Seb
says:


hello


Erik
says:


Hi
there,


Erik
says:


I
saw that you were trying to find a name for a Norwegian website?





Seb
says:


that's
right


Erik
says:


Ok,
what type of website is it then?


Seb
says:


one
moment please


Erik
says:


ok,
no problem


Seb
says:


the
website is a free games portal, it's currently available at the
temporary address
http://www.bazibokon.com


Seb
says:


good
domain names would be local translations of domains like this:


freegames


onlinegames


1001games


funnygames/coolgames/megagames,
any popular adjective


iplay


playhere





domains
containing the local most used translation of "games" are
preferred for search engine purposes





Erik
says:


Ok,
the local version of games is 'spill', in Norwegian.


Erik
says:


It
should contain that


Erik
says:


Like
there is a famous games-portal in Norway, (that my nephew used to
use), it's called '123 spill'. That's your competitor, I'd guess.


Erik
says:


I
think
www.spill.no
would have been fine.


Erik
says:


I'll
check if that's free


Seb
says:


very
little chance that it's free


Erik
says:


ok,
I have to think a while, just one moment please


Seb
says:


on
www.eurodns.com
you can see if it's free


Seb
says:


this
one:


Seb
says:


http://www.innter.net/en/domain/domains/n/no_domain.php


Erik
says:


Hi,
I've talked with a mate of mine that also was on MSN, and we think
www.tusenspill.no
is a good name.


Erik
says:


It
means thousand games


Erik
says:


and
the url isn't used


Erik
says:


It's
also reminds of the other popular portal for kids, 123 spill, and a
popular team-park in Norway, called 'Tusenfryd'


Erik
says:


So
we think that name would work, for kids etc


Erik
says:


if
thats your target-group


Erik
says:


(Like
a competetor for 123 spill)


Seb
says:


alright,
let me get back to you in a sec


Erik
says:


ok,
no problem


Seb
says:


alright


Seb
says:


thanks
for your efforts so far


Seb
says:


I'm
taking tusenspill into consideration


Erik
says:


ok,
that's brilliant


Erik
says:


I'll
get back to you if I can think of any other names as well


Erik
says:


but
that's the best name I could think of now


Erik
says:


it's
like the fun-fair, so I think it could be a hit among the kids, who
play at 123 spill


Seb
says:


I
like it


Erik
says:


it's
has a good sound to it 'Tusenspill', I think, in Norwegian


Seb
says:


I
wasn't convinced as I generally don't like written numbers


Erik
says:


ok,
that's brilliant


Seb
says:


but
in this case there might be something to it


Erik
says:


just
contact me back then, when you know more about the name etc


Erik
says:


ok,
no problem


Erik
says:


you
have my e-mail adresse?


Erik
says:


do
you want my phone-number perhaps?


Erik
says:


or
I could send you my CV


Erik
says:


there
all the information should be


Erik
says:


just
one moment please


Seb
says:


well


Seb
says:


in
fact this was it for the time being


Seb
says:


the
website is there, I needed to register a domain







Waiting for Seb to accept the file "CV - Erik
Ribsskog.rtf" (7 Kb, less than 1 minute with a 28.8 modem).
Please wait for a response or
Cancel
(Alt+Q)
the file transfer.






Erik
says:


ok,
I'll guess I'll hear from you, later then, when you have decided


Erik
says:


thanks
for the co-working then


Seb
says:


maybe
we could think for a little longer?


Seb
says:


I
don't like the idea of registering without considering any other
options


Seb
says:


if
you have the time


Erik
says:


yes,
that's no problem at all


Erik
says:


yes,
I'll keep the MSN window open there, or you can think about this for
the rest of the week


Erik
says:


that's
no problem at all


Seb
says:


how
about some names with cool adjectives


Seb
says:


coolgames,
funnygames, etc


Seb
says:


you
can paste a list here


Seb
says:


I'll
do the checking for availibility etc


Erik
says:


ok,
no problem


Erik
says:


Megaspill


Seb
says:


funny
that you mention that


Erik
says:


Minispill
(my mate said on MSN)


Seb
says:


