Germany, here we come!

I am off tomorrow, going to Germany to buy lots and lots of alcoholic beverages. It’s so much cheaper in Germany that you wouldn’t believe. We bought lots for the wedding last year and it lasted almost a year. We are going to buy lots this year too, but not really as much as last year. It’s nice to have a well filled bar though. 🙂

So tomorrow my army buddies, Peter Johansson and Daniel Bille, are going abroad. A long way to drive but it’s gonna be fun.

We are sleeping over at Daniel’s house today to get an early start tomorrow. He has promised us bbq tonight. Nice!

Wedding Photo Session

Found this video of our photo session with Dan Läck on our wedding day. I had been talking for a couple of minutes about the wedding and photo session when it turned out than Dan had not filmed me while I was talking, but instead pressed record on the camera when I was finished. 🙂

No vacation

Chiquita and I are not taking any vacation this year due to us going to Australia for 5 weeks in February/Mars next year. It has been a dreadful summer here with few days to take advantage of me working less (my work cuts one hour a day during summer) and the the sun setting after 10 pm. This, however, means I have been able to enjoy Tour de France and not worry about staying in when the sun is shining (since it hasn’t been shining at all!). To bad with all the doping scandals though.

Anyway, so no vacation for us this year. We are saving all our money for the Asia/Australia trip. I will post (or hopefully Chiquita who makes all the plans will post) more information about our trip later. All our money is not correct though. I really want a new computer, one that does make so much noice! And I’m going to Germany on friday with Peter Johansson and Daniel Bille. We are going to buy lots of beer, wine and spirits.

But, what I wanted to say is that it is starting to feel, that we are not haveing a much deserved break from work and just have time to fully relax. All others have had that time and when they get back its full steam ahead again whereas I have not had a break but still I will steam ahead just as fully. Probably you are going to forget about when once you are in it but I love vacation, I wanna have more vacation (paid of course).

So think of us all you vacation goers! We will think of you when we go, how lucky we are to avoid the winter 😉

My latest track: Come Down To My House (2007 Trance Remix)

This is the latest tune I have created. It is actually a remake or remix of an old song I made in Cakewalk in 1996 (I think). This time the sound is updated and improved. I’m using Cubase, Reason, and lots of VST Synths (mostly Vanguard). My work colleague Juhani did the new (compared to the old version) lead and I just tweaked it a little.

Come Down To My House (2007 Trance Remix)

Crank it up!

Edit: I was trying to get another WordPress plugin to work with my mp3 but it just wont work. To bad as it would have enabled you to listen to the song without having to download it first. Anyway, I will keep an eye on the plugin (it is only version 0.1).

Edit 2: Found another mp3 plugin which after a little tweaking and hacking looks like something that I want. Now you can preview mp3 files by pressing the little play button to the left of the mp3 link. Enjoy!

Edit 3: Found a third mp3 plugin that does more or less exactly what it is that I want. It’s lovely and very simple. Nice! Thanks to Mark Wheeler and David Singleton for their 1 Bit Audio Player.

Edit 4: Found out that my VBR encoded file didn’t play with the plugin but after re-encoding the track to CBR 192 it seems to work fine. Ah, well. 😉

Jack, eating on his own

Chiquita and I were in Stockholm visiting Suzana (Chiquitas sister), Dan and Jack. This video is taken from when we had a little break before shopping at Gallerian. Jack was very lively and I wanted to catch this on film.
