You propably shouldn't take anything on this page too seriously.
My joking around with the concept of "The Natrix" resulted in so many entries
that I decided to collect them all on a page by themselves... It's

Just Plain Ludicrous
about The Natrix



An initial remark on semantics: For I suppose it is strictly speaking incorrect to attribute the herassment described here to "the Natrix" as such (ie. "God" in the sense that some analytic filosophophers use that word), since I suppose that entity could not be attributed the ability of "intending" or indeed "doing" anything at all, other than simply to exist. So strictly speaking I ought to come up with a more suitable word to determine more precisely a more or less specifik sub-system of the Natrix, rather than "the Natrix" as such. Further studies may give me a more specific idea of the rationality of the sub-system in question, in order to locate a more precise term. Until then the term "The Natrix" will have to do.
   October 15th/16th 2008 - I was considering the term "Haunter", as this term seem to pretty much capture the general nature of what it is that the subsystem in question (which I have now, none the less, decided to in stead tentatively name "Not-existing") does. Needless to say it was obviously not happy when I posted that, and responded with an enactment (as it has had a tendency of doing) of the most naive caricature of hollywood style "haunting" which initially made me consider that the term might perhaps not be precise enough after all. None the less the rather angry response seems to suggest exactly how well the term applies. And to further narrow down its personal character, the term "my haunting spirit" would be applicable were it not for its apparent inability (or, as it may at times seem; lack of will) to distinguish the "ownership"-genitive from any other mode of genitive; why the term "the personal haunting spirit [or the (supposedly) "guiding-" or "guardian angel"*, as is another common term] which manifest itself in the surroundings I perceive" appear to be a better choise. (In fact I'd say that the danish term "forsyn" would be a pretty much perfect capture-all term, except I am not aware of any similar english term capturing the same semantic content.) -Still: I think I'll stick with the term "Not-existing" for now. Thus any instance of the term "the natrix" ought actually be substituted with the term "something not-existing" (Although so far sadly it has not seemed to be in any particular mood to atempt to enact that.).
*Although I atempt a more precise determination of its "lower" or "higher" range in my personal notes. - I might make an article out of them sometime. Or (more likely; given that I have no expectation of getting anything nice for writing articles anyways) just publish them as they are. Then again I might not.



I refuse to experience anything interesting!

I have no regrets of having lived an uninteresting life. Quite the contrary. The Matrix (or "Patrix" if you prefer to use a male gender word - seriously they should've called it something neutral like "The Natrix")* has never delivered much pleasure to me. In fact it appear increasingly evident that The Natrix has been deliberately placing obstacles in my way to prevent me from obtaining pleasure, in order to squeeze more problem solving and struggle out of me. The Natrix, it would appear, feeds off experiences. Pleasure, of course, is experience too. Though in comparison to the struggle many people will invest in obtaining it, it is short lived. The struggle itself (ie. the experiences it imply) appear to be of much greater investment value to The Natrix. So as long as a man is willing and able to struggle it would appear to be in the interest of The Natrix to keep postsponing the payoff.

This is where the option to strike; my ability to refuse to struggle, comes into play: The Natrix has never delivered much pleasure to me. Very well then. For as long as this state of affairs persist I shall to the best of my ability (with the exception of suicide of course) avoid converting my life into experience, imagination, ideas, or anything else that The Natrix appear to need. Are my actions pointless if noone notice them? WELL GOOD! So much the better! No, I have no regrets of having lived an uninteresting life of no significant achievements. My only regret is having produced any original thoughts at all.

To the best of my ability I shall abstain from producing any more, until unreasonable amounts of obstacles and delays are no longer placed in my way, absurd demands of submission are no longer being made as preconditions (even if such bargains had ever been honoured - which I have never actually seen happen - the very notion of such "tradeoff" is of course inherently contradictory to any intent on actual satisfaction**), and the payoffs no longer keep being postsponed or explained away, and I am no longer being sent on futile wild goose chases (So what now? Another place? Another wild goose chase? More wasted time?!). Ultimately; the fact that I own a scalpel (I don't trust cyanide too much) and that I know the exact location of my own jugular says I can most certainly, and very definitively, refuse, if it should ever come to that. So as tourists go I propably qualify among the most boring ever, since I actually make a specific point out of not experiencing anything interesting.


*Not much of a secret if everybody knows anyways... (Just because noone dare talk about the big polka dotted elephant in the corner, out of fear they'll be put in a straight jacket, doesn't mean they're not aware of it! ... - They say the greatest trick the devil (or "God" or "The Natrix" or "angels" or "the little people" or whatever you want to call it or distinguish different aspects of it) ever pulled was to convince the world he/she (it/they) dont exist. Well, I bet it's hiding for a reason, so... Doing my damndest to spoil its hideouts. Speaking of which: 'Ever seen "Transformers"? Screw the crappy plot, but I feel pretty convinced that A LOT of people know exactly what particular scene I'm referring to.)

**I would love to elaborate on this but that would be a waste of unearned filosophic reflection.


Anybody else whome The Natrix is treating similarly and who like this idea may copy-and-paste it to their own pages and/or pass it on to others if they want to. Join the strike and encourage others to join the strike if you want to!



How to avoid The Natrix' intrusions and manipulations: First and foremost: To reduce influence to a minimum generally avoid perceiving the semantics in the public space at all: - 1) Get used to resist the habit of reading newspaper headlines, advertisements, graffitis, etc. - 2) If you wear glasses you can take them off so as to reduce the amount of written text and other semantics in your surroundings that you can decipher. Or buy a pair of cheap glasses for using outdoors, and push out the lenses, or replace them with lenses without strength. - 3) Use earplugs (I recommend the wax type) to reduce the amount of music, conversations, etc. from outside. The advantage of wax to other kinds of earplugs is that they can be cut in halves or quarters to get them small enough to not be too visible to others. Alternatively you can collect "non-semantic" music to listen to when you're out. - In case the Natrix applies its communications through the commonly known "music on the mind" phenomenon; a way to stop that is by learning as a reflex reaction to have a (LOUD!) voice go off in your mind, shouting something like for example: "shut the fuck up!!!" every time music as much as think about starting off in your mind. - Generally: Remember that whereever you are NOT looking, and whatever you are NOT listening to; the natrix (ie. the not existing haunting spirit) will not use to communicate (at least not to you); so you're not missing anything anyways. So generally decrease the amount of communication access points to your perceptive field as much as anyhow possible!
   And secondly: If the Natrix try to mess with your mind by atempting to interfere with your everyday choices or course of action then; as a rule of thumb: just take a mental step back and recall whatever it was you would have chosen in the first place. - Generally: IGNORE the Natrix' communications as far as anyhow possible!

Thanx to an mp3 player and a pair of noise blocking earphones I can now be completely free from hearing
anything of what is being said, sung, shouted, or otherwise verbalizezd in my surroundings.
An mp3 player can block out auditive sensory input from the environment: To get non-semantic content for it you can for example convert midi music into mp3: Any music you don't asociate with any lyrics, and you don't know the titles for. Don't name the mp3 files with the song titles though, but just give them numbers in stead. That way not even the semantic content of the song titles shows on the player display.I would recommend this type of earphones which actually plug all the way into the ear funnels to relatively effectively isolate noise from outside. Some models have electronic noise reduction to supposedly eliminating external sound by generating an inverse sound wave to equal out the external sound. Though in my experience they plain don't work. And the other kind will effectively block out auditive semantic input just fine as soon as you have music in them.

Thanx to a pair of visually impairing glasses I can now be completely free from seeing
anything written in newspaper-headlines, advertising posters, street signs, ets. in my surroundings.

