I'm a consultant at a company called Generic Solutions AB, based in Stockholm, Sweden. We offer consulting services for various kinds of mission critical systems, so you get the opportunity to do some really interesting things around technology.
Have a look at my technical blog, where I discuss various things around software and related things. I write something there now and then; now it's been a while since I did.
If you're interested in software or systems architecture (and not only the web application or enterprise subtypes of architecture), then you should read my series on evaluating software architectures, where I explain the ideas behind the Software Architecture Analysis Method (SAAM), and the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM). These methods might seem abstract, but there's some reasonably deep wisdom and simplicity buried in the details.
Although I don't work in science any more, I've got a fairly recent scientific publication (2005): a chapter in Handbook of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence (or pick the Amazon page), together with Peter Jonsson. Quite fun to read if you're the kind of person that likes those kinds of things. I've got quite a lot of publications from my previous life in science; please check them out if you're interested! For those who like mathematics, I'm still keeping the old compendium on Abstract Algebra (in Swedish) online, that I wrote together with a friend, Pontus Gagge, long ago (which is 1993). Mathematics is timeless! It's actually quite good for learning the topic. I'm writing another blog, too (in Swedish), on Personal Development, where I publish more frequently. There, I deal with everyday psychological phenomena, which enable you to dig a little deeper into your reality. Kind of escaping from The Matrix. :-) Although the blog is written in Swedish, you can have a look at an article that I wrote in English for the magazine Interesting Times, to get a taste of what the blog is about. For my daily planning and acting, I'm using David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) system, and for that I've developed a macro package for GTD and Outlook 2007. Check it out, it's completely free to download and use. Its main points are that it is simple, and it survives syncing to a PDA and further on to another computer.
