I just love hidden features in all applications and usually search out all features whenever I’m playing a game.

 So I found this list on Bluesnews that lists 101 eastereggs in different applications and OS’s

Ahmagad, I’ve just been watching a few great videos on youtube, brings back memories from my childhood as an eager gaming beaver

I almost started playing the Monkey Island series again, however I’m too busy with Assassins Creed atm

Just had to share this videoclip with anyone reading this blog

This is my alltime favorite movie scene (even though I haven’t even seen the movie) just because of Mr Walken, the song and the setting!

Well, I’m back for more updates!

I just bought a new car (well my old one is basically falling apart) and I’m currently just waiting for the handover, if you wanna take a look at it be my guest

Also I stopped smoking last week (sunday to be pricise) and I still haven’t smoked one cigarette!

Nothing new otherwise, just trying to go more and more solo at work, and also get more and more overtime

Well, I guess it’s time for a short update.

I’ve finally found out what I’m gonna work with (well it’s almost decided) at HP, I’m gonna work with highend Integrity servers and highend tapestorage, which is very good since I have never worked with any of the platforms before, so I hope to learn lots of new stuff

Otherwise I’ve been home for 4 days in Tromsø to celebrate christmas with my parents and siblings, it was nice, and I ate lots of good norwegian christmasfood

However I was disapointed that there was so little snow this year, we only had like 5cm (2″) while we usually have 2-3 meters (6-9 feet)

I’ve also been working on installing a new services on my servers, a music streaming frontend called “Subsonic” that allows you to index mp3files and make playlists via a web frontend and download the playlist, great for work!

I tried installing it on linux first, but I _HATE_ debugging javaerrors in linux so I gave up after a few hours and installed it on a windows server instead.

Otherwise nothing much new, gonna buy a new car in january, just have to figure out what car, I have set my budget to 250-300.000NOK (31-38.000€ | 46-56.000$).

Well, I finally moved back to Norway (not that Ireland was so bad, just the country).

I’m currently staying in Tromsø until the 10th of November where I will be assisting in an installation for work (I’ve only started in the job today and will already have my first installation from Saturday)

Nothing much to do here atm, just watching TV and relaxing waiting for the work to start, however I did find a beautiful bottle of Laphfroig 10 year old at the airport (recommended by vidarlo) and I just have to say I _LOVE_ this whisky, the Irish ones don’t even come close.

Well, I’ve just been to Norway for 2 weeks (most of it in Narvik, where we have been putting toghether the NaITparty).

It has been two interesting weeks, and I even managed to get sick over the course of this trip (well, mainly because I was in a dry and cold soccerhall for 1.5 weeks), and I’ve even seen some snow (yes we get snow here early!).

At the moment I’m sitting in the airport at Oslo surfing some wireless connection and being bored (I was even so bored that I downloaded and installed a MSN and SSH client on my phone :D)

Well, that’s it for now, I will be in Dublin in a few hours and will only stay there until next weekend, THEN finally I move to Oslo for my new job \o/

Well, I finally decided on what job to take, I’ve been working back and forth with a partner and HP to try and find a job that I would feel comfortable with.

The offers were great from both sides but I finally decided to go with HP Norway’s offer as a technical consultant.
It will be a quite interesting job with solution planning and implementing, the pay is great and the possibilities are almost endless.

This’ll be a quite interesting winter as I might be starting as early as 1st of November

Well, I’m getting my gallery up and running now aswell, I have already posted some pictures there (lots of lulz) and I also have posted some recordings of my new Guitar\Pedal set.

Enjoy!

Well today I got a phonecall from the second job I have applied to, so now I have two job offers (it seems) that I will get interviewed on.
One job this week and one job next week, but the question is what to choose? I will probably have to do some cross examination of the benefits of each job when I know what they are all about…
