Rammstein mood

I'm in a Rammstein mood at the moment. Freaking weather [had to ride my bike through an almost freezing, but in any way very wet storm...], and that freaking University. To many courses to follow, however it should be doable. It's just that I'm feeling overwhelmed. So I felt like …

I feel like screaming

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh Stupid University thingee, stupid weather, stupid life. That was all I wanted to say for now. Thank you.

Gadget spree

It's the time of the year again. I'm in love with several gadgets :) First, there is this TV card I'm going to buy anyway [because it's a kind of birthday present]. And now there's a little cellphone I've a crush on. Oh, and there's a nice project helping a little …

Sjeez

Well, this certainly is a busy week. Been studying all day at Monday, working at Tuesday, hardcore TCP and HTTP progging at Minix at Wednesday. Then got quite drunk at a party of the Biology department. This morning I woke up without a hangover, but not quite awake [a little …

Downs and ups

Whee! Finished coding the httpc and httpd yesterday. Some extensive testing of the daemon has been done already, but I should make it a little more solid. You can let it hang by sending just the request "blah" to it, without linefeeds ;) Anyway, when finally using your TCP implementation, all …

Coffee

Coffee: the liquid to rule them all. Besides beer. Oh, and Wodka and Red Bull [both pure, thank you]. But coffee is a nice way to kinda wake up. Without it, my world would be a bigger mess then it already is. Speaking 'bout messes: I sincerely hope not, but …

Damn projects :)

Well, after finishing computer graphics it's now hurrying to get Computer Networks ready for the end of January [end before the last normal test at next Tuesday]... If that's not enough, I've got an exam at Monday the 19th. Yeah, that's next Monday. Gotta study real quick now... On another …

aMaze - Take two :)

There it is. A nice binary windows distribution :). "Why? That's evil! Binary only!". Er, yeah, but I don't want to release my sourcecode until it's readable without getting a heart attack ;) Besides, I want to wait until the gradings are known so noone can "borrow" some code from me. And …

aMaze - The project

Well, anybody interested in screenies of aMaze, my project for Computer Graphics, should check out this screenies page. Now that's the nicest C program I made thus far :) Yeah, they're kinda large, and my upstream is only 320 kbit/s, so please have some patience ;)

Weeee!

Well, I did it :) Finished the computergraphics project yesterday at about 8:30PM. It's working like it should [kinda] and it looks great! Screenshots will be up when I've had time to make them [like, tomorrow], and a windows [compiled] version will be available for download when I've compiled it …

Stress

Well, after working yesterday and only tinkering somewhat with the project on Monday, I'm starting to get really pissed at myself ;). Today I'm working harder and it's finally going somewhere. Promise I'll post a screenie when it's finished [and it doesn't turn out too lame :)]. Gotta work...

Work to do

Well, duties are calling. I have to finish a project for Computer Graphics before next Friday [I've quite some nice ideas, but they have to crystalize into usable code yet...]. Tomorrow there's my regular job too, so that's another day I can't work at the project. Ah well, I should …

Reflections

And another year has passed. A year in which I turned the nice age of 21, in which we had to buy a new car because I trashed the previous one on a otherwise very beautiful holidays in Italy at the Garda Lake. Me and my lovely girl where together …

Tired

Ok, this is not another rant about those stupid trains [yeah, had to wait 25 minutes at the freezing station of Amsterdam Sloterdijk]. Not about the things I did at my work [besides sleeping ;)]. Yeah, lets talk about sleeping. Or, better, lets practice it! Cya!

Christmas is over. And stuff.

Well, that was one cozy, food-overloaded Christmas :). 2nd xmas day was with my girlfriend at her place. Again lots of nice things to eat and nice people to chat with [in real life that is :P]. Saturday was a day to do nothing. Well, to sleep late, watch a recorded …

1st xmas day

Well, had a nice day today with grandparents from both sides, my girlfriend, sister and my parents. Very cosy, loads of food. Good day :) Just round up some tweaks to the css [less whitespace, more room for rants :)] and finished the archive functionality. Simplified the navigation [again], because this is …

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to say to all of you: Merry Christmas! If you ain't a Christian [kinda like me], just enjoy these hopefully happy days!

Stunned

Well, just saw Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. And I'm dumbstruck. Damn what a fine movie! Didn't follow the book at every point, but that's only for the good. It was a long sit [bladder acked from the cola ;)], but it was 3,5h pure excitement …

Cube

Almost bought a Gamecube with Mariocart: Double dash, four Zelda classics etc. Only 144 euros. But I need a 2nd controller to play Mariocart nicely [33 euro] and a memorycard [16MB: 29 euro], for being able to save games at all. Quick sum is 196 euros. Maybe another time ;)
