About

Because everything has to be about something, right? So this page is about whatever happens to appear on it, and it’s still being in development. Meaning it’s still being written. Or evolving. Indefinitely. Blog-Darwinism at work. Hey, it’s still here.

About this Blog

This blog serves as a supplement to my photography homepage at bjornarhaveland.net, as a a more varied and unconstrained outlet for creative writing as well as my personal intellectual alibi. No guarantees are made regarding the contents of the posts herein; neither that they will be factually correct, nor that they will be entertaining, but efforts will be made to ensure that they are, whenever possible, both.

About the Author

My name is Bjørnar Haveland, self-proclaimed and largely self-taught computer geek. On the professional side I’ve been working in computer and Internet tech support since 2000, working to help make the world a better place, one computer or internet connection at a time. Outside of work I dabble in photography, along with stuff to do with computers and Internet. The nickname “inshadowz” has more or less been my official ‘net moniker since the turn of the century. I’m also a dad, forgetful, whimsical, romantically involved, occasionally childish, and equipped with a sense of humour that some to my considerable amusement find utterly annoying.

I speak Norwegian (native) and English (nearly native). Plus Swedish which gets better the drunker I get, and a minor bit of Danish for which I have to be really drunk before I even get started. I have sufficient German on board to survive in a pinch, can order two beers in Spanish (which is useless because I don’t even like beer), and know barely enough French to earn a slap in the face.

I exist elsewhere on the net as well; this list of links should provide something of a crumb trail for those of an inquisitive disposition.

I’m fiftyish, Norwegian, married, have two daughters, a cat and a dog.
