I just sat down at the reception to cover for our receptionist, when I opened Norwegian "news" site Nettavisen and came across this little gem: The article’s title is: Are you dreaming about "The Good Life"? and is a superficial take on a survey published in Science magazine about our lives (more in English here) […]

If you have to use Windows, use Windows 7
I know there are still missing drivers and legacy issues, but it’s about time to fold the old operating system and head towards the future. Whether it’s GNU/Linux or Windows, I think it’s time to pave the way for 64-bit. Yes, I know the HIMEM kernel options and Physical Address Extension (PAE) but 64-bit will […]

Happy New Year!
Just stopping by to wish you all the best for Year 2011: The Year I try to stay in touch! I think the best way to break down this X-mas is to say that it’s been pretty crowded. For better or worse, we brought mine and Lady C’s family together in our (99.8%) finished apartment. […]
