I’ve always been fascinating on how to do a good presentation or how to persuade an audience. My usual way to do this is to study the subject and to get a good feel about it - I know that I am much better on topics i really have a passion for. And then I often spoils the whole thing...

It seems like our baby is on it’s way. Elin has become sick (nothing too serious) in way that usually leads to the labour is started in a artificial way. We are not too worried but it is really exciting that the nine months are closing in to an end. So perhaps the next time I write anything here I...

OK - as you all know I am quite disappointed with the Phone House service quality and the way the treat their customers. You can read about it here and here. And try out this funny query at Google where I am one of the top hits with a not very flattering post. Well if you have followed along I...

Found this cool online (!) tool for converting C# code into VB.NET-ditto and back again: http://labs.developerfusion.co.uk/convert/csharp-to-vb.aspx I am trying it out now and it seems to work like a charm. OK - i’ve now (20 minutes later) converted about 10 files of various size. Most stuff went well but it must be pointed out that this size only converts code,...

This weekend has been a weekend of reclamations; i’ve been around the several stores demanding different stuff to be replaced. It’s been beds (IKEA), whisk (Åhléns), shoes (Wedins, they lasted about two months…) and finally phones (yes, again) - I’ll get back to the phone-part.
