Escape from boredom

I’m now allowed to call myself “IBM Certified System Administrator – WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment V6.1”. I passed test 253 today with a score of 87%. A bit surprised when pressing finished and saw that the score was that high I must admit. This test was better than some of the other I’ve taken. As always I prepare using the Certfx tests, and this time the questions on the actual test was not a copy of the Certfx questions. The questions are closely related, but then again, they are supposed to prepare you for the test so they have to be, but as stated before – not a copy making the test a bit harder.

This is my fourth IBM certification in a year, adding two more if I count the instructor certifications and I’m planning on getting more.

My latest book “Peer Gynt” by Henrik Ibsen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_Gynt

Weeeeellll, I’ve read it, but jezzes it took some time to struggle through the 140 or so pages. A bit like Ulysses by James Joyce, which I gave up after 250 pages. I guess Peer Gynt would have ended up like that book if it had been longer…unfinished! But, an important part of Norwegian history, and now I know it by heart!

Once again I tried to upgrade from b2evolution 1.10.3 to 2.x, this time 2.4, but it failed. Thanks to my backup of the database I managed to get it all up and running again without any sweat.

Was watching an episode of Fifth Gear http://fifthgear.five.tv/ on Discovery Channel yesterday where they tested Volvo C30. They talked and they talked, but never once mentioned the similarity with the old P 1800 ES model. The rear window is without doubt closely related on those two models, so why they did not bother to mention that is beyond understanding for me. Better give me TopGear!

Saw this on Golden Goal last week, they played fotball using binoculars based on what they had seen on this clip http://www.filmsnutter.net/view/202/spille-fotball-med-kikkert-p-/

I have just watched a program on tv about the history of modern skiing. It is with great respect I realize the value of what Sondre Norheim and the Hemmestveit brothers did about 120 years ago. Without them, skiing as we know it might not have been what it is.

I found this video on Youtube from Morgedal. If you press read more there is another movie clip, just 18 seconds of Seth Morrison doing a backflip when in Lyngen. That guy is amazing!

At Sola waiting for the plane back home. My computer has just had a near death experience. When logging off at Stavanger I initiated the “Shut down computer”-process, and then unplugged the power supply. For some reason my computer goes in to a dead lock once and then when I do that, but this time I did not notice and just packed my laptop in my bag. When at the airport I noticed that the temperature was extremely high on the outside of the protection when I packed away my comic book. When using the “Swede button” and trying to restart nothing happened. I waited until I had passed the security check and then plugged in the power supply, luckily it is back running again.

There is also an annoying German guy here, speaking English in his cell phone so that almost everyone at the whole airport can take part in his conversation. Jezzes, why not just go outside and shout, saving the money for the use of his phone!
