When confronted with some thought provoking subjects my mind has an interesting side effect. Unconciounsly, I find myself thinking about the actual thinking. Am I thinking in the correct abstraction level? Are my thought not repetition on some previous idea? Are they permutations of ideas already mentioned? Am I making sense at all in the [...]
¶ Marsedit
Offline blogging may sound like a bit of an odd idea, but the idea did stick with me. After all, wordpress is not exactly the world’s best word processor. I just grabbed Marsedit and am going to see how this works for me. On other news, Im really turning into a twitter fan.
It has now been two weeks since I started working so I figured it might be a good time for a post about how things are. Before I started working all I heard from the working people is how they miss the student time. How much more demanding working life is. It won’t be an [...]
It seems like it took forever, but its finally finished. As of today, my Bachelor’s diploma in Informatica (computer science) is waiting for me at the administration office of the university. Only now do I really believe that I have actually graduated. Next step is an MBA, but I think I’ll wait a year or [...]

Angkor, the old capital of the Khmer empire is a huge complex. Its about 40 km from the north most temple ruins to the [...]

Yesterday we crossed the Cambodian border, after falling victim to several scams in one ticket. We bought a fairly expansive ticket from Chiang Mai to Siam Reap(the city next to the Angkor Wat). We were promised to buses in Thailand and good buses in Cambodia. We didn’t get the bus we were promised from Chiang [...]
The north of Thailand, so much to do so little time. Like I wrote earlier we had to narrow it down. We knew we had about a week so we devised a plan to fill the days as best we could. The first day was dedicated into what, in my opinion, is one the best [...]