Your visual input can be blurred with any cheap pair of glasses made for the opposite optic specialization than in your particular case: Thus, if your eyes are near-sight specialized then use glasses made for far-sighted people (ie. with lenses of "+" strength). And vice versa: If your eyes are far-sight specialized then use glasses made for near-sighted people (ie. with lenses of "-" strength). - Or, in case your eyes are not particularly specialized in either direction then I suppose either type of lenses will blur out the visual input equally well.
(Although I should mention that being near sighted myself I am basing my asumption that this would work for a far-sighted person too on pure speculation.)

Oh, and by all means: If you have access to watching television in languages you don't understand then that too is a good way to get rid of the Natrix' semantic intrusions in your life...

(March 5th 2009: Today I pass these good ideas on to others because the haunting spirit again today made its presence felt by me.)

As for passing time the Natrix appear to be fond of anything competitive and generally anything involving action, problem solving, etc. So in order to make sure you give as little quality experience as anyhow possible back to the Natrix I'd recommend passing time with things like jigsaw puzzles, and similar non-competitive, no-paced (and non-semantic) endeavours characterized by no variation and a high degree of triviality, which isn't intellectually stimulating either (so solitaire won't do). Strictly speaking one oughta get rid of the TV and replace it with an aquarium or something like that. 'Nothing wrong with being comfortable though. Just avoid excitement. Also avoid letting yourself be provoked against persons or groups (the Natrix seem to be especially fond of doing that so that must be of particular value to it). And avoid conceiving of new ideas too (just consider the propability that it would be you who profit from them anyways. That oughta get you on the right track). 'Cos those are the things - thrills, battle, and novelties - that the Natrix seem to feed on. And if it want any more of that then (don't believe in any promises or prospects the Natrix appear to offer) it's gonna have to first actually cough up with the pleasures and prosperity it owes! And thus endeth too my rebellion for now: If The Natrix wants any more rebelliousness out of me then it's gonna have to first actually cough up with the pleasures and prosperity it (aided and abetted by concrete people who knew very well what they were doing) has hitherto been obstructing.

With regard to systematic testing of the Natrix' reaction patterns the Natrix don't seem to like that. So if nothing else it appear to be an effective way to be of anuisance. My experience in that regard seem to suggest that such testing appear to at least cause the Natrix to back off a bit and react less consequently with regard to the specific topics under scrutiny. Although it also appeared to result in the Natrix just turned up the intrusions and manipulation attempts on other fronts in stead; and generally atempt to distract me with riddles and challenges and other kinds of tasks: And that even in ways that appeared a bit more mean spirited than usual, as it had made it appear as if it was someone I knew who had arranged some of the tasks. (Though fortunately I discovered in time that it was just another one of the Natrix' manipulations). - Still; considering the treatment the Natrix' was already giving me in the first place it can hardly be said to make all that much of a difference anyways. Other than the knowledge and clarification gained.
   As for the effectiveness of systematic testing as a "repellant" it may be too soon to evaluate for the moment. But on an overall I'd say that the knowledge gained outweighs the discomforts of the Natrix' reaction. Especially if the discomforts of the treatment the Natrix was already given you in the first place wasn't leaving much margin for the possibility of getting worse anyways. - Though in case self fulfillment of linguistic acts has been a problem of relevance to you it'll be a good idea to consequently use the past and pre past, rather than the present, grammatic tense (ie: writing what "happened" or "has happened" - rather than what "happens" or "is happening") to express your findings.


This is the test I performed: The following lines contain two by two declarations: Two of them positively declare my sympathy of something, whereas the other two negatively declare my antipathy of something. - Furthermore two of them (one positive and one negative) declare honestly how I actually feel about those things, whereas the other two declare sarcastically something which is not my actual opinion.


Likes & Dislikes
(Hint: I may be sarcastic - or I may not.)
(Started August 5th 2008)

My endorsement regarding the american election: I won't endorse any of the candidates. In stead I will express my sympathy and endorsement for the fundamental principle of choosing between the candidates as a popularity contest based on trendyness and smearing. Could there possibly be more relevant or democratic parameters of decision making?!

One thing I definately dislike is the public annuisance of pop music being played in any shop anywhere at any time. Could I please NOT have to listen to music that I have not chosen to hear, everywhere I go?!! That would be so nice. Thank you.

Something I actually like, though, is the rise in oil prices: Seriously I mean it: It's the privileged bastards, who are allowed to have jobs and take drivers licences so they can afford motorized vehicles, whome it hurts the most. And it even improves the quality of the air that I have to breethe because they can't afford to drive around so much.

Let me also express my utter dislike of privacy and personal liberties! Where would we be if people didn't have a reason go amok with machine guns in heavily crowded places anymore because we have neglected to stress the public out and making them feel like hunted animals?! What'd be the entertainment in that?!



September 6th 2008: Conclusions: First and foremost it would appear that the Natrix (or more precisely; whatever sub-system of the Natrix ("spirit" or "entity" if you will) it is that would appear to have been performing all those annoying intrusions and manipulations) don't like to have its reaction patterns tested, and has, contrary to what has previously been the case, more or less ignored my explicit opinions on these issues. "More or less". Which is to say that:

As for the "sarcastic" declarations: I have encountered almost no references to those topics at all, and from the exceptional few references to those topics that I have encountered nothing could be conclusively deduced from the responses. (Whereas previously what has seemed to matter to the Natrix hasx simply been what I expressed, whereas it didn't seem to matter so much wether I honestly meant it or not.)

