After a 4 year hibernation, the blog once again show subtle signs of life.
Just wanted to see if this thing still works, and it actually does. A bunch of updates available of course, but they all applied cleanly and the site is now updated to the latest and greatest version of everything! Even updated the ‘about’ page and some broken links, so everything should be as good as new.
Now, hang tight for the next update, it probably wont take more then 3 or 4 years! 🙂
Why do I even bother having a blog, when I obviously dont use it?
I guess its a status thing. Everyone else has one, so I must have one.
Anyway, life goes on. Right now Im just trying to make it ’till the weekend, when my vacation starts. A much needed and well deserved 3 week vacation. Dont have much planned, a few weekends with family and friends but otherwise the schedule is open, like it should be on a vacation. Just spending time with the girlfriend, doing whatever we want. I so need that right now…
Dont know what else to tell ya. Work still sucks, Im still looking for something better to do, the weather is changing on what seems like an hourly basis, I have soccer matches coming up on Sunday and Tuesday, I want coffee but Im to lazy to go get some, and I still suck at blogging. Thats about it.
For a guy that rarely uses his blog, I sure put in a lot of time working on it.
Completely new blogsystem, new design and a shitload of new features. The site is a mix of php, javascript and AJAX technologies, so it might not work perfectly in every browser. Firefox however has no problems with it, and thats all I care about.
Some of the entries from the old blogsystem has been imported, but the comments are gone. To much work to convert them to the new system, I dont think anyone reads them anyway.
Due to public demand, this blog also supports RSS, so now you can subscribe and be notified every time I update, which (judging on past behavior) will not happen often. You can even subscribe to individual entries to be notified when someone leaves a comment on that particular post.
OK, I surrender. I will answer your f-ing questions!
Nobody that reads blogs can have missed the “4 Answers” terror that has hit the internet. Every blogger and their dog has to answer a bunch of stupid questions, and then encourage everyone they know to do the same.
I usually hate this kind of things, but since people seem to be seriously offended when I ignore their chain-letters (yes, for real…offended and really, really pissed) here it is…
Four jobs I’ve had in my life
Network technician (current job)
PA systems (sound and light installations)
Lumberjack (in lack of a better word for it – I used to build timberhouses)
Support technician (yupp, I answered the phone when stupid people called)
Four movies I can watch over and over
Sin City (Its a piece of art)
Starship Troopers (I dont care what people say, this flick RULES!)
LOTR or Starwars (Thats like 11 movies combined, so I let it count as two)
Four places I have lived
Ljusdal (still there, still hate it)
Hamra (I wasnt born there, but it will always be home for me)
Stockholm (Lots of different parts, so I let it count as two)
Four TV shows I love to watch
Friends (Still makes me laugh)

Four places I would rather be right now
Somewhere else (Not answering stupid questions!)
Hamra (Where my sled is)
Stockholm (Drinking with ma’ homies)
Funäsdalen (Where me and my sled should be)
I suck at this blog thing. I really do. I did think I would do better this time, since this is actually my third blog (the first two died after several months of inactivity). Judging by the posting frequency lately, it seems as this will go the same way. But for now, its still here, so I guess a post is due.
Spent the holidays at my parents place. Lots of good food, nice company and snow…which leads to snowmobiling, of course. Im kind of getting used to the performance of my sled now, so I have started looking at some more upgrades. Its a hell of a sled as it is, but I want more. A lot more. The only problem is that I have already spent a fortune on this sled, so there is not much left to do that hasnt already been done. Im trying to stay somewhat realistic, but its just to much damn fun. We’ll see, it just might turn out to be one of those never-ending projects…would be fun to see just how much you can actually get out of a snowmobile!
Other then snowmobiling, I frequented some of the regular hangouts where I grew up. It was nice to see some of my old friends again. I must say, not much has changed during the 10 years since I moved away. Same people, same places, same topics of discussion. Im not saying that its a bad thing, I actually felt right at home, but you would think the people living there would get bored. But they dont. Go figure.
The last few days have been less fun. Im fighting a hell of a cold, and so far, the cold is winning. Fever, sore throath, cough, running nose, you name it I have it. Havent left the appartment all week, with the exception of a brief appearance at work monday morning. I seriously hate being sick, it sucks!
