Friends of Kim G. S. Øyhus

If you want something changed here, tell me.

• Inge Viken is also a programmer. Inge works at NGI, and he has deep knowledge of unix system programming, and othello programming, and neural networks as his specialty. Inge has a style of arguing that is unique.
  Quote:"I still maintain that the argument can be valid without respect to the definition of the subject."

• Kjetil B.Thomassen works at Verdison AS, programming vehicular surveillance. He hacks both computers and electronics, while working with unix and databases at work. Kjetil is a diehard RISCOS & ARM fan, which he has several of, in addition to the rest of his family.
  Quote:"Sad, but bad."

• Jens O. Nygaard who is a mathematician, working on ways to make surface flow calculations with fewer multiplications, and succeeding at it by inventing a sort of "spline-wavelets". He is a good programmer, whose programs always have something to do with mathematics. He is now employed at Sintef, working on geometric modelling with splines.
  Quote:"I was surprised at how complex my system was, when I tried to explain it."

• Roar Lauritzsen is better than Hewlett Packard at programming calculators. He really knows the art and science of making fast programs and beautiful graphics. If you have looked on weather on CNN or Norwegian TV2, then you have seen some of Roars work. He is now working with me at GenKey,
  Quote:"You know, life is not about making fast Othello programs. It is about calculating mandelbrot sets!"
  Quote:"Kim, how come the commercials never show how those Tampaxes are supposed to be used?"

• Geir Gundersen who is a Microsoft expert. Geir works at Profdoc as an I.T. consultant. He is a creative programmer who works well in MS Windows. His most notable contribution to the internet is his project of making the norwegian Bible available.
  Quote:"Don't underestimate the bandwidth of a Compaq Armada 7800 with 8,5 GB HD laying in a SAAB 900S."

• Ulrika Bengtsson who is an artist and a web designer. She has sometimes helped me with a little extra artistic touch on some of my projects. It can be quite surprising how much that can improve a design.
  Quote:"Art of today is more about references to art than artistry."

  Halt! Who goes there?
  What?
  Friend or foe?
  Who? Me?
  Friend Or Foe!
  Do I know you?
  Answer!
  Well, without knowing you, it's hard to tell. I mean, I quite like some people, others not so much.
  Answer!
  Well, it has to be said on balance very few of the people I account or rather counted as friends, most of them has been disintegrated you see, very few of them has piercing red eyes, black armour and laser rifles, so I think the answer is probably bearing towards...
  Hands up or i fire!
  Ah. Well that clinches it I am afraid. I don't think we are going to be friends.
