Jorgen Austvik Jorgen Austvik's Weblog

After my presentation on last years Free Test conference, I was asked to take part in the program committee. This is probably just a clever trick by Henri to make sure I am too busy to propose a talk this year.

The Call For Paper deadline is Oct. 15th, and I am looking forward to lots of good presentations!

Just before Christmas we had a Christmas party at Sun.

The just-about-to-break-through band "The Directless" had a stunning performance releasing their new hit single "Riga River", here are a couple of pictures:

This weekend I attended a mountain bike race in Norway, caller Birkebeinerrittet.

It is 91 km with some nice roads, some terrain and some places where you have to run through mud and stones. I finished in four hours and six minutes, which I am very pleased with after some technical problems and a salto mortale. Next year I'll go for 3:40.

So, I guess some introduction is appropriate.

My name is Jørgen Austvik, I am 31 years old, and work as a software engineer for the database group at Sun, testing databases. I am located in Trondheim, Norway. Previously I worked on HADB, but now I work on PostgreSQL.

After being encouraged by Balaji in BarCamp Bangalore, and then now by Trond, I thought I should give blogging a shot.
