Well I am here, and I am leaving for Sweden in a few hours, as we are going to celebrate the new year over there with friends. 10 kids from ages 1-10 and 7 adults. (ages 30-35) :)

I am hoping that 2010 wil also bring me some more time to be in here, and some more knowledge of webdesign.

Happy New year everyone!

The snow is quite hard where i am. At first it was soft, but now it's so frozen, you can actually stand on top of the piles without falling through.

We just got powdered snow here... DV where are you at?

Oh and has anyone made any exciting new years resolutions?
Mine are:
- Running more, and perhaps even run the half-marathon this year.
- Learning CSS. Already found a tutorial that I want to follow, and made myself some form od plan so I can mess it up... :rolleyes:
- Learning PHP. Might get moved to next years resolutions, so I can focus on CSS this year.
- Finding time to make CWF even better.
- Finding time to make Connect-webdesign.dk better - but I think that might get worked in with learning CSS, so it wont steal time from CWF.

Happy no year everyone!!!

I'm back from my winter vacation, so expect to see me around here more often again. And maybe I will even validate some games or add them to the database...

I'm in north Jutland, just west of Aalborg. I didn't actually expect as much snow as we got, but i like it. It's not too much, but it is something.

Ok cool. The snow has gotten thicker here, and they are expecting minus 10 Celsius tonight, so I am thinking the snow might get thicker during the weekend. The uncool thing is that I have to ride my bike to work monday morning at 6.30... That will be some cold 7 kilometers. Thankfully it is only 7 kilometers!

My brother-in-law just more or less dared me to participate in my first 10 kilometer run this year already next month, and then a 15 the month after that and a 20 a month after that. Its called the Nike Marathon test 1+2+3. I am considering the dare, but I am not sure I can hit the shape needed that early in the year. I have some other races that I want to sign up for, so its not like I am not going to train.

What's no year? :D

New Year brought me router trouble, so I may be offline for a short time, hopefully very short. Apart from this lots of snow here and frost from time to time, but nothing spectacular.

See everybody soon. :D

There was a measurement of -17C today in Denmark. :) So plenty of frost here. :)
Its freezing!!! I had to go pick up some stuff today by car, and after being outside for 2-3 minutes my hands hurt - and I am the kind of guy who wears shorts into late autumn, and walk around the apartment barefoot no matter the season, so I dont get cold that easy!

I am the kind of guy who wears t-shirts when it's plus 5, but for some reason I cannot walk around barefoot, my feet immediately get cold; must be some blood circulation problems, because my hands also get cold very easily.

No router problems as I thought, only my ethernet card drivers disappeared after xp reinstallation, so I'm back online, because Ive found them.

So far this year, my business is doing well. Very well. Had a man call yesterday, asking if he could buy eight laptops from me, basic P3 units. We agreed today to $1,100 dollars for the lot. With brand new batteries, DVDROMs, and 40 GB HDDs with Windows XP. They are all going to a youth program that needs them.

Someday, by February I hope, I want to post another picture of the overview of my railway and let everyone see some progress on it. But, time will tell if I have any of time to work on the layout.

Congrats Raillo! I love it when people gets their business well off the ground. Might have something to do with my own business :rolleyes:.

The trip to work was exactly as cold as I thought it would be, just so you know! Me with coffee ---> :chug:

Forget that i said it's not too much snow. Now we're having a regular snowstorm. Some bus-lines are closing down because of the weather. I barely made it home today before the bus i'm taking, stoppped. I was on the last run :)
I'ts also getting quite deep now, about 30 - 40 cm.

Dang, I miss winters with 40 cm of snow. I miss them especially because I was half the meter shorter when such winters were normal in here, so the walls of snow appeared even bigger.

I should move permanently to Sweden or Denmark perhaps? :D

No. It's actually quite unusual to get weather like this. Normally we just get boring weather with little snow and rain, and generally just cold.
