Family

I grew up in the countryside of Skåne (the southern part of Sweden). I am the eldest (22) of four children - my brothers Ludvig (11) and Elias (10) together with my sis Annasara (20) makes life hard for Mom and Dad :-) We are a very loud-voiced family, so don't forget bringing your earplugs if you plan to come visiting us! Not surprisingly, since we live in the country (approx. 15 minutes from Malmö), we also have some lovely pets; Sune, which is our mini-pig (which really ain't that mini anymore), our dog Doris, two cats - Kerstin and Ragnar. As if this was not enough, we also have two hives, with some thousand bees...

Computers

My interest for computers arose in 87 when we bought a Commodore 64. At the time, home computers were still very rare, so it was indeed a very special experience. The computer and I got along pretty well, and we spent days and nights together - all to my mom and dad's great despair. Years later, the old 64 was replaced by an Amiga. It was truly an impressive piece of hardware (and still is!). All along, I tried to get as much computer education as possible in school - even if the resources at the time were very limited.

After having spent three years in upper secondary school, it was a matter of course that I would apply for a university education focused on working with computers. And so in 1993, I started studying at the Software Engineering Programme at the Univeristy/College of Ronneby, Sweden. It is a four-year education programme which hopefully will lead to a M.Sc. in Software Engineering.

Interests

My main interest (of course) is my lovely girlfriend Oanna. She lives in the house next to me, so I don't have to spend hours on trains and buses to reach her :-)
Everybody that knows me, recognize my passion for blue colors... Everything I wear is blue, and my room is slowly turning blue *smile*
KeSO is vitally important.
Also, I love to listen to some good Music, mainly soul/r&b and jazzy stuff.
Design has always been one of my greatest interests, and I always have things to say about how existing designs could be improved. Now that we have Internet, we daily see examples of lousy designs. I mainly try to compe up with designs that I can be comfortable with; yet shall it be functional and fast (in terms of performance). However, good sources to look for are Photoshop, 'Creating graphics for the web' and 'Composing good HTML'.
I also love to think about how things work; analysis and philosophy is two very interesting subjects. If you are interested, you might enjoy reading some of my thoughts.
Another of my somewhat peculiar interests is collecting phone books! For the moment, I have four bookshelves covered with old books at home. I can spend hours reading them just to fins new and interesting names!

Incognito

Incognito is the name of an English band that was formed more than 15 years ago. The music they play is a mix of many genres; jazz, funk, latin, soul and fusion etc., oftenly classified as Acid-Jazz. About two years ago, I started to gather material, which eventually turned into my Incognito Everyday web site. Here you will find everything you ever wanted to know (hopefully), and loads of sound samples, pictures, lyrics and information. Check it out!
