About
The person
30 years old, IT-consultant. Born and raised in Århus, living in Copenhagen.
The work
Enterprise Architect, Community Manager, management consultant (and dot-com millionaire the next time the bubble comes around). More on Linkedin.
Fairly geeky. Can’t come near a computer without installing Firefox or Chrome, setting you up with a Last.fm account and trying to convince you to start blogging, tweeting or something similar. Programming was never really my thing though…
The “Bering Express” story
Back in 1999 I started experimenting with webpages, producing horrible acts of HTML with the obligatory “under construction” GIF’s and flashing buttons. Luckily those experiments have passed under the radar of the Wayback Machine.
When I started university in 2000 I also started taking a more serious interest in webpages, at least the technical stuff. Content-wise I tried to make it as silly as possible. So instead of starting a navel-gazing weblog (like this one), I published a fake newspaper where I wrote semi-biographical news about myself. I modelled the layout, logo and colors after The Sun. Years later the name (and parts of the color scheme) still stick.
Over the course of time the fake newspaper has turned in to a weblog, and I’ve become better at producing content, rather than just adding snippets of code that do something funny. Browse the archives at your own peril, only stuff from march 2003 and onward has survived (and only in Danish).
Having a weblog keeps getting more and more interesting. It’s a great way to keep in contact with old friends, and (surprisingly) a great way to make new ones as well.
