Time wasted battling poorly configured software and networks

Posted by Edward on February 17th, 2008

This weekend I went out to visit my parents and siblings on the farm. My first encounter was with a nine week old Cocker Spaniel pup so I was off to a good start. It’s always great to come out to the farm and wind down with some country life and the company of animals. […]

A switched of brain …

Posted by Edward on January 24th, 2008

… often lead to unwanted experiences. Currently I have to take the Stockholm undergrounds blue line north out of Stockholm in order to get to my customer. This line forks of into two different directions a few stations before my station. As it is I should only take trains that go towards Akalla, never those […]

The first 30-day trial

Posted by Edward on January 22nd, 2008

I boldly stole the concept from my friend Mika and his blog Mind Matters. The concept is to challenge one self into changing a bad habit or trying a new habit for a while.
As it is I don’t take particularly good care of myself. I eat too much, I exercise too little, I don’t sleep […]

I saw some snow this winter

Posted by Edward on January 21st, 2008

Well, there hasn’t been very much winter in Sweden this winter. Luckily for me my old job, or rather a bunch of enthusiast at my old job, planned our annual ski trip to the north and I hadn’t been spurned for changing my allegiance. This years trip went to Norway, specifically to Trysil where they […]

A really bad day for shopping

Posted by Edward on December 4th, 2007

Good thing I’m writing this today and not yesterday when I was out shopping, or at least trying to shop, or a lot of very very bad words would have been published on the Internet by yours truly.
I have previously tried to buy furniture for my kitchen at IKEA in Kungens Kurva but they where […]

Status of RAUBitB¹

Posted by Edward on November 22nd, 2007

Since I have sold my bookcases, and most other furniture, in conjunction with this move from Linköping to Stockholm all my books live in cardboard boxes (as do most other things as well). This limits my access to the books some what at the moment. Add to this that the ride to work takes 10-15 […]

How large is the interior of a compact car?

Posted by Edward on November 21st, 2007

Sometimes I am truly amazed by human stupidity, or rather lack of reasoning. Recently I sold some stuff on Tradera which is a Swedish branch of Ebay. Among the items sold where bookcases in various sizes. Today one of the buyers, or rather the buyers boyfriend, came by to pay for it and pick it […]

Disk Crash Bonanza

Posted by Edward on November 6th, 2007

What ever you do don’t let me near any of your critical systems. I break things just by being. In fact I don’t even need to be present as crash number 2 will show.
Crash 1: As I and my brother and some friends eat dinner the computer hick-ups and reboots. As I walk over I […]

New job, new town, new flat

Posted by Edward on October 18th, 2007

So tomorrow is the last day of the first week at my new job. Oddly enough I started work on tuesday, not on monday. At Connecta monday is the big day for internal meetings so noone would have been available to greet newcomers.
So far it has been quite dull which is to be expected; new […]

Nothingness

Posted by Edward on October 7th, 2007

The four weeks of lovely nothingness from the vacation seems to have permeated this blog. Actually quite a lot has happened and I have tons of stuff to write about. It’s just that I haven’t hade the time or will to sit down and write a blog entry. I’ll do better in the future.
Things to […]
