This weekend I took my girlfriend and flew down to Porto, Portugal. I have a friend living there for six months so I thought it would be a great idea to leave the minus degrees in Denmark to get a weekend of sun and 23 degrees.It was a nice trip but we could easily have used a couple of days more. 

This morning Jon, Jonas and I completed our first 24-hours adventure race called “DTU Adventure Race”. It’s the largest of its type in Denmark with 118 teams competing.The goal for this first adventure race was to complete it within the 24 hours we had available. We did it in 21 hours and 10 minutes giving us a rank of 48. Lots of room for improvements but we reached out goal so we’re able (and will) set higher goal for our next race.The race started at noon on DTU and after a short sprint we jumped on our bikes and weren’t back before twelve hours later. My only three weeks of training on a mountain bike surely wasn’t enough and I wasn’t fully able to keep up with the other guys .. but they backed me up as a great team and I was able to help up on the running later.We wasn’t really sure how much to eat and drink we had to carry along so after a o-run in the forest immediately followed by another round with bikes we were out of water. Fortunately the adventure race crew had planned a water-spot for the next check point so we were able to get filled up.I’ve uploaded a couple of pictures of the event.

I’ve been wanting it for some time now and today I finally got it. My boss at ZYB was able to bring back home a couple of these nifty phones

I’ve unlocked it and it works great. The interface is superb and though I have had my hands in an iPhone before it’s so much nicer now I’m able to customize it just the way I want it.

I started an Open Water divers certification through PADI last year and finally managed to complete it today. I took it with a friend of mine and we had quite some troubles finding dates where we both were available.

Now I’m looking forward to my first real trip which probably will be to a shipwreck in Sweden.

I’m working as a developer in ZYB and now we’ve finally had a minute to setup an official blog. We’ll be using this to get you into the loop of what’s going on behind the scenes. We have a lot of stuff in the workings so start get excited if you have anything of value in your mobile phone.

Within a very short period of time (we are talking days now) I’m sure we will help you bring your mobile data to life in an entirely new way.

So jump by our ZYB blog and click that ’subscribe’ button in your favorite RSS aggregator.

I have now figured out which phone should be one of the next ones I buy. Apple announced their iPhone today and it looks very cool. They’ll not release it till June and then I’ll probably have to wait a bit more for it to work in Denmark but let’s see. The only thing I’m wondering is if it’s preconfigured to synchronize contacts and calendars with ZYB or even if it does support SyncML. In the keynote I didn’t hear Steve talk about it but I can’t imagine they wouldn’t include that.

I can’t wait to code a widget for this phone .. I assume it’ll be similar to coding a Tiger Dashboard widget? It must be.

I’ve just returned from a one-week vacation in Paris. It was a nice trip and we got around quite a bit - visited sites likes Arch of Triumph, Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Notre-Dame and Louvre. Furthermore we went for the Moulin Rouge cabaret which was a great experience .. nice shows with some nice looking dancers too

We took a trip down the Seine on a dinner boat as well - that’s recommended.

I’m just back from Boersen Adventure Challenge 2006 in which my current company is participating. It’s a short four hour event on “Middelgrundsfortet” not too far away of Copenhagen.

We competed with three teams this year - last year we had two teams but too many would like to participate so that was just great. It’s a pretty fun event where we are able to compete with colleagues - and as last year my team was the best team of my company

It has been a while since I’ve updated my blog though a lot of things have been going on. Oh, well

I’m back from my one week vacation in the Faroe Islands. It’s a great country in the Northen part of Europe not too far away of Iceland. It was my first trip to this country and I have to say they have an amazing nature.

A friend (Troels) and I took the plane up there to meet another friend (Brian) of us - he’s a native habitant of that isle but has moved to Denmark while studying.

I completed my first marathon today and thus kept one of my New Year’s resolutions. I must say it was pretty hard - at least harder than expected. I actually had two goals when initially signing up - I weren’t allowed to stop and walk for the entire marathon and I must complete within four hours. None of these goals were completed.

I was totally busted between 27 km and 33 km and could run only 200-300 metres before my legs cramped - it was a nightmare. Around the 33 km mark I stopped and made a thorough stretch, ate an energy gel and sipped some water. Then I started to run again and was feeling pretty good without legproblems - great. However too much time had elapsed and I completed after around four hours and thirty minutes .. not my initial goal but there’s always room for improvements. My last couple of meters before the goal were great, though
