New job – from 1/12 I will be working for Telenor
Today is my last day as Senior Consultant for Workplace Consulting AS. Tomorrow I will be heading of to Fornebu, working for Telenor as System Specialist Middelware.
Been three very good years at WPC, but heading off to Telenor to get even more hands-on on WebSphere. Looking forward to that, also looking forward to be working at Telenorsenteret. Will be using bicycle as my main tool for transportation, maybe not during mid-winter, but from late March until early November it should be possible.

Out running…for a while
This morning me and Dag Anders agreed that we should go out running. We talked about using our bikes, but since it was a bit frosty we decided to run. Very nice weather when we started, and it seemed like we should get two very good hours…could not be more wrong. After about 15 minutes I stepped on a root and slipped causing me to pull my toe of all things. “No problem, we can continue…”, but after yet another 30 minutes I had to withdraw, I had to stop running and walk back. So no more running for a while…
(No doubt that my toe has taken some beating before as well…)
@Update: Elin did not approve the picture 🙂
How to correctly build ginger bread houses
Got a tip from a colleague of mine. SINTEF Building and Infrastructure have just published a document on how to construct ginger bread houses according to their recommendation. Good to see that they have some fun at work as well, but not to be mistaken, it is serious work… Read the recommendation in Norwegian here http://www.sintef.no/Byggforsk/Nyheter/Unnga-byggskader–bak-pepperkakehus-etter-forskriftene/
Sissel Kyrkjebø and Odd Nordstoga in concert
I granted Elin two tickets to the Christmas concert with Sissel Kyrkjebø and Odd Nordstoga as the morning gift from me (together with a pair of earrings). She wanted me to join her, and today was the day for the concert. Both artists are very good, and together they are good as well. We had a really enjoyable one and a half hours.
But I must say that Oslo Spektrum sucks as a concert hall for such type of music. When Green Day and Metallica and such bands have a concert, the volume is so loud that you do not notice the echo, but when Sissel sings you cannot avoid hearing the fact that Oslo Spektrum provides a lot of echo. I would rather prefer Oslo Konserthu
Blind testing caviar
I had bought caviar from Coop here the other day, but Elin insisted that Mills caviar was waaaay better. I challenged her, and arranged a blind test. Prepared two spoons, and made her decide who was best – meaning according to her, which one was Mills. Tasted, and said sure as hell “This is Mills caviar…”….aaaand she was wrong!! Victory to me!
New glass fuse does the trick
Some days ago the lamp we got as a wedding present this summer suddenly did not bring light to our living room anymore. I tried to change the light bulb, but no, it did not do the trick. Luckily I frequently read the blog to my colleague from Bertel O. Steen Morten. He had just experienced the same problem and made a blog post about it http://www.mknudsen.org/?p=1039, so thanks to him, or should I say Betty, we are now able to see again when in the livingroom.
Reach level 3 boost to unlock ‘Mr C’
Ever tried out Cyclomaniacs and wondered hot to achieve the “Reach level 3 boost to unlock ‘Mr C'” achievement?
Well, the way to do it is to get boost, and while you have a boost you must fill up your stuntmeter to get another boost…and if you do that one more time as well it is…boost level 3. I prefer Spoke when doing it.
And for all time I will ban Simen for telling me about this game 🙂
Pica pica outside my window
Working home today when suddenly a Pica Pica, or European Magpie landed just outside my window. Since I had the video camera right next to me I got the bird on tape, because remember if you get it on tape, you can get it in cash.
