Saturday July 13th 2002 Rest in peace my beloved grandfather As some of you know and some may have suspected my grandfather, Arnljótur Guðmundsson, has passed away. He died peacefully in the ICU due to a heart failure at the age of 73, on Sunday the 7th of July, shortly after the doctors had givenRead more

Wednesday July 3rd 2002 Eating party We slept until noon today, and I spent a couple of hours putting away all our bills and paperwork stuff that had gathered since we were here around Christmas. I then went and took my youngest brother to buy a ping pong paddle, which I’d promised him for hisRead more

Tuesday July 2nd 2002 Family!! And then some!! We went to visit my grandparents today, only to find that my granddad is now at the hospital with blood posioning… not good. After seeing him at the hospital, we then went to the US Embassy and it took us over an hour to fill out theRead more

Home sweet home Had a nice trip. It’s 2:36am and there’s still some daylight left. We’re off to bed. My ftp seems to be down so this will not appear until some nice officemate of mine restarts the machine back in California… sorry!Read more

Monday July 1st 2002 Extreme inactivity Yes, we’ve done absolutely nothing!! Well, Finnur started upgrading daddy’s computer to Windows XP on Saturday and has been quite busy since. He should have it all done by today – well he needs to because we’re leaving at around 6pm! Meanwhile we’ve just stayed in, watched telly, slept,Read more

Friday 28th June 2002 Shopping As is by now customary when I go to England, I went with my dad and Anthony to the Bluewater shopping mall for a “bit of shopping”. Finnur stayed behind because he needed to work on his labtop, since he only gets two stinkin’ weeks of summer holiday (silly USA),Read more

Thursday 27th June 2002 Live to the nation! Well, oh well, we’ve left the USA and arrived in another acronym, the UK. The flight went splendidly except that our tv monitors didn’t work – which was ok since the movies sucked anyway! Instead we each got £25 to spend on the duty free shop, whichRead more

Þriðjudagur 25.júní 2002 Síðasti dagur fyrir frí Í dag birtist Gunnlaugur Þór Briem (a.k.a. Gulli by necessary simplification) í Packard – sem væri svo sem ekki í frásögur færandi nema að hann á heima á Íslandi þar sem hann forritar eins og óður maður fyrir Dímon… Gulli var í Stanford á undan mér þar semRead more

Sunnudagur 23. júní 2002 Ýkt pakkaður dagur! Dagurinn hófst á því að ég skutlaði Finni í vinnuna en tók í staðinn Tomma, Stínu, Erni og Marylinn upp að disknum stóra svo ég gæti ýtt á takkana mína og sýnt þeim útsýnið. Þegar þangað var komið tókum við erftir því að það voru engir skýjabakkar áRead more

Laugardagur 22. júní 2002 Lítill heimur Fyrst af öllu, til hamingju með masterinn Arnbjörg og Kristján! 🙂 Í öðru lagi þá komu Tommi og Kristín til Bay Area í dag. Tommi var með Finni í TVÍ á sínum tíma og síðan aftur í BS náminu í Háskólanum í Reykjavík hér um árið. Þeir unnu líkaRead more
