At 25-26 August 2011 there was a big conference at Hotel 11 - target group communicators & informers from all over Sweden working for different landsting (regions) all over Sweden. About 350 people was gathered for two days. To me it was an amazing event giving much inspiration and lots of contacts. I really liked the lectures and of course the food. The highlights were the lecture in

Google has made a pretty good blogpost about how to manage on-line identities and some integrity issues. The intention is good but sadly Google never discuss anything about when something goes wrong and text & images are published that shouldn´t be.  If you are lucky you can convince the website owner to delete that information. But then you must be aware that the same information

My last project - a new customer web for Regionservice at Västra Götalandsregionen is up and running since a week. The traffic from old web has been moved over gradually. Today we reached over 3000 visitors and 8000 page loads. There will be even more tomorrow and next day. We wanted to make it easier for our customer - that was our vision. What did it become? Information and access to

No I have nothing to write about. Or too much. My brain is still like minced meet after two days of Software Developers Conference at Göteborg and three days of "Agile fundamentals and Scrum master class" with Alistair Cockburn at Stockholm. I am however now a certified Scrummer. I not only survived Alistair´s class - I learnt a lot too. I listened to a lot of great speeches at the conference.

This are a few notes about running usability tests at long distant. I never believed in it - but I think I have changed my mind. As a final test of the new Customer website I created a usability test with help of XLS. I actually did not believe in this method but since we are running out of time. We needed to check up a few interface "problems" and we wanted to see if use right keywords is

In December I was supposed to attend an Scrum Master class with Ron Jeffrey. I had been told by my colleges the added value of going for one of the ones who was there from the beginning. Sadly Ron had to cancel because of his knee and I was really disappointed.

A day at the Opera - what an amazing theme I thought sitting at the train that morning. I was going for a kick off regarding the new cooperate Intranet - the top layer, the "hub" connecting all other 50 Intranets. The conference room was called Carmen and full of excitement I entered the foyer. But it was empty - except for the three beautiful "ghosts" above. I work for Västra

When realizing there is such a thing as web visitors statistics many people feel very bad at ease. I can understand that – I do not want my footprints on the net to be recorded. I do not want my Internet habits to give background to commercial campaigns for example. I can see more and more people are hiding from web statistic programs like Google Analytics - they only show up in server based

There is a new EU law proposal concerning information we chose to share - social networks for example. The day we decide to quit it should be easy to be erased - at all sources. It is called "The right to be forgotten - On Internet". I have however expanded that title to a lot of other Internet integrity problems. The following is about involuntarily presences on Internet.

Here is a drink for every one that been in touch with me at Twitter, Facebook or elsewhere (I will become tipsy - but it is worth it). I am already looking forward to some new events and happenings next year. My project - a new customer website will be launched in beginning of March.

Dear Google, If you are going to harvest information about me - please do it right. Some of these searches above isn´t mine. That facehole.com lookup looks pretty strange for example.

Updated 2011-02-03 This actually one of the most "painful" blog posts I ever have written since it lived its own life. Refused to be controlled...got too long. I lost the subject a few times and got back on the track a few times. But I refuse to rework it once again. If you stay tuned you get the answer... One of my life philosophies is "It has to be fun ". Where did it come from and why?

This is the view from my living room Sunday morning 11:00. It is -10 degrees Celsius and snowstorm outside. Despite this I sit beside the fire wishing this winter will as great as last one. Lots of snow and skiing. In this part of the country it usually rains all winter. One new years day it was the same temperature as at midsummer +15 degrees Celsius.

I recently noticed a new feature at Facebook – Facebook "group hijacking". What I mean is that you no longer get an invitation to a group when someone wants you to join. You become a member even if you´re not interested A red notification and a line in your feeder is the only visible evidence for the fact that you now belong to a group you perhaps not want to be connected with.

Today it is one years since I sat in a newly opened Sushi bar trying to read Lao Tse for the first time ever. The text was in English and I only had my old Ericsson P1 mobile. The meal was great but I had problems with the text. Then I am not only referring to the mobile interface - I mean the content too. Considering how the old feudal China was organized those texts must have been a great

Why do I blog in English one of my best friends often asks me? Why do it in a language you do not master? Why not write in Swedish instead? First then you will be able to change something! I have often thought about this too. Why persist in something doomed to fail? In 2002 I applied for a job I really wanted. It was a Swedish Insurance company – boat insurances – with customers all over the

or when you cannot see the trees because of the wood I often hear that design isn´t as important on Intranet as on external websites. I sometimes seriously think these people must have misunderstood the essence and function of good design. Or do we not speak about the same thing? Good design helps the eye to find what´s important on a web page no matter what content there is. Of course the

Things you never would like a future employer to read. But they are there….almost as impossible to wipe out. A few days ago I wanted to check up how to remove tweets from Google's index. Sadly the
