  • We got a governing body that decides what is correct or not when it comes to our two written languages, bokmål and nynorsk. They do not control speach and what is “correct” to say. I recent years the younger generations (I’m millenial, so not young any more 😢) have began merging two sounds, the sj- /∫/ og kj-sounds /ç/ with only the sj-sound. They can’t even hear the diference. This results in funny situations for us who can hear and pronounce the different sounds when used in words.

    Kjede, pronounced with /ç/ at the start, means chain (can be used to describe various types of chains).

    Sjede, pronounced with /∫/ at the start, means vagina.

    The younger generation pronounced both words with /∫/ at the start. This makes the word “kjedekollisjon” not mean “chain collision” any more, but “vagina collision”. “Halskjede” with a /∫/, suddenly means “neck vagina”, not “necklace”. And so on. Language is fun.











  • I have coworker that is very good at her job, but lunch break is a pain. All she talks about is her kids. And when she does, she dominates lunch until lunch is over. If we talk about something else, she is quiet until there’s a split second pause in the conversation. Then she’s right in there with tidbits of what her kids said, did or something like that. Her kids are 10 and 12. They’re not cute anymore. She identifies her entire personality with her kids.

    Luckily we can dictate ourselves if we want to come in to the office or work from home





  • I usually give file names a human readable name like “report on the event 27.7.1994”. Makes it easier for other people to understand if I need to pass the file on.

    For images I keep the original file name when I store it in a database (Capture one/Lightroom/etc) in folders by the year and then month they are taken: 2023 --> 08 and so on. If I eksport images for a specific project, I will keep the original file name but add project name and give it a number based on sequence. Everything else is in the metadata
