Fretex hater gamle bøker

Written by damiende on July 8, 2008 – 4:26 am

I disse dager blir jeg oppsagt fra Fretex.

Grunnen er at Fretex makulerer alle gamle bøker de ikke får solgt. Inkludert bøkene Haakon Lie skrev. Eksemplarer i god stand går i kverna viss de ikke blir solgt. Jeg har faktisk sett bøker som er verdt 2000 kroner hos antikvariat gå til makulering.

Dette er en holdning til bøker jeg ikke kan stå for. Jeg er for glad i bøker til og kunne sende over 100 år gamle bøker i papirkverna. Jeg er ikke spesielt religiøs av meg, men jeg har såpass respekt for andre religioners skrifter, at jeg ikke vil være med på og kverne de opp. Faktum er at meste parten av den religiøse litteraturen som blir levert inn til Fretex blir kvernet opp. Og på den måten er Fretex med på og utradere gamle religiøse skrifter fra 1800 tallet. Kommer det inn lokal historie fra Voss i Bergen, blir ikke dette sendt til Voss for salg. Det ender opp i kverna.

Bøker jeg har sett at blir sendt til Makulering er for eks bøker av disse forfatterene.

Knut Hamsun

Henrik Wergeland

Nordal Grieg

Marie Hamsun

Jens Bjørneboe

Arild Nyquist

Henning Mankell

Martin Andersen Nexø’s Pelle Erobreren. Denne boken er ikke mulig og få tak i butikkene.

Diverse førsteutgaver av Margit Sandemo

Morgan Kane

Gamle barnebøker, har sett første utgaver av Astrid Lindgren gå til makulering.

Mye av lærebøker som blir levert inn blir ikke engang forsøkt solgt. Igjen uansett alder.

Bibelen

Koranen

Så mitt råd er ikke gi bøkene til Fretex uten at dere spør hvilken skjebne de vil få. For er du en sann bok elsker så lar du ikke bøkene dine ende i kverna.

Jeg vil ikke ha ansvaret for en bokavdeling i en Fretex butikk, og dermed sier Fretex meg opp.

Hva viss jeg hadde nektet på grunn av tro, hadde de da godtatt dette?

Det dere kan gjøre er og spørre Fretex hva de gjør med gamle bøker. Se hva slags svar dere får.

Some blogs that uses dofollow

Written by damiende on June 13, 2008 – 4:06 pm

Below you can find a few blogs that uses dofollow when people comments. Just remember don’t spam them with pure spam. Participate in the various topics, because spam will be deleted.

Randa Clay

http://bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com/

http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/

http://www.chrisg.com/

The blogs above gives you a dofollow link. Dofollow is nice if you want to impress google, but don’t forget that all links count in someway. That is unless they are spam. My suggestion is that you find blogs that you enjoy reading and start participating in the various discussions. While lots of these links may not help with your ranking in Google it may help with your alexa ranking or yahoo.

Another thing that will help you with rankings is the use of Twingly and Sphere.

Just remember to be polite.

Until next time

Some more railroad inspired pictures

Written by damiende on December 8, 2007 – 2:43 pm

This is an old ad for Osram Vacublitz and flashcubes. The derailment happened in 1972 so the ad is from ca 1973.

Old ad

22 years has passed and now they are just rusting away.

Old connectors

22 years has passed since the last train passed. Now they use this tunnel to transport timber.

Skjervet

Until next time

Hardangerbana is my favorite railroad line.

Written by damiende on November 25, 2007 – 8:09 pm

Ever since I was a little kid I have had a fascination for this railroad line. It had a turbulent life with the threat of being closed hanging over its head for many years. The line was operated from 1935 1989. The last passenger train ran in 1985. Today there are almost no remains left of this railroad line.

These pictures were taken last year after I took a trip along the old line.

I am not sure what this is the remains of but it might be some sort of guard hut from world war 2.

This is the end of the longest tunnel. Behind me is more then a km with darkness.

This is the tunnel entrance if you look hard you can see the old guard hut in the bushes.

This is what is left of the line all the stations but one has been demolished and only the platforms are left. Its a real pity because the line ran trough some of the most scenic areas of Norway. But I guess money talks.

Until next time

Returning to Wow

Written by damiende on September 30, 2007 – 5:19 pm

After a few months break from world of warcraft, I am thinking about returning.  During the summer months I  got other things to do then to sit and play games. I’d rather be outside enjoying the sun, taking some pictures. I tried taking pictures with the old cameras I bought earlier but they didn’t turn out too good. They were under exposed. But what can you expect from cameras that are almost 50 years old.

When I left Wow I had reached lvl 65, with plenty of exploring to do. It will be fun to start up again, sometimes I miss traveling trough outlands on my mount. Or fishing in Stormwind.

Since I left quite a few of those that got me started in Wow has left the game. But I don’t think it will be that hard to get some new friends.

Until next time

Looks like someone had a blast over at allakhazam again.

Written by damiende on September 23, 2007 – 2:12 pm

From time to time, someone has a blast over at allakhazam and makes posts with links to this blog. I don’t know why they would do this. First of all, I don’t need visitors from Allakhazam. I have enough visitors as it is. Allakhazam is still in denial and that is fine with me. It shall be fun to see how things work out over there when they create the new wikias. It sure is a nice collection of new admins they have gotten themself.

Until next time

How will Chris Benoit’s death affect the wrestling industry?

Written by damiende on June 26, 2007 – 8:27 pm

First of all I want to say that I am getting more and more depressed as information gets out in the Benoit case.  It’s getting more and more crazy. They are now saying he killed his son with his finisher the crippler crossface. This is something that could have been taken out of a really bad horror movie.

I believe that the wrestling industry and steroid abuse will forever be linked in the mainstream media after this. And I think that it might be possible that there will be some serious investigating into the matter because of this. I don’t think that Benoit killed his wife and kids in a fit of roid rage. But I believe that steroid abuse could be part of the explanation of this tragedy.  Along with a serious mental illness.  And this is where the wrestling industry will come in. I say wrestling industry because Wwe is not the only wrestling company out there. Tna in my opinion are not that different from Wwe when it comes to wrestlers using steroids.  So if there is some sort blowup on the matter, Tna should be in there along with Wwe.  The list of wrestlers that has died way to young is just to long. It’s about time something happens. And I think this might be the thing that starts to turn things around. I might be naive to think that something would change because of this. But so be it.

Until next time

I’ll give Everquest II a try

Written by damiende on June 7, 2007 – 4:15 pm

Right now I am downloading Trial of the Isles. It’s a huge download, and it says that it got 6 more hours until its finished downloading. A few years back they offered everquest as a free download. And I actually downloaded and tried it. I never quite liked it. The graphics were good but I thought it was to hard to grasp the basics of what to do. I have also tried Anarchy Online and Project Entropia. Both of these I didn’t like. Anarchy Online had a user interface that were to “messy” And I didn’t like the grapics of Project entropia.

The first game I really played was FFXI, say what you want about how party oriented or how long you are LFP. I think it has a easy to learn interface. And for the most part a great playerbase that helps each other. The first player I partied with as a newbie was Pius.

After one year of FFXI I tried World of Warcraft. And that’s what I have been playing since. I have heard alot of positive things about EverquestII and that’s why I want to give it a try. Maybe it’s something I’ll end up playing. And maybe not. Time will tell.

Until next time
