A Tasca Tequila Bar is little more than a hole in the wall, located in a narrow street in Lisbons Barrio Alto district. Still, this is where I find myself coming back to every time I visit the city. At A Tasca I usually find myself drinking Tequila slammers. A Tequila slammer, for those who […]
After having written on my homepage blogged for nigh on 10 years now I have come to the conclusion that I no longer have sufficient time to both developing the technology and blogging. Having assessed my alternatives I concluded that WordPress would be the best way forward. All the articles from my old web site […]
Då eg var liten var det sjeldan å sjå rein i Fitjefjella i det heile. Ivrige fjellvandrande grannar kunne rapportere å ha sett reinstammen borte på Vona i Naustdal eller kanskje så nære som i Steinbotnen, i Hyemarka eller på Granekupa. Nede i tuna på Fitje var dei aldri som eg kan hugse. No går […]
I am looking for a particularly powerful file deletion utility to wipe the remains of this tragic movie off the hard drive my media center PC. Do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be tricked into seeing this film. Even the longest of life spans doesn’t allow for this utter and complete waste. I […]
Acting upon an invite from friends and colleagues Olga and Rob of MDR partners I decided to make a detour to Prague for one day.

Ei kvinne på veg frå Delhi til London døydde under flyturen. Flyselskapet, British Airways, var ikkje budde på denne eventualiteten og visste ikkje anna råd enn å oppgradere henne til businessklasse. Saka lyder slik: The body of a woman in her seventies, who died after the plane left Delhi for Heathrow, was carried by cabin […]
Eit finsk parlamentsmedlem går inn i valkampen på ein original måte, han har omsett nettstaden sin til Klingon, eit språk som er nytta i den klassiske scifi-serien Star Trek.
