About me and this blog

This blog is where I save useful code nuggets I come across during my journey into .NET, Episerver, Android and iOS development.

I'm a .NET and Episerver developer living near the forest in Oslo with my wife and two boys.

I'm working as a consultant for Novacare, my hobby is running and creating apps for the webservice Telefonterror.no, a service to help consumers against telemarketers.
