What’s this? A new homepage design once more? No, this is actually only a theme celebrating halloween. I’m planning on making other themes for other special days and holidays as well. Which ones? To find out which ones you just have to stick around and see what happens.I’m also very frustrated with all this solar activity these last few days. The solar winds have sparked beautiful northern lights, and of course the sky must be completely overcast as that happens. I’m not less frustrated by the auroras teasing me through the clouds by shining so bright I can see there’s some heavy activity going on but just not able to see it.

Added a new feature to my homepage today, although not a very big one. If you haven’t noticed yet, it’s the footer at the bottom. I have moved the contact information from the "me" pages and the copyright information down to this footer. This footer will probably see some more changes in the near future, but at least it’s there now. After only almost 5 months on my homepage todo-list.On another note; I had an MR scan performed on my knee last week and got the pictures in the mail today. I looked at them and couldn’t find anything wrong. I hope the doctor finds something though so that my bad knee can be fixed. Stay tuned for scans of my scans.

Monday, I was a little bored at work and suddenly there was an interesting competition on the radio. They translate an English song to Norwegian and present it like a poem, and it’s up to the listener to figure out which song it is. I found out it was "I wanna be the only one" by Eternal, and rang in, and actually got through and was put on the air. I then got the message that I had won… A wine cooler worth 10.000,- Norwegian kroner (about $1400)! Here’s a picture of it. I don’t know who the character in the picture is, since it’s a promo picture I received from the radio station.The refrigerator sized cooler arrived by truck today (unfortunately without any contents) […] Read more

In Norway the car insurance is based alot around how far you drive over the course of a year. These last two years I’ve had my car, I’ve paid to drive 16.000km a year, but have actually only driven 10.000km. This made me call my insurance company to make me pay for 10k a year instead of 16k, to get cheaper rates (and not giving the company more money than they deserve, of course). Suddenly the nice lady at the other end of the line wanted my bank account number, since this had a two year retrospective effect. They were actually going to pay me back the money I had overpaid. So I expected to get about 1.500-2.000 norwegian kroner, based around that my annual […] Read more
