👋 Hi, I'm Anders!

This is my corner on the Internet. Relatively new in this particulary spot, but have been found on the same url since 1998. Being new here means that some things might not work as expected, yet.

74 posts in English so far (and even more if you understand Swedish). Don't want to miss the next one? Use RSS, that's still a thing.
