No need for spending days in Spain or other places known as “syden” when you can enjoy the nice weather up north and go for a swim in the clear blue water of Ranfjorden.
Ranfjorden – Nesna – lovely day for a swim

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it
Spent hours struggling with the stupid error “WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it”. I have two XML-documents one, which I need to copy a given node from and the other file where I first needed to remove the matching node then copy it from source to the target file. Trick is to use importNode, not just cloneNode
def copyOfSource = sourceProviders[0].cloneNode(true)
targetRoot.appendChild(targetDoc.importNode(copyOfSource, true))
Hours of work solved in few minutes just refining my Google search. Was about to post a question on http://stackoverflow.com and while preparing the question I needed some more background information. Tada…
Business idea, not new – but fun anyway
Buy Pilsner Urquell, bottle deposit in Sweden is 50 Swedish øre. Drink it up and then do the deposit in Norway, where you get 1 Norwegian kroner in return. Both fun and extra money in return!
The business idea is tried before by Kramer and Newman in The Bottle Deposit, Kramer giving the details in the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1blsZxXDCU&feature=related
New commuter bike
Needed a new bike in a hurry, bought the cheapest one available at XXL having hydraulic disc brakes.
Quite ok, need to replace the seat sometime, it is to big and soft.

In memory of – my bike never used
Yesterday I spent about two hours providing TLC for my new used bike. I moved parts from my other two bikes in order to get a fully functional commuter bike. Foot pedals from my Kona bike, have already bought new ones for it. And light, mud protection and such from my old commuter.
Really enjoyed my own invention, the “double rear mud protection”, and was looking forward to be using it to work this morning. But, when in the garage this morning I did not find it…the bike trolley was stolen. F¤#%!!! Will be getting most of the money worth back on the insurance, but most of all it is really annoying!
So this is the only thing I have left of the bike…a picture…and a posting to be found here terrengsykkel.no/ubb/
Only to be found at jumble sale
Elin bought this … thing … at a jumble sale in Hellesylt yesterday, had to pay as much as 5 Norwegian kroners. I have applied my settings.
While I found this spanner while walking to Hellesylt, the cost of nothing and perfect as a gift to Asle
