Update 2012: Thief Cellar? There’s been a flurry of media reports about new products sold at too-low prices in the location I mentioned here three years ago. This is a hint about a flea market in Malmö. Electronics flea market, we don’t have in Malmö, but I recommend “Tjyvkällarn” and Marknadsbörsen on weekends, the latter …

Hairdresser
My hairdresser looked like Mona Seilitz, I said, to my workmates. “No, she looks more like Elisabeth Höglund from SVT.” Update: Note that none of these photots depict my hairdresser.
Hack-a-thon, in my town!
More groups of people who want to fiddle with opensource software: Hackaton.se. They have an event in Malmö, at a school, 23-25 november. Just to let you know, so you can spread the word. I’ll write more when I know more. Update! An attentive reader, also being the organizer of the upcoming event emailed me, …
Moved to Malmö
Sweden’s third-largest town (270 000 inhabitants in the City, 600 000+ in the metro area) was initially called Malmhaugen (“Gravel heap”) – Wikipedia told me, so it’s true. Now, the name of the town is Malmö. And it is my town. And, Luisa’s. My address is Löjtnantsgatan 8B, 21150 Malmö, so update your address containers. …
Malmo Ho!
Pulling up the pegs, moving tents! Destination: Malmo, Lojtnantsgatan 8b. July 22 is the move day. Very little furniture, some books, some loose junk. Mostly, it’s a social occasion, so come join us.

Copenhagen garden houses

Also, this is where I try to describe the Scandinavian idea of tending a garden in a club. A koloni-have (“colony garden”, a garden lot with a wee house, organized in a …
How to get a dentist in Sweden
Update 2012: I now go to Slottsstadens tandläkargrupp. An elegant gentleman called Semi fixes my teeth. (The rest of this blog post concerns my choices in 2006. Cheers.) In Denmark, dentistry is prohibitively expensive. People go to Sweden to fix their teeth. First, you need a good one to go to. Here is the guy …
Denmark is Dead: Great programmer booted out of the country
My neighbour Sean Treadway today posted a sad post – he is getting kicked out of the country: > So that’s all folks Denmark has evaluated that my contribution to the country through my freelance work is not of significant value.
