New year and new beginnings, but before I kick off the new year I’m going to provide a quick look back at what happened during the year that’s passed.

• Fulfilled one of my childhood dreams and begun working for IBM.
• Bought a car.
• Decided I needed a drivers license and begun taking driving lessons.
• Found shopping at eBay and bought some cool stuff and a new server, IBM of course.
• Became a proud owner of a DEC PDP-11.
• Had the opportunity to see a DEC TOPS 20 at University of Uppsala.
• Thanks to my new job at IBM I had the honor to meet a bunch of IBM System Z mainframes in real life.
• Got acquaint with IBM AIX and IBM PowerSystems servers.
• Had one of the rooms at home become my computer collection room (a.k.a. the computer museum) .
• Bought an old Rital server rack for my computer collection room.

Well, that’s pretty much the interesting parts of my 2011 and I hope that 2012 takes on the challenge to top that. However there’s one thing more important than everything else, I managed to not scare away my fiance and my friends by being my crazy self. Since I had them drive me around and carry my heavy computers I’m grateful they haven’t told me to fsck off.

As supposed even I have a few new years resolutions, some more private than others. Two I can share with all of you is that I’ll be working hard to get my drivers license and the other is the same as I have given every year for a long time and that is to learn something new every day.

At last, but not least I want to wish you all a Happy New Year!!!

I’ve been working on moving all my computers to one room where I can play around with them. It’s almost finished now and all computers and network equipment is in there, but nothing is hooked up to anything yet. That will have to be a later project. Here’s a sneak peek on my computer room, and don’t forget to check out the gallery for all pictures.
