Stockholm

I’m in Stockholm right now to visit some friends and between Djurgården and Södermalm there’s some kind of foreign military ship. The flag looks like a mix between the UK flag and the Scottish flag (???).

It must be some kind of maintenance ship or supply ship because you can’t see any canons….

Spam

It must be a really bad omen when you got 6666 spam mails in your spam folder at gmail. Right?

Finns det nÃ¥got mysigare Ã¤n att fira Lucia med glÃ¶gg och pepparkakor med grÃ¶nmÃ¶gelost?

Playing in the snow

I tried to take a few Christmas pictures of Casper outside in the snow, but it was harder then I first thought since he didn’t want to stay still.

How to find out if someone is writing about you

How do you know if someone is writing something (like a blog post) about you? You could search in various search engines for your name for example once a week or once a month, but there’s an easier way! Google got a service called Alerts where you can sign up for various alerts (for example when Google finds a new page with your name).

To setup an alert for your own name simply visit www.google.com/alerts, click on sign in to manage your alerts and login to your Google account.

If you don’t have an account or a Gmail email address you can simply sign up for free by clicking on Create an account now.

When you have logged in you simply click on the button called “New Alert” to setup a new alert. Fill in your name as the search term and the rest of the details. You may want to use “” around your name so you only get results containing both your first name and last name and not only one of them.

I usually select as-it-happens for my alerts to get an email immediately when someone is writing about me. That way I get the results about 15 minutes after Google found a new page about me . If you get a lot of articles written about you you could select for example once a day to not drown in emails.

Now your alert is setup and as soon as Google find a new page/article/blog post about you you will get an email with some text and the URL to the page about you.

Did you know that I’m “famous”?

Did you know that I’m “famous”? CrimGirl.com thinks that anyway and that’s all that matters . In a post at her web site (click here for link) she’s writing about my post from a few months ago where I’m saying happy birthday to her mom.

In the post she’s writing:

So I just Googled my site to see if it had been crawled in the last.. yearâ€¦. and noticed a lovely birthday message to my mommy, written months ago by the famous Andreas Bylund.

Notice the text “by the famous Andreas Bylund”

Back from my travels

Yesterday returned from Czech Republic where I have been for some field studies. During my stay in Czech Republic I had the opportunity to actually visit Prag and I have to say it’s a nice city with its old houses and castles. I can understand why so many movies are created in the Czech Republic I’m planning to return someday and spend some more time in Prag other then just work

It’s been a hard week with a lot of traveling. First I went to Ã–rebro to celebrate my birthday and now I’ve been to Czech Republic too It’s fun to travel, but sometimes it can bee too much….
