On my way to Istanbul for a job conference one of my coworkers was reading something interesting. He threw the book to me and let me take a quick look at it and I was hooked.
Joel on software is a damn nice book mainly about programming and computer topics. What you need to know about certain stuff, some ranting about other stuff. All the things you can read about on www.joelonsoftware.com but in a nice book form. Ill bring it with me on my flight tomorrow so i have something to read on my way.
And on that topic, going to Stockholm tomorrow for the Freenix2006 conference. My first time in Stockholm actually so im hooking up with a old army buddy of mine so he will show me the city and where to grab a nice dinner. :-)
Havent seen him for about 4 years so im really excited.

A new blog
So, a new blog. Well I got tired of running my own wordpress. After the fatal harddrive error on my precious "sunkburk" (somewhat slang in swedish for crappy computer) I bought a new 250GB harddrive for it, just for keeping backups from my powerbook.
Since i dont want it running 24/7 in my apartment and wasting harddrive after harddrive I decided to host my domainname dopefish.se on a friends computer. Lucky for me this friend works at port80 i get 100Mbit/s for free just to store my pictures i want to show friends and family. :-)
About me and this blog then. I decided that I need a new blog now that I have started a new job. This job requires me to write in english all day, speak english in meetings and to be polite and articulate. Since I really havent been polishing on my english for a while I might need to get it up to date by writing more than the specs i do every day. As you might imagine, im a programmer for a large company.
And the name of the blog? Well it came to me after a pointer from a friend that stated, "dude, thats som nerdy behavior when I instead of laughing said "LOL". :'(
