So I thought it was time to do some shameless pr for us :)

Greetings 2011
Goodbye 2010 and hello 2011.
What a year this has been so far and what an ending. Just my luck to go in for surgery as I start the Incarna Producer job. But at least I have learnt something about listening to ones own capacity. Admittedly I have never undergone surgery like this, so I was sure I could get back to work and get cracking within 3-5 days. Well, yes I was back at work after 5 days but cracking, not so much so. 4 incisions and stitches to heal up, it it takes its toll, but now I am finally back into fighting shape.
As I said in the start, what a year this has been, I am glad I have blogged about my Icelandic exploits and I shall certainly continue to do so more frequently.

Roadmap session completed
Absolutely mad week just getting to an end. Monday and Tuesday we hosted the Incarna roadmap session at Hotel Saga. Preparations started already the week before, including the weekend. Long days, getting up early to prepare for the participants and long nights too, due to dinner and drinks. But we have results!
Last couple of weeks, the 10 to 12 hour shifts I have been pulling, has meant almost no time spent outside CCP. It cut into Airwaves time too and just ordinary activities that I normally have time to do. Thank god that CCP is so good at feeding staff working late, otherwise I would have disappeared by now. But it sounds worse that it is, I am having a blast to be honest. Just recuperating for next week's events. So this weekend I have kept free, in order to catch up with life in general. I have also decided to hire a cleaner, because life is just too short for dishes and dust.

CCP Octoberfest Delivered.
CPP + Octoberfest = WIN!
We ran out of beer at 10:00, but thank god someone was clear minded enough to make some calls and soon after even more beer arrived, Thule as well. Not bad.
After that beer ran out, buses were ready to take the last (and surprisingly many) hardcore party people to the wonderful ruckus that is Reykjavikan nightlife.

Incarnaged!
Posts have been rather scarce lately, but it is due to the fact, that I just stepped into the role as the new Incarna Producer at CCP. To be honest it is a dream come true, this is the job I always wished for.
I have loved MMOs since I started playing AO in 2001 and I have always been very interested in how to improve development procedures, since I have always been strongly connected to the development floor.
Alas this also means that I have had to say my goodbyes, as a PO, to me beloved Team Raggydolls and the Reykjavikan Art Department in general. A very very hard thing to do, because this has arguable been one of the best departments I have ever worked in, in any company. Thank you all for such a wonderful time.
On the plus side I am now going to work with some great people in the current EVE command Center. Monday I will truly move into my new role 100% .

Compared to its size, Reykjavik has disproportionally many interesting events happening and people turn out en masse, to parttake in the activities.
Lately there has been Culture Day and Gay Pride and comming up in September is Iceland Airwaves >> http://www.icelandairwaves.is/. and these are just the major ones.
Besides everything Reykjavik has to offer, CCP also had its anual kick off last Friday, which was very cool. A full day of presentaion about this year's theme "Deliver" , various activities like horseback riding, axe throwinig, shushi making, wine tasing, and ATVs followed by a kick ass kick off party in the evening.

That's not rain....
My mum, dad and one of my oldest friends Anette visited me this weekend.
We had a great time even though the weather turned towards rain.
Funny it is always when I decide to do the golden circle that the rain starts...
However compared to the amount of rain that have fallen in Denmark it is really not much.
Copenhagen experienced veritable floodgates as you can probably see on the link below:
