My story so far
THE FIRST 4 YEARS
I was born in October the 3:rd, 1977, at the hospital of Hassleholm. By then, I had two parents,
and two brothers. I am now down to one of each, but that comes later.
My home was in a small suburban area outside the larger but not very big city
of Tyringe. There was a lot of kids, and
a rail track was the northern border of my universe. It passed by a dump that
was in that end, and we sometimes went to the dump if we could time it with a
train and threw stuff on it.
Folowing the rail track, one reached some houses next to the church and the
burial grounds. I never went there, or to the closed down sawmill, they were
both to far away for me. Then on the south end, the road that conected
Tyringe and Hassleholm. I remember biking out there on my three-wheeler, and
my mother chasing after me, not wanting me to be on the road with the cars. I
was upset about it, thinking I could monitor the trafic.
The road crossed a creek that passed through a small forest. This bordered to a
construction site and then some bushlands I never visited, and then a
roadcross over the rail and that was my entire universe.
This, combined with lots of kids, made it a great place to grow up in. This
lasted until 1982.
UNDO AND REDO FROM START
I do not remember much of what happened next. Maybe I shall be happy about it.
What I do remember is that I went into the kitchen and saw my parents argue
about something and felt very unplesant about it. Next thing I remember is how
we put all our stuff in my uncle Charlies truck and move away. Daddy does not
come with us. Next memory, or it might have happened before that, is how I am
standing on my toes watching in through a window trying to get a glimps of the
inside of the house. That very room came to be my own room for many years.
When I write this in april 2004 I live with my mother and dispose that room
for my self.
Although there only passes a few days or weeks or months in this period, the memories of them is stored in totally diffrent places in my mind. The memories from Tyringe is in the fairy tale section, it could as well have been one thousand years ago, or happened to another person. The part after that goes into my "childhood to youth"- section, that covers up to my late teens. I realy started up a whole new life, at the age of four and a half.
For a few years I do not remember doing much but growing older. Then, I was
to attend "trafic school". It was like a pre-pre-school, where we where thought
to play nicely in trafic, watch both ways before crossing a street and such.
I thought it was boring, but what the heck.
At the age of
five I started pre-school. We mostly did thing of therapeuthic nature, had
some pedagogic teachings and where playing. I remember a guy teaching us about
the human body by showing a big multi layered poster, where he lifted them one
by one and got deeper into the body, until he reached the skeleton. From there
I remember the most important thing to be the handycraft sessions. We where
doing things, sewing or was in the wood shop. I liked the wood shop mostly, but
we where only alowed in there twice per kid, for the whole year! Would have
been better not to have it at all, I thought. And still think.
I also had my first encounters whith bulying, something that would follow me
for seven years. Much like the dream Pharao had in the Bible, with seven good
and seven bad years. Only I had 5/7.
Then, the year I had my 7:th birthday, I begun school. It is 1984.

Me and religion
Me and politics
My life in comics
Some strips I've found in various places on the web that I feel illustrates
some parts of my life, thoughts that I have been thinking or that I reconed
myself in in some other way that only I know why. Klick
here.
Me and computers
I am a geek, according to some. That is
not totaly untrue. Although I do have other interests. Some sort of a
life. But anyhow, how did I get here? Hmm.. My first experience with
computers was games on my cousins C-64.
Those where the days... But I
was the youngest in the group consisting of me, my brothers, and my
cousin, so I was never alowed to operate the computer, only the
joystick. I think I know more about computers now than all of them
together, oh sweet irony.
Now, it was back in
1993, just before
the internet-boom, I first sat down by a computer and did some stuff
of my own. This was on a 33 mhz 4:86 with DOS and Win 3.1, at my old
highschool. There I
learnt BBS, Basic Boring Stuff, such as MS-word etc. It did not take
me long before I hated it. Although I loved what one could do with a
computer, I was feed up with the software. I liked Microsoft less and
less.
The 3:rd and last year on highschool (in Sweden highschool
is 3 years) I attended a class in 'matemathics and programming'. There
I learnt about Pascal. I still
thinks Pascal is a cute programming
language, although I never uses it for anything any longer. I wrote a
game that was never finished that I ponder making GPL. The code is a
mess thogh, be aware.
