Today I have taken the swine flue vaccine. My employer, Telenor, provided for all the staff the possibility to take it while at work. So, then no excuse not to take it, so now all three of us are covered at home.

Rational Automation Framework
Have spent some time the last week teaching myself the basics of Rational Automation Framework (RAFW) together with WebSphere Application Server 7. The RAFW-version I’m using is just an old beta, so it misses some features and have some bugs which the current release 7.1.1.2 have taken care of.
[teaserbreak]
WAS 7 have a new feature which enables you to provide a custom name BASE application servers. Not the most important feature, but using a more meaningful name than the default “server1” can be useful. But the beta-version of RAFW did not have this feature, so at first I thought “close, but no sigar” until Scott Bybee at Ascendant encouraged me to try to create a custom action providing this feature. Spent two days figuring this out until I was able to create a custom action providing this feature. It was really all about understanding the ANT-scripts RAFW is using, when that was taken care of it was really just a walk in the park to adjust the action into providing the custom name feature.
This was not a big issue, but the main purpose of doing this was understanding how to create a custom action in RAFW, which might be useful for other more critical features or needs which out-of-the-box RAFW does not provide.
Beer tasting at Akersberget
Yesterday I was invited to Akersberget Restaurant for a combined dinner and Christmas beer tasting. The beer tasting was arranged by Ølakademiet. Off course great fun, but also interesting to learn some facts about beer other than just “This is pilsner, and this is ale”. Akersberget also has its charm, you can touch the mountain when inside. Good food and good beer, good evening!

– iPhone-brukere elsker og tilber mobilen sin, skriver Strand, og legger til: – iPhone er omkranset av et antall folk, medier og selskaper som gladelig tøyer sannheten for å forsvare produktet de har kjøpt fra Apple.

Naked in front of the computer
Pretty girls can be naked in front of the computer without people harassing them, but when I once played Quake for some hours naked in front of the computer I was accused for various things. Female geek shown here http://www.itavisen.no/830521/modell-spiller-wow-naken
Or you can spend time listening to Faith No More playing “Naked in front of the computer”
