technical things, Linux is such an annoying thing to have to dive into... But as i wrote once earlier i dont give up when i want something done. I will get it working. And if i cant get it working i will sneak 100$ from Mr Bear and give to anyone who can solve the problem because it is probably easy for anyone used to Perl programming and such. But for me this is just strange... Even the little Garfield webmaster is clueless, but he is happy anyway and so am i. 
September 22 11:48 I did some exercising today and now i am just exhausted. I got so sweaty i dont think i have tired myself so much for at least a month, maybe i noticed tomorrow i overdid things but i hope not. I even feel to lazy now to write more on the computer, so perhaps i just go and join the hugbears on the bed. I will do that, at least for a while to gather energy from their friendly hugs. 
September 22 08:10 Good morning. It seems to be raining today too in most of Sweden so guess i will have a day at home, but that is nice too i have all the hugfriends close. Mr Bear says maybe i should also try and plan the business plan for my little adventure with 1000$ later, could be a good idea since i wanted i started October 1st. But its just for fun and to test my brain capacity a little, and no the idea has nothing to do with Mr Bear collecting taxes again later, if he bothers to do that he likes to just rest in the bed all day. But he likes to count taxes on the big green fluffy pillow too. Oh another note i need something for the WinAmp so i can record music from DI radio. I just want to be able to save some music as mp3 files instead of listening to whatever is playing randomly. I bet there is something somewhere to do that, why i want it is because the DJ mixes would be great for a party, and also so i can listen to some favourites when i want to. I know one isnt supposed to record music streams, some think it is illegal but you know what? People recorded music from radio with tape casettes a long time ago and for personal use it isnt a problem. The problem is if i would do like many others do and share what i record on those P2P things so others can copy my recordings. So there. There is no difference recording music on tapes or cdr or minidiscs or whatever for my own use, or recording video on a vhs tape or a dvd recordable or directly into the computer, for my own use. Its ok to do that. I dont have anything to record tv with though. Anyway no hurry with recording radio streams and i will probably listen to the streams mostly anyway recorded files dont suddenly update with new musics they are just the same forever... 
September 21 21:45 So much raining today. Tired now but if it rains more tomorrow i will be in computer corner to write email and try to do some webthings. Now me and hugbears go hide under the bed covers. Mr Bear thinks we should watch the next Apprentice tv because we missed it last week and since he is the economy bear here he is a bit interested in that program. I thought it was sort of interesting too and a bit fun sometimes. I just wonder if the guys lost last weeks competition then there is maybe only two or one left in the guys team. It would be sort of cool if there is only women left for the second half of that series. *giggles* 
September 21 13:44 Went to the hairdresser today, i have decided to try a new place because i wasnt happy last time i went to my usual place. So now i will go to a smaller place i think that could be nicer also with less people waiting and so. Its also close to a favourite cafe so if there would be many people waiting to get their hair cur or so then i could just walk some meters to the cafe and sit there a while. It isnt fun weather today so i went back home to the warm and non-rainy castle. I dont know what more to write for now. Oh, i saw another funny wig in the new hairdresser place it is darker blue wich is what i wanted once earlier when i got some more coloured wigs. But then the internet photo showed a darker blue hairpiece and the one i got was lighter blue same as one i already have. So i have two of that colour wich is quite useless i dont use them so much that i need two. But now i saw the correct colour there, i am thinking to maybe go back tomorrow and buy it and get it styled as i want it also. 
September 20 19:58 Early bedtime again for me and hugfriends. Good night. *hugs* 
September 20 13:24 I also went to renew my passport today, i wonder if i bring the hugbears along as passengers do they too need passports? I dont think so, but it would be sort of fun if i could get a passport for Mr Bear. Also some new wine bottles for our little wine place wich has been empty since the summer.
September 20 08:03 One thing i happened to notice yesterday, is that the rather expensive graphics card i bought lately suddenly dropped about 50$ in price. Hmm... guess we should have waited on week with ordering? Those kind of things are annoying. Its not like i am very upset i know those things happen one week or another, but still... 50$ is enough to buy lots of cookies or watch some movies or whatever. Hmm. I was actually looking for a new sound card too, it will be the last thing i need to get new except perhaps a flat monitor if i later find out those are kinder to computer-staring eyes. I had an old soundblaster sound card in my older computer, but the two newer that replaced the older (pentium 3) had built in sound. The newest i use now also has surround sound built in. But its not great sound quality, my ears can hear such things easily because i have good headphones. So i want a separate sound card for writing new musics later, and also just to have nicer sound quality from DI radio and wherever. Thinking of the 50$ price drop on the graphics card, that is almost half the cost of a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS (if i remembered names and numbers correctly...) so that makes it a little silly. Oh well... my synth is in the storage room now anyway so no big hurry with better sound. I will spend several cold winter days writing new musics later though, i always wanted to create my own CD with one sort of music or another. Today i have to visit the optician (or whatever the english word is) to check my eyes, just to see if i have good sight or so. Much nicer to visit that place than the dentist... I really dont like visiting the dentist, i dont think many people do.
September 20 07:50 I was happy to find an email this morning. It made me have less to think about for the future of webthings. 
