Did you notice the rapid improvement of computers? Did you appreciate it? I remember when I was 7 years old (some 13 years ago), when we got our first grey box. Oh the joy. I had played with computers before, mainly my fathers Packard Bell which he used at his office. Windows 3.11 with the […]

Can You Crack It?
Recently I came across an interesting code challenge that really got me going. If you’re like me and love solving problems you should totally check it out and give it a go! Puzzle games are all fun but, obviously, they’re designed as games. This code challenge, on the other hand, is a real challenge. Besides it being […]
Använder folk fortfarande antivirus?
“Surfa inte på skumma hemsidor” – jo visst. Hur gör folk idag? Igår framkallade både chips och knäckebröd cancer – idag äter folk det som vanligt. Saker och ting förändras.

Same goes for blogs, why would anyone simply let their blog die? Since most blogs are hosted using automated system, they are not cleaned up afterwards. The hosting companies want to […]
EasyBits Go … Away!
Perhaps it hasn’t troubled you, but one day a software called EasyBits Go installed itself on my computer. “Ding ding ding” – malware alarm! Turns out it’s a gaming plug-in for Skype (as in an extension for Skype). Lucky me, otherwise a full reinstall would be in order. I did uninstall it, although I don’t […]
DNS Change
I’ll write this post later on, just gotta make sure I write this on the correct site. Okay, there we go. I’m sorry about the not-writing-new-stuff thing, and I’m sorry about the possible loss of comments during this DNS transfer. Basically the DNS (oscarhjelm.com) translates into an IP-adress which a computer uses to load the […]
Planned Downtime
Edit: So it has been a week since this was posted, and it’s such a shame I’m keeping the blog idle for now. If this is your first time reading my blog, stay tuned for a ton of awesome posts! Regular readers – I’m sorry for not writing. I’m changing host, and almost everything is […]