The Pascal experience was my first step into
the geekhood, and 2 years after I graduated I begun at the University of Blekinge, in
1998.
After just one semester, my father died unexpectadly, and
I canceled my studies. 2 years later, I was back again and I was a
student once more.
Soon after I moved to Karlskrona for my studies, I
joined the FUKT computer
society. It was there I first heard about Linux and the only thing I knew about
it was that it was an option to Windows, wich I had not learned to
like better over the years. So I decided to try it, and I liked
it. This lead the initiation of my MIP, Microsoft Independent
Project. Today I am almost done, I use Windows only to play computer
games (Come on software industry and release games for Linux too!) and
paying my bills (since the amatures at the postgirot demands IE to acces their
systems).(Update: Postgirot now alows
Mozilla to use their site.)
When I
first heard about Linux, the only thing I knew
was that it was free, as in free beer. The concepts of Free Software,
GNU, GPL, Richard Stallman etc was totaly
unfamiliar to me. Over the years I have understund the values of
freedom and all that stuff. I will never go back to the slavery under
Windows again. This does not mean I think it is wrong to pay for
software, or that 'closed' or 'non-free' software is bad, it is the
'use this or die'-mentality of large software corporations like
Microsoft that I can not agree with.
Me and back-packing
Through out my childhood, my mother, grown up in a 300 inhab smalltown,
always took us kids to the forests for the
purpose to walk in it and enjoying it. This has made me love being
out there, where we humans belong, as I believe.
A few years ago, somewhere in the late
1990's, I were having
dreams. In these dreams I were walking in forests which were so
clean, and everything was so beautiful that it was beyond anything
imaginable in this world. And it filled me with a feeling of inner
peace and happiness. I was complete, at home.
This filled me with a desire, I wanted to have that feeling again, in reality.
So I started to daydream of long trips with me and my backpack in the wild.
Being free and independent. And the dreams turned into plans.
The summer of 2001 I packed my
pack and went out for my first trip, first a 1-day tour with all gear to check
out if my backpack, a
Berghaus Vulcan Cyclops II, would do. It did. Two
days later I left for the real trip, which lasted for 2 days. I then got other
things that occupied my mind, so I broke the trip there, and returned home.
Next year, 2002, I had some
experience so I had improved my equipment a
bit and felt more secure on my self. I set out for a 5 day trip, but
only did 2 days. This summer was the hottest since the swedish
institute for weather research, SMHI,
started their weather monitoring
1860. I had to break due to
the heat.
I now have a project, to go all the 1000 or so km's of the
Skåneleden, wich I plan to take into
year 2007 or
2008.
The experiences from this years trip was that 5 centigrade more heat
equals 10 kg more stuff in your backpack. I must pack lighter. No more
newbie-all-to-much-stuff-packing for me. I am becoming an
ultra-lighter. My
goal is to reduce the amount of stuff I carry to very low levels, and
go really really light. But
I feel, I will never stop hiking.
Me and girls
Me and beard
Frequently I get the question how come I wear a
beard (I had
extremly much facial hair here). It all goes back to when I finished of
highschool in 1996. I then got
this feeling I could do anything, having no serious plans for my future
life.
The only obvious thing to me was to grow a beard, just cus' I could. I have
had it ever since.
Me and music
Random thoughts
These are some ideas I have. Since I am a thinking person, some of these may
change by time. This is not a political manifest, rather a listing of some
things I believe in.
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
Expand. The only option we have to this today is coal-mills, and they pollute
more than nuklear plants, including "radioactive" emisions. The global warming
is the most important enviornmntal threat to the planet, and we can not
afford to be superstitious about such an important matter.
LETHAL PUNISHMENTS
Lock in and throw away the key if nessesary, but don't kill the guy. You can
not be totaly sure he did it, only that if you killed him, he won't get back
to life. If you did not gave life, you have not the right to take it away.
ABORTIONS
I believe the unborns are people too. Thus, it is not your life, and not your
body. Abortion is an emergency exit, and should be treated as such.
ANIMALS
Should be treated with respect, but they are not people. Don't die for one.
ISLAM
Would be nice if the muslims would actually start doing as Muhammed said in
his book.
