Swedish Geocoin 2007

I have just ordered two antique silver and one antique gold Swedish Geocoin 2007. I’m planning to release one of them in my own cache which will hopefully be published this fall. The second coin is planned to be released in a cache in New Zealand to do a bit of travelling before going to [...]

First cache found!

Last saturday I decided to go find my very first cache. First I thought about getting the Marinstugan cache but when I got there the place was crowded with mugglers. So I got back on the bike and started pedaling towards the Piren cache instead. The climb out on the pier can be quite dangerous [...]

No more slacking

Got myself a job! I’m on my second week working for the Swedish Armed Forces as a factotum/caretaker at the students service center and lodging. So far I like it very much. I’ve signed a contract lasting until the end of the year but hopefully they will need me for longer than that.

New Theme… and problems.

I’ve switched Wordpress theme and along with that I made the whole site Wordpress-powered. Not everything is back to what it was but I will continue to spend some time every day to get the static info online. The URL to my Photo Gallery changed in the process from http://www.friman.org/gallery/flickr/ to the shorter http://www.friman.org/gallery/. This [...]

Date set for return to reality

We have booked a flight with Sterling from Malaga to Copenhagen on the
4th of may. After seven months in Spain it feels quite good to go home
to Sweden in time for summer. Now I just have to get a job…

I’m a switcher!

I have a Mac Mini on order which will be delivered before I return to Sweden. I will not switch 100% by getting rid of my Windows and Linux machines but I intend to do my everyday work, like organizing my photos and music, on the Mac. I really love the idea of [...]
