Over the last few weeks a strange noise has started to worry me when driving. It sounds like the engine is running without any oil, which in turn makes a very unpleasant tone. Very much like a opera singer missing the high (highest) C over and over again. I decided to take my car, a “beautiful” Nissan Serena, to the mechanics.

After less than an hour this nice Spanish guy had the car ready for me again which is unheared of here in Spain, mañana is more like it… Not only was the car back in perfect condition, but he also let me have it back without charging me. Would you believe it?!

I’ve just moved into a new house, a so called fully-furnished townhouse here in Spain. I was happy to find a rather decent sound system in the living room. The owner is probably as “techi” as I am and has cables from the living room up to the bedrooms on the second floor. This allows you to bring the music to most parts of the house.

The speakers are made by Bose, and given their size the sound is surprisingly good. You can almost feel the bass when you turn the sound up a bit, but it’s not even close to my old Dali’s I used to have back in Norway. It might be the Pioneer amp that pulls it down a bit as well, since this is far from powerful.

My old Dali’s were driven by a big NAD power amp which gave you the closest thing to Hi End given its moderate price compared to the insanely priced enthusiast systems. Anyway, life is now good again. You wouldn’t believe how much I missed having a proper sound system. It’s almost funny watching a movie on my tiny 21″ TV with cinema-like sound…

When I can afford it I’ll probably be out looking for a new Hi-Fi to upgrade the one that followed the house, but I can’t see that happening in the next few days to be honest. But the recent upgrade is anyway something I can live with for a while.

I’ve been looking into this “new” thing called blog for a while now and haven’t really seen the point of having one since I’m already running a website of my own. BUT (there’s always a but isn’t it…) lately as the site has grown and the content seams to be targeted towards a specific group of people (webmasters) I feel that there’s things I want to write that makes no sense whatsoever on a commercial level. Therefore after much (a huge bunch actually) consideration I’ve decided to create my own blog in order to express personal views on life as I stumble through it.

The opinions and views are of personal nature and should be treated that way. I may change my mind multiple times as I grow from experience. If you for some reason feel the urge of commenting any of my posts please try to be as objective as I’m subjective

This is however not the place to make notes, questions and / or requests related to the material found at the mother-site. This will most likely be ignored and definitely not given any serious attention. Need support? Go see the forum…
