Hello world! (, again...)

I have been neglecting my blog for quite some time now. So tonight I decided to bring it back to life again. My goal is to try keeping this as my personal note pad filled with things that I want to share with other people. 

Last time I was "blogging" I tried to write at least once every day. That is note going to happen this time. Rather I will try to just note things that I want to be able to recapture later or just to remember to bring my computer when chill-axing at my balcony inte the warm (and few?) Swedish summer nights.

See y'all again soon!

Frustrated over stupid Windows EOLs?

This is an awesome command I found yesterday to get rid of all those ^M produced by your coworker opening unix files on a PC.

This is how you convert those "corrupted" text files back to sane linux/unix readable files.

Usage: dos2unix <filepath>

Installation: sudo port install dos2unix 

Be sure to install Darwin ports first. I guess apt-get will probably works just as well.

I freakin' love the menu of tonight's crayfish party. A little slice of Sweden right in the heart of SF. :D Skål!

On my way home from work I pass this coca cola sign every evening. It is some thing about it that makes me slow down a look at it every time. Especially in sunset. Isn't it attractive?

I just got off work and waiting for the CalTrain to take me back to SF. I don't know if it is my mood but today has been a pretty good day. I can feel that the Indian summer is hitting SF any day soon. Here it is 7.12pm and 29C. Gothenburg have 14C. I guess life is just unfair sometimes.

The most valuable company of the world

The dipp in the stock markets last week has shuffled around a bit.

How would have thought this in 1997?

Apparently it was this cranes in Oakland that inspired George Lucas to create the ATATs in the original starwars movies. Really soon we are back in SF. Feels good to be home.

Doesn't hurt my eyes to wake up this view. I envy Sofia that get to see this every morning. The contrasts between Tahoe Keys, Lake Tahoe and the Tenderloin, San Francisco is pretty humungous. Here the transvestites, on the corner rock dealers and strip clubs are exchanged for beautiful views, rich old people and silence. Welcome to Lala-Land!

Lake Tahoe

God damn I love road trips. We had such a great energy in the car on the way here and my roomies are top notch. So we arrived at Sofia's in Lake Tahoe around 11pm. I was just amazed with her place, the surroundings and the outskirts up-class kind of community here. So we dropped of our stuff at Sofia's and decided to go the 10 minutes over to Nevada and the casinos over there. On the way there I saw something in the ditch of the road and lightly put my foot on the break to see what kind of animal we saw moving around. I was so amazed about the bear mom and her three cubs that climbed a tree to jump over the fence into someone's backyard. My first live bear and I got to see four of them. Amazing! Loved the casino we were at but I am still puzzled about how dance floor interaction is working here in the U.S. I think I never will get it. I guess I am more of a low key bar kind of a guy. Even though the casino and the club (inside the casino) was more than great my top experience of the day was the bears we got to see. Now I am putting my head on the pillow and try to get some rest before the new adventures of tomorrow begin. Sleep tight!