September 19 18:57 We get tired so early in evenings now. I will go to bed now so there is time for lots of nice *hugs* before me and hugbears fall asleep. We are thinking to see some movie in the tv but i think it has to be something interesting or we will just get sleepier. About the Doom 3 game, wich is apparently very hyped, i have got some way into it and met scary spiders and some bigger monsters. It is getting really difficult i think, and the sounds are really scary. But as i read someplace, it does get repetitive. Walk through a door and face monsters. Or the obvious thing i noticed, when picking up health things or weapons ammunition, that also often makes zombies or whatever appear. Anyway i wont play that game in evenings i think it could cause nightmares really... Now i just want nice big hugs from Mr Bear and Lady Bear. Here is a big *HUG* from us to you too if you want one. 
September 19 13:48 We got sleepy early yesterday, i had thought we could have a nice evening watching tv and having nice hugs but we went to sleep before 21. Anyway now i have tried to play some more of the Doom 3 game and after getting used to it a little it isnt so weird as i first thought. But it sure is scary, i dont care too much for the graphics in that game it is the sound that makes the creepy feelings appear. The lamp/weapon problem i realised is the way its ment to be, because sometimes the lights go out and zombies or strange monsters appear. It really is scary. One thing i cant do though is keep any sort of orientation, like where should i go now and where is north and south or such. I just move forward, sort of, and it usually so far takes me the right way. Wich means there isnt much of a choice where to go and what to do. I am thinking i will perhaps try to get to the end, but if it gets too scary or too difficult i will hurry up and try some less violent and scary computer game. I found another nice set of warm things for winter and also a nice red jacket i will order today. I have been thinking this way and that way what to do with modeling this or that. I still dont know what to do. I know some people want a serious Princess, and many want a sexy model, but i guess i will just model clothes i feel like and that will be all. Those who like me do that, those who dont can just go away right? Anyway i could be busy next week with some important things, but i will try to find time and also begin making things on the www.princess.nu domain wich i got a year ago and it is ment to have a bit of this and that on it. My sewing room webpages are ment to be there, and if i can bother maybe serious sports pages. Also the hugfriends will get their homepages there that will be so much fun to do. Well now i dive back into the scary game, i actually play games also so i can write about them on the games webpages later. 
September 18 15:20 Where are photos 540 to 1257 from my digital camera... this isnt funny, the first photos are on a cdrom but i couldnt find the missing hundreds. The only place i can think of is that i saved them on the fast SCSI harddrive wich is 8Gb. But the scsi card i have didnt want to fit easily in the new computers pci slots, i tried once because the cd burner i have is also scsi so it too needs that card. Guess i have to try more serious to squeeze that scsi card into one of the computers, because i will be really upset if i cant find those missing hundreds of older photos.
September 18 13:12 Just had a nice bath and now i waste time in computer corner... dont really know what to do, i had planner to maybe visit the city but its boring weather so i stay at home. 
September 18 07:32 I just found my first homepage. It is on a cdrom, it has guestbook entries from summer 1999... at that time there was no Happy World, and i remember when i felt i had to close it, i felt so sad. That has its real world reasons, and the reason i searched through old cdroms to find it, is because i have to bring that homepage back to life. It will be in Swedish, and there will be no link to it anywhere around here. Sorry, but you cant find it because the Happy World is one thing, and the real world is another. I have decided to do what i have to do, no matter what anyone else thinks about it. I will be busy reviving my first homepage this weekend, but i will get back to the Happy World as soon as i can and i promise there will be more happenings around here too. Mr Bear says i should let him register Citizens again, not because we need moneys but because it is the only way we can know who actually likes what we do or not. We will give out a few tax free Citizenships for long time friends of the Happy World, but you will have to ask me about it. Some i can think of right now would be Xev and Air Bear, and the Prince from Hollywood unless he is too busy with reality nowadays. Oh well... i better get the old homepage ready for the Internet. 
September 18 05:16 Early bedtime, early morning. Just ordered some warm knitted things for the cold winter, since i am no hugbear with warm fur i need warm clothes when it gets cold. I also happened to find some sleepyclothes that i liked so i got them too, one pyjama set has a really true text writte on the top and pants i will show them later. 
September 17 20:31 Me and hugbears will just have a cozy evening in bed, i feel tired already so we all probably go to sleep early. At least now the sleepy hours are more normal so i wake up in the morning, its nice to have good morning hugs again. Good night hugs are nice too. *hug* 
September 17 16:49 I forgot to have a look at this again with the new graphics, i watched the Dawn graphics demo once with my old graphics it was sort of cool. But i think the newer demos could be even more interesting to download... 
September 17 16:32 I just realised something interesting with Far Cry multiplayer... Now that i have a great graphics card, i can have High details and effects and whatever. It still works better than the old graphics card. But i noticed, with high environment details, i get more of the trees and bushes and things, even in multiplayer. So i thought it looked nicer on the multiplayer maps, but then i realised... if i try to hide behind one of the extra bushes, someone who has low or medium settings probably sees me anyway. So that isnt a good idea really. Also even if it looked great in the single player mission, wich i only played a little bit with the new graphics, it was too much grass in some places. It could be good for hiding, but also means it got more tricky to see where the badguys are... so i guess both positive and negative with more graphic details sometime. 
September 17 14:46 I guess that game has nice graphics, but i didnt like the darkness everywhere. Anyway i tried to get forward in the game and after finding some scientist it seems the scary monsters appeared and zombie things were everywhere instead of people. I have become quite good with the 3d shooting game Far Cry, but Doom 3 is so dark and totally different. Also with the darkness, a light is needed. But one cant have that light and a weapon at the same time. Wich is really stupid. I stopped playing after i had shot some zombies and had little health left, maybe i try some more later but i dont think this game is anything for me.