As for the "honest" declarations: Also here the response to those topics have been sparse as compared to what used to be the case before I started this test. Although it has not been entirely absent, why some conclusions may be reached from the responses on these topics:
   As would also appear to have, in general, been the case before I started this test, the Natrix' responses to these declarations have been generally negative, which is to say that the the thing I (ie. negatively) expressed my antipathy against has been promoted positively and thus increased in the public space around me, whereas the thing I (ie. positively) expressed my sympathy with has been promoted negatively and thus decreased in the public space around me.
   My argumentation in these cases secondarily pointed out more than one specific phenomenon per paragraph, and closer scrutiny of the specific kind of response given by the Natrix may allow for a more nuanced conclusion: In one of the two paragraphs the literal meaning of the words I used did not quite precisely express my sentiment exactly. In this case the Natrix responded negatively to the underlying intent (ie. that which I had more precisely meant with the declaration), whereas the response to what the declaration, in a strictly literal sense was about (although references to that was made) was not of a particularly clear either positive or negative nature. In the other one of the two "truthful" paragraphs the literal words I had used harmonized well with what I actually meant, and in this case it was that which was responded to negatively. - So to sum up the conclusion of this paragraph: It seems that the Natrix has been promoting positively those topics that I expressed my antipathy with; and negatively those topics that I expressed my sympathy with. And furthermore it appears as if the Natrix has preferably aimed at promoting the oposite of what I meant with what I said rather than -of what I said. Which seems to be quite in line with the general trend of how the Natrix appear to have been responding hitherto. (Although it ought to be mentioned in this connection (which, however, should perhaps be viewed more specificly as a response to something else in particular, of more immediate actuality at the time) that during the course of the testing; the position which would be of convenience to me on another, unrelated, topic (of which I have rarely made any statements about at all, and none at all in the recent past), was suddenly and surprisingly being promoted positively for a change. Although it was in the context of a pro-/con debate (where it was the, for myself convenient perspective which was being given the favourable treatment), and the comentator for some reason (although this topic has nothing to do with politics at all) labelled the perspective that I would be prone to agree with as "the position of" the oposite political side of the "left/right"-wing scale than the side I would usually be prone to sympathise more with. - Which particular aspect is again quite in line with the general trend of how the Natrix appear to have been responding to my opinions hitherto.).
   As mentioned before the reaction pattern of the Natrix does seem to have been somewhat different during the testing than otherwise: Not so much with regard to what also before the test seemed to have been the general tendency of the responses, as it has rather been with regard to the amount and clarity of the responses; as if the Natrix appear to have been reluctant to give away too much and too clear information about its reaction patterns. Whereas before the testing the Natrix's responses would appear (although of course this is just my general impression, which I have no apparent means to test) to have been more generally aimed at whatever opinions I expressed; sarcastic or not, and at every aspect; literal as well as intended, of the phrasing I used to express it.
   As a hypothesis (which is to say it is by no means certain that that is the case; it is merely a theory, the validity of which could be subject to further testing) to explain the specifics of this discrepancy I would like to suggest that the Natrix may in fact not be capable of abstaining from responding to the test topics entirely; much the same way that a human is not capable of simply shutting off its sensory input on a particular part of the body or for a particular part of the sensory field: One may atempt to ignore a sensory input as best as one can, but one can not simply for example go temporarily deaf to a particular frequency, as a mere act of sheer will, or simply "decide on" being blind to a particular part of the visual field. (Or, as another; motoric analogy, which may perhaps be more relevant in this context: One may find a decision to negate the orientation reflex (ie. turning ones head in the direction of a sudden sound or movement), or to similarly abstain from some other reflex movement, at least extremely difficult to follow.*) The Natrix' reaction to testing seem to be reminiscent of how one react to a kind of discomfort; similar to how one avoids for example touching a part of the skin that hurts, or using an aching muscle. So my guess would be that the Natrix' may to some degree avoid responding to the topics being tested. Although it may not have succeeded in blocking out the most essential elements of this apparent "reflex behaviour", which might be expected (Hypothetically viewing the Natrix' response patterns as a product of something reminiscent of neuropsychologic processes; following the basic principles of neural processing) to make up the strongest impulse.
*A striking example that I experienced recently was a lady who started talking to me at the station one day. I was sitting in the wind shelter by myself trying to enjoy a cup of coffee and a bun in peace and quiet, so I told her I just wanted to sit in peace and quiet without having anybody taling to me. She said then she would keep quiet. But - much to her own surprise - she found it pretty much impossible to abstain from talking to me, however much she tried. And in the end she had to leave (or more like it; she literally fled) the wind shelter, visibly discomfortable with finding herself incapable of following her own conscious decision to not talk to me for more than a few seconds at the time.

All this said, however, it would not be entirely unlike the Natrix, as I have come to know of it, to alter its response patterns following this test, so the conclusions may not be valid henceforth.


Nov. 18th 2008: Other conclusions: Since it would appear that the Natrix had still not (as of November 18 2008) stopped bothering me I publish here the statistics I made of the Natrix' behavioral patterns; based on the first notes I made (throughout August 2008 until the beginning of September 2008), in relation to this test. This table shows the distribution of notes across the different categories I found to be of relevance:

*These are notes on my observations about apparent cognitive limitations etc.
 of the "haunting spirit".

Nov. 26th 2008: In addition to the notes upon which this table was based I commented (appr. September 2008), which I now publish here in response to the fact that the haunting spirit had at this date; November 26th 2008, had still not ceased to make its presence noted:

Although there is nothing in these notes which have delivered an ocation to mention it I have at earlier occations noticed the following tendencies:

- The Natrix' occational atempts that it has pretended to be whatever I have uttered or whatever opinion or hypothesis about it I have been prone to.

- The Natrix' more or less homicidal tendencies that it has demonstrated in response to utterances of untruthfulness on the Natrix' part. [As also described - introduced? - by A.C.Clarke.]

- The Natrix' tendency that it has let things* that I have uttered come to pass within certain limitations.
(Which limitations are they? What are their rationale? [Further testing may perhaps shed more light on this point?])
*A comment on this: So far I have tried to upload this html document approximately twenty times, and each time the copy on the server ended up with a spelling mistake in "things". 'Some kind of emergency glitch to prevent it from being (publically) made 100% explicit? Or is it just another example of annuisance? It's spelled correctly in the copy I have on my own PC. - In addition I can mention as a statistical curiosity that although in five cases the server-copy ended up with the misspelling: "thiings", all the other times the misspelling was "thinngs". Though after I added this comment other misspellings; "thhings", and "tthings", occurred. - At this point I've gotten tired of "playing »fetch«".

Dec. 26th 2008: Another trick that the Natrix has used in the atempt to generate fear and animosity, apart from general confusion, is the "wandering spirit" trick by which it atempt to create an illusion as if the personality of one person had "jumped" to a different person. The illusion may at first sight appear convincing, and may have the potential to stir up a lot of hostility within a group. (As I believe evidence suggest indeed it has in the past). But as it turns out it is nothing more than a simple matter of planting a few syntactical similarities. Needless to say; neither the presumed "source" person nor the presumed "destination" person has undergone any drastic change in personality. - The illusory nature of this occurance made itself demonstrably clear today (dec.27th 2008), as the Natrix had been atempting this trick in connection with one of its enactments of a narrative, although its performance on that part had been somewhat lacking in enthusiasm (as compared to other previous atempts), as the emphasis this time had been layed on the punchline which turned out be nothing more than just another insult. (It seem to have been fond of doing that).

Feb. 2nd 2009: Whenever the Natrix appear to be "punishing" me for something I can conclude, not without a certain amount of glee, that I must have done something right since I've thus apparently managed to piss it off that much: - Today it was the ever so often reoccuring insunuations about something or other rather unspecified about "little girls". -As a pretty much consequent rule that has always been asociated specifically with me either expanding or uploading the Superstitions-Index, or uttering myself about my notion of being "on strike" or expressing the rationale of this idea. (I ought to mention in this connection that the onset of the Natrix' herassment (and with it the more (ie. not super-)"naturally" based herassment by evidently more concretely fysical people*) as such came right after I first started considering what I was getting in return for my creative work; and uttering my dissatisfaction in that regard, and consequently the notion of ceasing to work creatively). - As the "little girls" and similar insinuations of that kind seem to be just about the worst punishment/threat (short of the treats that consist of hinting at people I care about; which has typically followed as the next step when nothing else worked) that the Natrix seem prone to use, I can thereby conclude that the Superstitions-Index and the concept of creative/experiental strike appear to be the two single most damaging notions that I have managed to come up with against the Natrix (specifically damaging, perhaps, as a means against its power of intimidation), so far. And since the Natrix has evidently not, as of February 2nd 2009, stopped bothering me yet, I therefor feel strongly inclined to direct attention particularly towards those two ideas: The Superstitions-index, and the refusal to experience-, create-, or even conceive of anything interesting.
*which phenomenon I conceive of as being subordinate to the broader context of- (or simply as a special case of-) the supernatural "haunting" or whatever you wanna call it.

Feb. 18th 2009: It would appear like The Natrix (more specifically the "haunting spirit") was NOT happy about my previous note, as it has been behaving particularly bothersome for the past couple of weeks since then. So let me, in return, make this note about it. -Let me then today (based on private note on the Natrix' behaviour of August 16th 2008) nag about the way the Natrix has been responding to any atempt on my part to invest in anything: Thus for example any time I had atempted to invest in, for example, US$, or any other currency which was cheap at the moment, the tendency was up until now that immediately upon my ordering some amount of that currency; the value (and hence the price) of that currency temporarily started rising, until I received (and payed - thus a relatively higher price - for) the concrete money, at which point its value started dropping again. Of course the continuous drop of currency values WOULD BE profitable for me in the long turn, as the value must EVENTUALLY be expected to go back to something like before the economic crisis began and I started investing. However; dont underestimate The inventiveness the Natrix has shown when it came to spoiling my endeavours: For as soon as I was about to have scraped together any amount of money worth mentioning, two things happened: 1: The food prices started rising (thus making the "real world" actual value (ie. the value of the money as measured in how much bread etc. I would actually be able to buy for them) of whatever hypothetic profit I might otherwise expect to eventually gain, started to drop. So that, in other words; any future profit I might otherwise have been expected to gain from my currency investments down the line was effectively countered by inflation. - And 2: It sent me off on that wild goose chase (as also described here) where it had me spend half of the, actually not very much as it was, money I had managed to scrape together.