I
have already registered megaspel.se a long time ago


Seb
says:


for
a swedish website


Erik
says:


ok
i see, it should work in Norwegian as well


Erik
says:


maybe
a bit old-fashioned name, but it should work


Erik
says:


since
'Mega' was like a big term in the 90's


Erik
says:


like
something cool to say


Seb
says:


I
now see that registering a .no domain can be quite complicated


Erik
says:


ok


Erik
says:


it
needs to be a name to do with the website or company name/activity


Seb
says:


website


Erik
says:


so
it shouldn't be a problem registering, if I'd guess


Seb
says:


ah
I see


Seb
says:


ok


Erik
says:


yeah,
they want to regulate the names


Seb
says:


you
need company registration in norway


Erik
says:


but
it shouldn't be a problem in this case


Seb
says:


and
a postal address in norway


Erik
says:


ok
i see


Erik
says:


ok,
i wasn't aware of that


Erik
says:


I
called Norid once, I could call them tomorrow and check if you really
need that


Seb
says:


Broennoeysund
number


Seb
says:


I'm
pretty sure you need one


Erik
says:


ok,
ic


Erik
says:


ok,
i'll have a look at the website


Seb
says:


I'll
go for a .com domain name I guess


Erik
says:


ok,
i see


Seb
says:


tusenspill.com
is available


Seb
says:


is
.com a domain that is commonly used in norway?


Seb
says:


or
is it mostly .no


Erik
says:


it's
mostly .no, but .net and .com aren't unusual eighter


Erik
says:


but
.no is the best I'd say


Erik
says:


somone
use .nu


Seb
says:


it
means "now" ?


Erik
says:


.no?
means norway


Erik
says:


.nu
is just almost .no


Erik
says:


it
means 'now' in old-fashioned Norwegian


Erik
says:


(like
Danish)


Seb
says:


and
dutch


Seb
says:


I'm
from Amsterdam


Erik
says:


ok,
I wasn't aware of that


Erik
says:


ok,
I almost rented a room in a house in Amstelveen some years back


Erik
says:


nice
city


Seb
says:


that's
funny


Seb
says:


I
live in the old heart om Amsterdam


Seb
says:


of*


Seb
says:


5
minutes from central station


Erik
says:


ok,
I know Rembrants plein


Seb
says:


5
minutes from here too


Erik
says:


yeah
i know the train station


Erik
says:


ok,
not bad, i lived at a hotel, close to Rembrands plein


Seb
says:


so
you checked out the clubs there


Erik
says:


can't
remember the name exatly now


Seb
says:


when
was this?


Erik
says:


yes,
i was at a big club there


Seb
says:


escape?


Erik
says:


where
they frisked you, when you went in there


Erik
says:


back
in 2005 i guess


Seb
says:


or
studio 80


Seb
says:


alright


Seb
says:


frisking's
not very unusual right


Erik
says:


can't
remember exatcly, but it was on the ground-floor


Erik
says:


it
was a stylish place


Seb
says:


what
did you do here?


Erik
says:


ok


Erik
says:


i
just had some drinks, it looked like it was a cool club


Seb
says:


I
mean, you were in Amsterdam for what?


Erik
says:


i
was really studying computing in Sunderland that year, but my modules
weren't approved by my home university in Oslo


Erik
says:


so
i went to some European cities, on my way back to Norway, before I
worked on my uncles farm in Norway, for the rest of the year


Seb
says:


sounds
nice


Erik
says:


there
were problems with the Norwegian study finance and with the Oslo
University College


Erik
says:


yeah,
I tried to settle in Amsterdam and London, but it isn't that easy
always when you haven't got a job or a place to live


Seb
says:


(registering
tusenspill.com a good choice?)


Seb
says:


true


Seb
says:


I
read an article once about Amsterdam looking attractive in the
beginning


Seb
says:


but
being really hard to settle down on the long term


Erik
says:


yeah,
i think tusenspill.com could be fine


Seb
says:


I
pay 4 times the rent of my neighbours


Seb
says:


unexplainable
things like that


Erik
says:


or
megaspill.com is maybe better, since .com is English


Erik
says:


It
should be tusenspill.no


Seb
says:


megaspill
is taken


Erik
says:


or
tusenspill.nu then


Erik
says:


I
have to think some more about this


Seb
says:


I
registered tusenspill.com already


Erik
says:


ok,
i guess it's ok


Seb
says:


if
you find something way better I can still take that one


Seb
says:


it's
only 5.99


Erik
says:


ok
i see


Erik
says:


i
can try to think of a better name


Erik
says:


and
then i can send you an e-mail, if i find something that i think is
better


Seb
says:


ok


Seb
says:


how
about payment for your work so far?


