Anyone?
Usability on the wild side

Heavy duty protection for my cell phone
Got my Otterbox Defender Case here the other day. Superb protection for my phone, makes it waaaay more shock resistant, and also makes it water resistant. Note – not waterproof, just water resistant, but it cover my needs. I have a waterproof bag for moments when the going gets really tough (Birkebeinerrittet last year for instance).
I have access to all features of the phone without problems, loving it!
How to exclude files when using ls
Had a directory with > 150 *.properties-files and needed to check if there where any files not ending with .properties. ls lists all the files, combine it with grep and you are saved.
# See all files ending in .html
ls | grep “\.html$”
# see all files not ending in .html
ls | grep -v “\.html$”

Cycling season 2010 has started for real
Last Wednesday was my first bike ride not going to work. With my single speed bike I headed for Vestreng in +2, rain and occasionally strong headwinds. And when average speed is limited to about 20 km/h I was quite cold after 48 km. Got to shorter rides as well on Thursday and Friday, but with small changes in the weather it was not pleasant at all.
Yesterday I mounted my Thule rack, together with the summer tires, so now the car is ready for yet another cycling season.
Yesterday evening I mounted brand new SPD pedals (the old ones are on my commuter bike) and a new Selle Italia SLR bike saddle. Needed a new saddle since the old one soaked up water if it was raining hard, reason – to soft, who needs a soft saddle?
And today Espen and I enjoyed the nice weather and was out together for about two hours. Had a nice ride to Lillestrøm, via Skedsmokorset, Hellerudsletta and back home. Here we have a short brake nearby Hellerudsletta.
Summer tyres in winter
Yesterday I had planned to change to summer tyres, but did not find the time, but Lars Tormod did. Woke up this morning as saw this out of the kitchen window. Must admit this is one day I’m quite happy I was lazy the day before. Guess Volvo-driving is not the best thing to do today 🙂
Found a video on Youtube showing why not to use summer tyres on snow
[video:youtube:rFODBAr5q7M]Band of Brothers – tv mini-series
Finally finished all ten episodes of Band of Brothers and what a serie. A monumental documentation of Easy Company and their struggles from the D-Day until the end of WW2. Really enjoy how you get to know each one of the men, each episode have short interviews of men from Easy before it starts. Must also say that the last episode with the ending with one of them telling a story about a grandson asking grandpa if he was a hero in the war. “No, but I fought with a company of heroes!”. One of them being Major Dick Winters for sure!
A must see, again and again – like Generation Kill, another great HBO series. Also exited about the new series The Pacific, wondering if it will be as good as Band of Brothers and Generation Kill.
Renovation of my bike
My commuter bike broke down about two weeks ago, so I bought a new chain. But, new chain and worn out sprockets are not a good combination. So after advice from Espen I decided to buy the Single Speed Conversion Kit. In that way I will reduce the need for maintenance and hopefully over time reduced cost as well 🙂 Tomorrow I have planned to try it out, hopefully doing 50 kilometers or so.
In addition to the kit I had to buy a new dropout since the internal threads in the old one was long gone. I also had to buy a new KMC 8 chain. The old one was a 9’er, and worn out in just a week because of the old sprockets, but normally you need no more than the kit to convert your bike.
Sexy driveline?
Notice that I use the tension seeker downwards, not upwards. It is recommended to use it upwards, but since I could not cut the KMC-chain just one link, but needed to cut two it would get to tight. Therefore downwards.
A Serious Man
We saw “A Serious Man” this evening at home on DVD. Yet another movie by the Cohen brothers. Given very good reviews we hoped for a good laugh…but…neither mine or Elins cup of tea so to speak.
Rblog – 10 years anniversary
Just realized that my blog has been up and running now for ten years! Pretty hardcore or what?? March 2003 is until now my most active month, back then I posted 62 posts in a month, all in Norwegian then.
If summer comes in a hurry
If summer comes in a hurry, one of my neighbors are well prepared if the lawn should grow to fast to soon. He has left the lawn mover out on the lawn the whole winter. Me and Anders was out this morning when I spotted it. Not to be all to pessimistic, but I would be surprised if it starts on the first try.
