Yahoo+Microsoft=Britney Spears

frippe — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:53:28 +0000

So I was listening to No Agenda podcast the other day where John and Adam suggested that having “Yahoo+Microsoft=Britney Spears ?” as a title would yield more page hits.
I like listening to N.A whenever I’m on the bus or doing something boring, they always manage to talk about something interesting or entertaining.

Midsummer Eve was nice, spent it with a friend and a couple of his friends which means that I got to meet lots of new people. That’s good. We had a bbq and played a few games like “have you ever” and the like.

At the moment I’m trying out a new Espresso blend from a micro roastery here in Sweden, and the roastery is called “da Matteo Torrefazione”. The blend is called “Midsomer Murders” and it’s a nice blend I belive, though my first shots were pulled like 1 or 2 days after roasting. I’m going to pull another shot tomorrow and see if I can find any different taste notes. My “pal” isn’t really that developed, but I want to try and see what I can taste

Anyways, time to sign off and go to bed.

DB2 to go open source.

Rumours has it that IBM might let DB2 go open source. I wonder what might come out of that? Will it replace Postgres or MySQL? Will it even be a competitor? Who knows… But probably there will be more structure in the code and any spagetti code will be removed.

Tried a new café today. It’s a combo of a café and a fitness center, good that people are thinking outside the box. There were pamplets about Aloevera on the coffeetable. I guess Aloevera is the snake oil of the 21st century.

Anyhow, it’s getting late over here and I need to pack a bag. Going for a trip and celebrate Midsummer Eve, yay! Lots and lots of beer, let it flow!

Take care!

Happy Firefox day!

So, today is the day. When they release FF3 into the wildernes.
Myself being an Ubuntu user I have already tried out FF3b5 for quite some time now, and I like it. It has happen on a few occasion that it hangs, but I belive it has to do with Flash and not the browser

IBM has published articles in Swedish and English about the new HPC cluster in Umeå, Sweden.

Read more about what HPC2N says about the new cluster, akka

That’s all for now.

Visiting the archipelago of Gothenburg, Sweden

Me and a friend went out on a ferry trip to an island called “Vrångö” in Gothenburgs archipelago. Please watch my clip from the trip over at my qik page. The island was very nice and I liked it there, would even consider moving there or have a summer house on that island. I guess it’s all a question of money.
We decided to stop by an indian restaurant called Mahariani or something like that. Amzaing indian food was served there, however

Welcome!

Hi,

this is my first post on my new page. I will use this page/blog to track my life.
I will probably write about anything, but my main interests are

Good beverages, where coffee is on the top of my list
Good food, right now I’m into smoked fish
There will also be influences of computers and HPC.

That’s all for now, take care!
