80k up in smoke and something weird..
Well just went and bought fireworks :) < please note this grin does not come close to the size of the real one!
I bough a bunch of fireworks for new years at work.... and some fire crackers and stuff :)
The something weird is I was laying in bead last night trying to sleep when I noticed my light on the ceiling flickering.
This is odd since the light was off.
At first I thought it was catching the light from the search beacon on top of the Perlan but then realized the light flicker didn't match the light patch on the wall from the search light...
Well I think I have figured it out. I have a compact florescence bulb in the light and I think it was flickering from the RF signal from the airport beacon. Most airports have a radio beacon the planes can use to triangulate there position. The beacons have a pulse at a regular interval so you can identify each station.
I figure as i am close to the airport the radio beacon is powering my light briefly. :) Mystery solved, I think!

Almost the Great Loot day.
Well x-mass is almost on us, this year the great loot day is looking kinda sparse :(
I have gifts from family and work of course, but I have been using my gift to my self for a month or so now. 160GB SSD drive for my computer.
Anyway sorry for the long laps in posts, but between work and other things I haven't felt like writing in a while. I will try to be better in the new year.
In any case have a Merry Loot Day, and a Happy New Year. :P
ps. I will post pictures of the fireworks again this year.

Winter muesings
Well the snow has fallen, the thermometer has fallen and the wind has risen, guess two out of 3 isn't bad.
We got snow the other day, and -15c temps, and the wind picked up, one of the blogs I read called it Windkill :) aptly appropriate don't you think.
But alas it all washed away last night and the temp is on the rise again. We are down to a few hours of daylight again and the days are starting to blend together.
But the release went well and we are in hotfix and patch mode. Starting to plan the next release and getting the bug counts down.
that is all for me, and sry it has been so long.
