I put up notices in some of the buildings near where I lost you... I hope someone will call and say they found you. Rowan misses you a lot you know!
Rowan can speak to my computer now by the way since the bluetooth dongle arrived today. It's a Bluetake BT009S adapter, in black, and it's rather small really, smaller than my thumb in all dimensions, with a rubber-covered tip and an aluminium shaft.  I'm downloading the software package from Sony-Ericsson that allows synchronization between the two, it's a 30MB package (OMG! An entire operating system used to be a lot smaller in the past, geesh!) Lucky me I got broadband...!
The bluetooth dongle I bought is working fine by the way, the installation was very simple and straight-forward. It sits under my monitor's left side and winks prettily with its blue diode at Rowan. He's blushing a little at being flirted with so brazenly, but he's a big boy and can take care of himself. He worries over Tobias though and hopes he hasn't gotten wet in the rain or something!
Haha! As it seems now, it's enough with just the software I got with the bluetooth adapter to get my images out of Rowan! It works just like a tiny little LAN actually, very convenient! Only problem is, I don't seem to be able to delete images stored in the cam from across the bluetooth connection so for now I have to do that by touching Rowan itself. It's a bit of fondling sure, but not too much of a bother really...
Oh well. I have to restart my box again. Something I installed today isn't liking something else it seems, because explorer.exe has hanged utself. It's the second time this has happened. Grrrr... I hate winme! What a piece of **** that is!
I will have to continue this some other time...

Okay, here's the deal JJ... Dunno if it's extremely important or not, but Setras did say he thought it was "kinda cute... In a really nerdy way", but I don't blame him for saying that. 
This is my new bluetooth dongle:

For those who don't know; bluetooth is a wireless data communications protocol co-developed by Ericsson and other companies. The thing's a lot smaller than it appears in that pic by the way.
When you link two bluetooth devices you must name them and enter a security code before they can communicate, so you don't get unauthorized accesses to your devices. As I was writing a story at the time when I bought my headset, I named it Tobias, and then named the phone Rowan.
It just seemed fitting at the time...
So, now I hope I have illuminated your existence a little, sunshine-boi.

Interesting! I like that... {{{hugs JJ}}}
Anyway, that thing you did in the topic is actually Norwegian - more or less anyway. In Swedish, it would be something like, "tack så mycket, gossen från midnattsolens land".

Thanks Lenny (and smith) for clearing up the computer pets thing...I like the idea of naming them...as long as you don't have to start feeding them so they don't die like those Japanese toys...haahaa
BTW, Jeez...let us know how the Prime Minister is doing...troubles everywhere, it seems...

Her condition is somewhat improved, but defined as still critical. She was stabbed in her hand, arm and abdomen, including the liver which apparantly is the reason she required such extensive surgery.
Not sure as of yet if she's conscious or not... Perpetrator has not been apprehended, nor does police seem to have any idea of who they should be looking for. :-/

Fourteen hours of surgery. She could not be saved.
She was our best candidate for a future social democrats party leader and prime minister, and she had small kids too.
Apparantly, she died around 05:30 local time but they didn't say anything until just now.

I'm sorry Lenny....
Sometimes being in the public eye exacts a toll too much for the human spirit to carry.
I shall pray for her spirit and for her children.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

...And described as a very honest and sympathetic person, certainly a lot more so than many other people (men) who held the same office before her, but also as an extremely competent politician and diplomat. She was deeply respected by many abroad, she was certainly amongst our most internationally respected politicians. In the most current list over most admired women in Sweden, made in early September, she made fourth place.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell has been quoted as saying he was very fond of three things Swedish: 'Abba, Volvo and Anna', and was reportedly devastated by the news yesterday of the attack as told by Elizabeth Jones, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs as she tried to reach her on Powell's behalf within ten minutes of news of her stabbing having reached American news agencies.
While Anna's been a career politician throughout her adult life, she held a law degree, and had intended to become a lawyer if politics had not caught her she used to say. She gave birth to two sons, whom she always fought with tooth and nails to keep out of the media, and she was fiercely protective of her and her family's privacy. She never allowed interviews in her home, or in her spare time; that was the domain of her family and nobody else.
Anna Lindh died at the age of 46.
She will be replaced by current Minister of Migration, Jan O. Karlsson, whom - as some might remember if they study media closely enough - made some waves a while back, showing he is not as skilled a diplomat as Anna was. *cough* http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/arkiv/?archiveSection=1706&archiveItem=269101 *cough*

Lenny, first of all sincere commiserations. I can imagine how the general public in Sweden - which includes you - must be feeling at this time? It seems to me that this case is different from other political assassinations that the world has known recently. Do the police have any clue yet as to who perpetrated this vile act, and why?

A personal tragedy for her family
A tragedy for Sweden, which has lost one of its most respected representatives.
And also a tragedy for world democracy as the growing need for security demands that politicians are increasingly unable to move openly amongst the people they represent.
