Speeding up post-boot in Vista
I’ve been having trouble with Vista’s start-up time. That is, from I supply user name and password and until the system starts responding to my actions. A bit of googling gave me a bit more knowledge of how to see what might be the problem, and how to solve it.
Tips; under Control Panel –> System […]
Leaving Facebook
I’m leaving Facebook. If you noticed I were gone, that’s why.
Java Resources
A couple of my co-workers attending Heinz Kabutz’ Java course in Oslo this week. After they came back, talk drifted in on resources for a minute. Parsing my feeds (Google Reader, hint, hint) brought forth Kabutz’ newsletter and Sun’s Core Java tech tips. Other sources mentioned were Java examples by topic and Resources for Java […]
Generating Class-Path in Jar Manifest with Ant
I’ve recently started to touch Ant. Well, I’ve used it before, but only on the ant clean all level. Now I wanted to write a small build script for a tiny project. Which went off easily enough with the help of Apache Ant User Manual. Well, until I wanted to deploy to a executable Jar […]
Virtual PC
I’ve been installing Windows XP on a Virtual Machine (MS Virtual PC 2007 - free). This has been a fun experience so far; I’ve a few points of experience to submit to any reader dropping by.
Set network connection to “NAT (Shared Network)” in order to use the host computer’s network.
Install “Virtual Machine Additions” in order […]
BBQ with the people from work.
Yesterday saw an eventful evening at the “cabin” of one of my co-wokers. Johannes invited us to share an evening at his place in Skjold, where we were served shrimps, mussels and salmon. The food was delicious and the weather was really nice.
We participated in some activities, walked a bit round the local flora and […]
(Graphical) design for dummies

Other points were “quality of use”; 1) Usability, efficiency and user satisfaction; avoiding visual noise; choices of color.
Almost […]
Ny Jobb
Now I’ve been working for Bouvet for a little bit more than two weeks. My title is Consultant, but I suspect (and hope) I will still have enough work as to be able to say “Developer” without lying through my teeth.
I’ve been lucky to get to know my co-workers a bit better; we had a […]
Spoofax Seminar
I came stumbling into Karl Trygve’s seminar on Spoofax, just as he was about to start. Sweating, breathing heavily, and with a dripping wet umbrella (well, come on, it IS Bergen)… I’ve been told the other listeners wondered who I was.
Anyway. He presented his work well and interesting, with just the right amount of dry […]
Mule talk at javaBin Bergen
Dropped by yesterday and listened to Rune Peter Bjørnstad (Bouvet) talk about Mule. It came across as a simple and flexible message bus. Running by itself or in another server, there seemed to be few things it couldn’t do. One of the most interesting things, however, was the roadmap. Mule 2.0 will come with support […]
