says:
hello
Erik
says:
Hi
there,
Erik
says:
I
saw that you were trying to find a name for a Norwegian website?
Seb
says:
that’s
right
Erik
says:
Ok,
what type of website is it then?
Seb
says:
one
moment please
Erik
says:
ok,
no problem
Seb
says:
the
website is a free games portal, it’s currently available at the
temporary address http://www.bazibokon.com
Seb
says:
good
domain names would be local translations of domains like this:
freegames
onlinegames
1001games
funnygames/coolgames/megagames,
any popular adjective
iplay
playhere
domains
containing the local most used translation of "games" are
preferred for search engine purposes
Erik
says:
Ok,
the local version of games is ‘spill’, in Norwegian.
Erik
says:
It
should contain that
Erik
says:
Like
there is a famous games-portal in Norway, (that my nephew used to
use), it’s called ‘123 spill’. That’s your competitor, I’d guess.
Erik
says:
I
think www.spill.no
would have been fine.
Erik
says:
I’ll
check if that’s free
Seb
says:
very
little chance that it’s free
Erik
says:
ok,
I have to think a while, just one moment please
Seb
says:
on
www.eurodns.com
you can see if it’s free
Seb
says:
this
one:
Seb
says:
http://www.innter.net/en/domain/domains/n/no_domain.php
Erik
says:
Hi,
I’ve talked with a mate of mine that also was on MSN, and we think
www.tusenspill.no
is a good name.
Erik
says:
It
means thousand games
Erik
says:
and
the url isn’t used
Erik
says:
It’s
also reminds of the other popular portal for kids, 123 spill, and a
popular team-park in Norway, called ‘Tusenfryd’
Erik
says:
So
we think that name would work, for kids etc
Erik
says:
if
thats your target-group
Erik
says:
(Like
a competetor for 123 spill)
Seb
says:
alright,
let me get back to you in a sec
Erik
says:
ok,
no problem
Seb
says:
alright
Seb
says:
thanks
for your efforts so far
Seb
says:
I’m
taking tusenspill into consideration
Erik
says:
ok,
that’s brilliant
Erik
says:
I’ll
get back to you if I can think of any other names as well
Erik
says:
but
that’s the best name I could think of now
Erik
says:
it’s
like the fun-fair, so I think it could be a hit among the kids, who
play at 123 spill
Seb
says:
I
like it
Erik
says:
it’s
has a good sound to it ‘Tusenspill’, I think, in Norwegian
Seb
says:
I
wasn’t convinced as I generally don’t like written numbers
Erik
says:
ok,
that’s brilliant
Seb
says:
but
in this case there might be something to it
Erik
says:
just
contact me back then, when you know more about the name etc
Erik
says:
ok,
no problem
Erik
says:
you
have my e-mail adresse?
Erik
says:
do
you want my phone-number perhaps?
Erik
says:
or
I could send you my CV
Erik
says:
there
all the information should be
Erik
says:
just
one moment please
Seb
says:
well
Seb
says:
in
fact this was it for the time being
Seb
says:
the
website is there, I needed to register a domain
Waiting for Seb to accept the file "CV – Erik
Ribsskog.rtf" (7 Kb, less than 1 minute with a 28.8 modem).
Please wait for a response or Cancel
(Alt+Q) the file transfer.
Erik
says:
ok,
I’ll guess I’ll hear from you, later then, when you have decided
Erik
says:
thanks
for the co-working then