September 17 13:36 Well i am going to try that Doom 3 game today, i should return the games soon anyway so i better move on with seeing what could be fun to buy. Just hope i dont get a worse headache again, but then at least i can assume it would be from the monitor, and then i would avoid computers all weekend... Now lets see if the scary game can scare me. 
September 17 10:41 Oh no again... i suddenly got this big 'doubt' again. The thought that since so few care about this or that, why should i? I dont know. I know one thing though, i shouldnt write about these things in this diary. Reality is one thing and the Happy World is... happy. It will always be happy. Perhaps i just need some serious Fun to forget about ignorant people.
September 17 10:23 Oh no, i got the boring headache again. I waked up very early today and was only up maybe an hour, then i have rested on sofa and then i moved to the bed so the hugbears could try and help my poor head. It is better now, but its like the headache is just resting in my head, waiting to come back for whatever reason. I wish i knew why i get this sometimes, so i could avoid it easier. Maybe its that i sometimes eat too little, i realised yesterday i only had two home made hamburgers in the whole day. Wich isnt really enough to eat. It could ofcourse also be from staring at computer monitor, but somehow i doubt that is the only cause for these boring headaches. Oh well... as long as i dont get it several days in a row again, i will be ok. 
September 16 17:38 I borrowed some games just to try them. I tried car racing with Need for Speed Underground, it was good i guess, it looked good and sounded like i guess it should. But i only had keyboard to steer the car with so i my only racing on easy competition i got last anyway... But i think those could be fun. I also have that Doom 3 for testing, but im not sure i will bother. Sure i read everywhere it has great graphics and some write the sound is also good. But also it is only about running around shooting scary monsters from hell, it probably gets boring after a while. But i think i will try it anyway, unless it is too scary. Some wrote they got really scared when monsters surprised them. And since graphics are good i guess it would be like a scary movie, except one is part of it in the game. I remember when i played Morrowind, i was up late in night and with headphones i heard sound very well. I was outside and it began to rain, and then suddenly there was thunder and lightnings and the sound just was loud and scared me really bad first time. But that was mostly because i didnt know there was such weather in that game. Anyway me and hugbears saw some Discovery tv program about bees, it was sort of interesting. I think we will see what more interesting things we can see on that channel, we sort of like to learn about new things here. Many things can be interesting without one even knowing about them in the first place. 
September 16 15:03 I just found a site about computer games, i will have a look around the Internet to see what could be interesting to play. I found a chess game review, i am no good with that but if its possible to play with each other over Internet maybe it could be fun to have. Who would win most chess games, a clever Citizen or the clever Princess? Oh well i see what there is, but i know i prefer games like Sim City and Morrowind, i guess that is strategic games and role playing adventures caregory or so. 
September 16 13:47 Hmm, dont think i will bother to save the world in that Far Cry game once more. It looks much nicer now, but except that its the same game. I will find something else later. Now me and hugbears are hungry and want some yummy home made hamburgers. I was actually thinking to buy lasagna yesterday, i just happened to see it in a lunch menu from a restaurant. But i took some hamburgers from the frozen stuff instead. And maybe the little Garfield webmaster would get too excited in one day if he both gets a new super graphics card and also lasagna the favourite garfields food. But i really like lasagna too i think we will eat it in weekend instead. 
September 15 15:16 So there, i picked up the package, shopped some food and jumped into a taxi to get home. I walked there but since i bought some frozen hamburgers to put in freezer i didnt feel like walking home. Anyway now i have a brand new graphics card in the computer brainy, its red and nice. But i got a surprise first time when we switched the computer on because the two cooling fans made noise like crazy, i even heard it through the door and into my room! But luckily then i installed some program wich adjusts cooling to what is needed, and then it got quite silent mostly. At least there is no noise when Windows is used. Now i have seen the Mother Nature benchmark nicely. It is part of the 3DMark 2003 benchmark program i found some month ago. Guess what? The 3dMark score i found somewhere from a 6800 Ultra card was 11526, and i just got... 11739. Maybe the smileys help make my ultra clock frequency GT card run faster than the real Ultra graphics cards. *giggles* Anyway it sure is a difference with 3d graphics... and i dont think i will need anything new and faster for a long time. I just had to get these new toys when i earlier saw that my old unwanted budget graphics were soooo much slower than the new things. I didnt know that until i saw numbers and compared to these new things. But now i know, and i have seen the difference too. Now i will go save the world in Far Cry single player once more. But first some *hugs* to the little Garfield webmaster who helped me install this big heavy graphics brain in my computer. *hug* We even had to move the harddrive up one place so the graphics would fit in there. I think the harddrive is now where a diskette drive is ment to be, but i dont have any of those. 
September 15 07:51 Good morning. *hugs* I watched some morning tv and news, it seems weather will get rainy and so again later today, so i better get out and do some things before clouds get here. I think i can get the new graphics card today, delivery tracking said the card was in the postal service place yesterday afternoon. But since i havent got the little paper wich says i can go and pay for the package, i couldnt get it yesterday. Anyway if i can pick it p today i have something to do when the rain gets here. I tried something new just now, because for some reason the multiplayer gaming server stops working regularly. I found the sheduled activities in Windows, and tried to make it start and stop the server automaticly every 4 hours. The idea is simple, if the server freezes or something, it will always restart and work again in some hour. Hope it works. Anyway i looked around some and will try other games too, i found there are golf games, car racing and probably much else than those shooting 3d games. I would probably do better with computer golf than at the greens, i need luck to be good with miniature golf and i havent even tried real golf yet. Maybe i should sometime. Car racing games i guess could be cool, if i get my own car sometime i sure wouldnt go driving around too fast or so. I can just imagine that a car game in a fast PC computer, with steering wheel, surround sound, and perhaps run on a projector for a really big picture. Well that would be almost like really driving a fast car. At least as close as i would ever get. Sure i could buy a sports car, but its a lot safer to drive fast in a game. Oh well... first i will go food shopping. 
