FreeBSD: Mono + libgdiplus compile issues

September 28th, 2010 by Lars-Georg Paulsen

If your having problem with compiling libgdiplus, and it fails on the testing directory.
There is a quick fix that worked for me.

Edit the file:
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/libgdiplus/work/libgdiplus-2.6.7/Makefile

One line 222
Remove ‘tests’ from the SUBDIR variable.

Surfing Morocco, skiing in Hemsedal

January 16th, 2010 by Lars-Georg Paulsen

December was one of the best month last year. Went to Morocco for a week on a surf holiday on the 12th of December, coming back to celebrate Christmas with my family, and then headed for Hemsedal for some wicked skiing and partying over new years!

Apparently it’s only suppose to rain about 5 days during December. Guess we got lucky and got about all of them. But lucky for us, it usually only rained during the morning. And the rain didn’t bother us that much. We where in the water anyway. We stayed at Surf Berbere, and small surf camp in Taghazout. Atmosphere and the people there where great, and is definitely a place we can recommend for other who is going to Morocco for a surf! Just remember one thing…. It’s a dry town, so bring spirits! The guys at the camp organizes a beer-run into Agadir, so you place an order with them..

Silje, the sexy ghettosmurf

New Years eve in Hemsedal was blast, but I somehow lost my camera between the After-Ski, and the cabin…. So no pictures..

I’ve also just ordered a SBC unit from Phidget.com, so my water level project is under construction. More on that at a later stages.

Just wanna wish everyone a happy new year.. and let 2010 be even more extraordinary then 2009. Bring it on!

Summer is soon over…

July 23rd, 2009 by Lars-Georg Paulsen

Well, time flies when you have a great time. This summer has gone so fast, I can’t belive it is soon over. Having my last weekend in Arendal now, and then I’m going back to Oslo next week. Looks like we gonna have one finale mission before it’s to late. But before that, some news!

Sjoa River Festival
One of Norway’s classic festival witch is held in mid July in Sjoa/Heidalen. A must, if you are a kayaker, got some spare time and located in Norway. Waterlevel was good, and I had the chance of re-meeting one of my top 3 rivers in Norway. The Skjørli! Cruising down at 1.40+. After hitting the first wave, a huge grin appeared on my face, and I just kept on smiling all the way down the river, the drive back home, partying all night, and even when I woke up the next morning, there was still a smile. We tried again later the week as well, but going down the river at a higher level (1.50), with me as a guide, (I’ve only done the rivers a couple of times) we where out of luck, we had to portage out, but even then, I smiled.

The Ula Race!

Missed a couple of lines, but hitting a major buff (well, it was after the race, but who cares???), I came 20th place. Not that impressive, but Martin Vollen, witch came 1st, had some really nice lines, and he was fast. Guess it was payback for not making it to the finals in the Sweet Rumble. Witch by the way, Morten Eilertsen won!!. It’s so good to see Norwegian on the top again. Con’grats to you both!

In other news!
New car? Ohh yes… My old one is now for sale.
And I’m gonna pick up my new car later today! So I’m really looking forward to “kayak-pimp” the car. It’s a 3-seater, so now it’s just one big empty room. But after some isolation, bed making and other stuff, I recon it’s gonna be pretty sweet. I’ll create a new post, just on the pimping action! But for now, here’s a picture of my new girl!
