Testing... testing... one two three... testing...

Strange desires...

I got my camera here the other day and took a litle trip out today to test it. The camera seems to work just fine. Now it's just my skills that can stop me from taking good pictures.

But who am I to judge?

I got my new camera and this is what I chose to shoot first. WEeeeeee......!

Easter holliday is coming to an end

We left Stavanger monday and stayed at our place in Suldal untill Saturday. Compared to last year there was a lot more snow this year. So we could take some skiing-trips around the area without having to padle over the lake on an ice-flake. Like we almost had to do last easter.

This year I finally read "The Da Vinci code". I know I have been reluctant to reading this book. Mostly because of the hype, but as the hype has settled some and I forgot to bring any other books it was an easy alternative. And it is a crimebook...

The book was worth the read, but I guess you have to keep a reflected mind when you're reading it, and not swallow all the ideas as facts. It is not like the book came with any bibliography or anything. It was an entertaining book that throws enough answers in your face to make you so curious you want to find out more. And that is an accomplishment in it self for a crimebook.

I also read "Sirkusdirektørens datter" a book written by Jostein Gaarder. It was bisarre. A clever idea, but a rather weird ending. Most definitly a Jostein Gaarder-book.

Hopefully I will receive my new camera tomorrow...

First off: The above picture is not taken with my new camera.

Last wednesday I ordered a new digital camera from an online shop. After going through my old photos, cropping and tweeking the pictures I realized that there isn't much left when you crop a 1.3 Mpix photo. After reading reviews, going to every single shop around that I could think of to see what they have to recomend and asking stupid questions. I finally decided to go for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1. It met my most important requirements (good optics, not too big, able to use normal batteries and not too expensive.)

I pressed the "order" button and crossed my fingers that it would arrive before easter. I followed the package-tracking almost hourly waiting for any news to where my new camera were. It got delivered to the postoffice late thursday and I expected it to have arrive sometime friday to Stavanger. Midday friday there were news...

"arrived at the post-distribution center in Trondheim" was the message that popped up when I checked. What!? That isn't the shortest way..! Why the... Hmm... Wait a minute. Which adress did it say I had ordered it to in the mail? Checking.. Cheking.. DANG! It was registered to my old adress. No one to get angy at other than myself... Hrmf...

Hopefully my new camera will arrive early this week so that I can bring it with me and test it during easter holliday.

The firebug within

I've posted some new pictures at Flickr. This one was taken quite a while ago in Geir I's bachelor-party-thingie. I like the "Hulk-thingie" G Ivar has going on here...

New galleries on flickr

I upgraded to a pro-account on flickr and have now added two new sets.

(I had missplaced my camera at the kajak-trip during the summer 2003, meaning no pictures from that trip.)

Threadless T-shirts

Bying your clothes on the Internet is propably something that makes you a geek in most people's minds. So I admit it; I am a geek. I have been known to buy several t-shirts on the internet, and Threadless is my latest favourite. Until monday they've got a discount on all t-shirts. With a price at 10$ a t-shirt you are able to buy 3 t-shirts under the tax-limit in Norway.

Hyttetur

Our traditional easter-trips are getting less populated each year that passes. This year we were 3, and this was my company for the weekend. Fantastic weather and bottomless snow in Røldal.

It doesn't help that my brand new shoes are made for running. I am not quite there yet. Actually I am several km away from it. (ship shape that is...)

I am mainly focusing on schoolwork nowadays, so I haven't been posting too much lately. Here comes my last week as a list:

- It's snowing outside so I don't want to get out...
- It's sunny outside but I have to work so I don't get out...
- I want to play anarchy online and get really annoyed by all the sunlight that shines on my screen...
- I am considering taking a jog, but realise I don't have any shoes that would be good at that...
- I realize that sitting in the dark in front of a computer is considered nerdy by people who doesn't do such things...
- Is my skin turning green?
- I really need to get out tomorrow and get some sunlight...
- Maybe I should buy some sneakers tomorrow...
- Ahh. Sky captain and the world of tomorrow, that is a good film...
- And SW episode one, that runs on nrk2 at this very moment is not...

This is where I work

Took the picture this morning with the phone while walking from the bus. If you click the picture you can also see my office, with explanations...

I just got a new cellphone with a camera and bluetooth. This is actually a low-qual cropped picture I took in dim light with sepia-filter in the phone applied.
