On my life as being connected
Sigfrid Lundberg's Stuff 2010-05-10
Thursday morning. A clock went off in the bedroom. Very early. It was
the calendar prompting me to attend a whole day event. The tablet
synchronizes calendar entries from my outlook calendar. Very nifty, I'd
say. What was that?
my wife asked. Oh, it was just my
calendar,
I answered. The standard 18
hrs
Yesterday she heard a pling from my left pocket. An SMS?
she
enquired. Nope, an e-mail!
said I. The alerts differ.
I stand in the kitchen, by the stove, cooking. I write while waiting
for something to get ready, typing with frenzy on my tablet. What are
you up to?
asks she. I'm just writing a text on my life as being
connected.

NB
My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
