Grand Opening Friends Arena

We got some free tickets for the grand opening of Friends arena here in Solna. The show was all nice and the feeling of been there was all good. 
But there is one thing that I cant let go. On the back of the ticket there are this rules that say what you can and cant do. One thing that I peculiarly dont like it the rule: Camera are not permissible to bring. Befor the show was starting they wanted us to use our mobile cameras and send pictures to Facebook and other social media... 

Change the damn text on the ticket or confiscate everyones mobile phones. You cant have it both ways!

I did bring my big camera just to hope to start an argument, but that did not happen.

I put my pictures here:

Volvo V70 ETS

The ETS (electronic throttle system) broke on my Volvo V70. So naturaly I think that a Volvo service place will repair this things. WRONG! We can excange it for you and it will cost about $1200.

In my world you fix things when they are broken, you dont replace whole parts. In my line of work we fix broken things all day long. People come in to us and we do electronic service changing the component that are bad. It can be a transistor or a resistor that usaly cost almost nothing compaired to the whole circuit board.

Anyway, I ended up getting a new one because this part was super duper special and only Volvo sold it. But I said that I want the old part and that I was going to take it a part and if I see that it is something stupid like a component for $1 I will come back and !"#¤%! So I ended up "only" paying $600, if I promist that I would not come back and !"#¤% them up.

I got the old part back and tonight I took it apart.

On both sides of the ETS there are this black plastic caps that house two potentiometer that keep track on where the axel are and how much it is open. This is the problem, because they are about the only thing that wear out. I mesured this and they are not consistant as they should be.

The ETS are build to be in a tough enviroment so I can see that it is hard to change this and get every thing back together and be all weather proof, but for a Volvo service place they should realy have the tools to fix this kind of things.

Im not an engineering but I could have made this product alot better, both in precision and easy to maintain. 

It piss me off that most stuff to day are ware and tare. When it breakes throw it out and buy a new one.  

SHAME ON YOU VOLVO!

Stupid GPS

I have a Tomtom navigatior in my car, and there is one thing that have been bugging me for some time. I dont know if it's the same in other countrys, but here in Sweden we have even numbers on one side of the street and odd on the other. So if I tell my navigator that Im going to the number 137 and it cant find it. It suggest the closest number that it know of. Sure that would be fine most of the times but if it cant find 137 you would guess it would suggest the closest number on that side of the street, right... WRONG, it suggest'ed 24. Some streest are long and it's not always that 25 is on the other side of the street from 24. So fist of all suggest a number on the same side. Second dont suggest a number that is miles from each other.
One time the damn GPS lead me in to the forest, the road become more narrow and finaly it ended up with a barrier. It took me miles to get on the right track again. I later heard that the road had been closed for over 15 years! Nice that your maps are updated Tomtom!

Battlefield 3

Phu, only took me about 100 houers to start getting a desent score. I still dont get how some people get over 100 kills and only die 5-10 times i a game. I suspect cheating. Damn shame they never can do a game that dont allow scripts and hacks.

Blocket.se

Ska det vara så jävla svårt att göra en sökfunktion som funkar? Om jag söker på flipperspel så vill jag väl inte få upp annonser från folk som kan tänka sig att byta sin sketna Volvo 240 mot ett flipperspel.
En enda liten funktion som man kan klicka i som säger: SÖK ENDAST I RUBRIKEN, ska det vara så jävla svårt?
Idag skulle jag se om jag kunde hitta en ny Axis nätverkskamera. Butt nooo... Flera sidor med annat skit som kanske också heter axis kommer upp. Står det inte i rubriken så vill jag inte se skiten!
