My name is Stian Grytøyr and I live in Oslo, Norway (that’s right, the capital). I am 34 years old and I work as a systems manager and web developer. Use my Gmail address (which starts with sgrytoyr) if you’d like to contact me.
For years I’ve wanted to memorize all the worlds capitals (don’t ask me why), so every so often I’d visit Wikipedia’s list and start cramming. But being cursed with the attention span of a moth, I never got beyong the Bs before getting bored and annoyed. So I started looking for something a little more fun, like an online quiz. There was bound to be dozens, right? Wrong! So to make a short story even shorter I created my own and here you are. Enjoy!
Simple! I fetched the list of capitals from Wikipedia, processed it some, put it in a database, and created a simple Rails app on top of that.
