So other than that I’m REALLY late.. well not a whole lot have happened to be honest, the usual, work…

I’ve also been working a bit on a couple of projects, one is at least enjoyable for most(in a way), a project server hosting a bunch of stuff I’ve made, and this a project to create a proper DNS implementation in C#(most out there are partial or buggy, or both).

I’ve also bought a new phone, a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, which is very good and small.

Lastly, vacation plans, well are ambitious…

Plans are to Bike from where I live to Amsterdam, a trip that is at shortest(according to Google) only is 224KM, which is roughly the route I’m going. I will try my best to do daily updates on that trip, but erm… no guarantees, I’m going to be dead tired

Ps. picture above is taken with my new phone :3

Ice Cream!

So… cryptic title ftw?

Yesterday I joined Gino out near Ahaus and go horse back riding. And in short I thought I’d fail very badly, but luckly not (sorry no picks, Gino forgot to gimme! )

Today I went biking a bit(about 40-ish KM) before dinner, and at the end after grabbing dinner, I had some Ice cream .

When I got home and peeked at the thermometer it showed that today it’s been over 30 degrees Celsius! (no wonder I was swetting :3).

The week have else been pretty slow, nothing fancy happening.. but next week I’ll be going home to norway for a long weekend, so hopefully something more exciting happening, oh and post will probably be on monday from the train :p

ps. technical news: got myself 2 VPS’ in the UK more later when I got time.

Yup, Ubuntu 8.10 came out last night, and OLUG(Oslo Linux User Group) and NUUG(Norwegian Unix User Group) celebrated it, with Ubuntu coke(a new Fair trade coke, which is also first fair trade coke) and pizza, quiz and some nice speaks, mainly about security, but also a bit about new features.

From the little i got to test it, it seemed fine and I might consider suggesting it to people i know now.

Head over to Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu and get your copy (or be lazy and get Wubi).
