asks me to remove the page or to point to his updated page, if one
should become available. On Dec 27, 2007 I redesigned the background
image so that it worked properly with widescreen systems. I will at
some point try to update small portions of the site while retaining the
original site.

The page of Magnus Number Cruncher
Due to new Swedish laws I will erase all names on these pages. I am truly sorry about that and expect reason to win in the end. Welcome to my corner of the internet, and thanks for stopping by. This page is possible thanks to the people at the Department of Numerical Analysis and Computing Science at the Royal Institute of Technology. When evaluating the design I have used software from NetScape.Index
Magnus
Robot Fighter
Robot Fighter
Magnus Robot Fighter is a comic published under the Valiant imprint of Acclaim Comics. I started reading it for its name and found it was a great comic. It is the continuation of Magnus Robot Fighter 4,000 A.D. that was published under the Gold Key imprint of Western Publishing Company in the 60's and 70's. A second Valiant universe, that will include a new Magnus series was launched by Acclaim on my 30th birthday.
With time more and more material relating to Magnus and his world (as defined both by Gold Key and Valiant) will show up here.
For those of you who like riddles:
There are actually two things on this page (outside this section) that
can, kind of, be seen as references to Magnus issues. The big one (the
reference I have actively chosen to use), and one extremely subtle,
that is purely coincidental. So:
From where have I taken the handle Magnus Number Cruncher?
What connection does my daughter have to a specific Magnus comic?
So far the only person who has been able to guess it, is the
famous XX XXXX.

Something about me
I started studying at KTH 1985 at Applied Physics but after a while (including military service) I found that my call was Computing Science. While studying (almost) full-time I worked for the AutoCAD distributor Datech. Like many others I couldn't resist to start working full-time and since then my studies have been part-time. When Datech went bank-rupt I started taking consultant assignments. Word got out about my abilities, so I've been given some quite challanging tasks on three continents. I just finished a contract for Autodesk, Inc. in Petaluma, California, and now I'm a partner at Carasoft AB.XXXXXX, my first-born daughter arrived 1995-04-01 03:15 PST. XXXXX, her brother arrived 1996-09-27 12:57 CET. They are right now the most important things in my life.
Despite work and family I'm still (thanks to supportive teachers such as XXXXX XXXXXX) active at KTH and still looking forward to completing my studies.
