LifestreamI returned the DIMMA dimmer to IKEA. They had incidentally heard of the buzzing problem already so I figured there was no point in trying another one of these dimmers. Too bad really. I’m going to have to think long and hard about dimmer usage in the future. Also, to be completely honest, part of [...]

I had a few items I wanted at IKEA and two weeks of free bus and trains travels so I took a trip to Gothenburg despite treacherous weather. All in all I might have lost about an hour in various train-related delays but it’s ok. You’re just happy you didn’t end up in a snow [...]
With a nice new desk I figured I do some uncluttering of the workplace. Cables and such. But also if possible to hide the modem and router underneath the desk as well. There are tons of ideas for doing this with pegboard. Which is great for a freeform solution, but I think I will rather [...]
I finally found a complete second edition IKEA Jerker computer desk. Didn’t have to drive far to pick it up either. Some background information on the Jerker. In the end I opted for getting a second edition Jerker rather than try to find a first edition or parts for the same. It was discontinued ten [...]
It struck me the other day that I never got the top shelf for my IKEA computer desk. If I recall correctly, I bought the IKEA Jerker desk in the year 2000. A year later, in August, as the new catalogue was coming out, I was regretting my decision not to get the top shelf [...]

Given my usual positive attitude towards IKEA you may be surprised to find that I have two rather negative observations regarding the company. The first is about the food and the second is about surveillance cameras. About [...]
Never could resist a good sale. I found these brilliant glass bowls at 50% off at a local store. I’m thinking these will be great for keeping certain plants that like a humid environment. It’s not as good as an aquarium tank obviously, but it is more reasonable and easier to place. I also had [...]
Installed and ready. It took two replacements and a great deal of fiddling, but here they are. Around 5000 SEK. Pretty good.
I finally settled for a pair of high cabinets for the kitchen. The price was unbeatable, and I got almost what I was looking for. Close enough. I also got a few accessories and trinkets as usual. Unfortunately, one of the cabinets were damaged and had to be replaced. IKEA is taking care [...]
I finally got a new swivel chair for the workstation. IKEA Markus, a leather / mesh chair with a high backrest, approved for office use. Also from IKEA: Jonisk floor / table lamp.
