Todays word is helg which means weekend.

Have a nice weekend / Ha en trevlig helg. :)

Todays word is rullstol which means wheelchair.

Todays word is…

Banan which means Banana, which I am allergic to by the way.

Thanks for the tip, Bruce. :)

Todays word is huvudvärk which means headache.

Huvud = Head
Värk = ache

Todays word changes name again, this time back to “Todays word” from “SW:…”.

This is because the : sign mess up the archives.

Swedish word for pineapple is ananas.

Something unusual happened today.

As you know, Guinea pigs have lots of different sounds like most animals. One of these sounds is singing. It´s sound that more or less sounds like when a bird sings.

The thing about this sound is that it is extremely rare. Some people, like me, will get lucky and hear it, while others may never be given that chance.
Personally, it was the third time in my life with guinea pigs that I heard it. For Jessica, it was the first time.

Ginnie sang for me 2 times. Jessica never got to hear it since she was away both times.

Today, one of our current piggies, Gissa & Piggie, sang. Unfortunately, we have no idea who it was since both were hiding under our couch.

As some of you may know, I bought a new cellphone last week. After some looking I decided to buy a Nokia 6280.

While it has all stuff that most phones in Sweden have, it was a phone with a good camera I wanted. My former cellphones camera took photos that were ok, but this one I think is doing it a little better.

I am novice when it comes to photographing etc, but I think the following photos turned out pretty good (See the gallery for the full size photos):

Hi everyone,
The design of the new world is slowly progressing, but still its going in the correct direction.

- A new theme (Not begun on this one yet, since I am playing with the one I always had to learn things)

- Some new plugins/features (Working on this one. Thanks to Bruce, I got a few working and a few more is on my list. Thanks for the help my friend! :) )

- Most pages that were in my old world will be transferred to the new world. (Still working on this one which can take a while.)

Take care…

Hi & Welcome everyone,

So, this is my new world.
I am just in the beginning of redesigning it, so you can expect some changes in the next days.

In the redesign plans are:

- A new theme
- Some new plugins/features
- Most pages that were in my old world will be transferred to the new world.

Who knows what I will implement…only time will tell.
And no the monkey has been told to not tell. :P
See ya…

P.S… Don´t forget to bookmark the new location. ;)

If this blog “Tompas Thoughts” doesn´t look like it usually do, this weekend, it´s perfectly normal. :lol:
I am gonna try a few things, so wish me luck. :)

There´s a rumour in the swedish entertainment journalist Fredrik Virtanens blogg that “Love generation” with Bob Sinclair will be the official song at the 2006 FIFA World Cup (soccer).

I sure hope it´s true since I like the song.
If it is true, remember where you read it first. ;)
If it is wrong, forget where you read it. :P

Hello everyone,

I just thought of something…

I don´t think I have taught you the most basic word I should teach out. I haven´t checked all the previous lessons, but I don´t think I have…

Todays words are:

Sverige which means Sweden
Svensk which means swedish as in “I am swedish”
Svenska which means swedish as “I speak swedish”

From now and on the “Todays word (date)” in Firefox Live Bookmarks, Blog titles, etc, will be renamed to “Sw: The english word”.

Hi everyone,

I have RSS problems at the moment.
For some reason the RSS is not working and probably haven´t since Friday.

On Saturday Woody, tells me in an email that the blog wasn´t working and that he got to see my 404-page instead. I did not think too much about this since I had not been working on it for some time (so what could have gone wrong I figured).

A few minutes ago I remembered I had upgraded the blog to the latest version on Friday, so it´s probably at that time that something went wrong.

At the moment I am too tired to troubleshoot this, so it will be on the agenda tomorrow.

Good night everyone. sleep

Hi people,

Sorry if I am a few weeks late on this.
But here is the time post.

I am not sure it is every word there is, that is time related, so maybe there will be a second post later.

The numbers below is 1 to 30 for the reason that there is 30 days in one month (I know there is 31 in some), but I think with these 30 you will understand how to write them. In swedish, its mostly the “teen” numbers that differ from the rest. If you don´t understand or want to know more timerelated, just make a comment and I will reply.
