First Spring Like Day In Stelpe

The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly. There is still a little snow along the forest road, and a little still remaining from the large drifts in front of our door. But it seems that today they will be gone too.

I went out with my camera, and will be posting some pictures from the vicinity here. We are so used to living in this place that we seldom notice how beautiful views some angles can show us.

It is my nameday today, and I have already received a lot of greetings. Thank you.

See you within a while. Now I have to get back to my work. This is, by the way, my fifth year that I work for Software Innovation in Norway. It makes me feel great that I now know more or less what I am doing and what needs to be done. I remember the days when I began. It was just a deep ocean of strange and even a bit scary things. Through the selfless assistance of my boss and friend Geir Hansen, and hours and hours of learning I feel now comfortable with my work. All things seem to be too large in the beginning. But keep just pushing on and never give up.
