Friday last week was the first day of the white and frosty comeback. Snow has since that day been covering everything, and tempatures went down to -8 degrees Celsius (17,6 F)  – this is not my favorite kind of weather so to say. . . I do hate it acctually. (n)

At saturday Jasmine celebrated her 8th birthday at Skojlandet with her friends.  Alot of fun, and we ended the day with her grandfather Reijo at McDonald’s.

Monday was a long day, I went away in the morning around 08:00 (8 am) and came back 23:00 (11 pm). We had some work in Skövde todo, and all was delayed some hours because of the slippery roads.

Now I’m off again to work, a little late, this tuesday morning – another day in winterland.

. . . a real one, about the other day when I went up in the morning and thought I would make people happy, how wrong I could be. :s

It all started with a payment made to a banking-account of ours – 4000 kr ($590) from a company called XXXX that was not suppose to go to us, there was a mistype of 2 numbers – a misstake made by the bank when they deciphered the depositnote from their customer.

I waited until our bank opened and went there to correct the error. The bank explained nicely that they could not do anything about it, and said wispering: “If You are honest You can look up the sender in the phonebook and send them their money back.” 😮

Honest? Well, how stupid would I be to go to the bank first, explain everything – then be a thief and keep the money not meant for me? Hello?!?

Well, I walked out of the bank and phoned the phonecompany, but they had no record of any company named XXXX, so I went away to the nearest bank, and in my mind I thought “if i just find the right bank it will be solved” – how wrong I was – again. The bank replied: “We are not allowed to releave any information about our customers”.

Ready to give up I went back home and tried for fun to type the company name in google. Belive it or not – there it was! I found it – and a phone-number! I phoned them and they answered correctly of what was written in the “subject” line for the deposit – I found them at last. :d

And now You ask if they was as happy as I was to found them? Well,,, I got a “thankyou” anyway…

Question is if I will go through all this if it happens again – honestly no way!

(I will use google first!) 😉

Woke up at 7am this morning and our daughters got to open one christmas-gift each that santa had delivered during the night. (g)
Later in the afternoon we went to my mother & father and celibrated christmas. Santa came with more christmas-gifts and aspecially Malva was really excited and gave him a big hug. The gifts was opened and we sat down at the table to eat alot of great X-mas food.

Now it’s time for me and Susanna to relax with some wine after our happy little girls went to sleep at last. (d)

Have a great and merry X-mas all !!

Me and Susanna watched the launch of the STS-116 Discovery tonight. We are very proud of that one of the crew is swedish – Christer Fuglesang:

The STS-116 crew members will dock to the International Space Station, install the new P5 truss structure and perform three spacewalks to rewire the station for electricity generated by a solar array delivered in September. Christer will perform one of the spacewalks. 🙂

We will continue to follow this exiting mission in space.

For several months I’ve been searching the net for possible solutions for my lifebook issues with the integrated Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG network-card.

The issues is that I got it working fine before I re-installed WinXP Pro Sp2 and a PC-card that enables me to surf mobile via G3 and GPRS network. After that, the IntelPRO Wireless 2200BG just can’t find any availible networks. I’ve tried everything and re-installed the drivers alot of times. Finally I installed the latest Intel drivers insted of the drivers from Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook site, and I networks was found. 🙂
But only for 10 minutes, then connection was abrupted and no network was found. If I restart the lifebook I could connect for some minute some times, but 80% of the time no network was found. :s

So, I gave up and purchased a wireless USB adapter from Netgear – it worked perfect instantly !! It found several networks including my own, and now I can surf wireless. :d
