Project Bygdsiljum First
A few summers ago everybody in the village where I live were given the option of getting internet access, but at the time, it wasn't a case of a switch getting flicked.
It involved lots of hard work and everyone that wanted a fiber internet connection had to quite literally dig the ditches and lay the fiber throughout the village and up to their house, to get it.
Beer in Sweden and an education on drinking beer
I like my beer, always have and probably always will. I went through a stage recently where I turned away from the beer and concentrated on my wine and it was nice and I've added a two bottles to my list of wine to have stocked, but I'm back to the beer and I've found a new website which is just the ticket.
Beer Sweden is a blog, about beer in Sweden and it is packed with loads of information so if you are like me and you like a beer but don't want to go through them all to find a good one, it's a great little site to get a few ideas.

WiFi headache solved: It is the device looking for the WiFi that causes the headaches
I don't know why I didn't think about this before, it's not as if I've only just walked into a WiFi world, it's been around for years, but I've just figured out why I get a headache and dizziness with WiFi.
It isn't the device transmitting the WiFi signal, it is the device picking up the WiFi signal. But, how have I figured it out? Well, I've just switched on a new device in the house that is looking for a signal from a hand controller that I've used for a couple of years with no issues and I get the headache and dizziness again. That and I've just figured out I forgot to turn the WiFi off after a party we had in June.

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.

Going Google Apps Premier Edition
I´m a big fan of Google, always have been and guess, if it keeps getting better always will, but there was one thing that bugged me about GMail; you could never send from your own domain without the users client showing it was coming from your GMail account.
That isn´t so bad, it´s only an email, but it was the one thing stopping me using GMail for all my email, instead I kept using Thunderbird and my very own email address. I used GMail rarely and only for non important stuff, but for work, I would still use my desktop, only because when I sent mail, it was sent from me and not from Google.
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.
Laptop is almost dead: iMac or PC next?
I've flirted with Apple before but always resisted and ended up with my trusted PC, but now I'm about to come to that bridge again and I have to make a decision.
Resisted is probably not the right word either, it is more a case of sticking with what I know and when I rely on my PC so much for so many things, change is frightening.