Erik
says:


so
then we can eg. take this on email etc, tomorrow etc


Erik
says:


ok


Seb
says:


a
small fee through paypal perhaps?


Erik
says:


yeah,
that would be brilliant


Seb
says:


what
do you propose?


Erik
says:


i
have a paypal account somewhere


Erik
says:


even
if i doesn't use it that much


Erik
says:


i
dont know, what have the other translators got?


Erik
says:


like
one hours work, i guess


Erik
says:


something
like that


Seb
says:


I
paid 10 USD to the other translator


Seb
says:


half
an hour work


Erik
says:


ok,
something like that then


Erik
says:


ok


Seb
says:


what
paypal address?


Erik
says:


well,
if it's the e-mail address you need again


Seb
says:


I
can wire it to you as w ell


Erik
says:


then
its eribsskog@gmail.com


Seb
says:


if
that's what you prefer


Seb
says:


in
that case I need IBAN/BIC


Erik
says:


ok,
I'll just check the paypal-accout again


Erik
says:


just
one moment please


Erik
says:


Hi,
I'll just send you an e-mail later today, with the paypal-details


Erik
says:


couse
I'm not using paypal that often


Erik
says:


so
then you can just pay it later this week


Erik
says:


it's
no hurry


Erik
says:


ok?


Seb
says:


the
sooner the better


Seb
says:


because
I tend to be short of memory


Erik
says:


Ok,
I'll send an e-mail later today then


Seb
says:


alright


Erik
says:


I
dont use the paypal that often


Seb
says:

Erik
says:

Seb
says:

Erik
says:

Erik
says:

Erik
says:


OK,
if your still there


Erik
says:


I
had some problems with the paypal-account since i don't use it that
much


Seb
says:


yes


Erik
says:


but
I called my bank, and got the IBAN/BIC


Erik
says:


IBAN
should be GB24RBOS16240610964827


Erik
says:


BIC
should be: RBOSGB2L


Erik
says:

I'll try to sort with the Paypal-account one of the next days

Seb
says:

you have any suggestions in norwegian?


Erik
says:


ok


Erik
says:


just
one moment please


Erik
says:

says:

means games


Seb
says:

see


Seb

Sanders Spill also be possible

Erik
says:


brb


Seb
says:


123spill
is popular in norway?


Erik
says:


Yes,
I remember when I studied in Sunderland


Erik
says:


then
my sister wanted to visit me there, in the Christmas holiday


Erik
says:


and
then she brought her young son, who is born in 1995, I think


Erik
says:


so
he was nine years old, or something


Erik
says:


and
he always wanted to play 123 spill


Erik
says:


so
I couldn't use my computer there


Erik
says:


so
thats one of the reasons I got delayed with my studies there and went
to London and Amsterdam etc


Erik
says:


they
live in Oslo, so I they know what's cool for kids


Erik
says:


she
also brought her friend, Siv, from Norway, and her son


Erik
says:


and
they stayed from before Christmas to after New Year


Erik
says:


so
I don't know what they where thinking


Erik
says:


they
stayed for almost two weeks I think


Seb
says:


you
weren't too pleased?


Erik
says:


so
there was always something going on


Erik
says:


no,
i had my last year project to work on


Erik
says:


at
the same time, i usually spent christmas at my sisters place


Erik
says:


(a
java project)


Erik
says:


so
I couldn't say no, when she wanted to come


Erik
says:


but
they stayed a bit long, and couldn't afford to live at a hotel, so I
had to speak with some mates, at the University campus, so they lived
next door, and I always had to borrow away my computer


Erik
says:


but
it was really my mistake, who said this was ok, when she asked


Erik
says:


so
that's how this is


Erik
says:


so
I just sat in the lounge in our flat, over christmas and new year,
and spoke with the German students, who didn't go home for Christmas


Erik
says:


so
I didn't get to do my final year project


Erik
says:


and
when my study-loan arrived, four months late, then my studies were so
delayed, so there wasn't much sense in continuing


Erik
says:


i
wouldn't get my degree anyway


Erik
says:


so
that's why I ended up in London and Amsterdam etc


Seb
says:


nothing
wrong with some adventure from time to time


Seb
says:


how
old are you?