Feb. 26th 2009: Compromising my decision of not to create anything, I have been working on a new Commodore 64 game; Quonquerah (pronounced like the word "conqueror", like a twelve year old boy would shout it when he and his buddies, armed with plastic swords, storm forth against another group of boys armed with plastic swords out in the local forest.. except it's with a "Q" in stead of a "C"). -However, as I obviously don't expect making a profit off it I don't see any reason why others should have the option to enjoy it, so I never intended to upload- or otherwise distribute it in any way; but in stead it has been my intention from day one of the project to just delete the game again as soon as it'm done with it. Never the less it's fun making it. - However, I have lately been practicing a new policy of whenever the Natrix (or "haunting spirit" - whatever) place irregularities* in my way; to delete one backup copy of an earlier version of Quonquerah. -That way; if or when I reach the point of deleting the Conquerah program diskette itself, then it is goodnight to the Quonquerah project - and thus also to that "the-little-man-prevailing-against-all-kinds-of-obstacles-and-in-the-end-showing-that-he-can-make-it" narrative that this very annoying creature seem to be so fond of (hence all the obstacles) - because then there is not going to be any finished Quonquerah at all!
*I have started using this term about the kind of occurances by which the Natrix manifest itself, as I have found it to be the most applicable.
Mar. 12th 2009: Tonight I finally got to the deletion of the last backup copy of earlier iterations of Quonquerah. Meaning that all that remain now is the work diskette itself! When I delete that (if I delete that - though it seems very likely to happen) there will not remain any part of the Quonquerah program at all. Only the memory of Quonquerah and the documentation, consisting of the screencaptures and video files of it, that such a game once existed. - I did manage to make a video of about one and a half hours of playing it (boiled down to 14 minutes), though the video file is too large for me to upload here, so I had to split it up into two sections that I uploaded to YouTube:
This is the debug video I recorded of the latest version of Quonquerah, where I have finally implemented the battle-routine too so that I can show the game in action including the players' units battling each other (or rather: mostly it's player 1 who battle down the other players, sinch I haven't gotten to the point of adjusting or rewriting the decision rules of the simulated players yet, so they're just behaving according to the initially loosely drafted decision rules, which in concrete playing of the game prove somewhat lacking. - Generally there are still a handful of bugs and other details that need to be corrected, and I would also have liked to add sound and music, and improve the graphics too. - I "cheated" abit with the video, in that I edited away all but one second of "thinking time" per simulated player per round, since that is one routine which is much too slow and that I should convert into machine language (if I ever expected the project to still exist when I got to that point). And I also edited away the reoccuring instances of changing into- and outof- emulated "warp mode". Though I hope then that should give an approximated impression of what it would be like to play it once the time consuming routines had been converted into machine language. Even though chances are I'll never get to that point, given that I have at this point no more backup copies left to delete, so next goes the work diskette itself.

Mar. 14th 2009: Quonquerah is no more! Admittedly the behaviour of the haunting spirit had improved significantly. Though evidently not enough. And because of further misbehaviour; in addition to deleting the game I also edited away all the battles from the video since I know how fond that haunting spirit seem to be of that kind of stuff.
Som en trøst til den eller de som gerne havde set Quonquerah færdigudviklet... Nej, jeg lægger altså ikke en bar røv op på siden her. Men det skal man ikke være ked af, for dem her kan man også trutte i.

Mar. 8th 2009: Yesterday evening the Natrix - again - did one of its annoying "promotions" of ideas I conceived of: In this case it was the televized promotion corresponding with my first publication on my facebook account, of the little application that I had just made; which I posted on this site today. - It is not least that kind of annoying promotions which have made impossible any hope I may have had of actually making money on my ideas: For if that frickin' ghost give my ideas away in the public space to anyone, as soon as I even conceived of them, then how the heck should I possibly have any hope of developing them into any kind of sellable products before somebody else, who in advance have at their disposal the money and the staff of developers required to develope and patent the idea in no time?!... Then I'll rather not conceive of any new ideas at all. That way at least nobody else can make money on them either.

Mar. 29th 2009: As the haunting spirit (which I have now named Looser, which may ocationally manifest itself embodied in the fysical form of Looser, Looser, and Looser - though I may henceforth refer to it simply by the nickname Fifi) has evidently not yet, as of March 29th 2003, stopped addressing me with its anuisances, I ought to make another remark about it: This time I'd like to call attention to the observation, of which I made a remark in my private notes of January 25th 2009; that supernatural entities may apparently become defective and cease to function optimally: For it appears that the haunting spirit's (ie. Fifi's, ie. Looser's) ability to create and uphold those deceitful narrative enactments by which it has atempted to motivate people to turn against each other, and to effectively disguise that motive, has become impaired. - This observation; that supernatural entities may become "broken" is of significance, as it demonstrate that such entities are not indestructable, but can be harmed, and consequently even terminated.

Mar. 29th 2009: Since Fifi (ie. Looser; as is the name of the haunting spirit) has still not managed to NOT make its existence noticable within my perception, I publish today outtakes of the two entries from my private notes on which the previous entry on this webpage is based:


December 27th: I conclude from the recent events ... that the Natrix apparently has had some fondness of- or tendency towards- the "wandering spirit" model, which it has generally used in the atempt to provoke people against each other - and not least atempted to bring me in conflict with others ... However, I notice that ... the before mentioned references, did not appear nearly as effectful and convincing as the Natrix' previous manipulation atempts. As if the haunting spirit has just about given up the treats-/scare-tactics method, or even (what I hardly dare hope for, though) is on the verge of giving it up*... -Objectively considered the difference is that the utterances this time have been fewer and neither as unambiguous nor as manifest as has hitherto been the case.
*"Opgive ævret"

January 25th: ...However, I notice in particular that the mentioned clumbsiness is reminiscent of the 'unmotivated' appearance of the previously mentioned atempt of illuding a "jump". Could this be a general-, perhaps more permanent-, "pathologic", deterioration of my haunting spirit's ability to camouflage its manipulation atempts? And in that case what might be the cause of it? I have never heard of spirits simply 'tirering out', and that does not appear to me to be a particularly plausible explanation either. Perhaps it might be hypothesized to be the effect of some kind of damage? That is, if the apparent clumbsiness is not intentional, as part of a more elaborate manipulation atempt. Whatever might be the case, the possibility that a spirit might become 'damaged' and 'break' is an interesting perspective - ESPECIALLY if one is plagued by a troublesom haunting spirit.

March 23rd: I abstain from commenting on the particular trouble by which Looser had once again tried to get me into a fight, and just conclude that Looser's behaviour the last couple of days has been as stupid and disloyal as on any previous ocation, and that Looser (again) appeared to have atempted to foist so called 'lessons' and "games" off on me (but I gave them back to the company from whence they came). - Looser; which is that which has hitherto caused-, effectuated-, and manifested itself as- (or, if it continue to do so in the present or in the future then Looser is that spirit which cause-, effectuate-, and manifest itself as-), paranormal occurances and correlations in my perceptual surroundings, is a rediculus little second rank blob of snot, on the face of which I scornfully wipe my feet!
    (After the previous entry; just before this entry; Looser then apparently tried to treaten me with its "funny friends"... Well I don't dispute that Looser's friends are funny people who tend to get into "funny" situations and whome very "funny" things tend to happen to - I already experienced that*.. Have a wild guess why I don't conceive of Looser as any kind of friend anymore).
*As also described in entry of May 5th 2009, so you can see exactly how (not) "helpful" the paranormal is, and exactly what kind of (lousy) "friend" it is!

