‘New’ freezer


We’ve been looking for a freezer for some time now. Finally we found a nice one on (the norwegian classified ads site) finn.no. Yeah, it’s second hand, but cant really beat the price at 200 kroner.;-)

Holmenkollen ski jump gone


Holmenkollen, probably the most ‘famous’ norwegian ski jump, has been dismantled before they will make a new one. It’s kinda empty there without the ski jump, isn’t it? The old jump you can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmenkollen_ski_jump

Second snowfall


How long will this snow last? Will we have snow in time for christmas this year?:-)

Space, the final frontier

This video makes me want to go to space so much. It looks like it is not only science and “business”, but also that they have a lot of fun.:-)

Does anyone have $30000000 laying around somewhere that I can get?

Student food?


Mussel, squid and fried fish. Nam-nam!

Cheapest gas so far this year?


I just refueled my car at the Statoil station in Grønland, Oslo. Only 9,63 kroner per liter. I think that is the cheapest gas I have seen in several years.

XMind now Open Source!

XMind, the Mind Mapping software based on the Eclipse RC platform has gone Open Source! XMind is definitely one of my favorite pieces of software; though the price has been a bit prohibitive for many people. Now that it is open source, with an optional “Pro” version with some added collaboration features, it should probably get a bigger foothold in the mind mapping echosystem.

If you need a software app that help you structure your thoughts XMind I suggest you try XMind. It is available for download at the XMind website for all major operating systems; Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

Huge car


Waiting for a parking space outside IKEA I saw this huge car, or whatever you should call it. I contest the practicality of a car like this. Definitely not a good city car.

P doing accounting

P home from work


P just came home from work. Really tired after working for many hours.
