| I recently got home from a splendid tour through the Mårma region, with additions, but the account of this will have to wait some time yet as I will concentrate on the Vålåvalen day tours first. Before that, however, I have done some work in the facilities database, making some changes to a few of the entries, putting up some more photos, and adding the Mårma cabin. There will also be some changes to the text in several places on the site in the near future, due to recent developments and other information that has come to my attention, but I am awaiting final confirmation on some points. |

| Added Vålåvalen 2008 report to Tours section and made some other minor changes in other places. Day tours will surface at a later date as usual, and I dare say that the best is yet to come, photography-wise... |

| My wardenship in Vålåvalen is now over, and sorting-through of photos is in progress. In the meantime I have added some new pictures to the facilities database and also amended some distances and notes therein. |

Added Bunnerfjällen 2008 report to Tours section and brought the facilities database up to date. This is the last update for a while, for tomorrow I leave for another warden assignment in Vålåvalen. Do come visit! |

| 25/6 2008 |
| Added Nallo 2008: Day Tours (April) report to Tours section and made some small adjustments to the main report. Facility references have also been updated. |

What, it's 2008 and not 1984? You could have fooled me. "Lex Orwell" is a reality, and this will be remembered as the Day of Shame. The fjelds, however, have no part in all this – while they by their very nature may not be eternal, they will outlive all human folly and do, in the meantime, offer sanctuary for souls distraught with current affairs. Just don't make any suspicious remarks using communications devices in or near Sweden... |

| Added Nallo 2008 report to Tours section. The various longer day tours are not yet online, but there should be more than enough pictures from the area to satisfy the cravings of any and all interested parties. Stay tuned! |
| 18/5 2008 |

| 9/5 2008 |
| Added Nikkaluokta, Lisa's cabin and Vassakåtan to facilities database, and adopted the term "cabin" for the middle one throughout the site. |

So, once again civilization surrounds me, after two months in the winter paradise that is Nallo.
Short summary: good weather, plenty of guests and lots of skiing. A full report should surface within a few weeks, as usual. In the meantime, I note that the site was temporarily down a few weeks ago due to a server move, and when it was restored the counter had stopped at 4021. The technical reason for this was that as a result of the move file permissions were reset, which meant that the counter script no longer could write to the log file. Luckily (or rather, prudently), the code was designed with this eventuality in mind, so the overall functionality of the site was not affected. The issue has now been corrected. |

| Just writing to say that I leave for this winter's wardenship in Nallo now, so no new updates until May at the earliest. And should anyone want to get a hold of me before then – come visit! |

| Some minor fixes in various places. |

| 9/2 2008 |
|
Orthography update and other minor fixes in the following tour reports: Vålådalen 2004 Oviksfjällen 2005 Vålådalen 2005/2006 |
| 9/2 2008 |
| Upon getting out of bed this morning it suddenly struck me that there is a bug in the report renderer – or, more to the point, the new version is incompatible with the old data file format in one particular aspect, which caused a few paragraphs that were supposed to be presented in a smaller size to come out as positively huge instead. Fixed now. |
| 7/2 2008 |
| Added the Peak to Peak banner to bottom of front page. |

| The 6th of February happens to be the National Day of the Sámi, and even if it is pure coincidence it seems fitting to roll out the new and shiny version of this site today. There have been some extensive changes: the old collection of tour reports, which previously was the site, has been relegated to a subsection of what is now a general information place about the Swedish fjelds. The main feature is a searchable database of tourist facilities, ranging from simple huts in the middle of nowhere to hotel-like locations reachable by car. It is my hope that this will all turn out to be useful in some way or another, to some people, and not only a result of any "desire for expression" on my part – but I have certainly enjoyed producing it in any case. Please holler if there's anything that you find specifically noteworthy, for whatever reason. |

After quite a lot of tweaking, the site should now be as compatible as possible across several platforms and browsers.
It has been tested using Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox, Opera and Konqueror on several different Windows and Linux setups,
for the latter of which I am much obliged to jaGni and ghor,
and should anyone get it into their head to use Lynx, ELinks or similar those also yield acceptable results. Moving on to proofreading and last-minute adjustments of contents. |
| 28/1 2008 |
| "Beta testing" of the new, much extended site started! |
| 13/1 2008 |
| Added Vålådalen 2007/2008 report to Tours section. This was the second time I have been in the area for New Year, and I'm sure I will not tire of it any time soon. |
| 29/11 2007 |
| Clarified a wording in the Såmmarlappa 2007 report in the Tours section. |
| 16/11 2007 |
| Added Såmmarlappa 2007: Day Tours report to Tours section, making the Såmmarlappa sojourn complete. |
| 9/11 2007 |
| Added Såmmarlappa 2007 report to Tours section. My first warden assignment, this was a terrific way to spend the early autumn. |
| 13/10 2007 |
| Added Sarek 2007 report to Tours section. Lots of rain, but also a fair bit of sunny weather and grand views. Unfortunately I did not quite see eye to eye with the new camera, but digital enhancements have much improved the results. |
