Leiden Air BNB
I had my first experience of AirBNB in Leiden in the Netherlands. It was a really nice place at a good price and with a terrific view.
Kristall weiss
I’m currently sitting in a teeny tiny pub in Bonn (Germany), drinking something called a Kristall weiss, which according to the bar tender is apparently like a regular weissbier, but it’s filtered so it doesn’t have the cloudy weissbier thing going on. Imma starting to feel a little drunk 😉
Space cake and Shisha pipe in Amsterdam
Ivelina and I went to a Shisha pipe place in Amsterdam. I mostly spluttered, coughed. Ivelina clearly enjoys it a whole lot more than me though.
Kiwi shuffleboard in Drammen
We had a shuffleboard tournament in Dramman for Kiwis. It is a rather strange table top sport.
Ross Ulbricht, alleged owner of Silk Road has been arrested
At 29 years of age, Ross William Ulbricht has been charged with running Silk Road. What confuses me, is that these are supposedly the ways he got caught. All of which seem like trivial things that he should never have been doing. He avertised Silk Road on drug forums and bitcointalk.org with the username “altoid”, […]
More photos from Charlotte’s birthday bash
First attempt at beer pong
Somehow, I have managed to never play the illustrious game of beer pong. Tonight was my lovely flatmate Charlottes birthday party, where I got to break my beer pong duck finally, and we won too, thanks to my kick butt teammates 🙂
Woohoo! We won the beer pong.
My awesome team won at beer pong this evening 🙂
Elevator of death
Arghhh! Frost!
Darn it. Winter is coming! I took this photo on my way to work this morning.
WordPress geeks in Oslo!

Knekkebrød
Knekkebrød is a strange Scandinavian bread. It normally tastes like cardboard. It turns out I do like knekkebrød if it’s yummy Danish style knekkebrød 🙂
Elementary OS
Testing out Elementary OS. First task … install Nginx, PHP and MySQL so that I can run WordPress on it 🙂 I’m running it on a dog slow Dell Vostro 1510. Despite the laptop being stupidly slow, the operating system is running very quick indeed, much faster than stock Ubuntu. If things go to plan, […]
Oslo Marathon
Marathon completed! 4 hours 57 minutes. I’m no Kenyan, but I’m just glad to have made it to the finishing line in one piece 🙂 I hate running. I do however seem to excel when I challenge myself and I decided to challenge myself to do a marathon. My motivation for this began whilst trying […]
Foodgasms
When I attended my friends Ingvild and Marte’s wedding, I was repeatedly asked what I thought of Norwegian weddings.

Thanks to @georidersmtb for becoming my 2000th follower 🙂
Vegetables
I ate almost nothing but vegetables for a week and felt awful. I ate nothing but carbohydrates on the weekend and now I feel great. I think I’ll stick with the carbohydrates from now on 🙂
The Rhine
Steffi and I headed to a small viewing platform beside the Rhine river, near Duisburg.
Metronet evening
One of our final evenings at Metronet, my old employer in Norway.
When dead
God sent this to me.
Mooooooo
Trip to Bjørnsjøen
A group of us headed off to Bjørnsjøen from Oslo for a nice Saturday cycling trip. We had some mud bogs to cycle through, a barbecue and lots of sun 🙂
I broked it :(
I think it bent out of shape when I was going downhill. I was nonchalantly leaning back whilst cruising down the hill, and I think it was that point I noticed something was odd. I initially thought I was just imagining it and the handlebars had always been that far back. Then I noticed it […]
Old MacDonald
Ride of a lifetime
I wanted something powerful that would help me pick up hot chicks. Today I took my new ride for it’s first serious cruise.
Even more from Landschaftspark
Even more photos from my trip to Landschaftspark, Duisburg with Steffi.
Moo moo!
Mooooo!
Cow throwing not allowed!

TweetDeck schedule
Is this new? Or did I just not see it all this time?
Landschaftspark
Landschaftspark is a park in Duisburg, designed to show off the former industrial nature of the area. I spent a pleasant afternoon there with Steffi.
Marte and Ingvilds wedding
I had the privilege of attending my lovely friends Marte and Ingvild’s wedding last weekend. The beautiful brides were married just north of Oslo.
Leah’s birthday bash
My friend Leah had her birthday recently. She told everyone she didn’t want a birthday present, so I had a birthday greeting made for her instead 🙂 Download video from Harald
Kim Dot Com
My claim to fame for the day … Kim Dot Com is following me on Twitter …
Paternoster lift
Paternoster lifts consist of a series of open compartments that move without stopping. You need to jump on very quickly to avoid getting squished!
Photos of me
Apparently I don’t post enough pictures of myself, so here’s a couple of random ones which don’t fit into any other posts.
Soviet era apartment block
I’ve always had a fascination with how things worked in the Soviet Union. The massive attempts of economies of scale attempted by the Soviet Union are something rarely seen in the western world. I recently had the privilege of seeing inside an old school stereotypical Soviet era apartment block in Cluj-Napoca. There wasn’t much to […]
This feels oddly familiar at times
Bush Flying Basics
I am now famous in the area of “plane landing in dodgy places photography”. The following snapshots are from a DVD called “Bush Flying Basics”.
Skjærsjøen
Some photos of the beautiful Skjærsjøen lake near Oslo, Norway. I took these whilst on a cycling tour with Live, Ingvild and Nora.
Axe throwing
I tried my hand at axe throwing whilst at the Râșnov Citadel. Apparently I can neither aim, nor throw very well.
AirBNB?
Why the heck does AirBNB need to manage my contacts or see the meta data in my Google drive for?
