Due to little activity on the blog, I’ve decided to move the blog to the subdomain blog.lovholm.net and the corresponding path lovholm.net/blog. For those places this causes trouble with links I apologize. I hope to be able to write more in the years to come, although I know this blog is mostly for my own thoughts and there aren’t many readers. If you come across this, thank you for visiting, and let me know. It’s fun to know whether anyone…
This summer we did a trip around the Norwegian fjords and out to the islands at the North West coast of Norway. Here is our itinerary from this trip as well as some tips for you who either considers or already wants to visit the North West coast of Norway to see the famous fjords and sea landscapes. We started our trip in Oslo and planned to be out on the road for about one week. I’m fairly familiar with…
Phillips’ smart light system Hue has for long been synonymous with smart IoT light bulbs, and although they recently have received competition from IKEA Trådfri and Osram Lightify (and many more), it’s still the dominant platform for smart lighting. Basically Phillips Hue consists of the light bulbs, lamps or light strips which can be either white, white ambience or full colour, as well as the Hue Hub. In addition Phillips also sells buttons and sensors that can be used with…
I was born in 1986, and one of the names always being associated with this year is Chernobyl. Yesterday I had the ambivalent “pleasure” to visit parts of exclusion zone: the buffer zone, the Pripyat zone and the 10K zone in which the reactor is located. Towards the end of 2017 a new shelter, or sarcophagus, was put in place over the reactor. This, together with the old shelter and the work of 500.000 liquidators after the catastrophy, makes the…
From a long weekend trip to Svalbard during June 2017. Pictures are from Longyearbyen and from travels to Russian mining town Pyramiden and across the Adventsfjord.

The issue at hand here is to load a database with CSV-files in a generic way without having to write separate script for each table. This short Groovy-script is working based on two conventions: The name of the CSV-file matches the name of the table in the database. The name of the CSV-header matches the name of the column in the table. The script requires the CSV-files to be read in the folder “to_digest”. The connection details is placed in…
In recent years the activity on lovholm.net has decreased.. unfortunately. Hopefully, I will soon be able to kick-start some new articles, as I have picked up a few new things I want to share with the world over the last few years. As you may have noticed if you been visiting this page earlier, it does not look quite like it did a few months or five years ago. The last larger update of the page (WordPress engine updates excluded)…
Install SQLite To download SQLite you only need to download a file from the project homepage of SQLite. Select download, and precompiled download for your prefered operating system. Unzip the folder with the binary, and place it in a folder that is accessible from your command line interface (The terminal on Mac/*nix systems and Powershell or cmd on Windows). This is a folder that is in the path variable. Here is how you can add a folder to the path…
Å bestille en togreise i India kan være litt tricky, men er absolutt verdt å gjøre. Det er et enormt tognettverk mellom de forskjellige byene og regionene, og stor spennvidde i hvor god plass og service du får og hvor lang tid togene benytter. Ikke minst er det en flott måte å se landet mellom byene. Under vårt India-opphold benyttet vi Rajdhani (betyr hovedstad) mellom Mumbai og New Delhi og fikk på førsteklasse egen lugar, te, kaffe og tre-retters middag….
