F a c t s :
   
B a s i c s I am a male citizen of the city of Göteborg in Sweden. At 31 years of age I have lived here for the larger part of my life; originally born in Stockholm I moved to the west coast of Sweden when I was 10.
I am married to Anja and we have a 1 year old son, Hugo, to constantly tend to.
If you, for some odd reason, want to get in touch with me I am available on the following addresses:

W o r k For the last four years I have been working as a consultant system analyst/designer at Sigma Information Design, a company specializing in technical information. My latest assignment was to develop a new information system for emergency situations for Ericsson.
Acronyms like "SGML, HTML, UML and SQL is what I eat, drink and breathe. Sounds boring? I suppose you have never been tantalized by the sheer beauty of a well-written SGML DTD...
From early October I start a new job at another consultant agency, Frontec, where I will be focusing on web applications for business purposes.

F o o d What is it about food that always make me in a good mood? (to be completed..)
S w e e t s One day when I was about 1 year old (a long time ago), my grandfather got an assignment from my mother. He was supposed to take care of me for a couple of hours when she went to the hairdresser (or whatever). Of course as soon as mom was out of sight I started yelling and crying. Gramps' being a resourceful man solved the problem by feeding me 'hallon- och lakritsbåtar' (raspberry and liqorice jellies) until mom returned (about a pound of candies later...).
Ever since that day I have been addicted to sweets in all forms.
