Paternity leave rules!

Yesterday morning when I got up I was really happy that I have my paternity leave now. I looked out of the bathroom window and noticed that the traffic was standing still, almost no moment at all, both on the sideways down at Alnabru and on the motorway. This due to the first snowfall this season and people still using summer tyres. How stupid can they be. Morten has also written something about it http://www.mknudsen.org/?p=245, linking to a news article as well.

Better be prepared, water alarm mounted

To get an early warning in case of a water leak I have mounted a water alarm underneath the kitchen sink today. The neighbour downstairs had an accident earlier this year, the pipe to the dish washer leaked, but luckily for him he was home and was able to stop the water from causing a disaster.

I bought it at Clas Ohlson, I guess Kent wish he had been able to join me when I was there, it is by far his favourite shop as I know 🙂

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 🙂

In Glitnir we trust

– Jeg føler at bunnen var på forrige fredag, sier Thomas Lande, meglersjef i Glitnir Securities, til E24. http://e24.no/boers-og-finans/article2711561.ece

Earlier this year

– De sitter på gjerdet. Det er usikkert hvor bunnen er, sier Lande og legger vekt på at fallet ikke har noe å gjøre med forventet inntjening i selskapene. Dette er først og fremst basert på psykologi, mener Lande

– Hvor det stanser er anybody’s guess, utdyper han (Thomas Lande) http://www.dn.no/forsiden/borsMarked/article1291892.ece?jgo=most_read&WT.svl=sistlest

He guesses and feels, not alone doing that the past few weeks. Soon Christmas, so now we can start wishing as well