Seb
says:
maybe
we could think for a little longer?
Seb
says:
I
don’t like the idea of registering without considering any other
options
Seb
says:
if
you have the time
Erik
says:
yes,
that’s no problem at all
Erik
says:
yes,
I’ll keep the MSN window open there, or you can think about this for
the rest of the week
Erik
says:
that’s
no problem at all
Seb
says:
how
about some names with cool adjectives
Seb
says:
coolgames,
funnygames, etc
Seb
says:
you
can paste a list here
Seb
says:
I’ll
do the checking for availibility etc
Erik
says:
ok,
no problem
Erik
says:
Megaspill
Seb
says:
funny
that you mention that
Erik
says:
Minispill
(my mate said on MSN)
Seb
says:
I
have already registered megaspel.se a long time ago
Seb
says:
for
a swedish website
Erik
says:
ok
i see, it should work in Norwegian as well
Erik
says:
maybe
a bit old-fashioned name, but it should work
Erik
says:
since
‘Mega’ was like a big term in the 90’s
Erik
says:
like
something cool to say
Seb
says:
I
now see that registering a .no domain can be quite complicated
Erik
says:
ok
Erik
says:
it
needs to be a name to do with the website or company name/activity
Seb
says:
website
Erik
says:
so
it shouldn’t be a problem registering, if I’d guess
Seb
says:
ah
I see
Seb
says:
ok
Erik
says:
yeah,
they want to regulate the names
Seb
says:
you
need company registration in norway
Erik
says:
but
it shouldn’t be a problem in this case
Seb
says:
and
a postal address in norway
Erik
says:
ok
i see
Erik
says:
ok,
i wasn’t aware of that
Erik
says:
I
called Norid once, I could call them tomorrow and check if you really
need that
Seb
says:
Broennoeysund
number
Seb
says:
I’m
pretty sure you need one
Erik
says:
ok,
ic
Erik
says:
ok,
i’ll have a look at the website
Seb
says:
I’ll
go for a .com domain name I guess
Erik
says:
ok,
i see
Seb
says:
tusenspill.com
is available
Seb
says:
is
.com a domain that is commonly used in norway?
Seb
says:
or
is it mostly .no
Erik
says:
it’s
mostly .no, but .net and .com aren’t unusual eighter
Erik
says:
but
.no is the best I’d say
Erik
says:
somone
use .nu
Seb
says:
it
means "now" ?
Erik
says:
.no?
means norway
Erik
says:
.nu
is just almost .no
Erik
says:
it
means ‘now’ in old-fashioned Norwegian
Erik
says:
(like
Danish)
Seb
says:
and
dutch
Seb
says:
I’m
from Amsterdam
Erik
says:
ok,
I wasn’t aware of that
Erik
says:
ok,
I almost rented a room in a house in Amstelveen some years back
Erik
says:
nice
city
Seb
says:
that’s
funny
Seb
says:
I
live in the old heart om Amsterdam
Seb
says:
of*
Seb
says:
5
minutes from central station
Erik
says:
ok,
I know Rembrants plein
Seb
says:
5
minutes from here too
Erik
says:
yeah
i know the train station
Erik
says:
ok,
not bad, i lived at a hotel, close to Rembrands plein
Seb
says:
so
you checked out the clubs there
Erik
says:
can’t
remember the name exatly now
Seb
says:
when
was this?
Erik
says:
yes,
i was at a big club there
Seb
says:
escape?
Erik
says:
where
they frisked you, when you went in there
Erik
says:
back
in 2005 i guess
Seb
says:
or
studio 80
Seb
says:
alright
Seb
says:
frisking’s
not very unusual right
Erik
says:
can’t