September 14 09:39 Rainy weather today, i had thought to do some things in city and such but with this weather i prefer to stay inside. So i will just continue editing the Far Cry map and see what happens with it. Sure i am no professional game level designer or so, but at least this will be a new map that nobody played on before. Well i have to do some testing and looking i just noticed a house is floating a little above the ground... And i just realised since i out some few things inside that house, it wouldnt be clever to move the house down. Then the things inside probably also have to be edited down. Easier to move the ground up instead. 
September 13 14:22 Read some in the forums, that game is apparently planned to be released winter 2005, guess i better find some other things to play until then... 
September 13 13:50 Weeee! I just found news about exactly the computer game i want to play with this new graphics card i get soon. The next generation Morrowind, Elder Scrolls IV. A first look is in a magazine next month, i almost think i will find a way to get that. I didnt actually finish Morrowind even if i played that for so many hours i cant count them. I probably could have finished that game but i forgot about it when i got other things to think about. And there is also 2 more adventure expansions to that older game. Anyway i will be waiting for the new role-playing adventure game... I just happened to visit that game creators website, i was actually at computer to look for some nice little vacation. But perhaps i just stay around home rest of year, my hugfriends dont want me to go away so many days as 7, and i dont want to leave them alone in the castle more than half a day either. Hugs are so nice, Mr Bear and Lady Bear are my best hugs! *hug* *hug* 
September 13 13:05 Already did some useful things today, i went to the bank vault with a new computer backup harddrive. And visited a cafe to have a lunch sandwich with a friend, then she left for studies and i went back home. Now i think it could be nice with a cup of tea and some *hugs* with hugfriends. 
September 13 08:41 Another week begins, today beginned with an express delivery from the US with something fun i ordered. Except trying that later, i really dont know what to do. Maybe webthings, maybe the Far Cry gaming map, maybe get out in sunshine and visit city or something else, who knows. 
September 12 15:08 I finally learned how to do things in the 3d world editor. It is really tricky and takes hours to create any serious ideas, but i will try to get a first gaming map done before i get the new graphics card. Now i need something to eat, and some hugs. 
September 12 01:40 Me and hugbears got tired in afternoon and didnt wake up until some hour ago. Guess the strange sleeping habits continue here... Anyway i will now dive into the Sandbox editor and read the help documents carefully so i can be creative. 
September 11 15:27 Hugbears helped me get happy again after the sad surprise this morning. *hugs* Since i should get the new graphics card for computer next week, i think i will try to learn the map creation program to Far Cry a bit this weekend. I created my own map to play on with Sim City 4 and that made it a bit more fun, with my own Happy World islands. But this other game seems way more complicated to create gaming maps with, because it is a 3d world and so far i couldnt even create the land in the Sandbox editor. But i will search for information and learn so i can create something. I am sure i am not the only one a bit tired of the standard multiplayer maps. But i mostly liked the single player game, first time i got to be the hero and save the world from a crazy scientist. Anyway as one can expect from me, i have unique ideas for multiplayer shooting games too. Wait and see. Later in the little website i will add useful links, also write some help for those who want useful tips to get better and so, a little of this and that... 
September 11 10:35 What a bad start of the day... i thought i should walk to the food shop in the nice weather, and get some things for a nice evening in sofa. So i was walking there thinking of this and that... when i saw some little birds on the side of the road. Then a car drived by... most birds got away, but apparently one was hit by the car. And when i got close to where the birds had been, it was trying to fly but it couldnt. It limped away from the dangerous road towards the grass and bushed, and it just made me so sad. It was the same really negative feeling i got when i accidently killed a bumblebee in the window shutters, when i was just wanting to close them so the bumblebee could see where to get our. They get confused with glass, but cant fly through it even if they try forever. Anyway it was a shock to me seeing this poor bird, it totally changed my mood. When i had walked the meters to the little birdie, i just didnt know what to do and felt so sad for the poor animal. I know i couldnt have helped the bird much, even if i wanted. So i just watched it for a while crawling away from the road. Then i continued walking to the food shop. I left the bird, and hope it wasnt too badly hurt by the car. I think if i had brought my mobile phone, i might have actually tried to take the little bird to a veterinarian. I would have called a taxi and taken it to the animal doctor and hope it could be helped, and no i wouldnt care if it cost me lots of moneys to have a veterinarian help a little bird on the weekend. I care. But i had no phone, and so i let nature have its way. Except this time, and probably many times every day outside of my sight, cars do these kind of things to animals. It just hurts to suddenly see it. Again. I remember when several hedgehogs had been run over on the same road. Oh well... I have to stop thinking of this negative start of the day. I saw yesterday a tv program and some woman took care of hedgehogs, she gave them food, let them winter-sleep in a safe place, then let them free in some safe place away from too much people. It made me smile. I will try to think of people like that, instead of dangerous cars.
September 11 08:53 Good morning. *hugs* 
September 10 19:34 No baking today but probably tomorrow. I am really tired so i go to bed extra early. Good night. *hugs* 
September 10 13:58 Food! I need something to eat. Somehow i got the nice idea a while ago to bake buns. It was a long time since i bothered with that, but newly baked buns are so yummy i think i have to make some this weekend. I dont think i will get the idea out of my head until i get some baking done so... The hugfriends like warm buns too, mmm it makes me all smiley to think about newly baked buns and warm *hugs* in the cozy sofa. 
September 10 11:01 Here is a link to a test of the graphics card i should get next week, no swedish this time it is in english. 
September 10 11:01 If you live in Sweden and also want a new super graphics card for your PC, this is where we finally found someone with stock 6800 GT cards. And these are apparently ok to run at same speed as the Ultra cards, so basicly that means no noticeable difference in performance. This is a swedish internet shop so sorry everyone else.
September 10 06:58 Another early morning. I just decided to have a friend make sure i get a new hraphics card no later than next week. Doesnt matter what it costs or where it comes from, autumn is here and i want to play computer games. The little webmaster will also try and keep an eye on new computer technology so i know what to buy later when its time to upgrade computer brain things. The hugfriends are so anxious to get their own webpages, i better try and help get them started soon. 
September 09 22:39 For the curious, the extra speedy Ultra graphics card i saw cost over 1000$ wich means the extra MHz costs quite a lot compared to the standard models. Not that any of those graphics card models can be considered cheap... 
September 09 22:23 Getting one of those GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards seems tricky, it seems nobody has them in stock. The little computer shop i ordered one through said their supplier should get the one i ordered about now so i will ask about it tomorrow. It seems the suppliers just move dates forward like they cant get enough of those super cards. Anyway... i found one place today wich has the non-ultra graphics version in stock, doesnt cost much less but the GT model i found says it is factory warrantied to overclock up to Ultra speed. So i guess that makes it an Ultra then, except a review wrote it has two cooling fans also wich makes it noisy. But i wouldnt care too much about that since i dont have any computers in my room anyway. They can have 20 fans over there in their own computer space... I dont really know how much better those 3d graphics cards perform with some MHz frequency this or that. But Ultra has 400MHz brain frequency, the GT is supposed to be 350MHz, but the one i found has warranty to be run at 400MHz i would assume its ment to be overclocked since it has better cooling especially for that. Would be the first time i ever do that, who wouldnt if they say its ok? Anyway from the same internet shop i also found, but not in stock, a graphics card that is ment to have 450MHz brain speed. I guess it doesnt matter too much then what i get, always something better somewhere. And im not sure i need the 'best' computer graphics anyway... But i will see later what to do, *hugs* are actually nicer than playing computer games and there is no waiting for them we have a million hugs in stock here in the Happy World. *hug* They are free too. *hug* 
September 09 21:23 Someone else bid more than me for the pretty dress i happened to find in eBay auctions. Oh well, she can have it because i should be sewing more myself anyway. And since its a nice dress someone else gets for (probably) a nice price, it makes someone else happy, wich makes me happy to think about. So i dont care much i didnt win with my bid. 
September 09 21:17 Strange hours for sleeping still here, it seems like too much worry to turn days into days again so i will just sleep when i get tired and wake up when i wake up. The only thing that is a little stupid is the nights, because being awake all nights isnt as nice as being awake normally in day hours. Not much sunshine in nights, everyone else sleeps too. But i think if i just forget about trying to force back to normal days, it will just happen sometime. And when i someday wake up in the morning, and get sleepin in the evening, i will just make sure it stays that way. Not much done today so far, because i got sleepy about normal peoples lunch hours and morning was 8 in evening... 
September 08 10:50 I went home after the bank visit anyway Mr Bear welcomed me back with a big *hug* so nice. The bank usually opens 9.30 but now they changed opening time to 10 wich i had no idea about because i dont go there often. So i walked to one of my usual favourite cafe places, but they too open 10... So i remembered there were two cafe places i know that are also for early breakfast and such. Ofcourse i walked to the closest and they open 8 in morning so i had an extra breakfast there with a nice chicken sandwich. 
September 08 08:07 Another strange night awake, mostly doing nothing. Today i will try to be away from home mostly, then i cant go to sleep in the day. But i come home in evening and will make toasted sandwiches for me and hugbears and whoever else maybe want one or two. If i am going to try some business like adventure later i better try and make the homepage better first so it is done, maybe i can think of some clever way to update the latest food in live camera page cleverly. I always get hungry if i happen to see the Toast Skagen photo on that page because i remember when i made those it was soooo yummy. But i dont eat those every day and so there should be other eatables there more often than those sandwiches. Anyway i put live camera on again in evening so come visit us if you want. *hugs* Something completely away from webthings or business adventures, i found a new pretty dress i want in eBay so i will try to win it. I wont bid too much though, because if someone else wants it really much, they can have it i already have most clothes i need. Guess i should try to stop thinking friendly like that for next month or competing in the world of competitive business might not go well... Oh well, now i just wait a while because shops or even the bank in city isnt open yet. Mr Bear says its great i help him with some bank things because then he can rest his short legs. I have much taller legs than him so i am better to go on such missions. But Mr Bear has great soft feet, i sometimes give him massages for the feet so they stay happy. I will put a picture of the new dress i found here later i think it looks really nice and so did Lady Bear she thinks it is perfect for me. *hugs* 
September 07 23:50 I forgot, multiplying moneys is also easy with a printer. 
