I really want to do the following, but I'm still stuck with Microsoft's icon format and PNG. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="some-vector-image.svg" type="type="image/svg+xml"> I'm especially surprised that Google Chrome doesn't support this. They do the whole web application thing; which utilizes the favicons of sites as application icons. SVG would be perfect to also offer a nice larger size icon. Another thing I didn't know is that IE7 still doesn't support PNGs as favicons. Last, but not least, here is the favicon I created in the end: .

Well, I surely don't use this weblog to its full potential at this point in time. I suppose the main negative factor in my amount of writing is the lack of something that I feel is somehow important to share with the world. Nevertheless, a couple of interesting things have happened. During the Christmas vacation I hung out with a few of my old friends, which was nice. I also went to the beach where I shot this video of a lone Sanderling on the beach. I'm not sure if I've ever seen one on its own before. My whole plan of learning Latin has more or less failed so far. I could only take along so many books to my parents during the vacation and the Latin books didn't make the cut. Because I was quite busy during the two weeks prior to the vacation I hadn't done anything about it then either, so by now I'll have to start over again, because I've forgotten at least a third of the tenses by now already. On top of that my main reference and motivator was supposed to be the woman mentioned above. The most important change in my life I haven't mentioned yet, however. In half a year I'll move to Utrecht to study English Language and Culture at the Utrecht University. Another important change is that Clawfinger will exist in a different way from now on. Maybe it's time I got my hair cut.

Maybe I should try to post more. Anyway, over the past couple of weeks I've been doing the introduction at the local rowing society and I think I'm going to become a member. It's quite fun and all the stuff involved (also quite noticably the condition training) is good excercise.

I forgot I had a Wikipedia article on American cuisine open in Opera. When I saw notable chefs for some reason I managed to misread it as "notable chiefs" and was rather surprised to find a name like McDonald's in there.

I thought this conversation about an American product called string cheese was quite amusing. As you can see I'm also experimenting a bit with a better way to display conversations, but my results are fairly unsatisfactory so far. Frenzie: string_cheese.jpg They've got some weird shit in the US. Axonn: ... heh. Axonn: You know why it's like that? Axonn: I can explain. Frenzie: It's like that cuz they pushed it through some shape? :P Axonn: You see... the cow... or sheep... or wheverthefuck creature they milk... well... it sees the yank farmer... and has an immediate cheesing of the milk inside it (that is caused by fear of armed retaliation by the Bush government if not cooperating with the Food Obtaining Services For Fat Yanks). So the milk is transformed into cheese internally because the poor animal's temperature grows. Even so, the terrified creature starts running around the farm with 2 up to 5 Yankers trying to get it. During the process, the creature (now guided by adrenaline and fear) reaches speeds up to 300 KM/h. In this moment, due to friction, it's shape alters a bit, and liquid/semi-liquid stuff tends to be thrown out by the centrifuge force. In that moment, the creature shits the cheese into the said forms. Axonn: It is still a mistery how the cheese (former milk) gets from the belly to the ass. Frenzie: ROFLMAO Axonn: Perhaps due to the great speed and fear, it can either tear holes through the creature's belly, or simply travel through the available holes. Frenzie: Dude, can I post this to my weblog or something, it's hilarious XD Axonn: At least that's my theory to the thing. Axonn: I might be wrong tho'........... Axonn: But it's pretty logical right? Frenzie: Yeah, indeed it is! =D Axonn: I mean, sure looks like shitted cheese. Axonn: Oh, another explanation might be that the creatures refuse to cooperate with fake-capitalist would-be-nazi pigs and they end up in a fight where the Yank shuves his hand up the creature's ass or mouth and pulls that shit out... hence, the form... like it's obtained after 2 people fought over it. Or maybe they're so greedy for that shit they *do* fight over it. Axonn: Donno... Axonn: ::- ) Frenzie: rofl Axonn: Anyway, you have my blessing to post wherever... ::- ) Frenzie: rijpen-kaas.jpg You mean it looked like this, but then they fought over it resulting in one big... string-thing. Frenzie: That's some Dutch cheese btw :P Axonn: Bingooooooo. Axonn: Yes, Romanian cheese looks like that too. Axonn: You see, we Europeans .. respect food... in a way. Axonn: They LOVE food. Axonn: And you know, love can get preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty passional. Axonn: We eat and digest our food. Axonn: They DEVOUR. Axonn: :;- D Frenzie: Wait... you mean the shape is also related to other holes than the ass of the cow? Axonn: Could be, could be. Frenzie: Perhaps that's why they're so afraid of gays Frenzie: they're afraid the cheese ass-fuck monopoly will be broken! Axonn: No no. The problem is that gays don't give milk. Well, I did hear of a few US semen-cheese specialties *laugh*... Axonn: That was sick. Axonn: ::- D Frenzie: >_> Frenzie: <_< Frenzie: >_>

Two vector images I made in about 30 minutes using Inkscape. Note that I never really used any vector creation program before, so I'm quite pleased with the result so far.

It's totally consuming my bandwith all of a sudden, disabled comments except for registered users for the time being. O_o

I decided my chatconversations are very interesting, so here you have another one.

Sunday last week a friend of a friend of a friend was arrested together with 32 other Iranian women while conducting a peaceful demonstration in front of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran. They were expressing their solidarity with 5 other women who had been arrested during a previous peaceful demonstration conducted this past summer. 30 have been released since then, but it would still be nice if you signed the petition.

Two days ago I decided to install the recently released Windows Vista to my laptop. I was unimpressed until I discovered the new volume control. For the rest it includes various improvements like a speed on file copying. Also, know that annoying "preparing to delete" from every other Windows version? This one tells you exactly what it's doing while preparing ("x files left to prepare"). Very nice. But that's not all the fun, there are degradations like tiny preview-based alt+tab as well. As I understand I have to go into the registry to get back the "classic" alt+tab. For the rest, best installation I've ever seen, but 7GB free (10GB free preferred) is an awful lot of space and it seems I'm using 645MB or RAM right now for Opera and Windows Live Messenger only, which admittedly is only about 50-100MB more than XP did. All in all I just have some minor hardware incompatibilities left (like my webcam), which I assume will be fixed soon. Oh, one last thing. The mousecursor looks exactly like the one in Ubuntu.
