A virtual beer tasting: Pilsner Urquell

I like blogs and the better blogs are written by people who are really passionate about the subject matter. Beer Sweden is a good blog because Darren, the guys who started it, clearly enjoys beer and you are not just getting some PR spin.

There is nothing wrong with a bit PR, but with a blog you tend to get an honest view from someone and when that someone knows what they are talking about, chances are if something isn´t up to scratch, it actually isn´t up to scratch and you will be told.

The Google car in Bygdsiljum

The Google car has visited Bygdsiljum and you can now drive down one road and to the top of the ski-hill, minus the snow.

You don´t actually get to see much in Bygdsiljum and Google has pretty much missed most, but it´s still pretty cool that you can have a little look. Maybe, in time they will come back.

Google enter the phone market, just not yet in Sweden

I've come very close to getting myself an iPhone but I've never committed when it came to committing and I put that down to my relationship with Apple. You see, it costs a lot less to buy an Apple in England than it does in Sweden.

Google feeling lucky, counting down to New Years Eve

Just visited a Google employee blog and read in the comments that there was a countdown on the homepage, if you click on the I'm feeling Lucky tab without entering a search query. So I had to have a look but it doesn't work at Google Sweden only Google UK or from what I can see, English speaking Google sites.

Final stages of setting up a new ISP

I say setting up a new ISP, but I've sort of decided against reinventing the wheel, unless I have too. You see, when I started out wanting to do this, I was told that it wasn't possible to set up a service for the village and that if we were to be accepted onto the portal to offer a service, we would have to offer it to the entire region. Things are changing though, so our plans have changed also.

Testing the new 100Mbit internet connection and you just have to be happy

It isn't what they promise but with so many factors influencing exactly what you are going to get it is the reason why they don't guarantee it, but the results are very promising and also more than acceptable, in fact you could so far to say that they are pretty excellent.

Before I decided who to pick based on my questions last week I have to say that only four companies of the seven got back to me. They were Mobile City, Alltele, Brinet and T3. I got an email saying a ticket has been opened for me at Bredband2 but they never replied, Riksnet sent nothing and Bahnhof snet an acknowledgement of the email but again nothing.

It´s going to get cold and the snow is coming

When it is summer, I´m looking forward to winter and when it´s winter I look forward to summer. Today, I was told our local cafe is now closing at 6pm instead of the 8pm it does in the summer. Summer is over.

But that doesn´t mean winter is here or that it´s freezing cold or that we will have snow next week, but it is coming and I´m not looking forward to it too much now.

Sweenglish

Sweenglish is a play on words; Swedish and English. If you speak Sweenglish, you basically understand the Swedish but sound like a twat when trying to speak it. I speak perfect Sweenglish.
