If you wonder why this blog has been so quiet lately, it not (just) that I’m getting lazier. Together with several of my colleagues at Steria Norway, I’ve started up a blog at http://sterkblanding.no. “Sterk blanding” is Norwegian for “potent mix”, and we hope that as representatives for several disciplines, we will be able to give a broad perspective on IT and management issues.

I’ve not yet decided what posts to publish here and what posts to publish on Sterk Blanding. My present idea is that I’ll publish most of my English articles here at Thinking inside a Bigger Box and Norwegian language articles at Sterk Blanding. But I can be persuaded to change my mind.

For my Norwegian readers, enjoy my articles on Sterk Blanding:
