The Norwegian Informatics Olympiad (NIO) finals are being held this weekend. 7 contestants from high school will be competing for a trip to the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), held in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico this year.

The contestants will be solving four algorithmic tasks in five hours. I'm a co-organizer, and I'm looking forward to seeing the contestants and the results.

Hi, I'm Hans Olav Norheim, I'm 20 years old, and I'm studying Informatics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway.

I'm interested in technology in general, and especially in computer science and software development using Microsoft Technologies. I'm a MCSD, and I've done a bit of .NET development using both C# and Visual Basic.

Now I thought it was about time to start blogging to share some my experiences. Expect to find blog posts about:

• .NET development
• Unit testing
• Continuous Integration
• Cool projects
• Misc. technical stuff
