  • W00p w00p, Norway!

    w00p w00p w00p! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Celebrate

    I just had a panicked morning as I realised my old work visa had expired. I’d been looking at the wrong date in my visa when working out when I was going to get booted from Norway. Fast forward a few extremely worried hours, and I managed to phone up UDI (government people) who after 20 mins on the phone were able to tell me that not only have I been granted a new work visa (which I’d been told I could only apply for one year at a time) has been granted, and not only that, but it’s been extended to 2016 🙂

    And you Norwegians thought you were gonna get rid of me 😛 Ya’ll are stuck with me till 2016 now! Muahaha!

    Relax, this is totally normal in Norway.

  • Ivelina and Reindeer

    Ivelina and I headed into town after scoffing down some yummy pizza. Here is Ivelina standing beside a Reindeer statue.

  • Excessive caching?

    As weird as it may seem, I’m pretty sure I managed to make this upward trend in load times decrease by reducing the amount of caching on my site(s). I reduced how often Batcache stores pages and the load time plummeted within a few minutes.

  • Harriet and I at Nyhavn

    Harriet and I headed to Nyhaven, a small port area of København in Denmark with lots of awesome little restaurants and cafes.

    They sure do have some interesting fashions in Denmark.

  • Spring barbecue in Norway

    Everyone says that spring in Norway is beautiful. So we decided to celebrate it by having a barbecue by the lake at a balmy -3°. We also discovered that putting a baby disposable barbecue on a wooden bench is not such a good idea, unless of course you want to barbecue your food with the table itself.

  • 40% beer

    I went for a beer with the lovely Fonda. I ended up drinking beer with 40% alcohol content. I’m going to file this in the “it seemed like a good idea at the time” basket! It tasted something like a cross between tequila and vodka. At no point did I sense a taste of beer 😛

  • “Stealing” a TV with Milan

    Milan and I felt like a couple of eastern European gangsters as we transported my new TV across via the subway 🙂
