New job After around 100 applications, a handful of job interviews, a course in PRINCE2, several weeks of part time work and 1 month long internship, I’ve finally gotten a job! To say I’m happy and relieved is an understatement. I have officially been unemployed for around 8 months, but I wouldn’t exactly say I have been idling away my …
Raspberry Pi 3 as a media-player
I got a Raspberry Pi 3 model B the other day. I have been thinking about getting one for a long time, but never got around it before now. I was growing tired of using my laptop as a media-player and the RP3 seemed a perfect solution. I have always wanted to use it as a media-player, but the first …
Unity
The other day I took my first steps in Unity. I have toyed around with the idea of creating something in a game engine. Previously I have tried Unreal Engine and CryEngine, but it didn’t amount to much, other than creating a flat map with some terrain in it and then just forgetting everything about it for a year or …
New PR (again)
New personal record – again. Just as last time, it was on my dead-lift. I surprised myself by doing 180 kg. The form was good and it went pretty smoothly. I also tried to do 190 as I felt I had more in the tank, but I failed. All in all I’m pretty satisfied. Not the fastest progress seen, but …
PRINCE2 Practitioner
Last week I got my PRINCE2 Practitioner certification and boy it felt good. I wasn’t really nervous about failing the exam as I had passed all the test-exams leading up to the final one. However I must say my heart started hammering a bit when I pressed the “end exam” button so I could get my results. Those few seconds …
PRINCE2 Foundation
Last week I passed the first exam in my PRINCE2 course. That means I now have a PRINCE2 Foundation certification. For life. The exam was a selection of multiple choice questions where you had to get at least 50% right to pass. No big deal, as I got close to 90% correct. The questions weren’t that difficult per se when …
PRINCE2
So, I’ve started on a PRINCE2 course with the aim of getting a certification as a sanctified PRINCE2 practitioner. It’s a course I have been looking forward to, as I want to expand my skills in project management. To actually start on the course took me jumping through some hoops. As I’m currently on unemployment benefits I’m allowed up to …
The Jolly Adventurers Club, Part II
After around 4 months hiatus we were finally able to continue our D&D adventure. I recommend you read the first part here if you haven’t, otherwise the story doesn’t really make sense. Recap Our adventurers ended first session in a cave full of wolves and goblins and had defeated the mini boss in form of a bugbear. Christian the cleric …
New PR
For some time I have been at a plateau at around 160 kilo. in deadlift. More than that and my grip fails. It simply slips out of my hand. The other day I was doing my usual sets of 140 and had a really good feeling. So I thought “Why not give it a shot?” and loaded 30 more kilo …
Done and done
I know I haven’t been active lately, but I’ve been busy writing my bachelor thesis and taking care of an unexpected exam. The school had somehow “forgotten” we had to take an exam in some elective courses, so we got a heads up a week before we had to take the exam. Luckily it was a multiple-choice test and we …
