Run For Life

Part of my personal development is trying to get fit.
Thus, I’ve made exercise a part of my daily (more or less) routine.
Every morning I get up, take the bus to work, and then I do about an hour of workout before I start at work. I am so lucky to have a working place with [...]

Buenos Dias

My spanish is improving, or at least I’m progressing with the lessons.
Actually, I am now at lesson 6 but I am going back to do some rehersal of lesson 3-5.
The first lessons, which mostly covered greetings/goodbyes and then introducing your self and saying where your’re from, I think I have a good grip on now.
What I need to learn better now, is familiy members and numbers.
I have learned e.g. to say:
Hola, ¿que [...]

Some old art

This evening I was listening to a radio interview with Datarock on Dj Friendly @ nrk.no.They were talking about Datarock’s new contract with an independent label, Nettwerk, which they signed recently.
Datarock is norwegian elektronika group, and on their site you can download some songs and e.g. view the brand new Fa-Fa-Fa video. ¡Fenomenal!
Nettwerk also has artists like Dido and other “big artists”, but one of the artists mentioned in the interview was, a to me unknown band, Delirium.
This got me thinking of some of my old websites, because one of them [...]

Spanish improving

Our Man In Granada has a really nice blog about Nicaragua in South America.
As I was browsing through his site, I realised it could be a goal for testing my spanish skills.
I am now on lesson 4 of  CoffeeBreakSpanish, and as I have become a premium member,
I also have the bonus material to learn from. Exiting!
I have a friend who lives in Mexico (hola Ronny, ¿que tal?), and I just figured, I wanna go on
a journey through South America. Something like Ernesto “Che” Guevara (did you know
his nickname “che” means “hi”, and he [...]

Testing Resources

I currently work as a software technical tester for one of the biggest insurance companies in Norway.
I’ve been doing that for about 1,5 years now, and I’ve gathered some experience along the way.
When it comes to software testing, I believe most of your experience can only be achieved by
doing the actual testing, but of course there’s some interesting reading available.
Beeing a fan of free stuff, I haven’t bought any books or ordered any online test courses,
but I’ve still managed to come up with a quite powerfull collection of information.
Here’s a delta containing some of the documents I use as inspiration and guide for my testing:

How Do You Want To Feel Today?

A sensation of emptiness gently fills my body and mind.

It’s like that feeling when your missing someone, except I don’t miss anyone now.
At least, not anyone I am consciously aware of.
The feeling grows, spreads from my stomach to the back of my eyes. Not tears, just a gentle pressure which lets me know that there’s [...]
