The TP Blogs launching day...

overcast -50 °C

Finally they are here, the TP blogs... alive and kicking :)

I can't believe these bad boys have been in development for nearly a year now, or maybe even longer. Anyway, there is still work to do and some features to be added.

The list never ends :)

New Apartment!

My first apartment...

sunny 17 °C

We bought an apartment!

Would you believe it. I actually own real estate... scary stuff :) We've been looking for ages and found something about a week and a half ago. As is normal in Norway we placed a bid and while I was at Helsinki airport on a stopover I heard the deal had been agreed on. Great stuff!

Here's a pic from the living room looking back at the kitchen:

This is where we finally get to enjoy the few months of sun we have in the summer on our very own roof terrace (it's a top floor apartment). Now this would be a good place for a TP party.... :

And this is going to be my new office and where I do most of my mucking around on the internet from:

Just a little insight into our new place :)

Wedding in Morgedal

Sorry girls, I am now married...

sunny 20 °C

Yes, I got married but most of you already knew that. Instead I am now testing the photo upload system and thought I'd also go ahead and tie up the photo with a diary entry :)

ADDED:

I have just moved all my diary entries to my blog and deleted them from my diary. I'll go ahead and include the photo in here that went with the diary entry.

Cabin in the mountains

Database work in Norway

Went skiing over the weekend and stayed at a wonderful rustique cabin. My mother would have loved it! Maybe except for the fact that there was no running water but still...

It was in the Telemarken area, a place called Øyfjell...or something like that, the spelling here is killing me!... There was not a sound to be heard at night. Really wonderfully peaceful!

After some initial problems getting the car stuck in the snow it was a great weekend away and to be skiing again was a lot of fun. Not quite the French Alps but good enough for an afternoon session!

This week, work, work, work.... so not much special. Although I am going to a musical which is probably a first! My Fair Lady and it is the premiere so some celebs (none of whom I will recognize I am sure) will be around. Free tickets of course....

Till the next time.....

What a contrast

Database work in Norway

sunny -3 °C

What a contrast with the last time I was entering information into this diary... from the hot sunny shores of Costa Rica to the cold inner city of Oslo!

Just thought I would let all of you know I arrived safe and sound. Margit picked me up at the airport and it was straight off to Noahs (the cafe around the corner) for lunch. After a sleep in today, it is time to focus on work.

Take care!

Sam
