Just watched a very interesting session on Cloud Computing by James Hamilton from MIX10. http://channel9.msdn.com/events/MIX/MIX10/EX01 Really interesting about why you should use cloud computing instead of buying servers. Personally I already run my personal stuff in EC2, S3 and GAE and I will not go back to running an SMTP-server in the closet. Also my ISP had a 10 day outage this summer and emails don’t like that ;)

Ever since I wrote my master thesis I have had an interest in weather. My thesis was about metadata updates in a real time database at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological institute. The thesis was mainly about weather stations that deliver observations used when running weather models. After my thesis I ended up as a consultant but for the last 2,5 years I’m back at SMHI doing various work, mostly backend.
