Med mandat til å drepe – Kagge Forlag

Books

What a waste of money. This book edited by Kagge Forlag, but no actual writer of the book is known. It is supposed to be a compilation of stories from various Norwegian snipers in Afghanistan, but – give me a month of research and I could have written the exact same thing myself. So who really knows, is the book real or just pure fiction? At least it could have had a foreword of some known person giving the book at least a small amount of credibility. Spend your money on better books is my advice.

I would instead recommend Elitesoldat, at least the writers of the book is known by name.

Paternity leave done

Work/Geek

First day at work after ten weeks of paternity leave. Promised myself “No more cakes, waffles and such”. But since my boss instructed me to follow the rest of my department I had no other option than to follow and do my duty! “Vaffelsmell”

Terrengsykkelrittet 2011 – Nice day on the bike with muscle cramps

Sport

Terrengsykkelrittet 2011, a tough day on the bike which reminded me that as always I should have prepared better. Got muscle cramps in both thighs at the same time after about 3 hours I think, not good and a wake up call when it comes to preparations. Drink enough the days before and also plan the eating.

Accurate time not available right now, but a few minutes faster than last year, but just a few minutes indicates that I had a better ride yesterday. They have fixed the track, made bridges on many “no-rides” and it has also been very good weather the past few weeks drying up the track. The overall winner time was 2:45 this year, ten minutes faster than last year. So if I had been as good as last year I should have spent 4:15/4:20…

But – a good day

Råskinnet 2011 – First time running in 5 and a half year

Sport

Participated in Råskinnet yesterday together with Espen and Anders and more than thousand others. Must admit that I have not done any special preparations up front, have not been doing any competitions where I have to run since August 2005. Back then I got serious pain in both of my legs, making me unable to do any running for years. But to support my friend Anders I registered for this year. And good to know, not any pain in my legs today, the day after, so now hoping that I could start to do at least some running in the future.

A fun fact from 2005 – check my time for the last lap, I was fastest, did not know until now 🙂

Skat – yet another luxury yacht

Anything but the other

Had to stop and take a picture of this yacht when going to work this morning. The yacht is the 64th-largest in the world with a length of 71 meters, read more about it at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skat_%28yacht%29

Go open source, down with Micro$oft, when all the bosses can afford such yachts, no wonder Window$ costs a lot
