X-mas and Shoes.

Been kinda off lately but you all know how it is around christmas, you dont get so much time infront of your computer.

At least i got some time today and actually watched almost whole season 4 of Entourage, probably my fav show after Dexter. Got some pretty nice stuff in present. Got a really nice set of glasses from my girl and a shirt from her parents. Also got some books that i really appreciated, one of em is about HTML/CSS coding so i guess ill be starting kinda good with that.

Now im just really tired watching Ricky Lake on TV3. Cathrine just came over and now she felt asleep in the sofa. Its time to sleep people.

Btw, i bought my favourite shoes today, been looking for em for like 2 years now and i finally managed to find them in excactly my size, 8,5. Also bought a pair if new jeans and cutted my hair, yayy!







Dec 23, 2007

X-mas (2nd time).

Cant say so much really. We were in Denmark and it was really nice. Today me and my sister took some pics, was kinda fun. Now it is Christmas, kinda fun aswell. Yeah right... Fuck christmas. Goodnight.












Dec 21, 2007

X-mas (1st time).

Oh yes, finally my week at Rimab is over. Im now on my christmas holiday for real. The week at Rimab has been pretty calm though, my work ethic have not been on top so i have chilled kind of hard i guess. You guys that know me recognize that im not very keen of christmas. I just hate it, cant really go deeper why i do it now just because tomorrow is going to be early and im celerbrating my first christmas this year. And trust me when i say its not the first one...

Tomorrow my dad has planned something secret. Me and my sister dont know what it is, we just know that we are leaving home at 06.50am and comming home late night. Would be fun if we were going to denmark but i just dont know.

Need to sleep now, talk tomorrow.
Peace~

Dec 18, 2007

Rimab.

Hell yeah, been working 6am-3pm today. Lucky i managed to find a little place to sleep (see video). Also started small konceptbuilding on the big job i got. Heres a sketch for their logotype. Cant really tell more just because its pretty secret n shit. Time for me to sleep now... Its way to early though. Hate to flip the day like this. Well, just three more days.



Dec 17, 2007

Long time no see.

Much has happened since last time.

  • I got home to Gothenburg
  • My friend had an wild drum'n'bass party
  • i bought shoes
  • i bought jeans
  • i bought more shoes
  • My friend turned 20
Yeah, thats about it. Ive also learned alot more HTML and CSS just because im doing a webpage for a hairdresser heer in Gothenburg. The site looks really boring but it was the customers choice to have it that way. Also pretty lucky it wasnt too hard just because my mad haxx0r skills isnt 100% yet.

Tomorrow im starting to work at Rimab again for 4 days. Its pretty nice paid but its kinda boring job. Up 5.00am tomorrow and clean the dirty floor of Volvo. Time for me to sleep now, heres some pictures i took yesterday and one of my new shoes (the party shoes).











Dec 12, 2007

Good Mood.

Finally the luck has changed. Got two freelance jobs today, one of them is really big and can lead to more job and more cash to me. Cant really tell what it is but the other is just making a simple website. This is really good so i can develop my tech skills and become better at HTML/CSS. Im tired of sitting in my cell. Want to go home now. Nighty!






Dec 11, 2007

Flash.

Yeah, today our Portfolio module started. And today we started with a flash workshop. Our goal was to create a banner to market ourselfs. Never really sat with flash before so it was kinda tricky to fix everything. Flash isnt really something i wanna work with anyways but its kinda good to know a little i guess. Then i continued on my illustration and sat like 3 hours when my computer died and i had to start from where i did earlier today. Im so tired now and i will be up in 6 hours to play some squash with niggepeh. YEAH!

Klick here to se my banner.


Dec 10, 2007

Dexter.

Just saw last episode of Dexter season 2. Can tell you that its like the best show you ever seen. And im still working on my illustration, not so much today though just because i fixed my portfolio a little. Plus a got a HTML/CSS job pretty nice close to the christmas and were all in need of cash.




Dec 9, 2007

Its Growing.

Yeah, just sat in school chillin and drawing some today. Didnt came so far. But it looks like this now.

Dec 8, 2007

Yeah, just a small thing i started today. Gonna work more on it tomorrow. Ive been laying in bed the whole day today, worst hungover on a long long time so i just chilled some, watching some movies and series. Time to sleep now. Nighty.


Dec 6, 2007

Dec 3, 2007

Portfolio.

Holy moly, finally started to work some on my portfolio. I will have two different "areas". One where i will have my photographys and one where i will have my graphical stuff. I started with the photo part today, found a really nice picture gallery with only CSS/HTML. Well, this is what i managed to do today.

Klickit.

Pixar.

Today we got a visit from Pixar Studios. A women came here from San Fransisco supposed to talk about her job at Pixar. She was some kind of background and light designer and the lecture she had was really really fun.

She talked alot about how they worked when they started a new movie. I just couldnt imagine how much work there really is behind a animated film. I mean i know there was a lot of work but there is so many things you just never think about. There is all the storyboard painting/animation and all the lightning in the end of the production that does so much. I mean i can go on all night but thats three of the stuff she told about.

By the way, heres some movies from our weekend in Holland.


