Escape from boredom

I want an operating system like the Cloud http://www.thinkgos.com/cloud/ Imagine being able to press the power button of your computer and in just a few seconds you are online with your browser. For all other tasks you will still have other OS like Windows and your Linux distro, but for just browsing I would prefer not having to wait for at least 5 minutes before everything is up and running. Actually, my Lenovo T60 with all my installed services needs more than that.

“Satnav takes BMW driver to brink of 100ft drop”

He claims that he did just follow the directions given by his GPS. I like the comment “It’s all well and good trusting your satnav but how about trusting your eyes?”

He should have read “Ten tips for sat nav safety”

Remember from one of the episodes of “Nordkalotten 365” with Lars Monsen, he was together with a sámi who said “I once bought a GPS, but I sold it again, since I already knew where I was…”

When you have Google? http://googlesightseeing.com/

In Norwegian, http://nrkbeta.no/ – much interesting reading there, currently you will find much about the Pirat Bay-trial. Lately I have also spent time reading http://labs.finn.no/ once in a while.

Henning Solberg will be driving in the downhill slope at Kvitfjell.

So I had to watch the old clip from TopGear where Henning competes with the bob at Lillehammer. Always a good one…”the rally driver did hardly speak any English…” 🙂

Took this picture on Sunday, it’s a very nice winter I must say.

Yesterday morning Anders woke me up at 05.00. So I got up and prepared some milk for him. When finished I looked and walking back to the bedroom I took a quick look out of the window and at first I thought it was very early for our neighbour to be out walking his dog. But then I realised that it was not Pascal, the schafer, but a fox. He took his time, enough for me to fetch the camera and take some pictures.

Finn.no have recently asked people to join forces and get rid of Internet Explorer 6.0. Read more at their blog finn-anbefaler-ie6-brukere-a-oppgradere-sin-nettleser.

So now, if a user enters my homepage with IE6, it will look like the picture below

Yesterday I took my cross country skis out for the first time this season. The conditions are very good (to much snow in the city), and they have been for quite a while now, so it was about time that I did according to Espen (since the season is almost over now as he said). I just had to run for about five minutes carrying my skis, then it was just to conquer Østmarka. I was out for about 2 hours, and the same today. Good fun, but I need to update my knowledge on wax, that’s for sure.
