ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 21st October 1999

Welcome, Dear Unknown Visitor! If you don't see me around, please help yourself to a pggb . If you grow tired of drinking those while waiting, you can always drop a message smiley .

Who am I?


I'm a Dane -- that is, from Denmark. There is an excellent National Geographic article about "Civilized Denmark" to be found out there (hint: you might search the web for "Civilized Denmark"). To read it and see the wonderful pictures accompanying it, you'll have to buy or borrow the July 1998 issue of the magazine. Highly recommended!

In fact, here's an absolutely wonderful quote from that same article:

Sober-faced Danes queue at the bus stop in the rain, which they do not flinch at, and it dawns on you that a daylong rain is not unusual, this is a North Atlantic winter. The sun won't shine tomorrow, maybe not the next day. You have arrived in a land where Christmas means more than in, say, Barbados; it is the last outpost on the long grim trek toward spring. Dark gray sky at noon, dull brown brick all around, dead trees, broken glass in the gutter, and you, sorry you, your head like a sponge full of mud. At first you think it's jet lag, and then you realize that everyone else feels this way too. Welcome to the birthplace of existentialism.

I'm 28 and some months1, living in a forestry and green (well, green during the summer that is) north-western part of greater Copenhagen.

Music

I like stuff like:

The links in the list are not the strongest collection, I guess -- but good for starting points. Some are in Danish -- after all, some of the artists are Danish...

If there are some of these you haven’t got a clue about, don’t worry. Chances are that you’re just not Danish enough. Or you might be significantly younger than me. Or -- you might in fact have a different taste in music... winkeye

My H2G2 CV:

A proud Salonista!

Link to Lil's Atelier.

The Salonistas? An irresistible force that stops frequently for tea breaks winkeye . Or maybe, more precisely described as on the main page for Lil's Atelier: "A core group of really interesting humans, animals, insects, uncategorisables, ETs and desperados with substantive things to say on an incredibly wide range of Subjects".

It is really true, as you are kindly reminded on every page of every thread, that "Social Life Begins and Ends With Etiquette". One warning: We do tend to talk a lot - so if you fear backlog, please be advised to get over that fear... winkeye

Now with proper day naming!

I'm a Thursdayite!
space space space space space space space space space Thursday -
Always has been called Thursday,
space always will be called Thursday

A fine morning?

Cheer up? Why???

It might well be a fine morning. In fact, most of them are smiley . However, in case it isn't, it just isn't. OK? Capisce? At P.U.D.D.I.N.G. we deserve every right to be grumpy about it!

ex-ACE

The badge below is a reminder from the time I "did time" as an ACE, or Assistent Community Editor. The reason for my escape ;) was quite simply that I did not feel I had the time to do the job in a manner I found appropriate. Too many people to greet, too little time...
The ACES are complete volunteers and spend their free time helping and making people feel welcome, so please be nice to them if you see them. You can find them using the tools below - I'm sure they'd appreciate a hello and well done!

Road of time
4 Weeks Ago

How fleeting time is
And not only fleeting but fickle, too
Even when you’ve spent probably half of yours
It still seems as if there are aeons of it
Stretching out in front of you

It does go on forever, that road
Second by second as meters, hour by hour as miles
Dusty, sun-washed, rain wet, flat and easy, hilly and hard
As you travel along it, whether crusing or struggling

But – because there is a but
Even if the road stretches to the horizon, unbroken
There is, sadly, no guarantee that you get to go that far

Stray off it’s course too much
And you may strand in the ditch
Focus all too much on the one goal at the end of it
And you may well run short of fuel way before you get there
Whether fuel for you is success, love, friendship or just simple quiet

And maybe you have achieved the balance
You are doing just fine, not too fast and not too slow
Only for somebody in front of you, by sheer accident, to drop a nail or a shard
And suddenly, pfffft, puncture and you’re not going anywhere

And the thing is, on this road
You cannot stop
If you do – whether you wanted it or not
There is no starting again

You’ll just stay where you are
And everything else moves along
While you fade away
And becomes the dust on the surface
That the next ones travel on

The road doesn’t care
Whether you’ve come far or just started
If you travel well and in style
Or if you crawl labouriously along
And it doesn’t know the meaning of fair and unfair

It just continues and continues
And all that’s left to you is to make the best of it
While you travel along

So, dear fellow travellers, remember to enjoy the view
Remember those next to you on the road
Remember yourself
Be sure that you collect what you want in your heart
As you go along

Because you don’t know
Where or when your stop sign comes up
And the road, your road, isn’t any longer.