remember exatcly, but it was on the ground-floor
Erik
says:
it
was a stylish place
Seb
says:
what
did you do here?
Erik
says:
ok
Erik
says:
i
just had some drinks, it looked like it was a cool club
Seb
says:
I
mean, you were in Amsterdam for what?
Erik
says:
i
was really studying computing in Sunderland that year, but my modules
weren’t approved by my home university in Oslo
Erik
says:
so
i went to some European cities, on my way back to Norway, before I
worked on my uncles farm in Norway, for the rest of the year
Seb
says:
sounds
nice
Erik
says:
there
were problems with the Norwegian study finance and with the Oslo
University College
Erik
says:
yeah,
I tried to settle in Amsterdam and London, but it isn’t that easy
always when you haven’t got a job or a place to live
Seb
says:
(registering
tusenspill.com a good choice?)
Seb
says:
true
Seb
says:
I
read an article once about Amsterdam looking attractive in the
beginning
Seb
says:
but
being really hard to settle down on the long term
Erik
says:
yeah,
i think tusenspill.com could be fine
Seb
says:
I
pay 4 times the rent of my neighbours
Seb
says:
unexplainable
things like that
Erik
says:
or
megaspill.com is maybe better, since .com is English
Erik
says:
It
should be tusenspill.no
Seb
says:
megaspill
is taken
Erik
says:
or
tusenspill.nu then
Erik
says:
I
have to think some more about this
Seb
says:
I
registered tusenspill.com already
Erik
says:
ok,
i guess it’s ok
Seb
says:
if
you find something way better I can still take that one
Seb
says:
it’s
only 5.99
Erik
says:
ok
i see
Erik
says:
i
can try to think of a better name
Erik
says:
and
then i can send you an e-mail, if i find something that i think is
better
Seb
says:
ok
Seb
says:
how
about payment for your work so far?
Erik
says:
so
then we can eg. take this on email etc, tomorrow etc
Erik
says:
ok
Seb
says:
a
small fee through paypal perhaps?
Erik
says:
yeah,
that would be brilliant
Seb
says:
what
do you propose?
Erik
says:
i
have a paypal account somewhere
Erik
says:
even
if i doesn’t use it that much
Erik
says:
i
dont know, what have the other translators got?
Erik
says:
like
one hours work, i guess
Erik
says:
something
like that
Seb
says:
I
paid 10 USD to the other translator
Seb
says:
half
an hour work
Erik
says:
ok,
something like that then
Erik
says:
ok
Seb
says:
what
paypal address?
Erik
says:
well,
if it’s the e-mail address you need again
Seb
says:
I
can wire it to you as w ell
Erik
says:
then
its eribsskog@gmail.com
Seb
says:
if
that’s what you prefer
Seb
says:
in
that case I need IBAN/BIC
Erik
says:
ok,
I’ll just check the paypal-accout again
Erik
says:
just
one moment please
Erik
says:
Hi,
I’ll just send you an e-mail later today, with the paypal-details
Erik
says:
couse
I’m not using paypal that often
Erik
says:
so
then you can just pay it later this week
Erik
says:
it’s
no hurry
Erik
says:
ok?
Seb
says:
the
sooner the better
Seb
says:
because
I tend to be short of memory
Erik
says:
Ok,
I’ll send an e-mail later today then
Seb
says:
alright
Erik
says:
I
dont use the paypal that often
Seb
says:
could
you send it to seb.moeys@gmail.com ?
Erik
says:

