On the move…

After living and working in Oslo for approx. 3 years I have decided to move back to Trondheim.
My time in Oslo has been very hectic, with a lot of work and career choices which I am really happy with.

Working with TelePresence, video conferencing and communications in general is very exciting. This technology is driving in the fast lane and the market potential is huge. TelePresence gives users a new meaning and way of work which – when configured and used properly – is extremely efficient, fun and satisfactory to work with. You can sit on the other side of the world and still feel that you are a part of a team that is on the other side of the globe. What’s better than that?

I am really looking forward to spending the summer in Trondheim. I just hope the weather will play along and be nice

I hope you all get to have a nice spring!

Fall has landed

The fall has arrived in Oslo. Actually, the winter has arrived. But there is no snow, only darkness.

We are in the darkest period of the year, where the snow usually gives us some light during our dark evenings. You wake up and it’s dark. Then you go to work and it’s still dark. Then you go home from work and it’s dark again. No wonder people get depressed during the winter.

Personally, I get very calm and relaxed during this dark period. I focus on doing the other stuff that I want to do; finding new music, gaming, learning new stuff and studying things that I have postponed during the summer. Learning some new licks on the guitar, watching some TV and movies, go to the cinema… And possibly read a book or two. And when the snow has arrived – it’s all about snowboarding and other winter activities.

What is your favorite thing to do during these dark hours?

Spring in Oslo

Howdy, Internet!

Last sunday was the first overcast day in a long time in Oslo. A perfect day to scribble down some words on this blog thing that I rarely use or update.

So what´s new? Well, lots of stuff actually! I started working for a new employer one month ago – a change that has been extremely positive – and really needed. Not only regarding the work that I do, but also everything else. Colleagues, the working environment, the management – everything is very, very good! A very positive change! My new work consists of the technical aspect of Cisco´s TelePresence communications systems. I love communication in general, so I couldn´t be happier!
I have also decided to permanently relocate to Oslo. The city and it´s surroundings has started to really grow on me, although sometimes I do miss being in a more relaxing environment. Luckily there are places to go to that fulfills those needs.

A new job also means many new people to get to know! The guys and girls that I work with are all really nice and cool people. Speaking of new people… I met a special someone a few weeks ago that really captivated me! And I am really looking forward to getting to know her better in the future

All in all, life is very good. And soon the summer will stop by and make it even better!

Have a great springtime folks! Enjoy those sunny days with friends and family! Enjoy the strawberries, the ice cream, the BBQs and everything that you only can do in the spring and summertime. Don´t save those smiles – and don´t forget that life is all about good experiences!