And you’ve run out of time.

----------

- just what came out when I heard the sad news yesterday about my cousin fighting for his life in the hospital. How I’d like to see him back on his bike and rolling further down his part of the road.

A light for my inner eye
Feb 24, 2012

I had been looking at the candle for a while
Then, for some reason, I closed my eyes
In the darkness, I was still swaying to the music
Until I saw the small red dot

I followed it with my eyes
Behind closed eyelids
And felt the music recede

It was taking me somewhere, the small red speck of light
And I didn't hesitate
Just followed

Now I know that it probably meant to tell me something
Like calling you or at maybe looking to you for a guiding light
But I just followed - for the first short part of the way
Then returned to my own life
And opened my eyes to the music that still played around me

And had me sway in time to the beat once more.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I honestly do not know where this came from - except for the candle and red dot bits that were real enough. Funny - when looking at lights, getting that shining dot when you close your eyes is rather common, but this was just small, red and rather intense.

The rest of the words just poured out rapidly. As is.

Stockholm - and an impromptu micro-meet
Feb 16, 2012

I realise that the last time I met "somewhere" with just one other researcher, I named it a mini-meet. Today, we just touched on that nomenclature - is a mini-meet two or at least three meeters? Or, is a meet with just two participants a micro-meet? Let's settle for that.

Whatever it was, today over lunch a colleague was mentioning that he had been staying at a hotel in central Stockholm and that (insert widespread and wellknown hotel chain here) had a few of those.

A bell slowly started to swing somewhere in the back of my mind and after some time met with something else and a nice, satisfying "doiiiiiinngg" came out of it. Like in "Hey, I know someone who works at (insert ...etc)!"

So I texted Ti and let her know that I was in Stockholm with a little time to spare towards the end of the afternoon. And lo and behold, Ti could shuffle bits and bytes and year-end numbers and what have you around and away.

So we've just had cappuccino * at a nice café at Centralen, the central station in Stockholm, accompanied by a good amount of chatting biggrin

And even if it had the side effect of thinking "why am I not packing to go to Manchester erm ?**", it was really, really nice somersault

-----

* Latte macchiatos, in fact
** Because I already have been on two w**k trips to a total of three countries this week and have a UK trip planned week after next and ... and the family actually also carries a little weight still in my life smiley

Lansing mini-meet
Jan 18, 2012

Back in my hotel room after a nice dinner on my own. The lady at the testaurant who meeted and greeted scored a point when she asked me whether I'd like a table in the lounge section or the bar section and I chose the bar "as I'm just me." To which she answered "You're not just you. You're you!" smiley

But I digress... What's the important thing is obviously that some logistical planning was crowned with a wee mini-meet over coffee with Shagbark Hickory smiley Nth time in Lansing and only now I realise that it's home to a fellow hootoo'er. Thanks for stopping by biggrin

Oh, and the Hootoo calendar is lovely!

NaJoPoMo! Nov 30: Red Red Wine
Nov 30, 2011

(UB40)

...fairly much describes what we did last night after the 8-hour standing up session at the exhibition was over. Oh, not quite - there was a 20-minute standing up waiting for a train to Paris and then the half-ish hour in the train standin up. Feet? Do I have feet??

But the wine, a Côtes de Nuits, was nice and went down very well. Did get some good company - we went very Parisian and had soupe a l'oignon for starters smiley

Two more days at the show - yesterday, in business terms was good and if things go as they do, the second day is the busiest one...
