Items for the non-Norwegian speaking

 

Background

 

I started this web site 25 years ago after tra­vel­­ling in Spain and Portugal (see the last item on this page) and went on to use it also for marketing a patented system for dis­playing CDs on the wall (see penultimate item).  Both stories ended quickly. For many years the site lay without further develop­ment and no other use than as a storage and reference place for my publications as a researcher in health economics.

 

In the fall of 2023 I started filling the site with all kinds of stuff that I have been dealing with during my life, pluss – not in the least - data on sun conditions at 400 cafes and bars in Oslo with outdoor seating – data that I collected by biking all over the city and using a sun estimation app I developed with two friends a few years ago.  Press HERE for an example of the outcome and scroll down to photos and diagrams combining skylines with sun curves for different times of the year. Press ‘Hjem’ to go back.

 

The site is now a ‘bazaar’ of sorts. Recently (August 2024) it caught attention from a couple of local newspapers and the main radio channel for Oslo. I am told that it is about to become popular among young people. Great fun for me!

 

Below are a few items accessible to people who do not understand Norwegian.
