Babysitting.

MindTooth — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 12:25:43 +0000

This weekend I am at my sisters place and babysitting my two nephews. Mixed feelings since they both have some problems understanding my orders. Maybe they are just kids, and I should give them some slack.

Got ill.

Been sick for one day now. My head hurts, and my nose is dripping.

Wish me better

The next phase.

MindTooth — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:08:03 +0000

I consider that I have made it to the next phase. Currently I have my own place to stay, within one week I will start in a real job (apprenticeship). And I have the past few days been busy trying to setup a website for my current employer.

Apartment

Late june I got hold of my own place. This is large due to my employer that knew the owner from previous relations. And at the time, she had just kicked out the person who lived before me.

I hope to share some photos at a later date, but atm. I don’t have a camera. However, a short brief is well served. The flat has a kitchen that in a way is sharing the space with the living room, the only thing that seperate them is a wall half cross the room. A bedroom with the path to the bathroom. So if I were to have any visitors, they would need to cross my bedroom to take a leak, or worse… The badroom is experience a bad mould day. The mold between the tiles has somehow becoming black, and infested.

Overall, I must admit I love my new place. And the owner is open for some renovation. Consider the state, she better be

Apprenticeship

After some time spent on nothing but BS, my boss got in contact with the local high-school. Where they were looking for students to fill a apprenticeship. Actually, there were looking for three, and had only one applier.

I sent a application earlier this summer, but somehow they required that I send a new one, and meet for an interview. Find it strange, that they never informed me about the reqs earlier, rather then just right before. The school has allready started, but no progress has been made so far.

Employer’s website

This is currently under development, so rather then a progress report. You can just have a look here.

Final thoughs

Can’t say anything other then that my life, at its present is worth living. Something I might refuse to say in the past. And I hope that I can start update this blog more often.

Stay tuned…

Two weeks in Oslo…

MindTooth — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 22:47:19 +0000

After my first week in Oslo, I can only admit that I really like the place. A more urban place then Fåvang, and all the small minded people living nearby. Oslo has a large population. Not the kind I am used to from Lillehammer, but in a positive mather. Since when the number of people increases, the more you walk around unnoticed. You can be more yourself, and not thinker about what the next one would think of you.

Figured out the future…

I have decided to move to a near town from where I live now. The place is called Vinstra, and is the place where I work. Starting this september, I will start on a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) sertificate. This is with Windows Server 2008, instead of the old Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE). My current plan is to live there for just one year, and the move on. Meanwhile this period I will take regular trips to Oslo to get a more refined view on the world, rather to get closed back in Vinstra.

A different world…

After some more details from the police. It came to my knowledge, that I were conned by a female from Iraq. A chance in million years that it was even possible. I were not given all the info., but it seemed like she did not have a norwegian greencard. And there had been some previous cases regarding the police. The husbands I mentioned earlier was not even a part of the con. I learned it the hard way, never pay up front.

The MacBook Pro deal was a scam!

MindTooth — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:09:56 +0000

After some investigation today, I found out that the whole deal about a cheap MacBook Pro 17″ for under $2000 was just some scam pulled by a person calling himself Krister Aga. Been in contact with the locale police, but they had no record or whatso ever about a person by the name Krister Aga. I will press charges against him this friday. Will keep you posted!

A great weekend.

Me and a friend of mine, spent the weekend on a nearby cabin. I brough his Dell M1710 and I my external harddrive. We watched a couple of movies, some in regular DVD-quality, and some in really nice HD. Since the Dell M1710 is equipped with a WUXGA-screen, capeable to display a awesome resolution of 1920×1200. This made watching Eastern Promises (2007) a dream.

Change to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

MindTooth — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:45:50 +0000

When I read the announcement made by Canonical Ltd. about the new Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I started to think, why not install Ubuntu on the desktop PC, when I get an much faster PC with the incoming MacBook Pro, (atleast I hope it shows up soon enough). Then I can start to temper with GNU/LInux in a more userfriendly enviroment, rather then the slice I am currently hosting this blog from.

Update: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is released for download.

Still waiting…

MindTooth — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:25:46 +0000

The dude selling me the MacBook Pro, has not replyed since yesterday morning. I am starting to get very impatient. If I still has not got any reply tomorrow, I will call him, and ask what took so long.

Next time, I will withhold a larger part of the money before transfer all.
