Shockingly I had actually not seen one or two of the videos in this compilation. The rest I had seen before though and read about and this video truly have some of the most compelling videos in it.

Yesterday me and Linda was going to watch the replay of Robinson using the new service from TV4 called TV4 Replay. This is a service where you for a week can watch TV4 programming replays online.

I had a hunch from the get-go that it would be a problem to find the entrance to the replay of Robinsson WITHOUT getting to know the ending of the actual episode. This, of course, turned out to be absolutely true.

I first tried to Google “TV4 Replay Robinson” and I got into some sort of page and some clip started but it was not presented clear enough so you were left wondering if this indeed was the episode or just some random clip. Then I prepared myself for getting to know the ending and entered Tv4.se and – of course – they spoiled the ending on the mainpage. Here we did find the entrance to the replay of the episode and it turned out to be the clip we first found.

The presentation is PISS POOR and their whole web-tv isn’t very well thought out. Their fullscreen mode is also buggy and keeps showing an annoying border in the bottom while running Windows XP (browser doesn’t matter) – my only option to go around this will be going into Mac OS and zooming in a little bit to prevent burn in.

Please, pretty please, make a clear DISTINCTION between your main site and your web-TV site. With this I mean that, yeah sure, I should be able to enter into web-TV from your main site but if I NEED to be able to enter your web-tv section separately and while I’m there you need to NOT HAVE SPOILERS.

Update: Started watching the show after zooming in a little on Mac OS X. Guess what happens after 10 minutes? Shit starts to stutter and then it exists fullscreen with the error message “movie failed”. Pathetic. F*cking pathetic. Why don’t you just publish a torrent instead? If you gotta do streaming make sure it works PERFECTLY.

Today I was first looking to buy a bench to workout/benchpress on but since Intersport didn’t have the model I was interested in I decided to hold off on my plans and instead get the Dreambox that I have been planning to get for a long while now :) Should be getting it within the week or something.

Getting a bench isn’t really necceary right now either, I can just go to the gym instead. Our gym here in Stöde isn’t much and I really, really do not like the lack of a proper bench and good barbells and proper weights (they use machines with compressed air which I really don’t like).. but the gym will do the trick. Basically right now I just have to move my ass to loose some freaking weight. The 10kg+ that I put on when I stopped doing snus still haunts my ass..

Anyway..I have been reading up on the Dreambox and I am mentally preparing myself for a frustrating time learning how to upgrade/flash and manage my Dreambox.
