Thoughts

After more than a decade only having my company phone and company laptop I have decided it is time to make a change. The last few years have been very stressful and not having the clear boundaries between work and private life have caused some issues. I also feel it is time I take ownership of what is and is not mine and to feel secure that I am at the mercy of my company when it comes to my data. My first step was to buy a new laptop. I already have a stationary computer, but I enjoy watch

As I am taking my farewell of Sinch after two years of working with all of you, I do so with mixed feelings. On one hand I am excited to start new adventures next year, but on the other hand I will miss working with all you amazing people at Sinch. Over the past two years we have accomplished amazing things together. Despite it being very hard for you sometimes to adjust to the more structured and limited ways of a controlled platform, you have accepted the change with respect and enthusias

As a designer, graphics always has meant a lot to me and I always love to collect amazing art, but I am not very good at organizing my images. Yesterday I decided to increase my library with some new graphics from Freepik.com, which is a service I love to use. I got an annual license, which will give me the ability to download around 36,000 images over the course of a year, which feels really good. In order to be able to handle all of those images, I really needed to get things organized. S

I have spent a few days playing around with the new Invision Community version. It feels really great, and I have a nice starting point now, I think. While there are some things that feel a bit clunky, these will all be ironed out in the coming months, I am sure. What remains for me now I to start preparing the data to make sure it is ready for when V5 finally drop. The new Tags system The new tags system is a big change, so I need to decide on how to use that, since it kind of doubles

With Invision Community V5 slowly creeping closer to release, I am in planning mode to renew this site again. As I am no longer a consultant and I am fully committed to the Atlassian Ecosystem, I feel it is time to renew this site accordingly. I think this is an urge I have felt for a while and now that my life has changed due to my diagnosis that I have Diabetes, I am eager to do a fresh restart! I know this is a little counterintuitive, since I just a year ago split things up and created

For a while now I have been absorbed in my work. In fact, most of 2023 I was 120% focused on it and as a result I have neglected this site. As I passed the new year, I felt this changed a bit. I am still very much focused on my work, but more at 100% instead of 120%. That means that I am now looking into how to get back to this site and what I should do with it. Rebranding One of the main things that I will do is to rebrand. I have already done that on my Social Media, and it is now ti

After many, many years I finally decided to invest in a Wacom Cintiq. I picked the 22'' because I always wanted a big screen to draw on, and the price was very good. I don't have a lot of room for another big screen on my desk, but it actually fit pretty well once I made some adjustments. While it is heavy and not that easy to move around, it is not a big problem if I want to put it away and play games for example. The reasons for wanting a Wacom Cintiq are many of course, but the

In the last 6 months, a lot has changed in my life. Not in a bad way, quite the opposite, but I am struggling a bit when it comes to this site as it has become a bit too big for me. So, as I wrote in my last blog post back in September, I am splitting things up when it comes to content. I am also rebuilding this site to be more personal focused. I have already disabled several sections and will update the navigation to better fit the new focus here. All things related to Atlassian I have mo

At the moment, I am considering a split of content for this website. The reason for that is that the site is getting very heavy and a bit difficult to navigate. It also feels a bit unfocused and I feel that maybe it is time to change that as I am moving into year 4 of this incarnation of the site. It is not something that comes without a cost however... As you might have noticed, I have not been very active here for a while. That is because I have not felt inspired and because I have been a

It has been a while since I wrote here, and it is because I have had this inner stress. A lot of things are going on in life right now, and it has affected me a bit more than I realized. This has caused me to end up in a state of frustration and sort of state of urgency because there are so many things all jumbled up in my head. With this in mind, I decided to take a first step towards making this better, and that is to get new glasses and slow things down a bit. Anyone who have followed my
