So I’m sick, I have a cold. High as a kite on painkillers, but that’s not the funny partI got a call from the news-desk at NRK (NRK is the norwegian broadcasting network) asking me for a status on the rail-traffic between Oslo and Bergen.So…yeah. This is all true.

Phase 1 complete
I just had my last exam for this semester, and the grades are great. I look forward to wasted spare time now.
Late night programming
There’s a time and a place for programming, this aint one of them. God am I’m unfocused. The beer ain’t helping
The good ol phones
About a year ago I retired my trusty Sony Ericsson K700i for a phone I got from work. Today, I needed to get a file from it. So I just turned the thing on, it just started. After a year without beeing used, it works fine without beeing charge. How cool is that? Things were better in the olden days
I did something fun at school today. We were talking about genetics and inherited properties from parents. The teacher said; So, if both parents have blue eyes, and the child has brown, where did he get that genetic property. I shouted; THE POSTMAN. The whole classroom burst out laughing, and my teacher had problems for five minutes.Funny, awsome and able to laugh at people fucking the postman. I have it all.
Lolcats
I can’t belive I’m saying this, but lolcats are fucking hilarious! Willy introduced it to me for about, half a year ago, and I thought it was kinda stupid. Now, I think they are funny. You won this round willy.

The great white shark
Evolution is great! The great white shark has not evolved for ages, I have. Chrizmo is taking it to next level and kicking it up a notch.
BAM!
Windows Live Messenger
Last week I got forced to update MSN messenger to Windows Live Messenger. I got pissed, tried to find a third party substitute and fucked up my contact list. You win this round MicrosoftOne thing about the MSN Messenger service in general, is that the addon Messenger Plus is a must. I’ve been using this for years now, and the upgrades they made for this version is all for the better. For a full list of features, please consult my ass (or their site)A cool thing with the addon, is scripting. You can install or make scripts to do some cool things. A cool script is Music Now Playing. This software works with every major musicplayer, and can do some really neat stuff. For one thing, if you use iTunes and love album art, you can make the script pick up the songs as avatars. It’s a security risk though, because it gets the pictures of the web, so it sends your songinfo over the net. But all in all a cool feature.
Disclaimer: Since I found the security error, I removed Music Now playing, but still a cool addon if you’re not paranoid
Apple Support recived
Got my Nike+ Kit now. Took a while, put I got it. Now I just need to send the old one back. We’re almost there people.The system works, kudos to Apple.
Second week of school
So here’s the deal; today marks the start of my second week at school. I went back to school to take som classes, giving me the foundation to get a bachelor or master. The school system in Norway is pretty fucked, so i finished school, but have to take up some classes to be able to study. Here I am.This means, that I have less free time than before. I work full-time, then do night classes four days a week. I think my internet activity will be lower than earlier, but I have been wrong before.On the up-note though, I’m now a class one pyrotechnician. It was a hard weekend, but I can buy explosives now.
Testing the Apple warrenty
I love my Nike + kit, It’s the best invention ever! I can track my running progress, AND listen to music. I can even combine the two. It’s accurate, stylish and freaking great.
But alas, the sensor stopped talking to the reciver a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been trying to make them work ever since, but to no result. So today, I registered the product at Apple Customer Service, and they’re sending me a new one, free of charge. Off course, I need to send the defective one back, but I was ready to throw the bastard away and buy a new one. I’ve lost like 5 runs from my Nike + stats, since the thing stopped working too. That pisses me off, because it’s about 30 KM I’ll never get back. I hate when technology fucks the statistics
