SUMMER 2010: WALES
Jul 20th
The past few days, I’ve been with Tom in Moss, a small village near Wrexham in Wales. We’ve planned the upcoming South Africa trip, played with ther puppy dog Rosie and played some golf. It’s been great.
We also paid Chester a visit, one of the oldest Roman cities in Great Britain. We got to see some sights and I bought myself some proper golfing clothes (trousers and polos) so that I will be allowed entrance in South Africa. Tomorrow we leave for London and the day after tomorrow, the trip to South Africa will finally begin!
Below you see a couple of shots taken with my phone (and the very cool Hipstamatic app).

MEMORIES

… from better times. I’m utterly sick and tired of writing, polishing and rewriting on my thesis.

TWO WEEKS, LOTS HAS HAPPENED
Jan 30th
Long time no see! I’ve been busy, away, busy again, working etc. etc. Now however, I’m back again and have some time to kill.
First of all, I managed to hand in my project report January 15th. It felt good and I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Just a few hours later, I left for Austria to snowboard.
The week in Austria was really exciting, and the 13 of us going had a great time. No injuries! The Gastein valley was great, with plenty of resorts to visit. If I were to complain, I would have loved 30-50 more centimeters of snow. We had, nonetheless, a great week with loads and loads of snowboarding, on- and offpist!
15 minutes walking for 6 great turns in Sportgastein. Worth it!
When I got home, I started to work on my master thesis, but spending night time finishing my home theater PC (HTPC) project “Radionette Menuett”. It’s practically ready, more in a later post.
One issue with the HTPC was that our old TV doesn’t work with any output from the PC. I therefore decided to invest in a new TV. After a quick lookaround I ended up with a 37″ Samsung LCD-TV (LE37B535). It’ll be exciting to see how the HD world looks and feels.
PS. Andreas, one of my flatmates won a Playstation 3 the other day, the timing couldn’t be better!
NEW YEAR’S AT KJERRINGØY
Jan 4th
I’m back in Trondheim!
Christmas holidays have been great with my family, good food and time to play guitar, some piano, reading books and playing Fifa with my younger sister. I got several great books for Christmas, a new duve and Trivial Pursuit :)
New year’s was celebrated on Kjerringøy near Bodø in relation with my uncle’s 50th birthday. We stayed at the old minister’s house and it was great, though without water for three of the four days due to ice blocking the water supply. The scenery on and around Kjerringøy was truly mind blowing, it’s easy to understand why tourists love the northern parts of Norway!
As I said, I’m back in Trondheim, now eager to finish my project report!
GOING TO COPENHAGEN
Nov 5th
Mustache Weekend 2008
I’m off to a weekend trip to Copenhagen. Many of my good friends from my Erasmus stay in Toulouse are coming too.
It’s reunion time!
I know it’s going to be great, we’re going to have such a great time together - talking about the present and walking down memory lane! Excited!
