Ah. My home machine is back up meaning [Feedable](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/SiteFeeder/) is live again and so is The [Regulator](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/regulator) site. For some odd reason, the only person in the world who can **not** access these sites is little ol' me from Norway. Ah well, as long as you all have you fun.. Also, here are some tips for your first week in Norway : - Disregard the first day entirely.  Everything will look better int he morning (although the sun only rises at about 9.45 am at winter here) - Norwegian Keyboard layouts suck. I haven't had this many typos since my cåt jumped on my keyboarf ;) - If you don't eat meat, don't come here, or use the BYOF principle(Bring your own food). (I'm not a veggie, but my wife is and it was not easy) - Norwegians are quiet people. So quiet that it took me a week to actually fully hear and remember the names of the people here. - Get ready for some amazing landscapes - get ready to spend LOTS of money. This is the most expensive place I have ever seen. Some examples: McDonald's meal costs about 35-40$, white boards for your office (the ones you can write and that erase), simple freaking white boards costs around 500$ each (yes, five hundred dollars each). And going to the supermarket here is..well.. an economic "experience". ## More in .Net Original [All posts in .Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original) - Dec 25, 2003 ### [My First \*real\* SQL optimization (and some good resources)](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/12/25/my-first-real-sql-optimization-and-some-good-resources.html) - Dec 20, 2003 ### [Problem and solution: Renaming htm file to aspx may cause javascript trouble](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/12/20/problem-and-solution-renaming-htm-file-to-aspx-may-cause-jav.html) - Dec 18, 2003 ### [Homesick, EIF and a session state FAQ](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/12/18/homesick-eif-and-a-session-state-faq.html) - Dec 18, 2003 ### [My first MSDN article is out: Creating a plugin framework](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/12/18/my-first-msdn-article-is-out-creating-a-plugin-framework.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
