Ny vri på kjent eventyr
Maria Tryti Vennerød og Julian Skars spegelvende Snøkvit-musikal er basert på det kjente eventyret til brørne Grimm. Samtidig er denne historia heilt ny; Snøkvit tar eit oppgjer med si eiga mor og med seg sjølv. Ho vil finne ut kven ho er og kva som er hennar sanning.
My latest book "Blodige strender" by Jon Michelet
Finally got to finish “Blodige strender”, book #4 about the war sailor Halvor Skramstad. Started reading it last year, but lost track of where I was, so therefore decided to read it all once more. No problem, a good one this book as well. Now ready for book #5
Weather picture – first frost
Yesterday morning, the wipers wiped away ice from the windshield.
Close one…
Did notice this nail in the tractor tyre here the other day, it was stuck, but luckily it had not pierced the tyre all the way.
Frontloading the frontloader
Finally taking my time to mount the frontloader for the old Ford 4000 that has been off for about a year.
How to renew the internal SSL certificates in WebSphere
By mistake I managed to delete the signer certificate stored in the CellDefaultTrustStore yesterday (luckily in test, not in prod). Anyhow, that caused major issues for the whole environment since no servers/nodeagents was able to communicate with the deployment manager.
First time downhill at Hafjell
This weekend Espen and I finally got to spend some quality time together using the xmas-gift from our wifes (https://youwish.no/). Intention was to drive a race car, but we ended up renting downhill bikes at Hafjell. Had a lot of fun, got some air, but not big air. Espen sprained his thumb, other than that no major accidents either. Tired legs, arms hurting, knee also, apart from that, just fun. Some pictures and video as well, filmed by Espen using his GoPro.

Rats – Secret Soundscapes of the City
Finally understood what the sound I did hear on my way to work was: “Rats – Secret Soundscapes of the City”
A stone’s throw from the white-marbled Opera house, and based on the hypothesis that rats serenade one another with love songs, Jana Winderen will record the ultrasonic landscape of Bjørvika and slow the sound down to human hearing levels.

Me, a tennis player!
Yesterday I participated in my first tennis tournament ever. Did spend Saturday evening watching videos on Youtube (for about 10 minutes) on how to play tennis, and just minutes before my first match I had to read the rules, learing that the first serve goes to the left side, then the second to the right. Another good thing I got to know just minutes before the match was which lines was important during a single match. Must admit that I was afraid that I would not even get to serve or get the ball over the net, but I did and I only lost one of three matches without points. The two other ones was 10-3 and 10-5, pretty happy with that. And finally I got to learn that my raquet from 1990 was outdated. Conversation went like this:
Person who knew a lot more about tennis than me: “Rune, are you sure that you do not want to borrow a raquet?”
Me “Do I need to?”
Person who knew a lot more about tennis than me: “Yes!!!”
Me “….mkay…” (I was until yesterday pretty proud of just owning a raquet, but now I know what I want for xmas)
