Together with Atle and the boys we went to Gan and visited Høgås Batteri today. Very nice and easy accessible, just park by the road and an easy walk for 5 minutes.
View over Øyern
And a lot of blueberries as well

Powershell – Bad numeric constant error
First one up this morning, nothing else to do than enjoying myself with a bit of Powershell-scripting. Got stuck for a while, my script did not run due to the error “Bad numeric constant error”. Turned out that I had a variable starting with a number…which apperantly is bad. Removed the number and voila, all fine.
How to show the dbm-number (signal strength) on iPhone
My iPhone 6 seems to be a bit crappy when it comes to do what you expect a phone to do – that is being able to call someone. The most obvious reason seems to be the antenna being…crappy. I wondered if I could be able to see the signal strength as a number, so as always Google to the rescue. The solution which worked for me was found here Numbers instead of signal dots?
- Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.
- You’ll now enter Field Test mode. You’ll notice a signal strength indicator on the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can toggle between signal strength bars and a number by simply taping on it
- At this point, press the home button to exit the app or if you would like the feature to be permanent, continue on. Don’t worry, the process is completely reversible.
- Hold down on the Power button until you see the ‘slide to power off’ bar. Do not power off the device
- Press down on the Home button until the app closes and you return to your home screen.
Note
- You can switch between signal as dots or numbers by double clicking on the indicator
- Note that the number is negative, the closer you are to 0, the better, all explained here at Stackoverflow in full details “What is meaning of negative dbm in signal strength.“
Travelling alone – pitstop in the mustache capital
Travelling alone by train to Mosjøen today, going to pick up my two oldest boys, they have been on vacation for almost a week now. Pitstop in Trondheim, the mustache capital. This time, instead of eating at Burger King I went for Indian food, strong off course. And to drink I picked the most expensive beer I’ve ever tasted (as I remember), 0,6 l for 129,- NOK, but…it was good!
Kick- and motorbike
Had my motorbike for service a while ago, and to get from the dealer to work I brought my kickbike as well. Seemed a bit strange at first maybe…
Preparing the pasture
This week I have been preparing pasture for our neighbors horses. My dad has helped me out (together with my neighbor and my brother). We have prepared the electrical fence and also did some forest tending using the pasture chopper (?).
Weed tending
A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place, but intends to stay. — Sara Stein.
Weed tending a couple of weeks ago, removing a lot of dooryard docks and spear thistles. When having the proper gloves it is quite easy to get rid of the thistles, just pulling them straight up.
And note, weed as in Norwegian “ugress”, not weed as in weed meaning cannabis 🙂
Walking through the rye field
The boys where our walking through the rye here the other day. Following the tracks from the tractor they totally disappeared since the rye is so high, only showing the landing net carried by Iver.
Ant workout
An ant working out just outside of our house here the other day.
Plenty of firewood
My father in-law had finally managed to cut all the firewood, so then I picked up the rest. I did force the last load on Espen, since we do actually have …enough…
