It started to rain quite heavily, as Elin said, if we had lived two hundred years ago we would have thought that it was the end of days…

New cellphone – Nokia 5500 Sport
My old 5140 have annoyed me quite much the past few week, turning itself of every once and then and leaving me with the need to take the battery out to unlock it, and then use the charger to switch it on. The use of the charger was needed because the on/off switch did not work after the phone had been in the washing machine last year.
So I bought a 5500 sport, wanted a phone with a bit more functionality than my old one. So have had it since Tuesday, and it has…guess what…turned itself of twice. By using the code *#0000# I’m able to check the OS version – currently V04.03. I will try to upgrade the os, hoping that will do the trick.
Anyhow, when I got it I looked for the auto lock, just to realize that it had no auto lock. I had to download it and install it as just another program. If you ever need it, do a search for AutoLock_v1.1_for_S60_3rd_ed.SISX. I have a fear that Symbian sucks bigtime!!!
King Leopold’s Ghost: – Adam Hochschild
King Leopold’s Ghost: a story of greed, terror, and heroism in Colonial Africa or “Kong Leopolds arv” in Norwegian, my latest book. Such stories we never did learn in school, but really should have. By reading this book you get a much better understanding of the story of Africa the past 100 years. I won’t try to retell it here, I would just recommend the book to you for sure!

ICE Your Cell Phone For Safety
Store your loved ones on your cell phone as ICE
ICE is the brainchild of British paramedic Bob Brotchie, who told The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen Tuesday the idea came to him “just from reflecting on difficulties I’ve had in obtaining information about patients. The vast majority of people don’t carry emergency contact details or next-of-kin details, but the vast majority of people carry cell phones.

So now Elin is stored as “ICE, Elin” not meaning that she is ice cold or something like that 🙂

I go bicycle riding….
We went to visit Pia and Arve yesterday and stayed there for one night. I brought my bike so today I went bicycle riding home from Tønsberg. Due to the road work in the tunnels on the highway, E18, I did not want to cycle along the road from Holmestrand with its heavy traffic. So instead I cycled to Horten, took the ferry to Moss and went along the road passing Elvestad, Enebakk and Rælingen. All in all 115 kilometers, passing three county’s: Vestfold, Østfold and Akershus.
Somewhere between Ringvold and Elvestad I also spotted an elk only 10 meters from the road. It ignored me totally, instead it stood there eating.

Wonderland – The Sountrack
We did watch the movie Wonderland, telling the story about the Wonderland Murders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderland_Murders where John Holmes, the old porno star, was involved some way or the other. The music is from the early 80’s and late 70’s, some of it really good, and therefore I bought the album right away.
There is no such thing as bad weather
…only crappy clothes. Did Lillehammer – Oslo yesterday, also know as Lille Styrkeprøven http://www.styrkeproven.no. Started with Sportsklubben Rye and had no problem to hang in there all the way to Minnesund. Then I really had to take a piss, so I was not able to catch them up, but that did not matter because then I had to really struggle to keep the pace. Up until then it was not hard, just wet – wet – wet, but from Minnesund I felt the hla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen flooding in my legs. I passed the finishing line at the time of 5.25 – quite happy with that one. There results are available here http://results.ultimate.dk/live/front/index.php?e=422&t=www&l=no
And my car passed 60.000 kilometers yesterday when Elin was on sightseeing at Hedmark, Hurdal and Jessheim 🙂

I’ve had it!!!!
I totally hate Oslo Sporveier. I came back from Leikanger today, took the train to Oslo S and arrived at Jernbanetorget subway station at 19.41, just one minute before the subway was supposed to head for Ellingsrud̴sen, line 2. But Рno, they have now started with the summer schedule, so from 19.00 the subway is only passing by every half hour. BASTARDS!!!!
Where can I sign up on a “I hate summer schedules”?? I got no seat because there where no free seats, in the evening, how stupid are the people managing Oslo Sporveier. Holiday schedules, now??? In July ok, but now, f#¤# them!!
Others are frustrated as well http://skriblerier.net/blogg/399/