September 07 23:49 I will spend this month planning and preparing the project, let the business project begin October 1, so watch me do miracles with real world moneys in 3 months. Dont be surprised if the stock value (based on actual available money, not speculations) takes off like nothing available on the NY stock market or anywhere else. Think i have too much confidence in my clever brain? No way... Multiplying moneys is easy, just a little big of magic needed. 
September 07 23:42 Mr Bear thinks i can do better than the business people in the Apprentice tv series. And he also said maybe if i get something serious to think of i dont mistakenly sleep away whole days, even if the hugbears also think its very nice to *hug* *hug* *hug* extra much. Could be true. We will put away a 1000$ small fund to start a little business project, watch the 'stocks' value later to see where it goes. If i cant double the little investment before christmas i wont bother with business things anymore. I dont need to do that anyway, its just for fun and so. Perhaps if it goes really well, Mr Bear can open his own little stock exchange and let Citizens invest in our no-risk for-profit adventure. One thing i realise this could also do is prove to doubters that i have a clever brain. In case some people doubt that... 
September 07 23:05 Oops, nothing at all done today except sleeping and hugging in bed. Wich is really nice. But i had other plans and the sleeping in days is getting a little out of hand here...
September 07 07:45 Good morning. Finally i think the mornings will be mornings again. First i make a big lunch-y breakfast because i am so hungry, the nice filet from oxen and mashed potatoes again. Then i maybe go and visit the city to help Mr Bear with some bank things, but perhaps i wait with that until after todays mail arrived. I will see. Anyway i plan to take home then also a yummy big chicken baguette for afternoon *grompf*-ing. 
September 07 01:19 Click the link. 
September 06 15:52 Argh! Why do some website have really annoying sounds that cant be switched off. I was listening to music from the DI Internet Radio when i visited a site, and heard some squeeky flutes disturbing the music. Seriously, it may sound nice in reality but not in low quality Flash sound looping forever. Eeeek! I came there to find information about nice hotels in St Tropez...
September 06 11:31 Going to city today or not... decisions decisions... I thought the mail could be a way to spend some time, but it sure wasnt much interesting for me there. Hmm, perhaps i should let the weather reports decide. Because weather is sort of nice today, its windy but sort of warm anyway. Perhaps its raining tomorrow, and then i will feel stupid if i didnt get our more today. 
September 06 10:43 Had my bath and made my own sort of lunch, with a mix of expensive meat and cheap potatoes. I think i will visit the city later today but not sure, i tried to find someone to have a city-day with but nobody could do that. Many people are so busy most of the time. But not Mr Bear he always has time to be with me. *hugs* And Lady Bear too. *hugs* If it wasnt for me absolutely not wanting to fall asleep in the day today, i would just go and be lazy with my hugfriends. But i cant do that much, because i often get sleepy when i rest with them. Anyway i just write here to have something to do... 
September 06 08:26 Hmm, what to do with today then... i dont know really. Compared to those with really busy planned days, i guess mine arent so bad even though i often dont have any ideas what to do. Because it means i can do almost anything i can think of. For this evening though, i think i will just remember to go to bed no later than about 22 so i wake up in mornings again. And also i thought to make yummy toasted sandwiches for me and hugfriends, especially Mr Bear likes those. *hugs* And he was so nice company in night when i couldnt sleep much. 
September 06 07:58 Hihi. A hotel chain i am thinking of getting a member card with, seems to have started a competition. Three winners will get a Breitling watch, not exactly the model i want but anyway its a nice price my calculator says over 5000$ or 40.000 swedish moneys. The problem is, to win that competition its the first members who stay 200 nights at their hotel chain that wins. Hmm. Well if i move into their hotels sort of permanently for 200 days i am sure i would win. But that would ofcourse cost a lot more than simply buying a watch, so not good economics. *giggles* Anyway its really fun how much information is to find on Internet. I can find anything from famous restaurants in New York to small local cafe's and things. 
September 06 05:35 Oops, i got stuck with finding interesting things in the big Internet. I should try to get some sleep, but since the beeps are only 25 minutes away perhaps i may as well wake up instead. I know i can get normal sleeping habits again in one day, its just a matter of discipline. But its probably a good idea today, if i keep myself really busy with this or that. 
September 06 03:43 I think i managed to sleep a little so far. But i am just not tired, and so this night will just be some resting with Mr Bear. Lady Bear is asleep so we try to keep quiet. So its just me and Mr Bear resting on the bed with our noses close, thinking about this and that. And that is why i went up to do a little research in computer, to find some answers if they are somewhere in the big Internet. Then its back to bed and wait for the morning beeps... 
September 06 00:55 I dont think it will be easy to sleep now, but i will go to bed anyway. If i can then wake up from whatever sleep i got, and be up before about 9 in morning, that is good. This could be more like a rest than sleep, so i wont bother to change into sleepyclothes. Perhaps i cant sleep at all, then i will just hide under my cozy cloak and *hug* my hugfriends all night until the little phone beeps. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. *hugs* 
September 05 23:45 Live camera is back, i set the little phone to beep 6 in morning, and so i hope to wake up then. I choosed early hours, because then i should be tired tomorrow evening and can sleep like normal people again. 
September 05 23:06 I dont know what to do with all this night... some things are fun in days, but not so much at night. Like going out for a walk, sure there are lamps but still its nicer in day. And everyone else is in bed so i cant go visit anyone. No open shops either, except Internet shops. Perhaps if i go to bed soon, and set some beeping thing to wake me up in early morning, and then really get up in morning, that could make my days be days again. I think i will try that, because the best idea i have for nightly-days is watching tv or sitting in computer corner. And that gets boring after a while.
