Aleksander and I have finally gotten a blog up for our trip through Europe this summer.

Almost summer…

This weekend was awesome. Monday was off as well due to Pentecost, and we had apparently been giving the good offerings to the weather Gods – the weather was insane! Not a cloud in the skies and 20-25 degrees. It was like a mini summer vacation at the end of May. On Friday, Aleksander and [...]

Dear Norwegian moviegoers

This has been bugging me for a long time, but now it’s enough. Seriously. You need to calm down and learn to enjoy every piece of the movie – even the end credits! What I am talking about is the clear panic that strikes Norwegian moviegoers once they see the screen showing the slightest sign [...]

Organizing my desktop

This is quite a techy post, so be warned! It has been a while since my last one though, so you can’t really complain… About half a year ago I wrote a post about organizing my desktop and how I was testing out Compiz Expo and a few other plugins to make my work, and [...]

Lost schmost!

I watched the season finale of Lost today. What a horrible, horrible, horrible series this has turned into. I want to beat myself for having spent another 765 (or something. I’ll ask Wolfram, once he’s online) valuable minutes of my precious life on this insane TV series. SPOILER ALERT! Don’t blame me if you continue [...]

This week – in pictures!

I’ve been doing some soul searching lately and have come to the conclusion that I need to do something about my blogging pattern and start keeping this place more up to date! I know that all of you are starting to wear out those Ctrl+R keys in your desperation for news about my wonderfully adventurous [...]

Europe: Be afraid!

Today we finally booked the first part of our Europe trip this summer! We’re taking the plane from Kristiansand to Paris on July 6th and then we’re on our way through Europe. It’s going to be strange being back in Paris, but I do look forward. It’s a great city, no matter what, and I [...]

Twitter

I’ve started using Twitter lately. Actually I have had an account for about half a year, but it was not untill a few months back when I really started to use it. I was one of those Twitter-sceptic people. Looking at it saying, “naaaaaah – what’s the use of that?” Why would people want to [...]

JaranCharts for 2008

Following Aleksander’s example I thought I would post my music charts for 2008. These charts have been recorded by Last.fm and  does not include tracks played on my iPod and some quite heavy use of Spotify without scrobbling during December. However, the charts should give a fairly accurate picture of what was hot on my [...]
