  • Booze – Business – Berlin

    ,

    A recent study trip with Avinet’s “corporate mother”, Asplan Viak, took me to Berlin in the company of about 60 merry colleagues. Following a similar experience in Turin, Italy, last year my expectations were split. Happy, as always, when thinking of the opportunity to enjoy evenings out in good company – but at the same…

  • Haust på Granekupa

    ,

    Det er ikkje eit skikkeleg år om eg ikkje har vore inn på Fagredalsreset og sett utover Fagredalen, Blådalen og Måsedalen. Då frende Ove var på (relativt) sørlege breddegrader for nokre dagar, nytta vi høvet til å ta ein tur på Granekupa for å fiske – og meditere over nok eit år utan at vi…

  • Cumbria: Hiking and fishing in Englands lake district

    View from the ascent to Scafell Pike from Wasdale, overlooking Wastwater and the Cumbrian coast on the horizon. This years fishing trip was destined for the Cumbrian mountains in North-Western England, making it the third of our fishing trips abroad, succeeding trips to the highlands of Scotland and to Connemara in Western Ireland.

  • Eg er usamd, nei vent, eg er HEILT usamd?

    ,

    Eg svara idag på ei spørjegransking på Internett. Til eitt av spørsmåla var det fire svaralternativ: “helt uenig”, “uenig”, “enig” og “helt enig”. Kan nokon fortelje meg skilnaden på det å vere “usamd” og det å vere “heilt usamd”?

  • Til lukke, Gunhild & Roy

    Fyrste september gifte Gunhild og Roy seg i Bygstad kyrkje med påfølgjande fest på Åmot gard. Eit storveges bryllaup som varte frå fredag til søndag – og som seint vil bli gløymt.

  • This update program will perform an update

    Downloaded and installed the long awaited Windows Mobile 6 update for HTC-branded TyTN phones today. At one point during the install procedure I was presented with this screen: This screen is obviously designed to be idiot-proof and reads in sequence these three sentences: This utility updates the ROM image on your PDA phoneDuring the update…

  • Where to spend your energy and creativity as an Internet writer

    ,

    Above: the planet Earth, and with it; the Internet, as seen from the moon (“Earth-Rise” image courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre web site) A question I have pondered on quite a bit since I first took an interest in the World Wide Web is where to put my energy and creativity as a writer to…

  • It turns out I'm not average-looking after all!

    ,

    I Stumbled Upon a web site about face research: Researchers Lisa DeBruine and Ben Jones are experimental psychologists working for the University of Aberdeen. On their web site, FaceResearch.org, you can test some of the computer tools they have developed including an intriguing application which allows you to create average faces from a number of…

  • På sauepatrulje i Fitjefjella (bilete)

    ,

    Var med frende Anders på “sauepatrulje” i Fitjefjella i tjukk skodde no på Søndag. Hadde med fiskestang og fotoapparat, resultat: 0 fisk og 50+ bilete. Rusa på fiskelukka i Måsedalen to dagar før let eg likevel ikkje dette gå inn på meg. Sjå album her.
