New degree and job

Alexander Wigen — 2007-05-16T00:00:00+01:00

Hi guys, long time since my last update. So much has been going on. Got a new job, with a company called EditShare. It's a storage solution for video editing and I am the their IT guy for the Australia branch. I get to work with Linux all day long so I am happy. I finished my previous degree (Bachelor of Information Technology). My graduation ceremony will be this December (14.12.07) and everyone is invited... hint hint Got a new car again, the other car (the magna) was a piece of you know what. This is a newer Falcon than the one that was stolen and it hasn't had to many hickups yet. My so called friend Paul svindeled it on me I have been telling myself to put some new photos up here, but I must not be listening. Very busy with uni and work so not a much time to do anything else

New car, again...

I just bought a "new" car today, again. My last car, a Ford Falcon, was stolen outside my house. The car I bought today is a Mitsubishi Magna 1988 station wagon with auto, aircon and power steering. I will pick it up tomorrow. Other than that I now have a part time job over at Computer Alliance selling IT stuff. There has been very few pictures put on the website the last year or so. This is because my old camera was stolen. Today I also bought a "new" digital camera of e-bay for $50. So now I will start putting some more pictures on here. I have to get back to my horrible assignments, till next time! Adios

Congratulations Ian!

First a shout out to my good old friend Ian who has finally got a pilot job for Norwegian, which means he will be moving from Czechia and back to Norway. That's great news. We will make some interesting R/C projects when I get back. Wow almost ten months since the last update. That's a new record, though that's not a good thing. Well, I'm back in Australia and have moved into a house in Coorparoo which I share with my roommate Christian. My current phone numbers are on the 'about me' page as always. The work load this semester has been very intense but the semester is almost over now and I can't wait to have a little vacation. My Information Technology Project is almost finished, we have used two semesters and over 2000 hours to create taximanager.com.au. It's an application which allows management of taxis and it should be taken into full use shortly. There is only one individual assignment before all deliverables for this subject are done. I found this funny and amazing video clip on the net: Traffic in India. I don't know their road death tolls, but they must be high. I see there is quite an amount of spam posted in the comments by spam robots, I will be dealing with that shortly...

My Birthday

Alexander Wigen — 2005-08-08T00:00:00+01:00

So I'm 26... not very exited, I have noted my decremental counter is getting closer to zero. Thanks for all the greetings and gifts! I'm back at Uni and tomorrow morning I've got a meeting with a client in our Information Technology Project. The project has a one year lifespan. We are six people developing a taxi "system". Not sure yet what the system is supposed to do, but I'll find out tomorrow. I'm also working on a big assignment in Operating Systems which might be a bit of fun when it starts working.

Semester Break

Here's a monthly update. Today I received a package from Norway with lots of Norwegian chocolate and other goodies, but that chocolate will tip the scale in the wrong direction Thanks a lot! Over the last month I've been to Sydney , caught the flu and brought it back with me. I also picked up my "new" model aero plane, a Dago Red Mustang. Which looks something like this: To fly it I had to join the local RC aero club (Tingalpa Model Aero Club). They have an excellent flying field and the Mustang flies great! It's a big club with over 230 members! It's winter in Brisbane, the temperature has been as low as nine degrees! By the way it's summer in Stavanger now and I have put up a monitor that compares Brisbane and Stavanger that you can have a look at. I also added a RSS feed to this page (if you don't know what a RSS feed is or what to do with it, don't worry about it) its: http://wigen.net/rss.php

Study week

Alexander Wigen — 2005-06-09T00:00:00+01:00

Wow, two and a half months since my last post, that's some kind of record! Well, it's winter in Australia and it's getting chilly... I'm talking about wearing a sweater outside after the sun goes down!! Not what I signed up for... Apart from studying there isn't a whole lot happening lately. This week is study week and then there is two weeks of exams. When I'm through that I have got almost four weeks off!

Easter

About time

Alexander Wigen — 2005-03-20T00:00:00+01:00

Only two months since the last update... 'bout time for a few words. Im of course back at uni, but in Brisbane this time. The Nathan campus is larger than the Gold Coast campus and seems pretty nice. Have settled into the house now and starting a routine. Uni will be pretty hard this semester as I am missing the pre-requisites in two subjects. I was on the track this Sunday which was nice but I was really rusty! Anyways, cheers for now