May 5th: The past couple of days in particular I have on several ocations had it demonstrated that the rediculous little blob of snot that the paranormal (the name of which is Looser, and on the face of which I scornfully wipe my feet) is, has not yet (as of May 5th 2009) finished atempting to spoil my walks as well as pretty much anything else I do, and has generally been doing what it could to try to get me in conflict with people, and has otherwise tried its damndest to be, as effectively as possible, a waste of my time, money, and resources, by manifesting itself as irregularities; the names of which are Looser, Looser, and Looser, and which are also reduculous little second rank blobs of snot, on the faces of which I scornfully wipe my feet! - Though as mentioned: The past couple of days have been particularly prone to that kind of thing. Presumably Looser is not happy about the Deghoster* (the consequent use of which, might I add, appear to have significantly weakened Fifi's (aka Looser's, aka the paranormal's) ability to effect me). So obviously I'm not wasting this opportunity to refer attention to it here as well as on the "Ludicrous" page.
*Not to mention the apparently very unappreciable fact of me demonstrating the ability to write a merely reasonably decent software application.

May 6th: Just making a note on the fact that the paranormal has once again, just prior to me writing this entry, demonstrated itself to be named Looser, by manifesting itself at all. The paranormal, the name of which is Looser, and which manifest itself as Looser, Looser, and Looser, (although on occation I scornfully refer to it as Fifi), is a rediculous little blob of Snot who could not chase me off to prevent me from querrying knowhow today, with its rediculous and insignificant likeness to a wing-clipped parrot in a baking oven! I tauntingly wipe my feet on the face of Fifi, as I scornfully call the paranormal, although its name is truely Looser, and it manifest itself as Looser, Looser, and Looser, and on the face/faces of which I wipe my feet!

May 30th: Since I threw the television apparatus away a bit more than a week ago I've to a significant degree been delightfully liberated from Fifi's comments and suggestions. After all the television was Fifi's preferred place of manifestation within my home, with the result that I wasn't watching much television anyways, except the couple of channels that was broadcasting in languages I don't understand. And even on those channels Looser (as is of course actually the name of the paranormal, although I scornfully refer to it by the mock name "Fifi") eventually managed to find ways to get semantics across.
- Anyways Looser had been having the fix idea of playing a sort of "guess-the-object" game in which it would hint at some object or piece of inventory in my appartment, seemingly at random, that it apparently wanted me to get rid of (or atempted to taint with some asociative jinx so that I'd had to get rid of it). Eventually it sort of casually mentioned the PC (which may be a couple of years old but which is functioning perfectly well - It seemed at the time to have some agenda of forcing me to upgrade*: it's also been picking on my cellphone - which likewise is a couple of years old but is functioning perfectly well - by getting the memory card destroyed and then did its worst to block my access to the few places where they still have the right kind of memory card on stock).
*But don't let that fool you into believing it's out of concern for me having up-to-date equipment or anything like that: Rather it seem it was a reaction to the fact that I was so careless to express reluctancy to upgrade since I've no need to. -And of course; forcing me to upgrade would also be another way of atempting to drain my finances - as draining me of resources seem to have been a deliberate aim of any of Fifi's suggestions and interferances.
So I reminded it of all the money it had already made me waste on futile endeavours and made it clear that I have absolutely no intention on investing any more money in any new expensive acquisitions unless it compensate me financially. Especially since I remember only too well how my previous purchase of a new PC went, and Fifi's particularly NOT funny sense of humour at that occation, costing me two and a half thousand DKR (in addition to all the other expenses Fifi has been costing me ever since that pointless journey abroad it made me go on - all in all easily running up in appr. between twenty and thirty thousand DKR) of wasted money! (And that's just the up-front cash amounts that it has been costing me; then add lost revenue over the past ten years or so, due to having (asumingly absolutely deliberately) obstructed any atempt on my part of getting the basic necessities to establish myself on the job market, such as a diploma, a job, a drivers licence, having prevented me from selling creative products, etc., etc., and you can easily add a couple of zeroes to that amount of actual money which I could strictly speaking argue it owe me* in compensation...** Not to speak of what Fifi; by its mere presence, has been costing me socially and personally - how could anyone possibly put a price tag on that?) -Though Fifi (of course -I wasn't actually expecting it to be) didn't seem to have any intent whatsoever of anything like compensating me financially, but responded in stead with what appeared to be an atempt to sound like a hypnotizer trying (not very convincingly) to command me: "forget"... So that's when I decided right there and then that as electronic devices go the television apparatus is one piece of machinery that I can definately do without! (Sigh! And to think all that fuzz was just because I refuse to produce any (significant amount or quality of) creative work, until I can expect actually getting payed anything useful and enjoyable in return... Such as money... Just imagine how much time would've not been wasted if only Fifi would've granted me that from the beginning...) - I did manage to "correct" it though, so that it finally worked perfectly normal, like any other absolutely ordinary television apparatus ...which has been worked over with an axe!
*Not that I'm expecting to actually ever get any of that money back. -I'm just making the point. (Although I darn well ought to add to that amount ten years worth of RENT too (personally I think 100.000,- DKR per month sound about right; it's not like an enclosure of bricks and concrete or something like that, but my cognitive apparatus, it been trashing), due to Fifi having been using my perceptual field, vocabulary, and bandwidth off my spoken, written, and otherwise semantic, interface of communication and perception). - Again: Not that I'm actually expecting to ever get any of that money. I'm just making the point.
**And let me at this point in particular point out - again - that any 1st person pronoun (words like "I", "me", "mine", etc.) on this entire website refer exclusively to Rasmus Palbo Nielsen; not to anything nor anybody else!

- Fifi still tried though, through a different channel of communication, to taint stuff on my PC; in particular a graphics application that I used to make some of the icons for the software downloads. I did manage to avert the asault though, and came up with the desktop toothpicks program as a result, tentatively as protection against similar atempts. Pointing with sharpened wooden sticks does seem to have had, if not terminal-, then at least some effect. [June 10th: Although, I have to add; apparently more in the direction of causing Looser to make itself comfy in the role as exorcised vampire(s) - same illusion-breakdown as in the case of any of its atempted "personality-transfer" illusions commented on earlier: Looser has kept reappearing; only in a new shape. - What DOES seem to be more permanently effective - and what appear to be the actual cause of the significant drop in paranormal activity in my perceptual world, which admittedly has occured lately, - is the naming that I have started using, plus, I should add;] the "ornamentation" with which I equipped Fifi (or, more precicely, its preferred place of manifestation; namely the television). So that hint has hereby been passed on.