September 05 20:14 Same wake up time as yesterday, at least this time i went to bed 7 in morning so instead of 17 hour sleep i only had a more normal 10 hour night. Except the night was all day, and now it is evening. This is getting confusing... 
September 05 06:59 Boring night, i think i go sleep a while. I updated the live camera to now also have streaming for anyone, as it once was. Anyway i go rest a while with my hugfriends, but some beeping will wake me up 12 in day. The plan is if i can get up then, i should be at least a little tired next evening, and then i can try to slowly get normal sleeping hours again. The staying up until next evening didnt exactly work last time i tried... so perhaps better luck this time. Besides its night in some parts of the world now so good night *hugs* to you, even if its good morning here, or should be. 
September 05 03:19 Intersting. I never had that MSN Messenger before, but a lot of people asked about it in the past. So today i installed it to try it with a friend. And it seems a useful thing for chatting, it also includes webcamera both ways. So i think that could be a really useful program to use with Citizens later. Unless i get lots of Microsoft advertising in my email or so...
September 05 01:20 Actually, Microsoft should go hunt down whoever abuses security flaws in the IE. If they cant fix the problem, they can hurt whoever exploits it for profit. Unless its some Russian mafia guys, i guess. Oh well... i am thinking to make the big changes around my homepage right now, more coffee and no sleep. Could keep me busy until tomorrow evening, then i can try again to sleep normally. So dont be surprised if some things move around around here in the coming days. 
September 05 00:46 I also got about 5152362346 stupid 'favourite' links added to my IE. Well those are easy to remove (sort the links directiry by Date and Delete!), be gone damn illegal advertisers. I feel like contacting a friend next week, someone who might make those loosers pay for disturbing my Internet experience. I promise, if i ever get one of those unwanted installs again, i will have friends track the offenders down, sue their companies to bankruptcy and do just about anything that the law can do to hurt them. We can do that, so watch out whoever shady people you are out there thinking that illegal installs or hacks on peoples PC's is a good trick to use for business... It can bite back badly some day. Yes i am annoyed. Good i found the helpful program.
September 04 21:22 This is silly, i went to sleep in normal hours last evening, and now i happened to sleep extra long and waked up 5 in afternoon. So i am almost back to the strange hours once again... Oh well, i will just forget trying to wake up in mornings again, sometime sooner or later sleeping hours will get normal again. Anyway when i went out on Internet some time ago, i once again happened to get a stupid Ad-Ware crap thing installed from an innocent webpage. It happened once earlier, i got some crap from a guestbook. The first one i got was really nasty, with not only changed IE startpage, but also hijacked Google search, a trojan to log all searches and probably passwords and whatever too. Luckily i noticed that first thing, didnt login anywhere important, and after a lot of searching and tries i got everything removed, except the Google seacrh hijacking wich still happened sometimes. I think that first thing modified IE itself or something. Anyway... today i got more of that 'fun' and i still cant believe Microsoft doesnt stop this. I bet thousands of people have bad things like this in their computers and dont even know about it. *hugs* So today i found a free program wich seems to work better than Ad-Aware for finding and removing spywares, adwares, malwares and whatever they are named. So here is a tip, go get it, run it, clean your computer, then run that program regularly. I put the link in my Links page so go and download it right away. *hugs* That program doesnt scan for viruses though, so have some other program for that.
September 03 22:15 Bedtime for me after this long day, at least now i should wake up in the morning and not in late days or evening. Good night. *hugs* 
September 03 20:56 Evening, and no day sleeping today. 
September 03 14:40 Now i have to be careful or i could fall asleep, i just had dinner, i guess its a bit early but i was up since last evening to correct my days and nights and so i wanted dinner now. But i often get sleepy after i eat, and right now i feel very much like giving my hugfriends lots of hugs. I will go do that, but also try to not get sleepy. And if i get sleepy i guess its time for another cup of coffee so i keep my eyes open until evening.
September 03 13:11 No sleeping so far. I could even *hug* Mr Bear a while without getting sleepy, probably the coffee so good for me that i bought some of it. And i will probably sleep well tonight and then i hope this silly sleeping is over. Me and hugbears want good evening *hugs* and goodmorning *hugs* and its best if they are in the right place in time too. Morning hugs should be in the morning. One annoying thing just happened, i have a refill (pay in advance) mobile phone, and today i had to call a place and got stuck in a waiting line. How fun is that in daytime when it costs lots to use mobile phones... well i dont care about that much, when i have to call somewhere i do that. But this time it was annoying because i waited some minutes, and when i finally got to talk to someone, i could only say Hello and then there was no moneys left in my little phone. So i walked to a place nearby and refilled the little phone a lot, called again, got stuck in the waiting line again... i did get to talk to someone at last but it sure isnt always so good with those pre-paid phones. But at least it is really easy to know how much moneys are spent in phone calls. Just have to make sure there is like a minimum of about 20$ or so in the phone, or it just vanishes when calling in daytime. 
September 03 07:39 Morning after a night awake but doing sort of... nothing... no sleeping today... must sleep in nights again, no sleeping in the day... must sleep in nights... I dont think it will be difficult if i have some coffee. Still it is strange that i have been so sleepy for so many days, and also had so much headaches.
