Now using Bygdsiljum First and speed test looks good

At midnight our internet access provided by Alltele stopped working and about six minutes later the new service from Bygdsiljum First kicked in. It would have taken longer but I wanted to test the speed so I rebooted the router.

The service is also not getting delivered by Bygdsiljum First, but T3 (for data) and Skelleftea Kraft (for cable) - but I think you know what I mean. The service is called Bygdsiljum First powered by T3.

Another earthquake hits Northern Sweden

In 2008, we had an earthquake that measured 2.46 on the Richter magnitude scale and the one we just had, I'd say, was about the same.

I say 'just had', because it happened about 10 minutes ago. I couldn't post as I was watching the World Cup match between Brazil and North Korea and that was more interesting.

A month with the Google Nexus One in Sweden

I've had my Google phone for about a month now and when it arrived, like with all new things, you tend to play with it a lot and eventually it just fits into the place and reason why you bought it. Not the Nexus One - I'm still playing and it's getting a battering.

To say I'm pleased with the phone would be an understatement and I'm not sure why exactly. Is it because it is manufactured by HTC, or is it the super fast processor or is it Android 2.1 - the latest operating system from Google?

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.
