Another 15 minutes

Today we installed a new fuel filter and replaced fuel lines in order to fix the problems that began after the last trip to Vaxholm. We still have to get a new fuel gauge device for the tank, but the other work went fine. We haven’t tested the engine at speed though, only idle, atleast there are no leaks and all lines are new. There are a few more hours of work left to do before testing it again, we hope for the best.

Today I took the boat with a friend and headed to Vaxholm for some lunchin’. The trip was all good until we run out of fuel just outside Stockholm, due to a faulty fuelgauge that incorrectly showed a well filled tank of gas. So we refueled at the nearest gas station and continued the journey, soon after that the engine started to behave abit strange, at high revs it would begin to throttle down by itself, and a few times even die on us. We think that during refueling some junk in the tank got sucked into the fuelfilter and preventing the engine to get enough fuel. We were unsuccessful to take the filter apart and take a look though, the filter was screwed into place like a son of a b*tch. We made it back to port at slow speed though. And oh… I’m pretty red from sunburns too.

I didn’t have that high expectations on this movie, but I think it was better than I thought it would be. The movie is about a kid who discovers he has teleporting powers and uses it for his own benefit, but soon he realizes that there are people who hunt people like him and let nothing stand in their way. The movie is atleast good enough to kill some time…

Saw National Treasure 2 (book of secrets) yesterday evening, it was OK. No big surprises really, it’s pretty much like the first movie but with new clues and riddles. The first movie is better I think though.

So today I got a response from Fox regarding my Simpsons-clip on YouTube.

In response to your dispute of a video identification match, FOX reviewed your video Favorite clips from The Simpsons, part 1 and confirmed their claim to some or all of its visual content.

This just sucks, the broadcast networks in US are just pathetic, why would you not allow TV-show fans to share their favorite clips with eachother? I’m telling you, you’re going the wrong way with this Fox. I have now sent a mail to Fox about this to see if I can get a written consent to post this video or if they can explain to me in what way this is hurting their business so much that they feel they have to stop my video and remove it from the Internet.

Today I decided to post a short clip on YouTube with a compilation of some funny scenes from The Simpsons, and it wasn’t long until the automated copyright protection of YouTube matched my video to property of Fox. I am disputing it, stating that it’s only a compilation of short clips, it’s not like it’s a full unaltered show, so we’ll see if it will be removed or if it can stay online. I just hate this witchhunt of copyright violators that’s going on today, absolutely rediculous!

Today I got a hold of a copy of the ever so popular Granf Theft Auto IV (4) game for Playstation 3 and played through a few missions. It’s pretty cool with great graphics, but they game itself offers few surprises if you have played the other GTA games. But I like those little side activities you can do, like dart and bowling etc. I have yet to try the multiplayer part of the game tho, I think this game will provide plenty of time-killing.
