This was one of my favorite TV-programs when i was a kid. It quite sad when you think about the quality, but the character has become somewhat a legend in Sweden. And here you can find all the episodes http://www.tv5.org/TV5Site/la_linea/

Got the tip from my father, which is a first, but equally fun.

A friend of mine has developed one of those easy, addictive and fun games. http://solidworkspilot.com/ will get you started … and continue … for quite a while.

Also you can challenge your friends in a very provocative way.

I had the great opportunity to play and rehearse under Mr James Watson. He is really a great guy and a great band instructor. We have had a very nice (but exhausting) four days with him and the concert on Friday night went quite alright (the band had some odd moments in Couldcatcher Fells).

Then on the Saturday morning we did a short but very rewarding rehearsal on the great Paganini Variations. The band has really been improving so that also went alright. It is within our reach i would say…

Got a tip of really fun site http://www.expertvillage.com/.

Here there are a lot of experts uploading videos of how to do stuff. So if You wonder how a Sitar is played, how to build a new kitchen or how to throw a American football - here is the place.

A lot of fun is guaranteed.

I couldn’t find anything about the euphonium… yet. Might upload some stuff there if i dare

Today it is really cold in Stockholm, about -10 degrees Celsius. That’s nice i think, for a shorter time. This is what winter is all about.

But today we will also see (i guarantee it) the famous Swedish Coldness-trump. This is an age old game that Swedes have been playing since the thermometer was invented. It is very easy to take part, and just listen people all around you and i promise that you will hear it played;

And if you don’t have the coldest place you always tell the story about “that time when it was REALLY cold… i mean this is not cold in comparison”.

I am sure you understand the rules and objectives of the game by now. :)

Lets start this week with something really impressive and yet … sad.

Look at this and then just for a while try to comprehend how much time that have been put into this act. Just finding the honks (?) in the right key and “composing” the songs must have taken forever…

OK - it is now official. I am in love!

For sometime now i have had some ideas that the Hibernate framework is cool, but i have not seen it in action. But now I have and it is wonderful… so nice and cool.

The Hibernate framework solves the tedious work of mapping your objects in C# (or Java as it is originally) to tables in the database. This is accomplished through mapping files in XML, so it is easy to maintain over time.

It’s so clean and reduce the database coding to a mere minimum. Also this will make you focus on the right stuff, such as business logic.

I am still a rookie (just playing around with it for a short while yet) but this will be my melody from now. Here is some code lines that convinced me: // Open a new session to...
