One of my passions in life is technology and programming and I try to learn and understand everything. When I'm not busy at work, I try to use some of my time to contribute to Open Source projects. Some of my projects and contributions include:

• Flickr Downloadr
  • Tool to simplify downloading photos to a local folder.
• Better Safe Than Sorry
  • User friendly password manager that helps you protect personal passwords and makes it easier for you to keep in line with the general password practices such as strong (complex) passwords and to never reuse the password across services.
• Team System Web Access Translations
  • I'm responsible for the Norwegian translation of Team System Web Access.
• Automaton
  • Continuous Integration engine for Visual Studio Team System 2005. This project is no longer active as Microsoft added CI build features to Visual Studio Team System 2008.

Check my blog for some great posts on robotics, team system, programming, technology and life in general.

Recording, editing and producing videos is a time consuming activity, but a very rewarding one. It quickly gives results and value. Here follows some of the productions made by me.

SondreB's drifting project is a Mazda RX-7, check the main site for photos and videos at www.FDBoy.com.

For the 2009 season I'm competing in the Semi PRO series in PowerDrift. Car has been worked on and prepared all winter and the season is finally here. Need all the support I can get and this is a great opportunity if you're interesting in some exposure for your business.

While I don't have a good quality camera at the moment, I do like to capture photos and collect stuff that I come across. To see all of my photos, visit my Flickr site www.flickr.com/sondre.

Robotics and Intelligent Systems is a field I'm very interesting in and for this reason I'm trying to establish a Norwegian Robotics User Group (NRUG). My plan is to build an intelligent home in the near future, one which will anticipate the moves and actions of us living there.

In the near future, computer software will become more social in the way they communicate with us users. They will be able to work together with us as a team, rather than being fully under our bidding. To describe this behavior, I have come up with the term morphi, morphi is the concept of machines, computers and software that behaves as-if they possess human characteristics.
