In May this year I started in a new job, where I work for “Statens Lånekasse for Utdanning”(Lånekassen). It’s a government agency that provides loans and grants in Norway; My work is in system development. I’m very proud about working for this agency, because without It’s existence I would probably not had any education at all. Lånekassen together with the educational system, is viewed upon as an investment for Norway’s future.
I also moved to a new location within the city of Trondheim. It’s about twice the size of my last place, and It’s closer to the city and my job. The rent is only a third more of my last, however this is reflected through the age of the building, around hundred years, it is quite noticeable.
At last I want to welcome the summer, and hopefully more good weather!
FreeMind
For some time now, I`ve been using a mind mapping tool called FreeMind.
I’ts a very nice tool when you are getting an overflow of information to handle; For example when you are analyzing an organization, trying to get an overview over all the systems at your work, writing a book or anytime you feel it’s nice to organize information.
I use Freemind allot at my work and at home, and since I’m quite found of it I wanted to share it with you.
It’s Open Source and free, and you can get it for Windows, Linux and Mac.
