My life
 Phase Genesis to Nirvana
Life began on a cold winters day back in 1970. It was in late march and this story begins at Nacka hospital east of Stockholm. Since I don't remember that much of my first years in life (they say it was good), we'll make a leap forward in time to, let's say, 1980.

I moved up to Hörnefors, just south of Umeå which is located in the northen part of Sweden. Lovely place with polar bears walking around on the streets. The kids up here has to bring a shut-gun with them to school just in case. I've heard the American kids does the same nowadays, but I never heard of polar-bears in New York City?

After graduation from Dragonskolan (the school) I moved back south to Stockholm again looking for a job. I was really lucky and got the first job I saw in the paper. The intervju was really a success. I managed to get there one hour earlier than the time we agreed upon over the phone. I was playing ping-pong when they rang so that's why I couldn't hear the correct time. The words "nine" or "ten" can sound alike when you're about to loose a game of ping-pong.

And here I am. At Ericsson hacking around in C/C++/Erlang/PLEX (you don't wanna know what this is...) and feeling kind of comfortable.

Major up-the-ladder-towards-nirvana events has until now been:

Nirvana hasn't been reached yet, but I'm working on it. I'm a hacker wannabe so if I get going implementing all the software projects I've got in my head, I might climb a bit further.
