Welcome to my GUESTBOOK !

If this page is here at all, it most certainly is under construction....
(Maybe this was true in 1995, but not anymore. Kept for sentimental reasons:)

I live in in Drammen, a town in which Internet soon will be considered as our Local Area Network, thanks to Drammensnett, our local provider of excellent Internet services.
DRMlogo The global aspect of Internet presently receives lots of attention, however the local perspective may well prove to be at least equally important in the long run. Drammen Kommune is of course present on the 'net with official information from the local authorities. Homepages from "tribesize" araeas in town will will eventually supply more colorful descriptions of our town.
For instance: There is a strong Internet-movement in Anchersensvei, giving details from an especially attractive part of town. Any other part of Drammen is hereby challenged to present themselves on the Internet. They will be richly rewarded by being entered in my list of Very Local Links i Drammen...
Our local Newsgroup norge.buskerud.drammen is the Most Important Newsgroup in Norway. This NG is the social catalyst for an informal gathering taking place at irregular intervals. At these meetings local, regional and global problems are analyzed and solved, along with a few non-virtual beers from our highly appreciated Aass Brewery. Consequently these gatherings are called CyberBeer, and by popular demand the logo can be found to the right: CyBeer Logo


Further details on me on request, but these are a few important factors in my life:
This is my favourite bike, an '81 Suzuki GSX750, before restoration. It is even more beautiful now. The sixteen valve, four cylinder in-line engine is an excellent example of early advanced japanese engine-technology. Even though I have had to refit two of the bearings for the crank-shaft connecting rod....
....concequently I am a member of DoD, the great, friendly Internet brotherhood. To prove it, this is my membership number: DoD #2085. I could of course tell you what the DoD is, but that would have disgusting consequences. Try visiting the DoD Norwegian Chapter! (Links for you to find!) Geeky
This is Geeky !
Aass: Vårt Bryggeri
The best beer in Norway is made in by:
Aass Bryggeri, our local brewery in Drammen !
(my personal tribute, and why we must support it!).

Aass is the oldest brewery in Norway, and is also independent and privately owned. However these kinds of institutions are threatened species i Norway and they need friends...

...these friends are organized in our local fanclub which has more than 18000 members, about one third of the citizens i Drammen ! Details on organizational structure and formal Charter in this link:
Drammens Ølets Venner
(Friends of the Drammens Beer?). Drammens Ølets Venner also has an enthusiastic sports group called:
"Skydeselskabet Krut & Porcelain"
Difficult to explain, but there is some sort of connection with ancient cultural traditions, shotguns and clay pidgeons....
