Things you don't need to know…
July 4th, 2015, 17:20
After all these years of torment, Microsoft finally decided to pull the plug on Silverlight:

Probably pushed by Chrome abandoning java support.
What you don't need to know is that Windows (with or without bloatware) can actually be fun!

Love it.
I hope we do a drilling mission to Europa in my lifetime - there could be real ancient titans lurking in its watery depths.

Also, in about an hour, I may attend a reading by Kim Stanley Robinson of a short story about discovery of life on another planet.

A couple of games I've decided not to try, solely based on their names:
pibbur who doesn't want to play a pibbur simulator either
- Orc attack flatulent behaviour
- Gynophobia
- Let's ruin it with babies
- Soft in the head
- Grass simulator

As much as I like to tease the Americans for their firearms policies, I must admit that if I caught a drone hovering over my sunbathing daughter in my back garden, anything to hand that could serve as a surface-to-air missile would be immediately launched.

On a recent trip to Germany, I was informed that the German language already has a word to describe what we so awkwardly in English must refer to as "a song stuck in my head."http://articles.latimes.com/2001/oct/23/news/cl-60449
The German word is Ohrwurm . It translates literally as "earworm"
August 7th, 2015, 11:55
Yes, the Ohrwurm is a common German word.
Sometimes we Germans are a tiny bit jealous about how easily and clearly the English language is able to catch complex matters into one word.
In this case, it seems to be the opposite.

pibbur who takes it for granted that the watch hereafter will use the proper-word-to-be for things like this

We have two words for this:
Ohrwurm = earworm
or
Gassenhauer = streetsmasher
I think the closest English term is smash-hit.

Streetsmasher is a far better term, and I think we should adopt it immediately.

Norwegian football isn't doing to well these days. We're number 67 on the latest FIFA ranking (let's hope it just means we didn't pay'em enough).
But one of our football teams, Brann ("Fire"), which isn't doing to well either, despite being rooted in my home town, Bergen, is on the Mirror's 11 worst kits of the season: world football's most horrendous strips of 2015/16.
pibbur who refuses to call "football" any sport that isn't played using feet and almost nothing but feet.

pibbur who currently happily is listening to "Kamelot" and has no wish to get that band out of his head.
