Shopping spree madness!

H

ome improvement mania! This is our new fan... bought at jula at a fairly reduced price. A good thing is that it will keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter time. I was initially very disappointed by the grayish color, it seemed much lighter on the website. False marketing!


Small park-bench for the girls... bought at Bauhaus. We got this bench to match it to the big one. It gets oohs and aaahs from people.

Park-bench for the big people... Between this and the colour of the building we are well on our way to creating our own little theme-park.


And of course a mambo-broom to take care of business... from Rusta. We spent a lot of money on this stuff. If you think that the broom is a bit conspicuous you're right. But it is nothing compared to the zebra patterned one with the red brush.

The right kind of broom is pivotal in keeping the balcony clean. And having it look this good is just an added boon ;^)

Silver shoes

elicias new shoes! She is seriously proud of them and they were a part of a three for one (at skopunkten) offer costing totally less than 500 swedish crowns!

46 395:- phone bill

ave you ever had one of those days?.. That just seem surreal. A couple of days ago I recieved this slightly upsetting electronic invoice from my GSM-provider.

I have an unlimited data-plan called "fri surf" (free surf ed. trans) and apparently some software on my providers side have failed to put two and two together.

I'm waiting for an sms-reply as to what actually went wrong but the support staff solved the problem on the spot. So it's only a hypothetical problem now :^)

If you ever wondered how expensive it would be to use a cellular phone as your primary internet device at the standard rate of 15 SEK/MB... well now you know! Quite a contrast from the 100 SEK fee for "fri surf"!

Yeah!

Keep on rockin' in the big shoes

Julia

newborn

I

n December of 2006 the newest addition to our family was born. Julia came into the world in the normal fashion. Before 19:00, swedish time, it was all over.

Right now she's harrasing her mother every other hour to revel in milk... She is gaining in weight.

Tragedy!

Darkness prevails. My shrimp is dead.

At about 20:00 Swedish time my dear shrimp passed away :-( During a purging of snails from the aquarium, the shrimp met with a sudden and violent death when a enormous humanoid foot brutally invaded its personal space.

Somehow the shrimp had managed to get out of the aquarium and, through some incredible efforts of gargantuan proportions, had crawled one meter into the living-room - where it met its unfortunate fate.

After a brief goodbye-ceremony the remainders of the dear pet was lovingly wrapped in toilet paper and respectfully flushed down the toilet.

(Som vanligt är det inte den faktiska räkan på bilden som har dött.)

Or not...

Didn't work out.

The excursion to the land of the living didn't work out. My financial funding backed out. And I'm back on the job.Now I'm forced to live vicariously through this website and by reading tech news

Avancez!

To the breach once more?

It has been a while since my last posting - the main reason for this is the fact that I don't have any readers... A natural consequence of not putting anything useful on the web ;-)

Lately I have been busy with what is called a "Tekniskt Basår" ( lit. Technical base-year) at Chalmers University of Technology. In a way have partly accomplished one of the goals set for myself in my cv. But I still have a long, long way to go, though!

System Log - star date...

This is my personal system-log. In this file a have tried to incorporate everything that has ever been a problem on my systems and and the manner in which I solved the problems.

This information is primarily here so that I can access it myself but, of course, anyone who finds it useful is welcome to use it. Keep in mind that unless you are running some variant of Linux this will probably not help you very much.