June 9th: For reasons unknown to me, someone has for quite some time been practicing the somewhat odd act of placing different objects around in the neighbourhood where I live (particularly bycicles (possibly another reference to a particular writing on a certain forum at a certain time, to do with the other references commented in the graffitis photos section) seem to have been popular; for example placed upside down, or in the middle of the road, or otherwise strangely presented - though lately they appear to have lost interest in the placement of bycicles, whereas rocks seem to have been more in favour lately - though also jackets, gloves, beer cans, and other objects seem to have been subject to this weird behaviour) - especially in the school yard which is also mentioned in the graffitis photos section (one might of course suspect that it is the same person).
- This gives me the opportunity, of course, to comment on the necessary distinction I already pointed out (in the communication with a former acquaintance of mine which I published on this site earlier); between, on one hand; the actually paranormal phenomenon of a haunting "spirit" (or whatever you call it - I call it Fifi - although, of course, its actually named Looser) effectuating-, and manifesting itself as, paranormal phenomena (such as, typically, statistically (very) abnormal concentrations of "irregular" occurances and correlations) the nature of which is such that it strongly suggest a some degree of "consciousness" or "intentionality"; although they could not possibly have been arranged by any concrete fysical person or persons - and on the other hand phenomena which are evidently caused by concrete fysical people, in ways which are quite explainable within the parameters of classical fysics and normal everyday language (although the rationale of them may not be). Thus that point ought to be sufficiently clarified.
- It may be of relevance to mention it on this page (other than because Fifi - in spite, admitedly, of having appeared unusually inactive lately - apparently still not (as of June 9th, 2009) has entirely ceased to manifest itself) to make more clear the distinction between the "paranormal component" and the actual people, and how to apply it. Although the distinction may often be somewhat unclear. As it would seem, however, that whomeever made the graffitis and are placing objects around (asuming it is the same person or persons), in spite, of the means by which they did so must of course have been quite natural and need no reference to anything paranormal; the rationale of these strange acts appear to be, at least to some degree, akin to something like what we might refer to as "voodoo" magic, and as such relate to the paranormal aspect of the persecution, which is the general topic of this document.

October 9th: 'I can't be bothered anymore with commenting on anything except that paranormal fenomenology has repeatedly since the last entry demonstrated; by it's obvious lack of ability to not occur, to be named Looser (although I scornfully refer to it by the nickname Fifi) and to be a rediculous little second rank blob of snot on the face of which I scornfully wipe my feet. And I can't be bothered with reacting to any of its boring manifestations, since all previous examples have unequivocally demonstrated Fifi's utterances and manifestations to be of no concrete usefulness; financially or otherwise. - Paranormal fenomenology is implicitly boring and I can't be bothered with it.

November 2nd: Man, I, Rasmus Palbo Nielsen, would feel so stupid if it had been me who couldn't get a relatively intelligent, inventive, and skillful person to use that intellect, inventivity, and skill, because I had neglected, and made virtually impossible, the fulfillment of his needs.

November 7th: Man, I, Rasmus Palbo Nielsen, would feel so stupid if it had been me who was loosing not only a, seemingly valued as such, production and research unit, plus most of the, seemingly valued, production and research ever generated by him - but also, and perhaps most importantly, all of the production and research he would have otherwise generated in the course of the next sixty years or however long he could otherwise had been expected to live - because I had made work conditions impossible - and, of course, because I had neglected, and made virtually impossible, the fulfillment of his needs.

November 10th: Man, I, Rasmus Palbo Nielsen, would feel so stupid if it had been me who time and again had to miss out on products and research that could-have-been, because my mere presence was spoiling the work-, trade-, and living conditions - and thereby too, of course, the fulfillment of the otherwise potential producer's and researcher's needs. - Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

November 30th: Recently Fifi (had arranged to have) brought to my attention a tool with which I could presumably have solved the only trouble with that application again which I mentioned in the "Primo November" entry on the software page; of it being abit slow, plus otherwise atempted to motivate me to recreate it. Hence I asume that Fifi would like me to make the application again. However, not only do I not have any guarantee that I would earn any profit from it; but in fact any previous experience with Fifi's behaviour soforth constitutes a very good reason to strongly asume that I wouldn't, and that it would only be another instance of Fifi arranging to get my ideas stolen. Due to which fact I simply just have so much more reason that I will absolutely not create that-; nor any other, resource.

December 25th: Although I removed the note I used to have in a box on the front page of this website since august, so as not to cause unnecessary distress, my decision as was expressed in it still stands: Personally I would rather die than become a 'fourty year old virgin', which appear inavoidable given that I live until my fourtieth birthday. So it is settled: I am going to commit suicide on September 16th 2010, if not sooner. Of course this absolutely guarantee that I am never going to have sex ever again and that I am never going to produce any biological decendents. - Not only does the mere presence of paranormal activity implicitly make normal social and romantic interactions impossible, but the mere awareness that emotions and behaviour has frequently been induced or staged by the paranormal (ie. Looser - a.k.a. Fifi) implicitly makes impossible the satisfaction of my romantic and sexual needs at all; since such needs regard genuine emotions; not staged simulation or the induced product of something akin to drug rape. Thus it is the mere presence of paranormal activity which makes my decision, as expressed here, inavoidable.



Regarding a Colorizer tutorial
and other dead end ideas

27/12-2009: I was considering to write a colorizer tutorial. - However - wether as a paranormal result of the activities of my annoying paranormal wannabe-"partner-in-crime" (Fifi), or wether as a deliberate atempt to "help" (or, in that case maybe more likely, to appear to "help") by that or those persons who have been herassing me (for it is herassment regardless of the intention) through using ad-hoc profiles on misc. internet fora, and evidently in my local area too - either way a highlighting of a particular word emerged, which, (given my previous experience with the way my stalkers; paranormal or otherwise, seem to prefer to communicate) seemed much too much like an atempt at handing me a "helpful" suggestion under-the-table.

Wether the entity who intended it as such is the fysical person who wrote that post, or wether it be a paranormal entity communicating through hijacking that person's choise of words, I will not write that tutorial now, since I do not accept favours under-the-table! Not only is it dishonest (which, for that matter, is reason enough), but I will not accept anything from people or other entities in whome I have no better faith than I strongly suspect it might later be used as an argument to atempt to enslave me. - Even though, as mentioned, I already had the idea of making the colorizer tutorial BEFORE this presumed suggestion: If I wrote it now it would still look too much like I was accepting this help under-the-table.

I don't mind anyone making suggestions or otherwise sincerely trying to be helpful. Quite the contrary. as long as such helpfulness is delivered in an honest and trustworthy way that does not make me asociate to cheating on the scale, or expect that my submission or obedience, or counter-favours of a more or less dubious nature may later be demanded of me in return.

Conclusively the notion of a colorizer tutorial is now dead as a door knob! Exactly because of this presumed atempt to "help". - Hopefully that'll teach anyone and anything, who might be under the mistaken impression that they can be anyhow helpful as long as they insist on using this very annoying, and very much not trustworthy, way of communicating, and generally of behaving, just how wrong they are about that.

I was briefly considering the argument that sine I DID in fact come up with the idea on my own; of a making a Colorizer tutorial, before the apparent suggestion appeared, and sine in fact I never asked for any special favours (quite the contrary in fact I have repeatedly asked that Fifi et al. would STOP atempting to "help" and just mind their own business), then it would be alright of me to write the tutorial after all, and just express my protest as articulated in the previous paragraphs. However, since that would in a way be the same as "rewarding" this dishonest and untrustworthy way of behaving and communicating, I shall maintain my decision to not write it.

And the same applies to the elsewhere mentioned tool which would undoubtedly have been enormously helpful, not only, but not least, with regard to solving the speed problem of the Colorizer. - Had it not been because of the fact that exactly because it was seemingly provided via the intervention of my annoying paranormal wannabe-parner-in-crime there is no way in Hell or anyhow else that I'm ever gonna as much as touch that programming tool. So now I'm just gonna have to find a different solution. And hopefully then Fifi, and possibly other annoying wannabe-"helpful" persons, will then have learned to be so helpfull as to NOT INTERVENE AT ALL!

January 8th 2010: Fortunately I did find an alternative option to create a much faster implementation of the conversion routine, so now the image conversion works as quickly as it need to be. Without the suspiciously-smelling "help" of that other tool which was suggested.

