Just restored my laptop completely

I just restored my laptop completely to the way it was delivered when it was new :D . I’ve learned a lot since the first time I did it so now I always keep track on where I can find the cool applications I need to work as “efficient” as possible, but it’s still a lot to restore manually :(

Anyway it’s soon back to normal again, but this time all my hard drives will be encrypted :D just for additional security.

Enjoying the Swedish summer on a private island

This weekend I’ve been on a private island in the middle of the High Coast in the North of Sweden. The weather was too cold to take a swim, but it was nice anyway.

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….

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

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.

Sign in at your Google account

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 :D . If you get a lot of articles written about you you could select for example once a day to not drown in emails.

Fill in the form.

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.
