Pneumatic tube

A couple of weeks ago I was out doing my duty, restarting a WebSphere Portal server for a customer when I saw this in their building: A pneumatic tube. I do not believe that it was in use today, but I had to take a picture of it. Funny thing, I wanted to try it out 🙂

How to make a good round of waffles

My short introduction on how to make a good round of waffles, assuming the batter is already prepared.

Make sure the waffle iron is hot enough. My iron is so advanced that is has a green light flashing when ready. Pour batter in the hot waffle iron

When the waffle is a bit done, but still underdone, the iron will lift itself up as the picture is showing. This due to the waffle is swelling.

To make a good solid waffle you then need to apply pressure on the waffle iron, hold for about ten seconds while the waffle makes a sizzling sound.

After a couple of minutes, depending on your iron and how efficient it is…your waffle is done. Size matters, I have the largest they had in the shop! Less trouble eating

Concert with Bigbang yesterday

First we went out to Mecca to eat http://oslopuls.no/restaurant/article1185150.ece Quite ok, but nothing really special. Then it was concert, together with all the kids on the balcony at Sentrum Scene. All tickets downstairs where sold out, so we had to stay there with the kids, drinking lemonade. But it did not matter, since this was the best Bigbang concert I ever have been to, and it was my forth.

Greni’s guitar amp was not to happy, a fuse snapped, and they had trouble getting hold of a new one. So he had to play two songs with acoustic guitar. Did not matter, and when he got his amp to work again he found his extra gear.

PMS Survival Tips

Elin was quite happy, for the first time she had found a video on the internet that she wanted to show to me 🙂 She had found it here http://www.mortenflaten.com/blogg/221106211058_everybodys_got_something_to_hide.html

I’ve tried using the youtube plugin in my blog http://manual.b2evolution.net/Plugins/youtube_plugin Does seem to have some minor bugs, since I’m not able to get the correct search results – but spanish subtitles does not interfere with the user experience according to my standards 🙂

But after some back and forward, I realized that at least I could past the link to the video manually between the [video:youtube:] tags. So here below is the pure english version provided to you as well.

At the airport in Pittsburgh

Came in early, took a taxi together with Terry. Kind a funny incident at the check in. Two women where working there, both employed by North West Airlines, but quite clearly not working on the same team.

  • Lady 1 – Please come up to the counter here sir!
  • Lady 2 – NO! Please wait by the line sir, it’s full here!!
  • Lady 1 – Don’t listen to her, she does things her own way, if she bothers you I will call the manager
  • Lady 2 – SIR! It’s full here
  • Lady 1 – Don’t listen to her, I will help you sir!

No wonder I was confused! I now have 2 hours until the plane leaves for Detroit, where I will have at the most 46 minutes before my next plane leaves for Amsterdam. Some says it’s enough, some other says…run for your life…time will show.