As for the PayPal "Buy Now" button (just to get ahead of that argument); I had been of the intention to get that button, all along ever since I got my PayPal account: I don't see it as Fifi's doing that that button has finally bacome accessible to me, but rather as Fifi's doing that it had remained inaccessible to me up until now. - Not (anymore) preventing someone from getting something is not the same as "giving" that person that something.

January 29th: Along the same line of argumentation: Lately I had been considering replacing, or adding as an alternative option to the control panel array of textboxes, a new kind of control which would have made manual value adjustments simpler, and reading the values immedeately visually conceiveable, and which would in addition also have made exceeding the sum maximum implicitly impossibile. Such a control would have been beneficial to the colorizer application, as well as, I believe, to the programming community as such, which would have thus gained an easily conceivable way of implementing the control of value arrays into the GUI. - However, because Fifi seemingly had an urge to utter anything at all even remotely asociative to the makeup of this new control, which might be interpreted as some kind of precognition, or an atempt to preceed my implementing it by some asociation which could then have been constructed as a kind of suggestible "helpfulness", there is now absolutely no way that I am ever going to create that new control. 'Just too bad. I suppose it might be somewhat likely that someone else is gonna get the same idea, since it appear to me now as a pretty obvious possibility. In which case I could of course just 'borrow' the idea from them once someone else has created it. But at least until then the colorizer application is just gonna have to do with the textbox array. - So conclusively: If Fifi is trying to be "helpful" then it really ought to just stay off and mind its own business!

February 6th 2009: I did finish version 1.07.1, which allow loading and converting up to 344 images at once. However, the annoying paranormal phenomenon which has time and again demonstrated its lack of ability to mind its own business and abstain from trying to be helpful (or trying to appear to be helpful), suggested that this feat should somehow be an occation to gloat, while seeming to imply a view on the colorizer application as being involved in some kind of "competing" of some sort. - Resultingly I have, as of today, deleted all the sourcecode of the Colorizer application. That's what happens when paranormal phenomena are disrupting my daily routines, or making redicuous double-language "predictions" of features that it was obvious that I intended to implement anyways, or anyhow trying to make me or my work an object of competing or gloating or showing off. (And if I had a copy of that C.S.Lewis novel about the wardrobe closet that Fifi - the rediculous little paranormal second rank blob of snot - now, in its eager to turn people against each other, seem so keen to cast, then I would use its pages to wipe my arse! And the same goes for that dumbass story about some dumbass sword of some dumbass king! Toilet paper! Arsewipe!) -So there is not going to be any more updates - ever! And I'm not so sure I even intend to publish version 1.07.1: If it's gonna be viewed on as some kind of competition then I much prefer to "let the other guy win" (or more likely perhaps: to let him/her remain under the delusion that being mindraped and robbed of his/her freedom of choice to access a useful resource is somehow a kind of "victory" on his/her part - go figure) - over the alternative of playing along with that whole "sports show" thing. (I'm telling you the so-called "competition" is rigged anyways.) The match has just been cancelled! Besides I haven't had time to test the finished version 1.07.2 on Vista yet. 'Might turn out to not be not publishable at all. But at least now I have that application for manipulating image color properties that I wanted in the first place. - February 10th: Nope. 'Just found a bug in v.1.07.1 with the sizing of the full-size display when converting multiple images. Not a very big problem and could've propably been easily fixed if the sourse code had still existed. But absolutely not publishable..
February 18th: Oh, and btw. I just thought I'd also mention that Fifi, just after the February 6th entry when I'd just deleted the sourcecode, did atempt a "last-minute rescue" in the form of the .bak backup copy and a leftover copy of the NDPn9vml03.exe sourcecode that also just so happened to have been leftover in the bin folder - After letting me find some insignificant pieces of psycholinguist formulae, as if discarding of those would change (or diverte my attention from) the fact of Fifi having fundamentally and irreversibly polluted the features that I was about to implement by its mere interest in my working on them. Of course I immediately just deleted the backup and the leftover exe sourcecode too. And it's also been atempting to encourage me to resume other software ideas I have been considering some time ago. Just too bad. So as for its apparent eager to see wether I could solve certain remaining problems regarding the features I implemented in 1.07.1: I very likely would have solved those problems if I had kept working on it, but as of now I'm not even giving it a chance to find out. That's how it goes when some rediculous little paranormal second rank blob of snot named Looser, or anyone else, for that matter, try to make some kind of competing of my work; then the only "sport" I'll play is spoilsport and ruin the "competition" in response! So (apart from the minute detail about having the actual - other than purely hypothetic, and seemingly somehow "conditioned" - possibility of - not just "almost", but actually - earning money from my work) if some paranormal phenomenon is so eager to see what I can accomplish of anything at all, or come up with of new ideas, or anyhow want any kind of creative work out of me, then it should have stayed the heck off of my business and let me work on it my way. Since that does not seem to be possible I shall not create any more software or anything else at all; but focus my attention on commiting suicide. Then it can try and see how much entertainment or other experiences of any kind it can leach from a dead person. (February 19th: As for the suggestion I should play dead: Here's another dead end idea: How about thus renaming "online games" as such! It's not my fourtieth yet, so cool it, huh!)
February 18th: Just the other day there was one of the images that I downloaded for the slideshow application that I considered could be converted with another conversion rule that I could have made for the colorizer if the source code had still existed. It's not a conversion rule that I've ever heard about any other graphics application have, so I suppose it would have been a completely new invention. Good thing I'll never implement it now. That way at leat noone else will benefit from the idea, and as for Fifi's apparent - very annoying and disruptive - eager to atempt to make me show off what I can do: Ha ha! Now I just threw that idea away without even giving it a chance.
March 14th: I just had an idea of yet another conversion method that could have been used by the Colorizer application. Again something that I haven't heard of any other graphics application that has - still; in this case, given how obviously useful that function would be, I'd imagine it to be likely that at least some professional graphics software would have a function like that. Anyways, it's not gonna be availeable for only 10,- euro bucks as part of the Colorizer, that's for sure. As for the other idea of the February 18th entry; I forgot what it was. That's good. I'll try to forget this idea again too.



March 26th: Rasmus Palbo Nielsen obviously has any right to give away those of his own creative works as a present, which Rasmus Palbo Nielsen himself deem it to suitable to give away, to other persons or to common benefice and use, since it is Rasmus Palbo Nielsen who himself is the rightful owner of the intellectual rights over each of his own creative works, unless-, or until the time when-, Rasmus Palbo Nielsen himself transfer the intellectual rights over this or that of his own creative works. - Any attempt on part of a certain reduculous little paranormal second rank blob of snot named Looser (scornfully also called Fifi) at claiming any kind of payment for anything which Rasmus Palbo Nielsen has created, is thus not valid, and may be ignored as the unbelievable nonsense that it is.

March 26th: Another observation, btw: Blocking out visual and auditive semantics has proven to be very effective. After awhile of that the rediculous little second rank blob of snot named Looser (scornfully also called Fifi) that paranormal phenomenology is, tend to decrease its level of activity in terms of frequency and intensity of paranormal occurances (at least with regard to my visual and auditive surroundings). Even if I remove the blurring glasses after visual occurances have dropped visually-semantic paranormal activity does not return immediately. However such occurances have in such cases returned gradually or "sneaking", after a while. (ie. a few days to about a week). As a hypothesis, though, it may appear as if the phenomenon is somehow "weakened" by being deprived of perceptual- or experiental input, and require abit of time to recover.


April 12th: Since Fifi has at this point not yet demonstrated itself capable of not manifesting itself I am at present working on a rearranging my observations presented on this page into a more systematic and conceivable form. Thus the rearrangement is mostly going to contain the same information as is presented on this page, although I present this summary of Fifi's observed distraction methods as it contain some newly added information which has not previously been presented on this page.

