Hmm, here we go I guess.. First of all, theese where shot before I got my 10D. They where shot with a P&S called Minolta DiMage Xt which is my fathers. So quality sucks. They where shot to show fellow geeks exactly the same as we're all showing each other now. How do we live.. But I got a picture of the desktop there, so I just use it. Believe me, things have at least not getten _ANY_ tidier, clearly oppsite after I no longer have a GF to clean it every now and then =)

vvizard:
How does someone in Norway develop such mastery of English? Your language skills are way beyond what they teach in high school----even by Norwegian standards, I'm sure.

You're quite an impressive young fella.

Tom

Belmondo: Actually I have no clue. I didn't even know that I spoke good english (by english standards). I know I speak fairly good english by norwegian standards, but what to expect? I've spent _WAY_ to many hours a day in front of a computer-screen since I was 7 years old. I've surfed the Internet from it's "start" (as we (most people) know it), and dialed BBS's before that. The first couple of years I think I used my dictionary more than my keyboard Beeing 10 years old, home alone, surfing the net really force you into knowing how to spell "p**sy" in english Then with the years, I've luckily come to use computers/Internet for more "serious" things (as can be seen from my bookshelf I guess ) But I think it all boils down to one simple fact. Most things on the Internet are written in English, and when you spend several hours a day reading articles on the net, participating in english forums, and hanging out on english chat-channels on IRC, you pick up something along the way. You have to! Cause I've been sleeping through english-class (and most other classes for the sake of the matter) at high-school with severe hangovers, still getting good grades. Guess I'm just lucky But this year I'm taking the required math/physics for engineering, and those I can't sleep through. Believe me, I tried last year

That was another long post by me, and hopefully it doesn't contain too many spelling-errors. I have to admit I paid more attention to the letters in this post than I usually do, so here's my english at it's best (without a dictionary though)

So if you think I speak english good, then thanks. I seriously had no clue about that =) I'm normally the person who excuses his lack of english-skills in chatrooms when making the first post. And usually the replies have been: "No need to excuse, you're not any worse than most of the other foreigners" =) At least I've _NEVER EVER_ heard anyone tell: "No need to excuse, your english is good!" =)

So happy shooting

I'd be willing to bet you've learned how to spell lots of words you can't use here. Also, I'd be willing to put your command of the language up against at least half the 'native-speakers' who post here---myself included.

I can't imagine the thought processes involved in being bi-lingual (or bi-anything for that matter). I've often regretted taking Latin in school, but back then, that was the thing to do for 'academic majors.' About the only thing it's been good for is to have a little insight into some of the legal terms that are commonly thrown around in business.

We're lucky to have you amongst us.

Tom

Bi-lingual (what's an english word I didn't know ) isn't to bad when you start with it early enough. Around age 9 or so in the norwegian school-system. It doesn't get fun until you start to get quad-lingual (can I say that? ) or better I rate my language skills like this:

1) Norwegian
2) PHP
3) English
4) C++
5) New-norwegian

I am convinced that PHP will become the "official" language of the world, it should, it is so much more fun than English

Yes indeed it is! and it's great for late-night or drunken coding, since it's accepting virtually unlimited sloppyness compared to other high-level languages (computer-language or not =))

Tom, you forget that pretty much most of the rest of the free world outside of the US (except for perhaps the French ) speak at least another language or more, and do so as a matter of fact. It doesn't change the fact that Wizard is indeed an impressive fella.

Pretty good - I think I managed to offend two countries in one post!!

Drunken coding - I've never heard of that one, but I suppose that's safer then drunk driving or an even more hazardous practice called beer-goggling.

I don't necessarily believe in reincarnation, but if I do get a second chance, I promise to try to do better.

Wait...... I can count to twelve in Swedish. Does that count?

Ilya this was such a great idea...I am enjoying it a lot.
Here is my mess
