Day 259 - Year 0 - Apple Arcade waiting - 18.9.2019

It came to my attention that Apple Arcade will be launching 19.9.2019 with IOS13.

After reading some stuff and watching some nice presentations, I concluded, that I need this... 5 USD/month, and some of those games are really my style.

Well, at least I will try the free trial for 1 month...

However this makes me think.. because soon Google service Stadia will also come out, and that service is coming with even bigger and better games... 

Decisions, Decisions....

FYI - I am a dormant game addict...

Day 258 - Year 0 - 6:30 - 17.9.2019

If Mondays suck, this year Tuesdays are even worse.

Beatriz school had the brilliant idea of having Tuesdays and Fridays school starting at 8am... and that implies to get out of bed, zombie at 6:30.. Not very funny...

Day 257 - Year 0 - Yuck Day - 16.9.2019

Monday, Yuck....

But after being sick last week it was ok to come back to work...

Day 256 - Year 0 - Unbelievable - 15.9.2019

We started watching a new mini-series on Netflix called Unbelievable, a nice story, but it looked like poor actors in the beginning.

And we could not stop, till the end.. highly recommended, the live of the actor didn't went further, but the story is very good, recommended.

Day 255 - Year 0 - School Flea Marked - 14.9.2019

We like Loppemarked (flea marked), and I think I wrtote about this before, but just in case is used things that are given to schools for them to sell and get some money.

We came home with lots of books and more clothes for my "grandchildren".

Day 254 - Year 0 - Mindhunter - 13.9.2019

Have you ever watched Mindhunter Tv Series from Netflix? 

You should, it is mind blowing.. The second season has been out for a while, but only now I had time to watch it :) it is amazing!!!

But bear in mind that is a show about serial killers, with a very fast pace and a lot of mind games and you need to read in between the lines often...

Very very Good.... Waiting for Season 3 already..

Day 253 - Year 0 - Twitch - 12.9.2019

Manflu in recovery... day 2..

Today I feel much better, however still a very sore throat, and didn't took a chance to go outside in the cold, yes, it is cold in Norway.

So to spend the time in the computer not working, but trying to have  fun in between sneezes and throats clear.. 

Today I configured OBS and Twitch to stream games and camera to the web... sound like very youth in the 20's right? But I was streaming retro emulated games, so now it seems very old :)

I will stream more and more, if I have time....

Just check the channel...

Day 252 - Year 0 - ManFlu - 11.9.2019

In this 9.11 I will not write about towers, but about that terrible disease called man flu.

I am not sure if I wrote before about this, but this comes every 6 months and now it had hit strong.

For the first time in many years I have slept past 12pm, and feeling very very bad. Sore throat muscle pain, migraine... well the entire symptoms.

The good thing is that it normally lasts only 3/4 days..

My luck is that I have 2 very good nurses at home that are taking good care..

Day 251 - Year 0 - Winter - 10.9.2019

Winter has not arrived yet, but it is coming.

Rain, and very chilly mornings are here.

Today Beatriz went to Engineerium, a science museum where she was able to make experiences with her colleagues. I need to go there....

Day 250 - Year 0 - Valg Dag - 9.9.2019

Valg is selection, and dag is day.

Valgdag, Election day, and it was today. The election for Bydel, and Område (local and district, freguesia e distrito).

In Norway you are automatically registered as a voter if you are a resident for the last 3 years prior to election, but you are only entitled for this local election (as far as I know).

You get a voting card with all the information, where and howto at home, and off you go.

For Beatriz, it was free day, as her school was used for the election.

And yes, election day on a Monday.. not on a Sunday as in Portugal..

Day 249 - Year 0 - Play Play - 8.9.2019

Beatriz today called one of her friends, and went to play for a few hours.

Later we had a birthday party, Portuguese style... we arrived home rolling...

Damn.. Why do we eat so much?

Day 248 - Year 0 - Ikea - 7.9.2019

It has been a while since the last time we had visited Ikea.

But today we went to get some stuff and for some meat balls for lunch.

There is no video proof, but me and Beatriz we used the big Ikea karts as a scooter (trotinete) in the big corridors... It was fun...

Day 247 - Year 0 - iMac - 6.9.2019

Why Not?

Today I was browsing used computers in Finn.no that is the Norwegian equivalent of OLX, and I noticed a very nice and well conserved iMac from 2008.

The specs were not bad:

- 2,8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo 
- 4GB Ram 
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 
- 24 inch 1920x1080p 
- 320GB Harddisk
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- infrared remote

And for 100 Euros this makes a very nice media center...

Started talking with the gentlemen for any discount, and it lowers to 90 euro...

Bla bla bla, is the computer ok, any scratch, screen, etc... all good...

I mention I could pick up today, and I get a phone call, that if I would pick up right away, he was making 80 euros...

Well, I went..

Day 246 - Year 0 - Nothing Special - 5.9.2019

Ok so another day where nothing special had happened, what can I say, not really big deal.

Day 244 - Year 0 - Parents Meeting - 3.9.2019

Who doesn't love a 2 hour parents meeting at school.

I love it so much that I want Eva to have them... Off course, she is the Norwegian speaking grown up..

Go go!

Day 243 - Year 0 - Reports - 2.9.2019

Once upon a time a work colleague commented to me that the higher you go on hierarchy the more reports you have to do...

To be honest that is fairly accurate..

So, report report report....

Day 242 - Year 0 - Sunday - 1.9.2019

September as arrived, and outside we start to see falling leafs, temperature is falling every day, days are smaller and smaller...

At 20:30 is still day, but soon it will be night.

Autumn is coming very quick...

 

Day 241 - Year 0 - Verdens Kuleste Dag - 31.8.2019

Today we spent the entire day at Verdens Kuleste Dag (Earth Coolest Day) in Oslo. 

A lot of events for kids with a environmental message on multiple fronts.

It was very very nice, but we were too optimistic for the weather and it was windy and chilly...

It also included summer "ice" skating, that was nothing more that using ice skates in some teflon plates, very nice...
