Hello! Hello! And thanks for dropping by my little home page! My name is Ole. I’m a 32 year old guy from Norway. I work as a teacher at Rud school (kids age 6-12). This year I have kids in the 5.th grade. I’ve also worked as a security guard (Securitas) for 4 years.
I’m also a part time student: Master degree in languages, culture and digital communication.
I now live at Lillestrøm. But I’m from Otta in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. I grew up at Otta – and lived there until 1996 when I started my higher education at Hedmark University College, Faculty of Education, at Hamar. These years of my life were very interesting and educational.
But then I had to do my compulsory military service. In Norway we have one year service (for almost 40% of the men…). I was in the Army - and had the boot-camp at Jørstadmoen – outside Lillehammer. But the rest of my service I was stationed at Heggelia in Troms – in the northern part of Norway. It’s up north – and has a hostile environment. Cold – dark – snowy and windy – and literally miles, miles away from any human made city… Yep; the Norwegian version of Russian Siberia 
I was an assistant at the military driving school at Bardufoss (Forsvarets Kjøreskole Bardufoss). Our students were military personnel who learnt to drive trucks and busses – both for domestic and international services (KOFOR). Although I had an OK service – July 5. 2001 was a *very* nice day: I was dismissed – once again I was a free man. More about the 318-days I was in the Army (Norwegian only).
After the year in the Army I decided to study for an extra year something I really like – computers. So I started with 1-Year Program in Date Processing at Hedmark University College, Faculty of Computer Science, Rena. This was very interesting.
In 2002 I started to work as a teacher at Rud school. And it has been some ups and downs: But I must say in general I like to work as a teacher. Especially at Rud.
Interests: I like movies. My favourite director is Leone . But I also like sci-fi / fantasy-movies: And right now there are quite a few good ones: Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, War of the Worlds, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Fantastic Four. But the best movie I’ve seen this summer has to be Der Untergang. I also like historical movies / tv-programs. And when it comes to literature I also read alot of historical books (like “Stalingrad”, “Berlin” and “D-day”).
Comics are also one of my interests – and Calvin & Hobbes is one of my favourite. But I also like the more classic cartoons like Donald Duck (drawn by Barks or Don Rosa – or Marco Rota).
Football (Soccer): I’m a football-fan. Or that is: I was a bigger football-fan before. But I used to work as a security guard at the home games for Lillestrøm (LSK), so I got to watch a lot of Norwegian top football live. And I got paid for it also 
). Liverpool FC is the international team I’m a fan of. Or was…
Technology: I’ve always been interested in computers and other technically gadgets. The boring truth is that no one at school thinks it interesting to talk about the newest mobile phones, computers, etc. Luckily I have some friends who thinks it cool when I buy myself a new mobile phone But I was also a fan of Satellite-tv. At home, when I was a younger, we had a Satellite dish (with motor). The Simpsons and Futurama is also a “MustCTv”
I have two blogs: This one (olesverden.com) that is my personal blog; and my work / school blog at ojrosten.com .
Well that was some word about me – please feel free to send me an at