Seb
says:
ttyl
Erik
says:
Ok,
I’ll do that
Erik
says:
See
you then
Erik
says:
bye!
Erik
says:
OK,
if your still there
Erik
says:
I
had some problems with the paypal-account since i don’t use it that
much
Seb
says:
yes
Erik
says:
but
I called my bank, and got the IBAN/BIC
Erik
says:
IBAN
should be GB24RBOS16240610964827
Erik
says:
BIC
should be: RBOSGB2L
Erik
says:
then
I’ll try to sort with the Paypal-account one of the next days
Seb
says:

and place of residence?
Erik

Seb
says:
would
you have any suggestions in norwegian?
Erik
says:
ok
Erik
says:
just
one moment please
Erik
says:
Sørens
spill/spilleside perhaps
Seb
says:
spilleside
would be correct?
Erik
says:

Erik
says:
spill
means games
Seb
says:
I
see
Seb
says:
sorensspill.com
Erik

says:
would
Sanders Spill also be possible
Seb
says:
it’s
shorter
Erik
says:

Seb
says:
it
would be a format where sander offers you his games

Erik

popular in norway
Erik
says:
steffens

Erik

like
you possilbly notice
Erik
says:
ok
i see no problem
Seb
says:
http://www.jeuxjeuxjeux.eu
Seb

containing "juegos" probably
Seb

Seb
says:
123spill
is popular in norway?
Erik
says:
Yes,
I remember when I studied in Sunderland
Erik
says:
then
my sister wanted to visit me there, in the Christmas holiday
Erik
says:
and
then she brought her young son, who is born in 1995, I think
Erik
says:
so
he was nine years old, or something
Erik
says:
and
he always wanted to play 123 spill
Erik
says:
so
I couldn’t use my computer there
Erik
says:
so
thats one of the reasons I got delayed with my studies there and went
to London and Amsterdam etc
Erik
says:
they
live in Oslo, so I they know what’s cool for kids
Erik
says:
she
also brought her friend, Siv, from Norway, and her son
Erik
says:
and
they stayed from before Christmas to after New Year
Erik
says:
so
I don’t know what they where thinking
Erik
says:
they
stayed for almost two weeks I think
Seb
says:
you
weren’t too pleased?
Erik
says:
so
there was always something going on
Erik
says:
no,
i had my last year project to work on
Erik
says:
at
the same time, i usually spent christmas at my sisters place
Erik
says:
(a
java project)
Erik
says:
so
I couldn’t say no, when she wanted to come
Erik
says:
but
they stayed a bit long, and couldn’t afford to live at a hotel, so I
had to speak with some mates, at the University campus, so they lived
next door, and I always had to borrow away my computer
Erik
says:
but
it was really my mistake, who said this was ok, when she asked
Erik
says:
so
that’s how this is
Erik
says:
so
I just sat in the lounge in our flat, over christmas and new year,
and spoke with the German students, who didn’t go home for Christmas
Erik
says:
so
I didn’t get to do my final year project
Erik
says:
and
when my study-loan arrived, four months late, then my studies were so
delayed, so there wasn’t much sense in continuing
Erik
says:
i
wouldn’t get my degree anyway
Erik
says:
so
that’s why I ended up in London and Amsterdam etc
Seb
says:
nothing
wrong with some adventure from time to time
Seb
says:
how
old are you?
Erik
says:
and
then I think I’ve been used as a ‘target-guy’ by the american police,
because I went on a flight from Detroit, and after that I think I was
messed with by some kind of special police force or something, since
they said I only had some old stuff in a shed in Norway, but it was
really antiques from my Danish grand-mother, and my machine-gun from
the Norwegian Home-defence, (in a City self-storag
Erik
says:
storage.
Erik
says:
But
the american airport police said, ‘some old stuff in a shed’ I think.
So I think they have been using me as a spy/target guy, after that,
in some way, at this is what I’ve overheard, here in Liverpool.
Erik
says:
And
I also have an employment-case against Bertelsmann/Arvato, that could
be connected with this.
Erik
says:
So
there have been some adventure
Erik
says:
and
now the only job-offering I’ve got is on behalf of MSN in Belfast, so
I think this could be some similar New World Order-spy stuff, from
some special police, manipulating.
Erik
says:
I’m
38
Seb
says:
that’s
pretty tough
Seb
says:
how
come of the conspiracy theory?
Erik
says:
well,
the american police sent me back to Europe, without leting me in to
the USA, for no real reason really.
Seb
says:
strange
Seb
says:
must
be frightening that they know what you ahve in your shed
Erik
says:
and
they wrote some shit in my passport
Erik
says:
no,
i haven’t got a shed
Erik
says:
it’s
a storage with the city self storage
Erik
says:
a
company in Oslo
Erik
says:
but
the officer said I had some old stuff in a shed
Erik
says:
and
really it was an old beer-mug, in silver, from the 16th century, from
my Danish grandmothers nobel familiy
Erik
says:
So
it was older than the American constitution, I think
Erik
says:
so
I tried to not be inpolite, and brag to much about it
Erik
says:
and
then he just thougt it was some old stuff in a shed
Erik
says:
and
then they thought i was a bum, i think
Erik
says:
and
have used me as a spy/target guy, i think
Seb
says:
what’s
a target guy?
Erik
says:
i
dont really know, ive just overheard it
Erik
says:
but
i think there were some mob at Bertelsmann/Microsoft
Erik
says:
that
used the nordic women there
Erik
says:
and
it could be that i was put in there, by the ones who exploited the
women
Erik
says:
its
a big case on scribd
Erik
says:
with
a lot of documentation
Erik
says:
one