September 02 23:49 Scary things in Russia, i dont think i should watch tv news for some days it could make me loose faith in humanity again... Anyway, i did the cooking now it takes about two hours in the kitchen to make about 12 frozen chili con carne boxes to put in the freezer. Those are quite big lunches or dinners too so great for a busy day when i eat home and am really hungry. Also i am not exactly hurrying when i cook things so this could probably be done in one hour or less too. Anyway this is almost prepared fast food for two weeks worth of dinners, just add rice or pasta and some vegetables and its ready. And since the time needed in kitchen after defrosting one of the chili packages is about 10 minutes, i say its fast food. Seriously i wonder why there is so much advertising for quick food stuff, dont people have time to eat? I often compare humans with animals, and most animals spend whatever time needed to find, hunt, eat, and relax too after eating. Some animals spend most of their awake time looking for food and eating it. Why is it that so many humans, with all our high tech and effectiveness, need 3 minute microwave dinners? So there is 20 minutes more of watching tv? I dont know, i cant figure it out. I say slow-food is the best there is. Sit down, relax, and enjoy whatever you are eating. If you dont have enough time to eat slowly or do any cooking, something else in your life is taking up too much time, simple as that. 
September 02 21:05 Hmm. I got sleepy about 11 and set the little mobile phone to wake me up 15. So i waked up and had planned to get to kitchen then... but i was sleepy and didnt get up. Well it is getting annoying this... i want to wake up in mornings and sleep in nights! Now i have coffee so perhaps i drink lots of that and stay up until tomorrow night, because i probably cant sleep well this night anyway. Perhaps i get something done with webthings, but then again i might find a nice place south for a vacation and forget Internet for a while. I have thought though to get a laptop computer i could bring with me when i travel. It could also be useful for chatting later, wich i plan to find time for with registered and serious Citizens of the Happy World. That is what Citizens mostly will get more of than everyone else in future. My time. Me and hugbears are thinking of moving to a bigger castle also, i found an apartment that could be nice but perhaps we stay here until next year. 
September 02 10:01 It was nice weather outside too, but since i walked i couldnt take too much food things home. But i got some extra things for today yummy chocolate things, i dont know what they are named in english sort of fluffy white inside with thin chocolate on outside and a thin wafer in bottom. Nobody got wiser from that it could even be a ufo i described... but they are nice. I also got coffee to wake up better today, i dont really like coffee much but sometimes i have a cup or five to keep my brain awake. Anyway what i had wanted to get too, but couldnt bother to carry, and i also forgot it in the shop... is frozen lasagna, yes that would be like fast food without me making it in advance to put in freezer. But its really nice and all the Garfields will love it too they dont care if i make it myself or buy lasagna someone else made for us. I think i will go this evening and carry home more food things, if weather is nice its good exercise. Now i go eat some of the chocolate ufo's... 
September 02 08:28 Morning again. I sort of just waited for morning so i can get out and do something. Because if i go outside i cant fall asleep. So i will go food shopping when that shop opens 9 and then try to be busy in the kitchen perhaps until 12 i will prepare some of my fast food that i wrote about earlier. I think i will get home some frozen hamburgers too so Mr Bear can get one of his favourite food sometimes. *hugs* I could also go do some other shopping but i think food is all i bother with today. I dont want to tire myself then maybe i go to sleep in day for that reason. Well the thing i only have to not do, is lay down close to my hugfriends in the bed because then i will not be up until evening today. Maybe the sofa is a bit dangerous too. Not that it would matter too much if i get sleepy again... but after my days happened to turn around i want them back as normal again. Its more fun to be awake in days and sleep in nights. Hugbears agree with that, they are a little confused too now when to sleep and when to be awake. But they are mostly awake when i am that, they know when to sleep and mostly do it when i sleep too. That way we are mostly awake together and can have nice *hugs* often. 
September 02 00:09 Some email sent and the internet shopping done. Time for breakfast or lunch or whatever... 
September 01 23:11 So i got nothing much done today, because i slept most of it. Well i can try to do something of the night then, except shopping anything because everything is closed. Or i could go and order some small important things from a special internet shop. As i get more things updated in webthings there will be more useful links to places i found. Anyway i could at least try and answer emails computer works in nights too unless the power dissapears, but then i would just find some candles and go *hug* *hug* my hugfriends until i can continue. The new graphics card (GeForce 6800 Ultra) seems to be impossible to get from anywhere in Sweden, and i have had it on order for i think a month now. Perhaps time to call the Amex Platinum Concierge and tell them to go get one for me... Hey, i dont care if they find one in Italy and fly it here... Well seriously i am not that desperate to get a super gaming pc. 
September 01 17:12 I got sleepy today again... 
September 01 06:18 Early morning here, but with my strange sleeping times lately i decided to once again try and be awake a whole day and sleep in the evening. I rested maybe two or three hours with Mr Bear it was nice, and now i look at some morning tv with news and things. I hope to find energy today and do lots of little things, both so they get done and so i dont rest on my bed and fall asleep with hugbears again. Its nice to rest with our noses close, its the nicest thing we all know. But i prefer sleeping in nights and being awake i days. 
September 01 01:23 More serious, i wonder where the new super graphics card for my computer is. Those best cards seems to be non-existing anywhere in Sweden, i hope to get one soon because i installed the Far Cry game again and think i will play it some to get good again. But i really want to see the best graphics my stupid budget graphics gets very slow if i try to change game settings even close to the highest quality. Oh well... guess i just wait.
