New Holmenkollen, Stock by me

So well, I’ll be moving to Germany now can’t wait, 2 weeks and I’ll be on a plane O_O

I’m SO EXCITED!

Will move to Münster, so if you are around there, say hi! ._. always nice to know people where you are going

Only thing I’m thinking about is how to get my computers with me ._. Will figure that out some way though

also received a letter from the army, have to go in a year, to the air force it’s like Christmas, twice in a day

<- oh and the new holmenkollen is in place and Lit, Anette Sagen got the honourable first jump (klikky image for larger version )

Per request, Norwegian translation:

Så da er det offisielt, jeg ender med å flytte til Tyskland , kanke vente! 2 uker så sitter jeg på flyet

GLEDER MEG SÅÅ MYE!

Kommer til å flytte til Münster, så hvis du er der, si hei! alltid fint å kjenne folk der du drar

Eneste jeg tenker på er hvordan jeg skal få med meg pcene, finner nok ut av det da

også fikk jeg inkalling til militæret, nærmere bestemt luftforsvaret! er som å ha julaften to ganger på en dag

oh. også er nye holmenkollen på plass med lyst, Anette Sagen fikk det ærefulle første hoppet.(klikk bildet for større versjon)

The fireworks in Oslo

So whats up, well, 2010 hit…

I’ve opened my own gallery local at the site with a bit more low-res pictures(high-res isn’t exactly always a good thing lol)

and I took a lot of pictures, click the picture on the left to visit the gallery the pictures will be available at dA as well in maximum res of course under the usual CC-by-nc-sa license.

Other than that, I want to give a little heads up about a nice webmaster forum, you might’ve seen me talk about it before.

Loving Tech, A lot have happened the past year here, It started almost a year ago(21st jan 09), and have grown to just about 1700 memebers, have over30 000 posts(!) and have some very dedicated members with lots of knowledge on all kinds of topics. I suggest you check it out and join in on the discussion.

In tech some nice things happened, Windows 7 was released, and made a grand entering(at least in my opinion) and proved that the vista move wasn’t that stupid. Other than that Apple came with the 3gs, and the iPod touch 3g, both with much faster and better hardware, which might be a good thing, we’ll see. There’s also been some leaks, most have probably heard about this already, Google is having their own phone that isn’t tied to any particular carrier in the us, which at least to my foreign head is a good thing(we’re used to it being like that )

On the coding side, I’ve learned perl, I’ve started(and quit) learning LISP, and are learning IO. I’ve coded a few thousand lines, mostly in C++ concerning hacking on Emerald, but also done about 5 000 lines in perl for my radio project which is shaping up on the back-end finally.

On my blogging I’ve been a bit too lazy though, I got 6 drafts which I’ve been writing some on, but I don’t have enough time to complete them, so as a product they might never be done, but I’ll try to complete them during 2010.

On the photo side, I’ve passed 10 000 pictures(!) on the pentax, the lucky picture was this:

Picture 10 000!

Take care and happy new year, and I hope you all will continue to enjoy my posts here

Title said it all
Now a few updates on whats up.

a few months ago I posted some twitter bookmarklets for ipod and iPhone, and Sorry to say, but they won’t get any updates any time soon Just don’t have time for it when I work on my new profile portal thorerik.com and the sudden shutdown of my old host(and then return to the old backup host, which is outdated ).

Also posted a youtube video a while back where I explained a idea I had, basically being a more secure version of for example what wordpress is.
The concept code is continusly developing, and I’ll probably open up the source either this month or some time during April (might work on it during the Gathering 8th-12th April, drop by if you’re there, seat 1 @ row 31 )

btw, just quickly back to the project over at thorerik.com, that might(!) also be open sourced, We’ll see

still trying to be active on twitter, mostly end up reading tweets(with over 200 followers and following over 300 there’s a lot of tweets O_O)

also on the plans is to create more tests of apps for iPod/iPhone, as I use that all the time, and think there is way too few tests of actual apps(many write very subjective reviews, I try to be some what objective when I review things )

one review that is also coming up is Safari 4, and Firefox 3.1(now renamed 3.5 according to some news sites), and not to forget final version of IE 8, the beta’s have been very impressive(considering IE7 was terrible).

Also trying to get listed on a norwegian blog listing called Blogglisten.no, and hopefully going to get some more traffic If that happens, more posts will come, and they will be WAY more frequent as a treat to all of you regulars

Last but not least, I will begin to vlog too, as It’s a bit easier, and it’s a bit more lazy :p

Again, thanks to all of you who visit regularly :) <3 you

Added tons of features now

Gravatars, OpenID, fancy stuff for me(admin panel stuff that is )

so blogging will be more fun, and i might just update more often
