About
May 6th, 2009
Just a blog where I post my rants about shit. The domain- and blogname is obviously a reference to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the genius of Douglas Adams. I was just browsing for random available domain names, and it seemed as good as any choice really. So here it is!
I am from Norway, currently live in Oslo and I am 33 years old. I have a background in electronics and IT. The last years I have been working as an IT consultant both doing IT administration for small businesses and public service offices, and programming websites for small businesses in cooperation with a graphic design company. My webdesign business was something I brought with me from Sydney, Australia, where I lived for 2 years some time ago. I mostly do coding in php on the LAMP platform (Linux-Apache-MySQL-php). I have also done a lot of administration of Windows 2003/2008 systems on multi-domain networks. I have been working with Windows servers sine NT4.0. Personally I use Linux and have a Linux-server setup at home running 2 Ubuntu 10.04 servers and a Windows 2003 virtual server.
At the moment I am not working much, but studying. I have finished a bachelor program in physics and have now started on a masters degree in experimental particle physics. Other than studying, I post on forums like TalkRational.org where I post under the name Species8472 (a Star Trek reference) and follow a number of science blogs and news services. I also require my weekly dose of xkcd. I don’t have much free time these days, but I do like mountain hiking when I have some time off. Photography is also a small hobby of mine that I wish I had more time for. I also love movies, and especially science fiction. I do also try to read a bit, also mostly science fiction or fantasy.
