Bored

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Been studying for a test tomorrow all day, and am really bored. It’s not really hard, it’s just a shitload that you need to read, which sucks, and takes a long time.

Anyway, today I’m probably going to deploy my first customer site, and that’s exciting anyway.

You know what? I’ll tell you all about it when it’s done! :)

It’s a deal!

The Mystery

Just got done with a meeting with a interesting company that I will be working with in the near future. We are going to make a new way of guiding people on the net.

Basically what we are going to do is a system for guiding people through their webbrowser. The company that is named CoStream has got a patent on this technique, which is nice, since the timeframe increases greatly because of this. Not meaning that we want to wait though. We are going to work hard to get this product done by summer next year, and then go on to testing after that.

We are quite sure that it’s going to be possible, but we’ll see. :)

PS. the picture doesn’t have anything to do with the text, it’s just me trying out Zemanta.

Wordpress 2.6 - upgraded

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Just upgraded to the new version of Wordpress.

That’s why the design is so dodgy, or it’s so normal I guess. But I don’t really know if I want to go back to the old one, was a bit to childish I would say.

It might even be time for me to make my own design? Hmm, will look into that soon. At the moment I’m working hard with starting my own business, and that is taking a lot more time than I thought it would. Been setting up email adresses today, tomorrow I’m heading of for a vaccation, and then it’s time for a website to be added to the emails.

VC - not easy

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I’ve been really into VC (Venture Capital) of late. Looking into how it works, and how it works in todays web 2.0 era. No matter how much I read there seams to be a lot more to read, and a lot more to understand. For example I’m not that much of a economic person, and that is what’s making my head spin most of the time. Cash Flow, Burn Rate, Stocks, and there are a lot more. Separately they might not be that difficult to understand, but somewhere along these different “words” actually coexists and depends on each other. That is what I’m having a hard time to understand.

A lot of the VC stuff out there is also only looking towards how companies are supposed to make their way, but nothing about the people actually doing the work. So I got hold of this article by Guy Kawasaki, and it’s worth a read. It’s really interesting especially if you are not that much of a economist, like me :)

Anyway, I’ll update about this soon, and I’ve some exiting stuff to tell you about why I’m researching this right now.

Tired

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I’ve been sleeping an avrage of 4 hours a night the laste couple of weeks, except for the weekends. It’s starting to take it’s toll on me. Fortuneately I’m going to France to meet up with at couple of friends for the weekend, so I have that to look forward to and obviously some sleep! :)

Lately I’ve been doing to jobs and trying to read up on the SEO area of the web, SEO is really interesting, and it’s still a quite new area, that is developing really fast. I’ll se what dent I can leave in it.

Anyway, just wanted to say something, now I’m going to finish off some of the stuff that I’ve got left to do for today, and then I’m going to hit the sack big time!

Copenhagen

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

So now I’m in Copenhagen with the Twingly Summer of Code gang, we are headed for the Reboot conference tomorrow. At the moment I’m working on a presentation of us, and our experiences working with this project.

Anyway, we just got here at about nine thirty and went straight for the hotel, after about an hour searching we got to know that we needed to be there the latest six p.m. to be able to check in, hence the room was gone and we had nowhere to stay. But the nice receptionist gave a call to another hotel and we got a room, and even cheeper, so that was nice! I love good service!

Tomorrow it’s time for the conference, and it’s going to be my first, which I’m looking a lot forward too.

I’ll write you more tomorrow, now I need to keep working on the presentation.

Starting my own business

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Hey!

Today I’ve been looking into what’s needed to start my own company in Sweden. The reason for this is that I’ve got a job todo and they agreed on having me as a consultant. I’m seeing this as an opertunity to try the this “starging your own business” thing. Hopefully I’ll be a billionare before this year is over :)

Nah, but it’s going to be fun anyway.

I’m still trying to figure out what the name of the company is supposed to be, it could be something cool, or it could just be my name. But recently I’ve been looking into the SEO market and have understood the importance of it. So I’ll wait a bit with the name and for now just get to know what I need to do to get my company as well known ass possible!

Working at Twingly - day 2

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

So today was my second day at Twingly. And I have to tell you it’s been awesome fun. We have really been let at it, and have quite free hands when it come to design decisions. The CEO of Twingly and our contractor, and I guess you could say customer, has a good idea of what he wants, but other than that we can work with pretty well any technique we want. Though he has given us a hint that the new Microsoft Silverlight probably is the best thing to use.

Doesn’t say much hey?

We are on the gag at the moment, but we’ll be updating you through the Twingly Summer of Code 2008 blog. Take a look here. We’ll be updating you there frequently during the upcoming weeks.

Enjoy!

Starting again

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Hey, I’m still alive.

I’ve actually been thinking about bringing down this blog, not really been that much in the mood to write about anything. During the trip it was fun to write about the stuff I was doing, and about the people I met. But today there just urge to tell people about myself anymore. So I could just bring the thing down.

But, there is always a but, I realized that I’m doing quite a few cool things at the moment, and if I could write down my thoughts and then return to them to see how it all developed later, that would actually be kind of cool.

So I decided to give it a new try, and let’s see what happens.

So from now on I’m going to write about my daily stuff, and hopefully it’s going to be interesting enough to get a bit of a following.

So here is the list of what I’m doing right now, and probably what I’ll be writing the most about in the near future.

  • Starting a company
  • Working at Twingly
  • Studying
  • Building a house
  • Head of the board of INUG Linköping
  • Training
  • Working in a student union pub (Flamman)
  • Meeting new people
  • Reading

I’ll be back, and I’ll hopefully be keeping this up.

That’s enough for today!

Bye Bye Bye Bye

Just another day…

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Today I’ve been studying pretty much all day, got to school about 8 o’clock, and stayed until just past five in the afternoon. Guess what, at the end of the day it started to feel worse, I thought I had everything under control, but no no. :) But I’ll turn it around tomorrow and ace this thing!

Been to the gym today too, and it was so BOOOOOORING that I decided never to go back. Nah not really, I’m going to sell my gymcard but meanwhile I’ll be doing some grouptraining. I just realized that it’s a lot more fun to train in a group. I used to go to the gym, but that was because I needed to get stronger for the Judo, no when I’m training for the Marathon it’s really no point in building muscell, it’s just more to carry around.

They called from the UNI too and asked weather or not I wanted to take the job as a Kalasgeneral again, because they have been having problem finding a new one, I was really flattered that they even thought about it, but I’m not going to head into another year off. I want to finish this thing now and get it over with.

No, I’m trying to wrap my head around a software development course that I’m going to write a test on, on the 15th. Never been to any lectures or read even a slide before,  but I’m not really in the mood to sit on those lectures ether, only heard shit about it. So I’m going to do this! :)

All for now!
