For the last week i have modified and added a lot of new stuff to my blogengine.net blog, it is ready for publishing but it still needs a little tweaks here and there.

Enjoy!

Change log:

• I've integrated SyntaxHighlighter 2.0 from Alex Gorbatchev into Blogengine.net
• more to come..

I took by motorcycle drivers license, in the spring last year. 

It was quite a struggle to go through the last summer without being able to cruise in the warm breeze, and that's why i coulden't let that happen this summer! ;)

So I'm now the proud owner of a Yamaha XV250 Virago, which has driven some miles, so I've been fixing the outer parts and got the part that needed a change for the past week.

And yesterday it was time to fire it up, and it sounded awesome! and drives like a dream, and now I'm only waiting on the weather!

I'll post some more pics later on, right now it's in a garage as you can see.

Finally after a long struggle with my old host, which went bankrupt.

I was able to get my data stored local and my domain transferred, but all this haven't been possible if it wasn't from my current host wendt-net, which got me settled in on his host on the 25. December, and not only that! ..he also refunded the hosting i had left on the old host, so a big thanks to wendt-net for the awesome help!

I've finally gone *dual screen* at home, after some years with my little 19" i thought it was time to get a little more room on my digital desktop, so that why i bought this amazing Philips 240BW8EB.

I'm pretty impressed with the image quality, taking the price in consideration. It's a great buy and i can recommend it to all who want to have a big, cheap and good full HD LCD monitor. 

If you want to see images of how it's displaying image etc, then just leave a comment, and I'll post some pics. I've taken af color test, you can check out the resoults here: Monitor color test

My new blogengine.net blog is now up and running!

I have finally got my new computer build, and it is now up and running pretty good.

• Graphic card: MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT

I've recently passed and finally received my drivers license both to car and motorcycle, so no more theory lessons which I'm very happy about :P

Now i just need a car and a motorcycle, but i think that will have to wait a little yet, especially with those fuel prices ;)
