Spotify + Symbian = Symbify or Spotian?
November 23, 2009
Finally Spotify arrives to Symbian, just in time when I’m about to enter the world of Maemo and N900.. Doh!
Anyway it’s great news and my initial test is overall positive on the Nokia E71. You need a premium account ofc (and a mobile phone.. eh).
Actually i wish they could make more applications like this for Symbian - nice, tidy, fast and easy to use (that kinda says a lot about most applications for Symbian – ugly, sucks ass and hard to use..).
Head over to m.spotify.com with in your phones browser and see if you can run it on yours!
If youre still in doubt, head over to Symbian-Guru.com to check this overwiev out

Write a Haiku – win a server..
November 22, 2009
Write your haiku with the theme “Why I want a Home Server.” and enter the contest to win your own homeserver.
I signed up and spent the sunday writing Haiku, ok i allready have my own homeserver, but you can’t go wrong with two homeservers right? I mean two is more then one so it has to be better.. Right?..
Maybe not such a big thing for thoose who have been evaluating and providing feedback on the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview, but the Office 2010 beta is a big step forward even for us. My personal favourite is ofc OneNote 2010 as a tablet PC user.
Be sure to try it out!

See? It’s fucking easy to write a poem!
This is me – working my last day
June 17, 2009
Not much happening right now, most nights goes away in a haze of Battlefields 2142 or recording music in Cubase. Work has been crazy the last two weeks as I aim to implement two new features in our LMS platform before I leave. Now enough with the boring workrelated stuff.
Not much excitement..
The only exciting thing going on right now is my search for a “new” used Marshall amp right now, preferably a half stack. A lot of people say they have problems with Valvstate tops. I had a Valvstate (among others, JCM, Mosfet etc.) myself way back and it worked flawlessly both live and in our studio. The reason I mention the Valvstate is there in my price range – cheap.. And I don’t want to put up a fortune for a half stack as my “live playing days” probably are over more or less.
If you have any tips or insight on what half stack would suite an old rocker like me feel free to drop me a message.
A lot more excitement in the virtual world
SWOTR, STO, DC Universe, Diablo 3 etc. etc. There’s no end to all the cool games coming later this fall. The most exciting news is ofc DC Universe for Playstation 3 (due to come 2010) and SOE even had it running on a PS3 during E3.
Star Trek Online
There’s been a new dev chat with the guys at STO

Star Wars The Old Republic
SWTOR have three new classes and some new cool class specific videos.
The Smuggler
http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/smuggler
Now this looks like your average Han Solo kinda guy. And we all know “”Traveling Thru Hyperspace Ain’t Like Dustin Crops Boy.”. Looks like the “small arms dual wielder”. Check it out!
The trooper
http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/trooper
This is your solider ranged weapons specialist. Even if the trooper have some close combat moves it’s in ranged combat, lobbing grenades and firing heavy weapons he will be at he’s best. You will remember “The Solja” from Anarchy Online. You played Atrox solja ofc 
The Bounty Hunter
http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/bounty-hunter
This looks like the “Jack of all trades” guy for the Dark side. With a variety of tricks and gadgets there known as “The Jedi Killers”.. They obviously never met Obi Wan Blackmoore yet..
Aion
Besides that, Aion (The asian makeover gay fly like an angel game) had its closed beta Phase one and by the time we all had downloaded the client it was all over – had to be the shortest beta in the mmo history. Anyway there going for Phase two starting 19th of June. If you’re lucky you might even get the chance to log in this time.. I’m not even going to put up a link for this lame gay game.
DC Universe on Playstation 3!
For the first time publicly, SOE showed off DC Universe Online using a Playstation 3. Now this is f***ing great news! Check out the interview with SOE Creative director Jens Anderson made by the great guys at mmorpg.com: Watch the Interview with Jens Anderson. It’s exciting as hell with a mmorpg for the PS3! http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/350/feature/3155/E3-2009-Preview.html
This is me, working my last day before I go on my seven week long vacation(!) Yes you heard me – I am taking back every inch of overtime done the last year now!
Peace out! (Not if we meet in the battlefield ofc)

Star Wars Old Republic E3 2009 Cinematic Trailer
June 3, 2009
If this isn’t enough to get your blood pumping for SWTOR i don’t know what will.
Thx Daniel for this one!
Bill Steer blows my mind away!
May 12, 2009
At the age of 40 there’s really not that much that get’s under my skin. But once and again something comes along doing just that.
Right now it’s the extremely talented guitarist Bill Steer, an English guitar player, and founder of British Metal band Carcass.
“Grindcore”..
Personally i don’t give a shit about Grindcore and Death metal but recently I stumbled on a band called Firebird inspired by 1970s rock music and founded by.. Yes! You guessed it – the extremely talented guitarist Bill Steer.
He was a guitarist for Napalm Death from 1987-1989. He played guitars in Carcass from 1985-1995. He played guitar with Michael Amott, whom he inspired to form his own bands. After the demise of Carcass he started his own band Firebird.
The Blueprint!
Firebird and Bill Steer is the blueprint for the music I write myself and my own playing style on the guitar (which has been under a lot of criticism from my former drummers who have played with me and had a hard time understanding what I’m trying to do).
Anyway, if you want to hear, what I believe to be, one of the most talented and innovative guitarists in the world right now, check out the work of Bill Steer and Firebird.
This album will sure get on my ”This weeks Spotify” later today.

Still stuck in the 70’s
May 4, 2009
I’m still stuck in the mid 70’s. I was only 9 years old when Sex Pistols released Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols but along with Jimi Hendrix they changed my life and made me the guitar player I am today.
I owe so much to the 70’s.
Another band i recently rediscovered is Radio Birdman. Check out there Iggy cover of TV eye from 1977 above – it sums up the soul purpose of playing music for me. (unfortunately there only one album available on Spotify and none of there earlier work which prevents them from being “this weeks Spotify”)
The Secret World
April 15, 2009
This is kind of old news, but it’s nice to see The Secret World still being developed. I still have some hope for this game as long as Ragnar Tørnquist is still attached to it. Funcom and Anarchy Online will always have a special place in my “gaming heart”.
Anyway they released their first cinematic trailer (for what it’s worth) so check it out. There’s really no point in saying much more before we get some real ingame footage or gameplay videos.
so for now – dream on!
