Change is coming! Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS

Change is coming. Quite significant changes I think. I have tried the beta version for some time and there are a few points worth a closer look :)

It's sooo much faster in boot. Yay!
It's got new features in the "social network genre".

And so on. I had a problem updating on my laptop with the beta version, so I'm just waiting the last 19 agonizing days to see the final result!!!

The semi active nerd :)

As time races towards summer, exams and wedding, I have boldly promised my fiancee a six-pack. And not the beer-kind. So I try jogging and a hobby-gym-membership. And all the outdoor activity i log with my Nokia n900. I use the eCoach program witch logg speed, distance, hight difference and heartrate (if i connect a heartrate sensor, wich I don't have).

I also type in my age, hight and current weight, merly to find that the BMI tells me that I'm slightly overweight and kinda lazy... :D

As of today I have bought the tools and "plumbing" needed for installing the Wood fireplace. Tomorrow the chimney will shake in fear!

I'm also to buy some mouldings for the roof in the kitchen and livingroom.

It might be a noisy affair :D I have notefied the upstairs neighbours so that they may take the baby and flee...

Also I have discovered a new band: The Baseballs. Their album, Strike, is great!
They take todays hits and make them 50's like. --

Testing the n900 to the max

Well, to the limit of my knowledge.

It is still a remarkable phone. Or rather a small and handy PC. Every day i dicover something new.

The latest is a pedometer that measures steps via the acelerometer. And also this blogging application. So from now on, most small and rather "facebook-like" updates may come from my trustworthy nokia n900 :)

The last of the "my family meeting hers coffee-meetings" is complete :)

Sunday was a fine day. Except for more snow. We had invited my dad and Anne (his wife and my semi step-mom) to dinner and coffee. Somewhere along the way we decided to invite Linda's parents to coffee too, so that the last of the parents could meet and greet.

The dinner went rather well, a simple spaghetti meal, well appreciated.

It was also the test of our new diningtable in the livingroom. It withered the storm perfectly.

Some time later we had unexpected visitors. Synnøve and Knut, who never manages to get around to visit us when we are actually at home, came ringing the doorbell. They got the quick tour while dad and Anne patiently relaxed in the couch. Of course that's when Linda's parents also showed up :) There was some 5 minutes of utter chaos before the introducing and greeting and good-bye-ing had been managed.

We had a wonderful coffee chat and everyone got on really well. We hope :)

The wedding might be a really good time for anyone. Let's make it a great party!
