Effie

Her Majesty Effie

and the birds behind..

The Effie server started over 20 years ago, on spare time as an educational project. Linux was the growing operating system at the time, and led 6 people at a Hedmark County Collage into a wonderful educational world of Linux. Some grew tired and retired, others joined in. Hardware was upgraded fast, and it soon kicked ass with loads of computer force.

The Core idea was exploring these new opportunities within a controlled environment. Close to a enteprise setup. The learning curve was steep, with successes and failures. Testing, researching and the victories when succeeding. Still this is a trademark for learning wihin Effie crew, with fun, and yet with complexity. Today the Effie server is kept alive by the 4 persons in the maintenance crew, all from the original team.

Well after graduation, the crew formed a non-profit organization. Then the distance to Norwegian domains where short. Effie.no was acquired and today several other domains are hosted at the solution.

Like his first responsibility for Effie back in the 90s, the last 20 years have been with focus on cyber security. Still he enjoys coding and configurations, but risk assessment and cyber treats are the main focus. Usually suspects the worst and with a hint paranoia running things like its the national security service. Proud HAM operator and otherwise a curios engineer.
