Amsterdam, baby!

I’m off to Amsterdam next weekend! It won’t just be for leisure, as we’re 30+ people going for a workshop with the Norwegian Java User Group.

Long lost photos

Long lost photos

I was very happy yesterday, when an e-mail from VG Nett Fotoalbum (a Norwegian online photo service) arrived in my inbox, telling me that I had several albums quarantined and that they would be deleted if I did not take action and paid for hosting.

1 out of 4 are Muslims

I woke up to an article at Dagbladet.no today, which got my blood boiling.

Checking out EVE Online

Checking out EVE Online

I’ve been testing EVE Online for the last couple of months, nothing heavy, but a few hours here and there. I had a go at the game a couple of years ago as well, but gave up because of the overwhelming complexity. This time I decided to give it a bigger chance and try to [...]

Treasure hunting!

A couple of weeks ago I discovered the site Geocaching.com, after reading a tweet from Anders Brenna. Since I recently got a new phone with built in GPS, a HTC Hero, I started thinking this could be a cool way to use it a little more than just confirm my position whenever I am on [...]