Erik
says:


and
then I think I've been used as a 'target-guy' by the american police,
because I went on a flight from Detroit, and after that I think I was
messed with by some kind of special police force or something, since
they said I only had some old stuff in a shed in Norway, but it was
really antiques from my Danish grand-mother, and my machine-gun from
the Norwegian Home-defence, (in a City self-storag


Erik
says:


storage.


Erik
says:


But
the american airport police said, 'some old stuff in a shed' I think.
So I think they have been using me as a spy/target guy, after that,
in some way, at this is what I've overheard, here in Liverpool.


Erik
says:


And
I also have an employment-case against Bertelsmann/Arvato, that could
be connected with this.


Erik
says:


So
there have been some adventure


Erik
says:


and
now the only job-offering I've got is on behalf of MSN in Belfast, so
I think this could be some similar New World Order-spy stuff, from
some special police, manipulating.


Erik
says:


I'm
38


Seb
says:


that's
pretty tough


Seb
says:


how
come of the conspiracy theory?


Erik
says:


well,
the american police sent me back to Europe, without leting me in to
the USA, for no real reason really.


Seb
says:


strange


Seb
says:


must
be frightening that they know what you ahve in your shed


Erik
says:


and
they wrote some shit in my passport


Erik
says:


no,
i haven't got a shed


Erik
says:


it's
a storage with the city self storage


Erik
says:


a
company in Oslo


Erik
says:


but
the officer said I had some old stuff in a shed


Erik
says:


and
really it was an old beer-mug, in silver, from the 16th century, from
my Danish grandmothers nobel familiy


Erik
says:


So
it was older than the American constitution, I think


Erik
says:


so
I tried to not be inpolite, and brag to much about it


Erik
says:


and
then he just thougt it was some old stuff in a shed


Erik
says:


and
then they thought i was a bum, i think


Erik
says:


and
have used me as a spy/target guy, i think


Seb
says:


what's
a target guy?


Erik
says:


i
dont really know, ive just overheard it


Erik
says:


but
i think there were some mob at Bertelsmann/Microsoft


Erik
says:


that
used the nordic women there


Erik
says:


and
it could be that i was put in there, by the ones who exploited the
women


Erik
says:


its
a big case on scribd


Erik
says:


with
a lot of documentation


Erik
says:


one

My photo
Overhørte på Rimi Bjørndal, (jeg jobbet som butikksjef/leder i ti år, i mange forskjellige butikker), i 2003, at jeg var forfulgt av 'mafian', mm. Har etter dette ikke fått rettighetene mine, i mange saker. Blogger derfor om problemer med å få rettigheter, mm. Mine memoarer, (Min Bok 1-10), kan også finnes på johncons-blogg, (se: 'Etiketter'). Jeg blogger også om slektsforskning, (etter at min danskfødte mormor, som var etter adelige/kongelige, døde i 2009). Har også vært såvidt innom Høyre/Unge Høyre, i sin tid. Har også studert informasjonsbehandling/IT/Computing, (på NHI, HiO IU og University of Sunderland). Har også bakgrunn fra handel og kontor, (grunnkurs, økonomi med markedsføring og data). Er/var også i Heimevernet, (etter at jeg ble overført dit, etter førstegangstjeneste i infanteriet, (og en rep-øvelse i mob-hæren), i forbindelse med omorganiseringer, i Forsvaret, etter den kalde krigen). Blir også utsatt for mye nettmobbing, mm. johncons-blogg, (og mine memoarer og nettbutikk), er kjent fra TV-programmet Tweet4Tweet, i 2012, (selv om jeg måtte klage, for programmet var veldig useriøst/nedlatende, mm.).
