Second batch of graduation photos. Mostly us + family standing around in robes or normal nice clothes taking more photos than feels humanly possible for a human to go through in one day. Most importantly, however, it features an attractive redhead, who is crazy on the surface, but is now certifiably smart as well.

This normally takes one day, but we got the special couple's bonus of getting to go twice. Of course it is mostly just sitting around listening to names, but we also get to take photos in these funky robes. Here's a ridiculous amount of photos of me. If that sounds like the kind of thing you want to see, click in. If not, perhaps holding out for photos of a certain hot redhead in similar robes would be appropriate.

These photos make me happy. The only time I bring my big boy camera to campus (graduation), and these serene representations of the mathematics department greet me. If these do not inspire nostalgia (envy) in me (you), I do not know what does.

As a small effort in self-gratification after finishing uni, I have been looking into getting tournament scheduling possibilities coded into clux.org. Initially, I planned on doing this last year before it went live by hooking it into the already unreasonably complex (for this site anyway) event system - which you can only see by registering - but it turned out to take a little more mental effort than I expected. In particular, the problem of how to order seeds into the tournament bracket seemed a bit random. I think it's worked out now however, so I thought I'd share. Venture on if that interests you.

Oh, and my custom renderer is installed for the maths geeks (so for this site: myself), so all maths is now properly rendered in cool transparent white font gifs. As a maths graduate (which feels awesome), this is pretty much a necessity!

For a while back was the hard decision taken that our beloved dog and familymember should let go.Han had pain in hips and joints as well as the appetite was very poor. He was a sick old dog. Despite the problems, he was in very good spirits and will do all to please the good dog he had always been.

When I knew that our little joy spreader had "received his sentence" I had really bad conscience and walked around with a constant lump in my breast, a terrible feeling.Me and my brothers who do not live with our parents anymore decided to meet up all together even though we live on each edge of our country.
We were traveling from Ålesund, Bergen and Bodø to say goodbye.

Tango had been the family's mascot and pet for so many years that the thought of what would happen was very cruel. For us it was incredibly important to say goodbye and that it should happen in a dignified manner. If we had not taken action, it is likely that he would fade away from hunger and disease one night all alone.

He had now instead his loved ones around him and had said goodbye in a way that was dignified and peaceful sleep in while we were there for him.Although it was hard and very difficult, I am very happy that it happened this way June 5, 2010 because you deserve only the best.

Thanks for the trip Tango! it was a wonderful time we had together and we were all so very fond of you! Now I hope you run around in the eternal hunting-grounds as healthy as you once were and you know that we miss you lots and will never forget you!

I am unofficially a first class master of mathematics! My fourth year results arrived in my inbox today, which means I get to throw the canonical square hat in the air at the 19th of July! Oh, and ding: Achievement unlocked! Nothing like putting the good old gaming spin on serious achievements, and I reckon this one would be worth a couple of thousand G's - which is Xbox achievement currency for the uninitiated. The Xbox logo was easier/cooler to shop than the steam one, which is why this unfamiliar lingo is put forth. The shopping action still took me way too long for this.. Oh well!



Anyway, these are my last results ever. If anything I do ever gets posted up here, they should be amongst them.

Second batch of shots from Norway summer with brothar in his new place. The good times are abundant (mostly thanks to awesome girl), and the chilling is endless. Incidentally, my fourth year marks should be released today, this should distract me from that fact.

AKA Bro-summar. It's his new place, but we are defiling it as usual. The strict instruction was 'no business in the shower' which should be fine given the size of that thing, and beyond that we just provide food and social commentary for brothar, so I think this is acceptable for him for now. Anyway, here are some initial setup shots from the place and some other right around that time.

A collection of shots that cheer me up on an otherwise grey an empty day. Most of these are very fresh, but I have dug deep in the unsorted photo folder of doom today, so it's a bit mix and match. This was the best title I could find for that. I certainly don't feel the kind of gloom required to wrestle with SSRIs, but serotonin this way cometh. Fo sho.

After a day of late celebrating how incredibly old I am, it is time to sort through the archive of shots yet unpublished. First up is from March last year when my mum and I went to London.

Apart from the Crown Jewel tour (where you were not allowed to take photos), the thing didn't really pack much of a punch. The following internet tradition seems appropriate: I went to the Tower of London, so you don't have to.
