ARS: I don't believe it!

Welcome to this introduction to Researcher -7+57-1-7. My name, out in the analog world, is Bjørnar Tuftin, but online I go by NAITA. I'm a Norwegian, and in the day-time I pretend to be a computer specialist in the largest telco in the country. Lots more information on me can be found on my homepage Bjørnar's Nowhere Land.

Here at H2G2 I'm the founder of Association of Researcher Skeptics and The Viewer-Tag Annoyance League (ViTAL), I hold a chair at The Freedom From Faith Foundation as Disciple of Logical Positivism and Lord Almighty of Imaginary Realms and I'm a member of The Nordic Researchers Club. I try to contribute interesting entries to the edited guide, and to be a positive influence in peer review. Make up your own mind about whether or not I'm succeeding. ;)

If this notice annoys you,
Unknown Visitor,
come join the
Viewer-Tag Annoyance League

I've recently tempted Raindawn to register here, and coaxed her into linking to me, so I guess I have to return the favour. ;)

Generalissimo Yenool of the YFRA is most definitely, probably, maybe my alter ego, perhaps.

musicalnote bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. musicalnote
I went on a really long bike ride yesterday. I was planning a little two hour trip to test myself, since although I ride every day it's just the four km journey to work and back. Only I had a second goal as well, seeing if I could cut through the forest on my planned trip to grandma, instead of going the long way round.

After an hour I wasn't far enough to really know, after an hour and a half I was so far that I was almost certain and no point in turning back then, was it? After two hours I knew, and I'd also just finished a really steep decent. The choice then was, go back up the hill and through the forest, or go round. Better roads, probably less differences in height, and close to half as long again in distance... I chose the long way round. Eventually I was completely worn out, had no drink left, bitterly regretted, each time I went past a petrol station, my choice not to bring a little money, or even some chocolate.
In the end I made my way home from a 70 km, 5 hour trip. I'm going on a few shorter trips before making that trip again though, and I'm bringing more water and some food the next time. biggrin

I really need to write an entry of my own soon, or my sub-ed effort will push my own work off the main edited entries list. I just have to finish the current batch first. And I have to stop posting from work. And I have to become a responsible person. And I have to work on finishing what I sta

Amazing. I returned my first sub-ed'ed Entry on Friday, and today it's on the front page. And yesterday I had my Scientific Method entry there, which has been with the editors for months. What _are_ they doing up there in the towers? biggrin
