rblog – Connecting people once again

My blog has once again connected people like it has two times before, only this time I was a part in it. Thomas from Switzerland was trying to get hold of a copy of the soundtrack from Izzat, but he realized that it was not as easy as he had hoped for. No one of the online music stores who had Izzat did not deliver outside of the Nordic countries. Instead, I ordered it for him together with a copy of Gluecifer – Kings of Rock, Best of and Rarities. Instead of money in return for the job I wrote to Thomas that he should in return send me some music from Switzerland, and so he did. He sent me The Monsters “I see dead people” and also an ep of his own band The Strapones http://thestrapones.com/. Cool music, both bands reminds me of the Norwegian band The Mormones

No one can claim that blogging is a waste of time! 🙂

Spring work

Espen and I went out to Vestreng today to unmount the ski boxes from our cars. I had also planned to change to summer tyres, but sadly I had to admit that they where totally stuck. Due to corrosion the wheel is stuck to the car axle. If the jack had been more stable I could have applied more pressure, but since its not I will take the car to the garage and get the tires changed there. And next winter use the proper amount of grease on the wheel to avoid this problem.

Can you guess what this is?

Can you guess what this is? Answer below the picture

Most people would say a remote control for the Get decoder “Get Box“. But that is close, but no sigar. Because it used to be a remote control, but now after my soon to be 1 year old son Anders has played with it, it has turned into something made out of plastic, with room for two AAA-batteries and with buttons in various colours. It is completely dead, and we now get pretty much exercise when we want to switch channels. Not much use of it now either, it weigh not enough to be used as a bookend, I’m all out of ideas.

Nothing but the Net

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.

It has happened again

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…”
