Den lokale avisen, Tønsbergs Blad, var også interessert i prestasjonene mine på skolen. De har publisert et intervju med meg på forsiden av nettutgaven av avisen.

Intervjuet står også i dagens utgave av avisen, 24. juni 2010, og opptar omtrent en halv side.

Jeg ble oppringt av en annen journalist fra Tønsbergs Blad i dag, og de ønsket å intervjue meg til en annen spalte i avisen. Dette intervjuet skal etter sigende komme på trykk i lørdagsutgaven av avisen, 26. juni 2010.

Etter at jeg fullførte informatikkstudiet ved Høgskolen i Vestfold med svært gode resultater ønsket redaktøren for skolens nettsider, Jon Olav Skålid, et intervju med meg.

I tillegg til intervjuet fikk jeg også utdelt en fin blomsterbukett, samt noen velvalgte ord om mine resultater, fra skolens ledelse under tildelingen av vitnemål tirsdag 22. juni 2010.

Jeg ønsker herved å overbringe min takk til skolens ledelse for oppmerksomheten og alle lærerne for et svært godt studium. Det har vært en fornøyelse!

I just wanted to inform you about a talk I'll be making on my local college about the differences in philosophy of the Free Software movement and the Open Source movement.

Feedback about content, accuracy etc. most wanted.

The talk is mostly about summarizing the content of Dave Yeats writings in the book The Handbook of Research on Open Source Software: Technological, Economic, and Social Perspectives (Chapter 3).

Thanks to the Dave Rolsky, Ricardo Signes, Florian Ragwitz and others in #moose@irc.perl.org for valuable input on the subject matter.

I was talking with my wife (which is a teacher) about how to make students want to learn a specific subject. My solution to the problem was that you have to make the student understand how learning the subject at hand can improve the quality of something they already enjoy doing.

I sat down for some moments and jotted up this class diagram:

Basically, you have a many-to-many relationship between subject and interests. Subjects can be history, geometry, math, grammar, music etc. Interests can be soccer, music, sports, etc.

The connection between them lists the reasons for learning that specific subject based on your hobbies or interests.

A website that easily allows lookup of reasons (and additions) could be a good resource for students, teachers and parents that regularly enter into the discussion mentioned in the title.

Want to help make it a reality?

This was an interesting article. I think I'm a level 5 for the most, and sometimes dwell into the state of a 6 on occasion.

And I seem to always try and do something that is in a specification that is still not implemented unfortunately.
