New job – working for KLP

Anything but the other

Last Friday was my last day working for Telenor. Been there nearly three years and have had a great time together with good colleagues, learned a lot and also did get to ride my bike back and forth many, many times.

But yesterday I started working for KLP http://www.klp.no. Will be working with well known stuff such as WebSphere Application Server off course, but also I will get to dive into the details of FileNet Content Manager and such. Located next to Oslo Central Station it is the perfect place to be commuting to.

Online again

Work/Geek

My blog is yet again up and running after about two days of downtime. The issue has been related to my ISP having moved my domain to another server. This caused http://hellem.org to reply with another ip than http://www.hellem.org. In addition the database server had been moved so I had to update the configuration files to the blog.

But, now back again!

Disk failure

Sport

The weather has been amazing today, and after having spent the whole day inside together with Anders who once again is sick I just had to take my bike and race trough Trulsrunden before Elin should head of to SATS. Halfway trough (see this clip at 0:30 to see where) my front wheel got jammed and I had to jump off my bike. My knee did hurt quite much, had to stop for some minutes before checking my bike realizing that the back wheel did not spin as it should. Realized the disk was totally messed up, but not worse than it did allow me to ride my bike back home. So no MTB tomorrow…

Street filled with cones

Anything but the other

Our street is filled with cones. At first I did not understand why

But, when coming home from work I heard the sound of the woodpecker up in the utility pole. It is in fact pretty damaged due to the woodpecker using it to hold on to the cones while he eats the seeds.

Songs with a meaning

Music

Got introduced to Glen Campbell “A better place” by listening to Kvegpels, Kristopher Schau talked about Campbell and this song in particular. While listening to it, remember that Campbell has alzheimer.

I’ve tried and I have failed, Lord
I’ve won and I have lost
I’ve lived and I have loved, Lord
Some times, at such a cost

[Chorus:]
One thing I know
The world’s been good to me
A better place, awaits you’ll see

Some days I’m so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones I love, Lord
More and more each day

Oooh, a better place.

Then, Campbell has been playing with many well known artists such as Elvis, Beach Boys and off course Johnny Cash

Which leads me on to Cash and his fantastic cover of Hurt, the song by Nine Inch Nails

Train stuck in hair

Anything but the other

While playing with the kids Elin laid her head down on the Brio train tracks. Never again, because the train did not stop, even if it hit her head and kept spinning so the hair got jammed into the wheels…end of story: I needed to use the scissors to cut it loose…

Last day of summer?

Anything but the other

Not that it has been a lot of summer at all this year, it has been very wet, but yesterday I guess it might have been last day of summer this year. When heading home from work it was clear blue sky and pretty hot actually. I only needed to wear short/short. Pretty different from last weeks spring flood.

Short/short
