No doubt things are changing around here. Life, as we know it, is going bye-bye. With the information and communication technologies, we must re-orientate ourselves. Big time. Old solutions might still work, but before we know it the competition starts using new and better methods, and we are still stuck in our old habits.

Better find new best practices. Fast.

I stopped writing on my TIG updates some time ago. The server was too slow, and I did not feel that I could customize the service enough. I checked out different blogging solutions, including blogger, but I did not feel quite at ease with them. So I guess I ended up here at typepad. If I had my own server, I would go for movabletype. If.

The last weeks have been staggering to me. After I first heard about SocialText, and started testing it out, I felt that I kept on saying a-ha over and over again. I realized so much about my old ways of doing things, and not only me as a person, but we - as an organization.

Yesterday, I had one of my best days in a very long time. Proving my anxieties and fears all wrong, the board of Hordaland Venstre decided to give me green lights for my e-campaign plans. I had spent most of the last 30 hours working on my note, which basically laid out a simple plan for CMS use, the need for focus on internal communications, and more direct communication with the voters through weblogs and the like. They were in fact quite enthusiastic about it - and here I thought that they were all living in the stone age and even cell phones are dangerous… I guess we youth are quite arrogant sometimes

The topics of this journal will change, but I will mainly let it focus on the two topics of ‘technology’ and ‘politics’. I will continue writing a Norwegian weblog, either at blogspot or move it to this site, and I will be rather focused on the parliamentary election we will have on september 12th and which is what we are all preparing for now.

but now, more coffee, and then to get updated on what is going on in the world.

until later,
