Hey Jörgen,
What part of the country are you actually in?

Ah.. I was just wondering. Might go to Stockholm for a weekend soon. At the moment the flights to Stockholm are only €4 and the tax is about €7 so a return cost of about €30 would make a weekend trip a viability. Myself and Ulla might go in a few weeks. Just said I'd ask what part you lived in
I live in the dot called Waterford, http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ei.html[^], which actually looks to be about 10 miles off the mark.

Ah yes! Low fare tickes. They rule! They had a similar drive here in Sweden last summer/autumn. I hope they do it again!
So what'ya gonna do in Stockholm? I really recommend http://www.tekmu.se/english/index.htm[^], http://www.nrm.se/[^] and http://www.modernamuseet.se/front/[^]. The first one is not so much about Sweden per se, although they mention a lot of inventions and stuff produced in Sweden. The two latter ones are nice if you want to know something about the past and the present in Sweden. And then you have a lot of old buildings with interesting architecture. (Not that I know anything about that, but that's what an american friend of mine said. Interesting archtictecture. Oh well, he's probably right. ) And then you have the usual stuff-to-do-when-in-a-foreign-country (have a romantic dinner with your female companion, romantic strolls through some old and nice part of town, etc..)

Is it supposed to be 10 miles inland or towards the coast?

About 10 miles to the right... just about to fall into the little inlet form the sea that's there.
I dunno if we'll go for definite.... I mightn't have the time. 
Anyway... I'm finished work so I'm off. talk to ya later.

If you feel like hiring a competent programmer (resume available upon request), I'm the one you're looking for.
I would love to work in the state of Washington, preferably Seattle.
If your corporation is named Microsoft, don't hesitate. I'm the guy you're looking for!

Well, hey it's worth a shot. But then again, I had my ramblings about IE some months ago. I'm probably on the Microsoft black list now.

Such a shame that Microsoft is technically in Redmond, and not in Seattle proper.
Hey, if you have a fix for all those INTERNAL COMPILER ERRORs that I get when incrementally building my VC++ code in Visual .NET, I'd recommend they hire you, too.

I haven't really been trying. First I need to save up some money for starting capital. Then I need to come in contact with someone willing to employ me. I have a friend in Dallas who's willing to help me, even with housing before I get my own apartment!
I'm also waiting for the green card lottery draw. With any luck, I'll have a green card for the next year. That would make it much easier for me to get a job in the US.
Currently, I'm concentrating on getting a starting capital.

Where did you do your Masters??? Research?

I earned it at the Karlstad University [^] (The english version of their website is crappy though).
My dissertation was about a simple computer security model which basically treats executable code like users.
- Users must login to utilize the system - my model requires the same of executable code (or Binary Executable Code, BEC, as I called it)
- A BEC can only perform those operations which it has been granted - basically a BEC needs access rights
1)
A BEC can be anything that's intended to execute on the bare hardware - DLLs, EXEs, kernels and kernel modules. The concept of such components logging on may be mind boggling. In practice they don't type in their names and passwords. Instead, vendors (or perhaps you the system admin) can sign BECs - thus giving them an authors identity and making them tamperproof. Very much like ActiveX and assembly signing. When you the system admin is given the BEC(s), you register them by name in a database. The name is the absolute path to the BEC. For instance C:\Windows\notepad.exe would be your name of notepad and it would most likely be signed by Microsoft. If and only if you want to execute notepad, it has to be 1) signed and 2) registered. This would indeed eliminate a lot of problems. Massive virii infections for instance. Modify a BEC and its signature is invalidated - it can't execute. It's also a very good measure against hackers who download their own "t00lz" - tools which isn't signed to begin with.
Of course, the registry of known BECs is protected by a mandatory access control facility, allowing only users in the security officers role to modify it.
2)
The registry also keep access right lists for each registered BEC. Initially a list is empty - thus the BEC can't do anything. Then a security officer adds to the list. The access rights are quite sofisticated. You can specify files it can read, write, append. Directories it can traverse or list. Network connections it can make (IP-send) and network connections it can host (IP-recv). Etc. This is very effective against remote exploits - for example, if you haven't given IIS the right to execute cmd.exe, then such an attack would be moot. Of course, these rules would accept wild cards.
Eventhough an implementation was out of scope for the dissertation, I was planning to implement all this in the Linux kernel using a framework called RSBAC[^]. I implemented the signature scheme. Then I got my masters degree and figured - I don't want to grow old at a University and I sure as hell don't want to continue teaching (I have a problem talking to large crowds ).

At one point, I was really longing to append the title PhD on my card. But then I realized that:
- I wouldn't have any life whatsoever - research follow you everywhere!
- I would have to teach and present papers - I have a problem talking to crowds
- I would have a problem getting "simpler" jobs even if I wanted to. Who in their right mind would hire a PhD for software engineering type of jobs? (Unless it's research related). I may not want to be a researcher all my life
So I scrapped my PhD-dreams. However, I have not lost the will to learn new stuff. If I ever make a sh*t load of money (i.e., don't have to work anymore), I'll be back for more. Physics would be really fun! In highschool, I had my mind set on physics. But then my math teacher killed my dream. One lab assignment was about writing a simple program which would display a mandelbrot fractal - a software engineer was born..
ps. I don't want to call myself a 100% software engineer. I'm part artist too. I don't believe in using "prefab" software techniques to solve all problems. IMHO, A touch of artistry is required. ds.

Good points. Especially the last one... I never really thought of that.. I suppose I don't have to at this stage [Still a student].
Your dissertation looks cool. Is it available on the web???
What you working at nowadays?

Me neither until I took a look and what PhD's do after their dissertations.

I used to have it electronically. But stupid as I am, I never put it on two separate machines nor did I burn it to a CD. I may have the original LATEX sources on my old university account. I know I sent one copy to my professor as well. Thanks for reminding me! I'll try to recover it on monday.
Luckily, I still have the printed version And even if I lose mine, I can still read it at the university library.

Software Design/Engineering mostly. Right now I'm stuck with java as you may have seen in the Soapbox. My professional life is a mess right now. Maybe I should have stuck to academia?

See subject. If someone has this mp3 (good quality), please let me know. I had it few years ago, but I lost it in a hard disk crash (or Partition Magic mishap - can't remember which ).
I've got it now. Four whole albums! Wheee!
