It's Thursday! I remember sitting in the back of my parents 1978 red and white Bronco driving back home from their summer cabin. I excitedly told them that I was going to be an inventor when I grew up. I must have been reading some spy novel (with some gadgets) or watched some movie that inspired me. I still remember this…

It's Thursday! Man oh man! Who remembers the long phone cords, either to the phone itself or to the handset? Or the "phone table" that had an uncomfortable seat and a little side desk with a drawer for the phone book, of course :=) Soooo, what are some of your telephone memories? Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! Ever since I was 8 years old, southern California (or Kalifornía in Icelandic) has fascinated me. Back then, it was Christmas time yet I was wearing t-shirts and shorts. All the cool places to see. Just the whole vibe was totally rad, at least to me. Then about 8 years ago, we moved to the States and we…

It's Thursday! Not too long ago, I did a #TBT about keyboards and a great discussion spun out of that. In that thread, @Elena Koleva _Nemetschek Bulgaria_ mentioned a mouse and showed us a picture of it. Well, that is the inspiration for this #TBT. I've been using Logitech M330 for a while now and really like it. Sooooo,…

It's Thursday! Couple of weeks ago, I went on a long desired cruise with part of my family. We drove to LA and then sailed off with Carnival to Cabo San Lucas. Also stopped in Ensenada on the way home. It was such a great offline experience. Blue skies, blue ocean, the sunsets AMAZING! I really enjoyed the down time. And I…

It's Thursday! My son used to ride Motocross back in Iceland. During that time, we would watch all things related to dirt bikes.Seven years ago, and many years since the above picture was taken, we find ourselves in Utah and Supercross is coming! So we purchased couple of tickets and attended the event. It was a blast! So…

It's Thursday! I had horrible teeth and bad candy eating habit growing up. As a result, I had to go to the family dentist quite a bit. The thing is, this was in the early 80's, when the technology was not as fancy as today. Neither was the attitude and approach. My dentist was this older guys with big, chubby fingers. I…

It's Thursday! Recently a great friend of mine told me about this commercial, which he vividly remembers from the past. He came across it on YouTube and it brought such delightful memories. It was pretty cool listening to him talk about it. He inspired this #TBT post.Sooooo, what is favorite commercial (or just some fun…

It's Thursday! Well, I think my favorite memory is not paying bills :)Sooooo, what is your favorite memory?Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM 

It's Thursday! New year and we are getting older :=) As time passes, things change, right! Change is inevitable. Therefore, we are not doing today some of the things that we used to do. For example, rememer fixing the audio cassette tape with a pencil?Sooooo, what are some things that you used to do but don't any…

It's Thursday! My birthday is in May and my wife game me a a mechanical keyboard, which I had to return cuz it wasn´t quite the one I wanted :/ This would be my first mechanical keyboard in a LONG time and I wanted it to be a good one. So I did my "research" and stumbled on this one keyboard, see picture below, with a…

It's Thursday! I came across this test result paper I got 10,456 days ago (or 28 years, 7 months, and 15 days ago). This is the first time (and I think only time) in my LIFE that I've gotten 100% on an exam!Soooo, tell us about test taking memories - hopefully fun and enjoyable ones :) At least I hope I am not waking up…

Hi Community The new Confluence automation feature is great. Is there a way to manually trigger a Confluence rule (like we can in Jira)? TIA, KGM

It's Thursday! Welcome to the first Thursday of 2024 and happy...Some people make new year's resolutions, others don´t. I used to make them but then when end of January or middle of February came alone, I just kind of forgot about them. Mind you, there are some things we never forget... Do you make new year's…

It's Thursday! For those of you celebrating Christmas, I want to say happy Christmas! In Iceland, we have 13 santa clauses and each has his name and trait. My wife has collected them all: I hope you will have a wonderful time with your family, friends, and loved ones this weekend and holiday season. Tell us about a good…

It's Thursday! Once upon a time, we lived in a duplex in Iceland. Our yard had a few fair sized trees (especially by Icelandic standards) and my kids were small. I decided to make them a tree house. My dad had a business long time ago importing office furniture. They came in crates which we would carefully take a part and…

Howdy y'all. I though I'd share what we did at one company to try to simplify and keep schemas organized. We used Project Category along with pre-defined simple standard naming convention to organize our work. Inherently, Project Category has no super powers except making it easier to search across multiple projects of the…

It's Thursday! And it's also Thanksgiving in America. Happy Thanksgiving all! I am really thankful for y'all.I hope you are having a great day, wherever you are, with some good people. If not, then hop on to Snapchat and start a chat with your virtual friend "My AI". I've enjoyed chatting with it. Soooo, tell us about some…

AIt's Thursday! Pizza seems to be liked by most people, well a lot of people at least... Some prefer calzone! I happen to LOVE pizza. I especially love pizza made on a pizza stone on the propane barbeque in the yard. Thin, crisp crust but not too crispy. After all, it is a pizza not a cracker! I think maybe the strangest…

It's Thursday! Happy 2023 and thanks for all the comments and likes during 2022. I can't believe a new year is already upon us. Traditionally in Iceland, we'd dress up for a formal meal on new year's eve. Have the meal. Then play games or visit with whomever we had invited over. Watch the "year in review" on the national…

It's Thursday! My hiking buddy and friend, Steve, and I often take a hike to this one, lone tree. The "trail head" is only about 10 min drive from where I used to live for over 2 years, so it was very convenient and close by. It is a pretty steep hike; we quickly go up in elevation. Very beautiful up there and so serene.…

It's Thursday! Couple of weeks ago, we went with my mom to Hale Centre Theatre here in Utah. She was visiting us and we had given her the tickets as a Christmas present. It was great fun. We dressed up and went out for dinner before going to the theatre. This trip reminded me when I was young and I went to the National…

It's Thursday! It is summer time and many people, where the weather is nice, attend outdoor concerts during the summer. So concert season is ramping up :)Last week, the CEOs of Tempo and Old Street Solutions got together for a great fireside chat, in which Chief Product Officer, Shannon, asked the gents what was their…

It's Thursday! Happy Halloween last Tuesday, for those that celebrate. Last Saturday, we celebrated a double birthday of our 2 daughters. They wanted to do a murder mystery game. It was suppose to take place in Venice 1750's so we got all dressed up and my wife decorated the place. Was super fun!Sooooo, what is a fun…

It's Thursday! In August of the glorious year of 1987, I travelled to Arizona in the United States to become an exchange student. I was 17 years old at the time so I got to be a senior in high school. I also got an opportunity to play on the football team (never played or understood the game before!). I don´t why I had…

It's Thursday! In 1983, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir was the president of Iceland. She was the world's first woman who was democratically elected as president. I was 13 years old. During the last couple of weeks of school, they didn´t really teach us. It was more like doing projects, going to museums and such. I signed up for…
