Month: June 2006

My summer vacation progresses, with the company of my cousin from out of town that is attending a summer internship with Earnst & Young.

I completed the form to enroll to Law school today, well before the deadline to send it in at 4th of August. This comes in addition to the business school I'm primarily attending at the Norwegian School of Management, where I'm on my way for a Masters of Science in Business and Economics, with a major in Finance.

I still haven't found a new girl to care for after the breakup with the significant other in february, so should probably put some effort into that throughout the summer, at least there is an oasis of possibilities right across the street. That dorm house is fairly nicely located.

So for everyone else, maybe except for the ex, eh 🙂 have a good summer

This is just a little notice that although people doesn't find me around on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) anymore, where I have been rather active for several years, I'm still alive.

I have been active on IRC for nearly a decade, and at one point it just got enough. People in different channels are tired of me, and I'm tired of them.

Those who knows me well enough and still wants to keep in touch, they have my email address, MSN address, or some other means of contacting me, otherwise I have a contact form on my primary website.

I have been active on multiple IRC Networks throughout time, but primarily Undernet, where I've been difficult not to spot in channels such as #asp, #linux, #html, #sql, #mysql and numerous others throughout time.

I've been through good times and bad times, including one regular over many years dieing of a brain tumor, spending her last days on IRC from her sickbed in the hospital, on borrowed laptop and a dial-up connection.

So long and thanks for all the fish

Following up the former article about responsibility for your own actions, I came across another newspaper story (norwegian story).

This article it is about a man from Trondheim, a city in Norway, cought for shoplifting while under influence. Apparently his lawyer thinks he shouldn't be responsible for it, as he was too drunk at the moment. Thankfully the court saw the case otherwise and fined him close to 500 USD as well as 500 USD in case costs. This comes in addition to laywer fees, although the laywers say they will bring the case further for free.

Being drunk does not excuse your actions, it is your own free will to get drunk, and you should face the concequences for your actions while being drunk. Even the laywer is a hypocrit, and wants to distinguish between punishment law and property law.

We need to get a grip.
