My blog is yet again updated

I’ve now updated my blog again, so now I’m up and running with version 1.9.3 “Rainforest” of B2Evolution http://www.b2evolution.net. It is superb I must say, quite easy to upgrade as well, no hassle! I had to to two things to make it as I wanted, first enable cross-posting againg. It sometimes happens that I post to the wrong blog, for instance a new cd in my rBlogonly-blog, not in Albums only. Then I need to be able to move it. A simple update of admin.php in the conf folder is enough. Then I had to transfer the youtube-plugin files again. No hassle, since I had the files in the backup-folder from the old one.

My latest book

“Islam for begynnere”, after I had read “Hvorfor jeg ikke er muslim” I felt that I had to find a book that told me more about Islam, so I stumbled over this book on sale. I learned quite a lot of the fundamentals in Islam, but have in mind when reading it that it is not a neutral book. By this I mean that it does take side, for instance when mentioning the crusades it is more like “the horrible crusades…”. I had hoped for a more like a encyclopedia form of the text, but anyhow, it is a short book, easy to read and therefore worth spending time reading.

I tried to find yet another book about Islam in the book store, but I gave up. It seemed to me that there are two categories, and only two “Why I love Islam” and “Why I hate Islam”. I want a book where I can understand more about why things are the way they are, not “Osama bin Laden is a muslim, hence all muslims are bad”. I simply do not believe that every person who is a muslim wants to conquer the world and kill all non believers, beat all women and so on…

Vazelina Bilopphøggers – Bedre hell’ all medisin!

When we where driving to Vestlandet for our easter vacation I started singing on “Aagot Stang”. Then, when refueling at Stryn I came across this cd costing only 60,- and I just had to buy it, because of Aagot Stang. We started listening to it, and soon realized that Eldar Vågan has one hell of a talent when it comes to writing lyrics, but also as a composer. Until I bought the cd we both thought that most of the tunes Vazelina plays are cover of more famous tunes but with their own lyrics, but that is not a fact. Eldar Vågan has in fact written quite a lot of tunes as well…

Vazelina

To bad that Viggo Sandvik no longer is vocalist in the band, after 25 years he retired, but before I really discovered them…doh! Read more at http://www.vazelina.no/

Men har du noen gang lufte på eksos frå en båtmotor i ferskvatten?
Slik en 2 og en halv hesters outboard i Mjøsa utved domkirkeodden
Kjinne vinddrag frå åker og eng og flatebygder rundt omkring.
Blæs bort stresset og uro i skrotten min, bedre hæll æll medisin

Other genious lyrics: “Hårete gåsunger”, “11 år uten kvinnfolk”, “En stor sølvgrå lastebil” and much more
