New name on the block

Yay!! I got access to my Flickr account today. It's actually amazing that Flickr support (aka Carol) took so much time and effort to bridge the gap between securing users from being "hacked" and supporting a maiden in distress. Lolz
Thanks bunches, Carol from Flickr support!!

Now I'll better get my account cleaned up. There are a lot of duplicates and pictures, that I actually don't see the point in keeping. It'll be a fun job, there are a lot of memories hidden there....


Some really funny like this with the title: Mammarazzi(!!) marking how proud I was of my new Sony Ericsson phone with camera :)

I've also - after long considerations - decided to write in English from now on. I started posting in English as part of the process of getting my Flickr account back/proving my identity, but I've decided to continue in English. There's 2 reasons (hopes) for that decision: I may have a better chance for getting a couple of readers and I may become better writing English.

That decision created a  problem: the original title of the blog was "faurholt's fumleri", which is completely untranslatable: "faurholt's fumblery" doesn't have the same punch. After long considerations I decided for "BlockHead" and to change my profile pic to an old treasured blockhead that I own. It belonged to an 80+ year old lady, who rented a flat in my house in Copenhagen back in the 1970ies. She never married, but lived in her parents house and worked as a millner all her life. The blockhead has traces of the numerous needle stitches she has done. I always think of the now deceased little old lady with the blood red nail polish and the thin lady cigar when I see the blockhead in my windowsill. She may not have kids and grand children to remember her, but the blockhead and I do.
