Here you will soon find some good links, as well as some info about what
I get up to at work and play - Enjoy!
I was born in Linköping in 1968, although my childhood was spent
in Örnsköldsvik, more exactly
in the village of Järved, whose ice-hockey team are justly famous
in that vicinity. I visit my family in a cottage down by the sea in Hålviken
as often as I can. So I am an Ö-Viking
, one of those wandering the wide world.
I work as a Sr Programmer for
eSignal, based out of Des Moines, Iowa,
USA.
