Well, what is there to tell about myself? I live in Norway. I was born
in
the
far North the 28.11.82 (try to read that backwards), and spent most of
my
young life hunting polar bears:-) or maybe I just played a lot of
computer
games. In the winter, there was a lot of snow. It could easily rise
some
meters
above the ground. The conditions were ideal for skiing. But the
competition
was too hard. I tried some other sports like football and cycling, but
I
kept
ending up in front of my PC. I started studying mapping sciences on the
Norwegian
agricultural high school (I guess it's not really called high school in
English) in 2001.
I forgot all my computer games back home, and had to play Minesweeper
instead (january 2002).
I sweapt around for a week or two, until i got this really great score
at
the
expert level. 131. This definitely had to be the world record. I
searched
the Internet,
and found out that 131 secs sucks. I also found out that some guys used
Camtasia for
video capturing. I downloaded it, and decided to test it on the
beginner
level. I reset
the scores and started playing. Damn, I hit a mine. The second try: A
great
box pops up,
blocking for the mines. What the hell is that thing, I thought. Oh,
yes. I'm
supposed to write my name. My first 1-sec ever (First time below 4 by
the
way).
At least, this have to be the world record. Alas, someone tells me that
my
board is "illegal". Well, I get the real (8x8) board, and about a month
later I get my first
"legal" 1-sec.
In the end of march, I get my first sub-20, a 19. Of course, at this
time of
the year I should
be studying for the forthcoming exams. But we all know how it is with
minesweeper, don't we?
In nine days I'm having an exam in maths. I think the math we learn
here in
school is somewhat
boring. I'd much rather be working on my method of calculating square
roots
by hand. But I
guess such things are not needed in the society of today.
In the end, I'll just tell you who Jon Blund is. He's a guy in the
children's TV. Jon Blund
comes around to all houses in the night to make people sleep. Some wise
guy
figured out that
I should get that nickname, and I thought: "Yeah, whatever".
My totals for beginner and expert are as follows:
Beg: 1x3, 2x33, 3x338 (374 sub-4)
Exp: 70, 73x2, 76, 77 (5 sub-80)
