OK - found this on a site and it just blew my mind!

I’ve actually heard that piece with Øystein Baadsvik before but it still amazing.

For all non-brass players - this is more or less impossible stuff. Imagine a footballer doing a tripple-salkov and kicking a basketball into the top corner of a goal from 200 meters - and you are close in how hard this is.

Oh no - I started to follow YouTube-links… Shouldn’t have done that…

But this is too good to slip by me. Chad Vader - so great!

If you ever have six or more years over then this could be something to spend them on.

I am a bit disappointed on myself but I actually think that is quite cool. However did he manage to have the exact same expression in his face for all those days….

Last week I was introduced to a lot of design patterns, and just realized their great potential. Especially cool now when you can find so many example implementations on the net. Also quite often you can find products and utilities that encapsulate the functionality, ready for you to use.

I will try to look into a pattern each week - just to warm up. If I find something that not is to embarrassing to admit that I didn’t know I’ll post some thoughts here…

Just found this as a starter: http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/Patterns.aspx

The last week was really intense, work wise, with some stuff starting off at my primary customer and a review for another customer in the last two days.

It all ended happily, though, with a very nice weekend with, my now very enlarged, family. Magnus became a doctor a few weeks back and they had an graduation party. Which made us all go to congratulate him and also got us together on the special family-island Hyppeln, in the Gothenburg archipelago. The above is a picture from there, in the summer-time mind you well.

Very nice to meet all and to see the wildness of God’s nature during the winter. I could have looked at the waves for hours.

I might, saying might, have been a bit too happy to make a good impression this weekend. But I really was, so that’s fairly right anyway.

Just so that you know where you read it first…

Since the start of the year the company running the subway and buses in Stockholm, SL has banned mobile phones on the first and last wagon (of three!) in all subway trains. Note that it doesn’t mean “have your mobile on silent mode” but rather “don’t talk in your mobile at all”.

This is so stupid! What is next - you can’t talk at all in wagon 1?

Extra funny is that SL really are plugging the mobile as a great way of communicating with them. A lot of efforts has been put in to set up sites and portals for mobiles. Very nice then that you can’t use it on the trains and buses…

I bet that we will laugh at this in a year or so. So - as I said at the top: here is where...

So, why do I always think that “it will be lesser to do this semester” - when i know…

This week contains a lot of different stuff to do, most fun but they are really packing up. It’s something “extra” on the agenda each day of this week. But compared to the opposite (nothing to do) I would choose this every time, twice on Sundays :).

So I’ll try to report here whats going on.

Last week ended in a good way at work, anyway, since we cheat-started (that what was needed) our new architecture in a small part of the system. Felt really good since we have been waiting for that part to start for about a year now. I hate waiting.

I am not a surfer by now means but this looks amazing. If someone could guarantee me not being fish food after the surf I wouldn’t mind trying it on.

After my last post I feel the need to write something positive, since that only mad me angry…

Right now I feel so good with my life! There are so many things, people and things to do that makes me happy everyday. Here are a shortlist:

• Elin - I am so lucky to have met her. We have so much fun together and she alone could be the reason for me being happy.
• Vasa - I really enjoy the Salvation Army corps I am at right now.
• VasaBand - and the band in that corps. Great guys, great band. The fellowship and the dedication to God is genuine and good. It makes me come closer to God each day.
• Euphonium playing - I am right now in “the flow” for my euphonium playing, and have some very interesting “project” coming up

Altogether that make me feel great and...

Yesterday I got phoned by a salesman (woman actually, Madeleine or something). This happened although I am connected with the NIX-register (this register hold numbers that phone salesmen not are allowed to call). This is something I recommend to all since the drop of irritating calls was dramatic after my registration.

Of course the companies doing the sales are so greedy that they just can’t let a lot of irritated customers stand in their way for maybe, maybe doing a sales… so the companies came up with this idea instead: “if we call people that already are customers to us, ask a quick question about how they like us so far - we then can try to sell them something!”

This is probably allowed although you are registered in the NIX-register. Just to think that it took the sales department several year to find that one out. But they...
