A page about me

On a warm summer day in 1975 I saw daylight for the first time. I lived together with my family in Oslo until I finished high school in spring 1995. I moved on to Stavanger and Bergen, setting of for adventures in The royal Norwegian navy. After a year full of adventures I moved on to Kristiansand, the sunny capital of the southern coast.

I lived in Kristiansand for 3 years. Among other things I studied economics, mathematics and informatics at Agder College. During that period of time I also discovered the web and all its facilities. I moved back to Oslo and have lived here ever since. I sincerely miss Kristiansand and hope I can move back sometime in the future. (Well, I have lived in Bærum (just outside Oslo) for about two years as well).

During the days I lived i Kristiansand I worked in the postal service. At this time the italian movie Il Postino became popular in Norway. Il Postino means "the postman" in italian. From those days on I used the nick ilpostino on the web. To me, this could not become a better nick to use on the web being a movie-interested postman.

After working two years in a hardware-store in Oslo I thought it was about time to move on in my life. I decided to go back to school. I were studying for another three years. These studies where also related to computers. I had some hard time to get some computer related work, but I finally did. Currently I am working in the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs. This is a place I find interesting to work at.

At my spare time I keep up the knowledge I have when it comes to computering. I am also spending allot of time (and money) on movie theaters. My record at the moment is 50 movies in the movie theaters within a year. When I am not at work I am training (swimming), hanging out with some friends of mine, in front of a computer or in some movie theater.

In life there are certain rules I try to follow. Most of these are (of course) taken from Star Wars philosophy and Master Yoda. I have gathered some of this ethics at my ethics-page.

I am a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, I have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappointment in the long run but I am always trying to look upon things in a positive way. No matter what, I deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. I am a seeker of wisdom and a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning in my surroundings. I am a great thinker and communicator, but not always a doer.

A while ago I bought myself a Canon Powershot G9 and lots of accessories. I have planned to start photographing for some time but have not had the time to read and practice to become as good as possible. In time I will add pictures on this site. While not at work I swim 3 times a week.
