Which HDMI-cabel should you choose?

Without doubt the cheapest one. Kinda funny, TV2 Hjelper Deg did a test, and no one, not even the sales person from Hifi Klubben could spot any difference what so ever. Note that it also included a test by a professional consultant with the special equipment http://www.tv2underholdning.no/hjelperdeg/article2323104.ece

And we have still not even bought a flat-screen tv 🙂

What is considered a valid ID?

When using the remote desktop-tool in Windows it says here in Norwegian that when I connect I will be asked for my id. I’m just wondering if my drivers license will be valid, or maybe I need my passport. Since I don’t have my passport with me, I guess that is the reason for the server not responding.

So much we do not need at all!

Microsoft patents speech censoring, why on earth would we need it, unless you are China or a dictator in some not-good-to-live-in-country. It is supposed to be possible to use it real time as well. As it is said in this article M$ even claims that the listener experience is supposed to be better when F-words are removed from music. Imagine Denis Leary’s Asshole with this filter enabled…”I’m just a regular Joe,… I like ****…., I’m an *******, he’s an ****, I **** on the seat…”

STUPID!!!!!

Stuck on the subway

Yesterday I was late for work. When in then tunnel between Jernbanetorget and Stortinget the power disappeared and the train stopped about 10 metres from the platform. No help for me since I was sitting in the second car. Not sure how, but in front of us there was one of the new MX3000 which had power. It reversed back to my train and connected to it. Then we could walk all the way through our train, into the MX3000 and then out on the platform at Stortinget. Yet another dramatic incident in my life ended good 🙂

Making popcorn

Yesterday evening me and Anders was home alone. After I had put him to bed, I decided to make myself popcorn. The recipe is quite simple, fill the bottom of the pan with oil, turn the heat on. When it is very hot, fill the bottom of the pan with corn until it is all covered. Wait, shake once in a while. So I did, and as you can see I’m living on the edge. 10 more corns, and disaster might had happened.

The lid was a bit lifted by the popcorns, but disaster did not happen.

But, after I had removed the lid, three corns suddenly popped…scary!

Hellacopters in concert

I was paralyzed
as i opened up my bloodshot eyes
do i really wanna know
where i’ve been or where i’ve put my nose

Yesterday Anders, Espen, Loy, Bendik and I went to see the farewell concert to Hellacopters. Pure rock’n roll, very good concert I must say!! They got on stage, and immediately started playing. After four songs Nicke said “Tjena Norje!” (Hello Norway), then right on to the next song. How cool is that, no chitchat, just rock’n roll!!

Bendik caught by the camera twice, and pictures from the concert. Click on the picture to enlarge
