Have a nice summer - time for parental leave!
It’s that time of the year again. Time for me to take a break from blogging, and computers in general, to instead spend some months together with my family.
I’m currently on parental leave, and will start my new job at Valtech
September 1st. As opposed to last year, when only I and my eldest daughter Emilia were having the whole summer together, this time the entire family is together; that means me, Fredrika and our two wonderful daughters Emilia and Filippa.
The funny thing is that when I mention to people that the whole family will be having the entire summer together, people react like this:
Women
Aaaaawwwwwwww (usually with a slightly tilted head and a friendly smile)
Men
Cool. So this means that you will have no alone-time whatsoever?
Let me just say that at least one of the reactions is spot on.
What does this mean?
This means that I, most likely, won’t be writing any posts here, replying to comments or e-mails. You’re naturally free to comment, I love getting them, but please just don’t expect any reply.
This goes until September, when I plan to resume writing. Till then, I’ll just spend time with my loved ones, read books, watch movies, and generally just chill.
“What should I do now?”
Well, if you really like my writings, I advise you to make a visit to the archives page. It contains every post I’ve ever written here, since March 3rd 2005, and they’re listed in date order with the name of each post printed out.
Other blogs and web sites well worth reading are the ones mentioned in 5 blogs that make me think, Emil, Snook and generally just the ones in my blogroll.
Additionally, if you like looking at pictures, I’d like to recommend my Flickr photos page, and especially the ones from our Round the world-trip.
I like you!
To be honest, I’ve grown quite fond of you, dear readers. Not getting comments and having discussions for some time will be hard on me. I appreciate you reading, giving me feedback and generally just being there so much! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Ads and charity
You might remember that I reinstated the ads in this web site about a month ago, and since then I’ve made roughly $120, which will all go to charity. My idea is to give $100-chunks to each cause every time I reach that amount, and first out will be the Swedish branch of the Save the Children organization.
Thanks everyone for clicking the ads, and hopefully actually reading their message as well. If you were to use the button on you mouse occasionally in the future too, I and a lot of charities, and subsequently people in need, will sincerely appreciate it!
Goodbye for now
With this lovely picture, I’d like to wish you a fantastic summer (and a splendid winter to you Aussies and Kiwis):
Oh, man, sorry! Wrong one!
Here’s the picture of me and my daughters:

Have a great summer!
