Well, I made it back from Norway. It took me a few extra hours as we sat on the runway in Detroit for 2.5 hours waiting for weather to clear (that was after waiting in the terminal for 2 hours before we got on the plane!). So after 24 hours of flying, I finally made it home to Woodinville about 3am.

 

I had a great trip! The weather was stunningly beautiful, my hosts were all amazing! I got to see Oslo and the Eastern Norwegian countryside. Everything with the wedding was perfect--the whole reason for the trip. Fredrik and Solveig had a beautiful ceremony and reception (from what people told me, the speeches were also quite moving and funny...alas i just drank wine and smiled while Norwegian and Danish flew around the table).

 

I really appreciated the relaxing time we spent at the Skarderud house in Skarnes. It was great to kick back, relax and enjoy good food and company--and world cup soccer on prime time tv! I lost a lot at Croquet, but a good time was had nonetheless.

 

MSN Spaces has adepted to changing times and is now compatible with Internet Explorer 7, so I have been able to post captioned pictures to an album on the site.

 

Enjoy!

apparently the Microsoft "Silo" issue has reared its ugly head. It has been a long standing issue for the company that different parts of the busines run independently and don't talk to other product groups. Well, I've finally been burned by it.

 

I have upgraded to Interenet Explorer 7 (Beta). It has a lot of great new features, and is very stable for a Beta. No complaints from me on the product. However, apparently by upgrading to Beta, I can no longer do anything with my photo sections of my MSN Space (this site). It requires IE6 and won't work with IE7.

 

So I can't do anything with them until MSN Spaces catches up and starts working with IE7. I hope it is soon as my group at work manages the IE7 website and I believe we have over 5 million people around the world using IE7 now.

 

such is life I guess.
