TriMN - Wuhu

I just bought a Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth headset and found this awesome power button

After I bought my bike for about three weeks ago my friends have taken me out on long bike rides. Even when we are suppose to study for the exams (... I have one in about 6 hours ). And on our tour to the top of Gråkallen, we actually found snow ;o

And beside all the studying we've been hunting geo caches in Trondheim. It's fun and also a great reason for going outside doing stuff! We also found a tiger in one of the caches :| (picture downstairs). Head over to Geocaching.com if you've never heard of it

Awesome pose by me

Summer is here, and soon the exams too! The weather in Trondheim was great today

Here's me sitting on the window sill taking picture of myself in my shiny relfective (newly cleaned) window.

Have you tried the new My Opera Mail beta? Well, I have And you should too. You can read more about this awesome new service at the Choose Opera blog and the My Opera Mail Team.

On Monday April 4 we had a three hour long "introduction to HTML5 and CSS3" presentation where I bragged about how perfect the web as an application platform is Well, actually I was talking about new elements in HTML5 and CSS3, while showing demos with some live coding

I'm a new Opera Campus Crew member and I was thinking that I could kick-start my "crew career" by holding some kind of a presentation. And as a committee member of an academic and social student organization I get a lot of requests and wishes on courses and guest lectures the students would be interested in. Actually companies use to hold such courses. But someone then suggested that I could have a presentation about HTML5 and CSS3. This was a perfect opportunity to hold my first event with the Campus Crew hat on

This session was held at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway, and it joined the rest of Online's events this spring semester. Online is the academic and social student organization for the informatics studies at NTNU.

When I started planning this event I was thinking of a workshop where the participants could work together and create cool web applications. But some of the participants mentioned to me before the event that many of them wasn't familiar with this cool new "web-stuff". So I started out the history of HTML5(very short) and later about the cool new elements and APIs, and CSS3. This lead to many interesting questions and discussions. And I did my best to answer them all. We started at 4 pm this day and the last person left the room at 7 pm.

I also demoed how to remote debug "the web" with Opera Mobile on a handheld device and Opera Dragonfly on the desktop. Some of the participants tried this on their devices while some connected to other's computer and began to modify the remote content. A great little piece of Opera technology!

Seemed like everyone was having a great time. I had a great time presenting all these cool technologies

Special thanks to Anna Brandt and Bruce Lawson for giving me inputs, inspiration and best wishes for the presentation!

I've just received a Christmas present from Opera. Have you?

This semester have now come to an end and it's time for Christmas and new year holiday. I've already started on an Android app to check the timetable of the local busses in Trondheim (still I'm an iPhone user, and will never be an Android user), and ported the same app to an Opera Extension. I just redesigned my page too and I think it look a lot cleaner. What do you think? (might need some minor adjustments here and there...)

Unlike last year I'll be heading south later this Christmas holiday. On Sunday 26th I'll be heading to Lillestrøm to see what Mai Linh's up to - well, not really - until I return January 1st

I also got a mail from Opera today saying that my Extension was published! \o/

Merry Christmas everyone and (... soon...) Happy New Year!

Just an update on what I've been doing lately. I just started a new semester and gone into all the study thingy again. Having no life what so ever
