the race is over, time to discover brand new spaces
Finally, my Mechanics exam is over. It sure was jarring watching everybody write three page theses while my answers took up one A4 side, maximum. I spent quite a lot of minutes making sure that my solutions were, in fact, correct, and there wasn’t any other way to do it. Then again, I looked around, and saw everybody on their third page already. I checked again. Numerically, it made sense. Logically (well it’s not like my physics foundation is that good), it makes sense. Even the units work out to be correct. Dividing the density of ice over water revealed that 90% of an iceberg is underwater, which fit with the horror stories I had read about on Wikipedia a long time ago, so that must be correct. Still, if a simple division was all that was needed, why was it a 3 point question?
After some time, I just gave up. I had answered 5 out of 6 questions, leaving the ‘define nutation and precession’ question alone as I wasn’t even sure those existed. If I was ever going to get full marks for all the questions which made numerical and unit-sense, I would be getting 80%, which is a first for any university written exam for me! Yay for laziness.
I also must expound upon the absurdity of an easily broken filament in a halogen lamp. It simply dropped from my table, how the hell could a metal wire enshrouded in a glass bulb possibly break? At both ends? It must have been the cheapest shit they could cram into that lamp.
In any case, I now have a WD Scorpio Blue 500GB in my laptop, with a working DVR-KD08. It’s such a relief to step up from 80GBs, and now that I pulled the Hitachi TravelStar out, I now have a external SATA hard drive! Great way to transfer stuff from the fast internet connection at the school. The new hard drive is quiet, doesn’t make a single peep, unlike the Hitachi, which started out quiet, but then Vista came along and raped it, so it does make some sounds when it’s seeking. Using XP on the school’s computers slowly killed Vista’s appeal inside me, bit by bit, as I struggled to explain to myself why I should use an OS which grinds my disk for several seconds before opening Network and Sharing Center, when the same thing appears without HDD grinding and in 2 seconds on XP. Heck, anything Vista does rapes my hard disk. Even opening the Control Panel slows the computer down for a couple seconds, and if I get impatient, the window turns white and Vista thinks it’s not responding. See, even Vista thinks it sucks.
The rest of this month and March is going to be one huge holiday. But I’m not gonna rest. I need to earn some money to make up for buying all this stuff, buy a PS2, PS3, and a computer with a nice LCD screen. I have two websites to finish designing/setting up, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Legend of Heroes 1-3, FF Tactics, Persona 2: IS to play, and money to earn by designing websites. I think a good starting price for a website design would be 800EUR, I haven’t decided on the specifics yet. Any web designers out there willing to give me some tips on how to price? I do know that I’m going to charge 200EUR more for Internet Explorer compatibility, though… I hate that abomination.
I’ve heard things about Onegai Sensei, so I’m going to watch it. And if the school stays open… hehe… LoGH… hehe… Share EX2…

Good for your exam. Even better for your comp
And vista doesn´t suck. It just demands a little tender care and that you don´t hate it. Then it´ll work wonders. I will never go back to XP.
I use XP in school, but I can use Vista or XP easily as pie for what I do so. No worries. But I´ll stick with Vista untill I find a reason to get the next Windows.
Webdesign prices is something I do not know of.
Onegai Sensei is ok. Great for the fanservice and animation quality. Story is so so but overall it´s well worth a watch.

Hey you know what, that’s what I said ages before.
Onegai Sensei, yeah I know it’s a bit sub-par, but going ‘hey, I downloaded that OP and ED from animeomiyage.net AGES ago before I even thought of downloading this’ makes up for all that. Plus, I need to see more of the teacher (whoops, forgot her name, guess it really is sub-par).
Oh my. Must have missed that… or my head just doesn´t tell me I´ve read it before since I had no memory of it.
You know what. I know exactly what you mean but I can´t remember her name either. Take a look at Onegai Twins as well if you haven´t after Sensei.
use Linux. I prefer Mandriva.
You know, I used to fall for that KDE theme they had a while back with Mandrake 9.1. Yeah, that was pretty old, that was my first foray into Linux. With no root password, things got sour real quickly, just like how meat goes bad without a freezer. I wonder if they still have that floating out there… everybody’s into compiz and beryl nowadays (compiz fusion? man I’m behind the times), which runs only acceptably on my Radeon 7000 equipped computer. Hey, the card was free. It was either that or a S3 Trio 3D/2X. And you know which one’s the better of the two…
rollchan, you seriously need to write why you prefer Mandriva. On your blog or something. BTW, just how many blogs do you have?
2 blogs.
one main site.
another is the fun blog, an anime blog. LOL!
sorry about that, that’s why I hate posting my url. haha.
compiz, baby.
I’m using Red Hat EntLinux for a while. and how it is a pain in the neck to install a plugin called “Flash”.
Mandriva is still FTW.
