Two days ago, the first snowfall here in Oslo. The garbage truck having major trouble trying to drive downhill next to us. Midway he crashed into the fence, then he turned around and tried to go reverse dowhnill, crashing into the fence by the yellow house as well. At last he managed to slide down without causing major damage.

Jython – Unpack the manifest-file from a jar on the Windows platfom
Decided to create a script based on Jython v 2.1 (WebSphere comes with that version) that finds all third party jar-files packed in a EAR-file. When found I also needed to read the MANIFEST.MF-file to figure out the version of the jar. To accomplish this I needed to execute jar.exe to be able to extract the manifest file, when that is done I can read the line implementation-version in the file.
First, import the needed Java-classes
import java.lang.ProcessBuilder as ProcessBuilder
import java.lang.Process as Process
Then in the script
pb = ProcessBuilder(['cmd.exe', '/C', 'd:/WebSphere/AppServer/java/bin/jar.exe','xvf', 'd:/path/lib', 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF']);
pb.directory(io.File('d:/temp'))
process = pb.start()
process.waitFor()
process.destroy()
Norwegian elkhound and winter tyres
Today at Vestreng an unknown visitor suddenly came by, a very friendly representative of the Norwegian Elkhound. He was obviously tired of hunting, since he spent almost an hour together with us before heading of to work again. Here he is walking into the sun together with me and Anders.
Then later in the afternoon, when at home in Oslo – winter is here, changed tyres on my car.
The little difference
The people’s love is my reward

Have been sick for a while, but yesterday I finally got to do some training again. This time listening to Pearl Jam “Backspacer“. A great album, well worth spending time listening to.
Many great songs, Fixer is one of them

Black Rose in Oslo
Black roses (roses of black color) do not exist in nature. They are often featured in fiction with many different meanings and titles such as black magic, barkarole, black beauty Tuscany superb, black Jade,” and baccara and death varieties of roses.

Not sure if the truck driver has thought of the same symbolism when spray painting the truck which I saw outside my office building today.
This weekend in Tromsø
Spent the weekend in Tromsø celebrating my first cousin Andre, he turned 40 about a month ago. I also got to visit my friend Kent, always a pleasure. Sunday, lovely weather in Tromsø, Kent is giving the garden shredder a hard time.
Also testing the pogo stick
