Worldcup 2010

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The temperature is rising. A fever is coming and its not an ordinary fever. its the:

WORLDCUP FEVER!

w000t. Really anxious to see this one. This year is gonna be difficult. Everybody has their favorites. And it looks like many teams are equally strong. But I did it. I finally finished my predictions for the 2010 worldcup.

Accurate? Hell no. But still fun to see how things will play out. Who’s my number 1???

HOLLAND

Are they really gonna win? I dont think so, but I hope they can do it this time.

Friday 11 June the game will start with South Africa vs Mexico and then its 1 month soccer soccer soccer! I HATE soccer, but I love worldcups. Why? Worldcups mean: Watching soccer at work, Booze and MONEY!

Well as for watching at work im in a bit unlucky timezone. Most games start 20:30 except for a few at 16:00. But we still have the 2 biggest ones. Beer and Money.

This year I created a predictions game for work. Asked people to give money and the winner would gain a 50% of the total. 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20%. I managed to get 28 people w00t. So number 1 can win a total of 100.000 bucks. heh. Still fun tho.

My top 4 for this year?

1. Holland

2. Brasil

3. Mexico

4. Argentina.

And if Holland is getting beaten early its gonna be Portugal taking the cup. But I hope not. I really cant stand that prick Ronaldo.

Its great to see Holland and Japan are in the same poule. Im gonna go watch this at the bar with a friend wearing both Orange shirts heh. Hope we don’t get our asses kicked, and hope Japan doesn’t win hah. Nah its alright im supporting Japan, but their team/play is utter shite. They need Guus Hiddink to be honest and I wish they’d hire him. Would be nice to see Japan make it through to the quarter or halfs.

Who do you think will win this year?

Lost & The Pacific thoughts

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Warning might contain spoilers:

Well 2 shows have finished. One of the shows: ‘The Pacific’ wont be missed to be honest. It was a decent show, but it just couldn’t reach the Band of Brothers level that I was hoping for. Maybe the 2nd world war vs Germany was just more interesting to know about.

‘The Pacific’ basically had too much drama around the plot. I was hoping that one of the main characters (Jon Seda) would get a MUCH bigger, important part in the whole show. Especially seeing him in combat. Him suddenly getting (well happened in real life of course) killed in episode 7, SUCKED. Although it was pretty clear from the start that once he would go back to war he would die immediately. Shame.

I have to give kudos tho for having more boobage (very nice boobage tbh) than Band of Brothers. That is a +1 from me.

And then we have LOST. LOST which started out in 2004 and took 6 seasons left everybody confused and made everyone even more confused with each episode and season. White polar bears, The Hatch, Dharma Initiative, Ben, Locke, The Black Rock, Smoke Monster, Jacob, 4 8 15 16 23 42 aaaaand ALOT more mysteries.

Even with the show being finished there are still many questions in my head. But I doubt I will find an answer to them. Who needs to anyways, the story is finished and somethings are better left unknown. Altho…..Where the f*ck did that polar bear come from and what was up with the numbers when there was a plug in the bottom of the island. Oh well screw it. A great show has finished and with a very nice ending I must say.

lets hope JJ Abrahs comes with a new show soon: “FOUND”, but for now we have to wait on his latest:

SUPER 8

Chrome translator

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

So that’s just bloody great. If you are using google chrome like me, you might have noticed that google was so friendly to add a autotranslator to the browser this week. Noone asked for it, noone needed it, but still, they assumed we would all love it and accept it. To easen this process, they automatically installed this in the last update, without anyone’s consent. And the nice thing is, there is not hide/shut off/delete button for this application. Well thanks f*ck all for that.

I thought the engineers at Google were some of the smartest on this planet, but apparently they seem to forget that dictatorship doesn’t work in this world. So, im rolling back to firefox now, which is a shame since Chrome was the fastest browser around.

I did search for a solution online and found a pretty hilarious thread on google’s support forum.

If you are really considering still using Chrome in an unsafe untested version, but really HATE the translator, here you can find the solution how.
