jon torresdal - Five things you didn’t know about me

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

During the last month I’ve seen every living blogger in my rss reader getting tagged. Since I’m quite new to the blogging world I guess I’ll have to start this off myself if it’s ever going to happen. So here it goes; five things you didn’t know about me:

I used to have very long hair. On a late Saturday night in a nightclub I was standing in a (dark) corner talking to some of my mates when this guy came over and asked me if I wanted to dance! There was total silence for about 5 seconds before he realized I was a guy. The next day I cut my hair short!
I served in the army in north of Norway (Bardufoss) for 2.5 year. One year was mandatory (by law), but I got a job offer after I finished my service, so I stayed. I was an officer driving around in one of these.
I didn’t finish my university degree. I hadn’t much left, but the job offers where just too tempting. I even took 6 months off work to study at UTS (University of Technology Sydney), getting a nice tan down under and traveling all of the east coast of Australia. Coming home after that trip, working was much more tempting than studying and my work experience exceeded my education anyway, at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
From when I was 5-6 years old to I was about 14 I played football (soccer) almost every day. I also played regularly for our local football team. The only problem was that I sucked! I never got any good, not even remotely good, so I gave it all up. The funny thing though is that it took me 9 years to figure it out!
My first computer was a Sharp MZ 700 at the age of 9. I remember I got a magazine with some BASIC code and that was my first experience with software development. After that it was C64, Amiga 500, 600, 1200 and quite late in life a PC (300 MHz).

Ok, now I’ll tag Torbjørn Marø, Bård Strøm, Trond Aarø, Per-Ove Joakimsen and Sondre Bjellås.
