Eftersom jag bor i Norge skickade jag igår ett mail till socialdemokratiska partiexpeditionen och bad om att få tillsänt en valsedel, så att jag kan utöva min personvalrätt genom att kryssa. Til svar fick jag att jag kunde få information om valet på valmyndighetens hemsida. Undrar om jag formulerade mig otydligt?
Jag skulle bli väldigt glad om ni kunde skicka mig en valsedel där jag kan utöva min personvalsrätt. Gärna en för hela landet och en för valkrets Skåne Södra, då jag tidigare har bott i Lund.
På valmyndighetens hemsida hade jag nämligen läst följande:
Vill du personrösta genom att kryssa för en person så måste du beställa personvalsedlar från respektive parti. Detsamma gäller om du vill deltaga i en kommunal folkomröstning – då måste du beställa röstsedel från din kommun.
Jag kan lägga till att moderaterna har skickat mig ett brev med en valsedel helt ouppfordrat.
Uppdatering
På sin blogg Det Progressiva USA har Lennart skrivit om det informativa brevet från moderaterna.

Update
Check out my RRdtool graphs for qpsmtpd!
/Update

As my first spam statistics graph generated quite some interest, here’s a new one.
You will see that more than half of the connections were booted based on the country they came from. These are mostly connections from China and Romania (very active spamming from Romania over the past few weeks).
Also, a large number of attempts to bogus addresses such as accounting@ followed by a domain name I host. DNSBL are various IP-based blacklists.
My badmailfrom list contains envelope senders of lists that claimed they would respect my unsubscribe wishes, but didn’t. Integrated Mar and friends are another one.
spamhelo is mostly hosts pretending to have the same name as my server as their host name. I also boot connections from hosts named friend and localhost as well as gmail.com.
I’ve stopped using greylisting because the mail volume on my host is too small, I was loosing legitimate mail from Gmail because they have several outgoing servers with a common queue.
Unfortunatelty, GD::Graph doesn’t allow for slices to be pulled from the centre. That would have given you a nicer graph…
Update
I’ve finally pulled together some RRdtool graphs for qpsmtpd.

Someone at 43 Folders has written a good part about writing sensible email messages. I’d hold off on the “functional headers” bit, but the rest is very true.

…and I never got it.
Today, I got an envelope from Post- och Telestyrelsen with a letter Lene sent me in January 2004. Apparently, it had gone missing in the big mail theft in Lund.
I’m quite impressed that they managed to match my new address in Oslo to the address in Lund!

Idioterna på Antipiratbyrån har lurat polisen till att stänga ner hemsidan för Piratbyrån, som dock genast skaffade sig en ny sida. Lite pinsamt eftersom Piratbyrån inte driver med illegal eller ens omoralisk verksamhet. Det hela skedde i samband med en raid mot ThePirateBay, som så vitt jag kan se inte driver med illegal verksamhet (men möjligen omoralisk — eller högmoralisk, beroende på ståndpunkt).
Ursäkta det grova språket, men det är så Search Engine Optimisation funkar.

Dies ist ein praktischer Test.
Ich habe mich für die schwedische Variante, ÅÄÖ -> AAO entschieden (statt Å Ä Ö -> AA AE OE)