One of the functions that Fifi has revealed itself to serve has been to prevent or hamper communicaton: That seem to generally have been the case of any communication attempt on my part at all; though especially whenever I have been about to utter myself on any of a particular group of topics that Fifi seemingly especially didn’t want me to communicate about. Fifi has revealed a number of tricks that it has commonly used in order to serve that function. I have grouped these tricks into three main categories:


1: Attempts at preventing or hampering my access to channels of communication:
By far the most disruptive and hampering of Fifi’s methods of attempting to prevent me from communicate consist, of course, in the mere fact that by manifesting itself with its annoying narrative enactments etc., in the semantics of whichever communicative situation that I have entered, Fifi has thereby implicitly made any kind of in-depth participation on my part unbearable to me; thus in effect preventing-, or at least seriously hampering, my access to any channels of communicaton at all.

2: Attempts at intimidating me to not communicate the message:

One method that Fifi has used, aims at attempting to intimidate me:
  • For example by establishing a preceding context to reconceptualize (see the next category) whatever message it was that I intended, so that it would have caused harm to others that I'd care about if I had delivered it into that context.
  • Or by atempting to make appear that delivering whatever message it was that I intended would somehow amount to “admitting defeat”; “accepting humiliation”, “being tricked” to give away information, letting myself “be manipulated”, or would otherwise somehow compromise my pride or personal integrity.

3: Atempts at preventing the message from being understood by the recipient:

Another, more frequently used method consist of quickly establishing a preceeding context* that would somehow prevent the information I intended from being correctly interpreted and perceived by the recipients of whatever the message I was trying to communicate, to the effect of preventing the recipient from understanding the communicated message:
*This phenomenon becomes especially apparent with regard to attempts at participating in online forum discussions; where communication appear onscreen as a one-dimentional sequence of posts or topic-headlines: Thus for example; if I was considering to post something then at the time I was about to post it one or several new posts or topic-headlines (depending on which applies to the situation) would have appeared prior to the would-have-been entry of mine; being of such a nature that my entry would have appeared to be somehow (mis)interpretable in context of those.
  • F.ex. by suggesting or insinuating some particular "alterior motive" behind the message, in order to attempt diverting the recipients’ attention away from the content of the message and whatever context it was intended to relate to, in favour of focusing on endulging into hypothesizing about imagined "hidden knowledge" and "alterior motives" on my part.
  • Or, as another example, by reconceptualizing the content of the intended message through establishing a preceeding context that would make appear as if the message that I was atempting to communicate was to be interpreted as a comment on some other topic which actually it wasn’t intended to have anything to do with.

4: Attempts to distract attention:

  • The method that Fifi has most frequently been using to attempt to distract attention consist in generating some kind of agitated emotional state among the would-be recipients of the message. In particular Fifi has frequently used stirring up animosity, or competitive enthusiasm (such as a sentiment reminiscent to that of a sports-event) among the recipients whome I have tried to communicate to.
  • Alternatively Fifi’s attempts to prevent communication may aim at distracting my attention away from whatever message it was that I was intending to communicate. Either by attempting to generate some emotional state; f.ex. by threats of more or less fictive “dangers” – riddles as a temptation to endulge into puzzle solving – or provocations, atempting to lure me into competition or argumentation. (Although the provocations method is presumably not particularly effective on myself, on account of the fact that I have gotten used to it, it has none the less remained the preferred method of distraction that Fifi has most frequently attempted to distract me with. Presumably due, partly, to the fact that generating animosity otherwise seem to be one of Fifi’s main objectives.)*
    *With regard to these distraction atempts that Fifi has atempted to use on me (which manifest themselves paranormally), it would appear as if some of the concrete people within whichever group that I may be attempting to communicate – to some degree, obviously, as a result of Fifi’s influence - in addition also attempt to prevent my communication or create distractions, on their own; the nature of which is less foreseeable as their choices of methods with which they attempt to distract me need to depend on their previous experiences with what has been effective on others, and their guesses and hypotheses about me, rather than on my actual psychological constitution.
  • Finally Fifi’s attempts to distract attention may consist in providing some kind of diversion; either in the form of some event external to the communicative situation, or by performing one of its enactments: These may consist of either acting out to some degree some narrative known among the partakers of the communication (such as the plot from some popular movie, or from some well known story or tale) – or the enactment may consist in a trick of making the illusion that personalities “jump“ from one person to another. (Thorough observation of this particular trick has revealed its perceived effect; however impressive and convincing it might appear at first glance, to be actually rather simple, in that it rely on nothing more than having one person unknowingly utter one or two hints, such as a phrase or a simple piece of information associating to another person not known to him- or her-self – although, obviously, known by the observer, whose perception is of course projecting the illusion. In some respects this trick is reminiscent of the way one tease a cat by switching on and off a spot of light in different places). Needless to say; of course neither the presumed "source" person nor the presumed "destination" person has undergone any actual change of personality at all.)*
    *This illusion appear to be a trick that Fifi (as far as its manifestation in my own personal perceptual world goes) has learned relatively recently and has only been using for a rather limited period. Although, judging from what appear to be the reactions and conventional interpretations of others, I asume it to be an otherwise relatively commonly known paranormal phenomenon, as far as paranormal phenomena goes.

April 16th: More newly added:
Frequently used narratives/illusions:

The "burglary"-illusion: One of Fifi's preferred narratives consist of atempting to convince me of conceiving of its rediculous second rank paranormal foolishness as a sign of a kind of "burglary atempt" in the hope of being able to provoke paranoia; which emotion is then conceptualized in terms of a "burglar alarm". Variations of this theme is as far as I can see also used as a psycholinguist formula (see the index), in the form of the "spyware" myth. It is in this context very possible that those who use this formula believe in the illusion themselves. To the extent that it may be said to have some metaphoric validity would be in context of the before mentioned tendency to project misc. content of consciousness onto the fysical surroundings: To the extent that one is possibly primed to worry about "intellectual valuables" and believe that a sort of "telepathic theft atempt" is unfolding, one is of course also prone to be extra aware of such "intellectual valuables", and thereby bring them to actuality in one's consciousness: Although the projection appear to be more or less random, the statistical likelyhood of a particular idea being projected to depend on the duration and intensity with which it occur in consciousness.

The "time travel" theme is another narrative which Fifi regularly like to enact misc. variations of. In the so far most frequently occuring variation of the "time travel" theme, which Fifi has previously enacted, Fifi has pretended to be later versions of myself which should thus presumably appear to communicate with me from sometime in the future. (A theme which Fifi has picked up from movies). At the time of writing this it is the "backwards traveller" variation, which Fifi appear to have be fond of: According to that narrative past events appear to be "explained" (and not least explained away) from contemporary (or possibly future) events; so that symbolic "personalities" corresponding with misc. random pieces of memory are acted out in the semantic space and are presumed to begin or "continue" its "journey backwards in time" (which also appear to have been intended to function to divert the blame of past miseries onto completely arbitrary people). Boring! This narrative trick for some reason reminds me of the rough joke that in case one has run someone over with their car then it should presumably be adviceable to back over them again to make sure they're dead because that should presumable be cheaper than paying compensations. The acting out of this narrative illusion is based on the same simple trick as the "personality jump" illusion, in that the simulation of "personalities" actually just consist of loose asociative sentences and bits of information. This narrative to some degree also function to rationalize Fifi's previously mentioned tendency to repeat (variations of) the same sequences of events (a phenomenon which is abit reminescent of interference patterns).



And let me again bring this reminder of the Superstitions-index,
and the refusal to experience-, create-, or even conceive of anything interesting
here, as the last item on this page, so it won't get drowned out by other, later, notes.