Check like the 36second. Love when the beat starts again.


LASERSHOW!!!

Still asleep.

Got so tired yesterday so i didnt actually had the "ork" to do it. Anyway heres some pics from the weekend in Holland, videos will probably come later this afternoon.

Holland and STRP.

Holland and STRP.

Holy shit, there is so much to tell and im kinda tired so im gonna try be a little short.
This Friday we went from Karlskrona to Kaspers little town in Holland called Uden. Its a town kinda similar to Karlskrona but way more party life. When we arrived at Kaspers house like 10 o clock we got met up with some really nice beer and some food that looked like french hot dog except it was fully closed and there was some wierd sausage in it.

When we sat there drank our beer, listening to some dubstep everyone got so excited about the festival that we wanted to go out party. 2 hours later we were at a small club drinking alot of beer and 1 hour after that we were at some other club where we danced the shit out of the dance floor. I think everyone though we was on LSD or something because 5 mins after we entered the dance floor we were the only ones there. The alcoholics drinks flowed and people were getting more and more happy. When the club closed we were so eager to get more but Uden had no more place that were open after 3am so we got home slept some, and as we deserved woke up with some headache and a vague memory from the stuff we did the night before.

At least everyone got up and we manage to eat some breakfast. And by breakfast i mean candy. Seriously the stuff we had on our sandwich was sick. Only like chocolate flakes and peanut butter and just alot of things you would die for if you were 5 years old. That morning i was 5 years old again and i ate chocolate and caramel flakes like never before. Everything on a white piece of bread. I was in breakfast heaven.

Well well, we got to the bus and in to Einhoven where the festival where at. Checked around some stores. Saw some really cool stores that i wish i could buy alot of different stuff in but didn't really had the cash.

At least we got some food and a small apprehension about Eindhoven before we got to the festival. We took the train out to Philips old habitats where the festival was located and bought the tickets at the entrance. The first thing i thought of was the sweet smell when you entered the locals. There was red "pillows" everywhere where people smoked everything you can imagine. The sweet smell from the marijuana joints was taking over the whole smell in the locals and you just see twinkling lights everywhere and a weak stream of music that you hear from a far.

Now i will post some of the stuff that were of a festival stealed from Kaspers blog.

ATOM
Atom was a really inspiring music and spatial visual piece done by monolake. They created 64 balloons on a grid which were replaceable by height and therefor they could create abstract sculptures with these balloons. Each of these balloons could light up whenever they wanted to. Accompanied with some really good abstract music they managed to create a beautiful and inspiring piece of work.



TFT Tennis
Plain simple, but good, pong in 3D, I loved it.



Bejing Accelerator
An agile tool to view nice panoramas from Bejing



Motor Karaoke
Haha probably the one with the highest entertainment value. A racing game based upon on ruke: The harder you scream, the faster you go. You could hear people screaming from the other side of the building. Some swedes lost their voice here.



Theese were just some of the few technical wonders that i saw on the festival. Well, let me forward the time like 6 hours from now. Then the time is maybe 2am and the big part of the technical exhibition had closed. Now it was all about partying and all the DJ's that played. It was totally crazy with dubstep, rave, techno and house. I think I've never danced this much in my life. I probably danced 5-6 hours and i probably never drunk so much beer and bacardi/cola at that short ammount of time either. What can i say, the last 3 hours of dubstep was so great its hard to describe with words. I will upload some movies and pictures tomorrow just because I'm really tired and in need of sleep right now.

We got home to Kasper at 9am again. Then we had been up for almost 36 hours and partied like 10 hours of them. What a weekend...

We got to the plane, bought some liquor at the tax free shop and i got a small sms. "Hey Hampus, im feeling a bit ill, think ill be home tomorrow". It was Emil who was in Örebro this weekend and he was the only one that had the keys home...

Imagine 3 guys smelling smoke, sweat and hungover when they get the words that they cant come home tonight. It was just a lack of communication when we went away that Friday and now it was just so tough facing the fact that we were not coming home that night.

We went home to "The Gävle Dudes" and were gonna sleep there, just before we were going to sleep some of em got the idea that we were suppose to drink up all the tax free that we bought earlier today. I weren't really in the mood but the other guys started to play dubstep drinking alot. And by alot i mean puke-alot. The night ended pretty rough for some of em.

Now I'm going to sleep and ill hope you enjoy my Holland experience. As told before i will upload some pictures and movies from the festival tomorrow so hold on guys.
God night.

Nov 23, 2007

Holland.

Got damnit, the day didnt start very good. I overslept like the second day in a row now. Fucking sleeping problems make me crazy. Even if i go to bed early i just cant sleep, and that make me sleep like 4 hours night the last 3-4 days. So i woke up with a little panic, missed the first lecture and havent packed for my trip to Holland.

Yeah! Going to Holland today, some drum'n'bass festival called like strp. Its a technic festival mixed with a alot of different DJs and its gonna be freaking wild. We living at a classfriends house whos from a little town called Uden. Right now i havnt really packed and its 45 mins til we gonna meet at the train station. Im a bit in a hurry and im not gonna bring the computer so no writing is gonna happend this weekend.

Wish me a fun trip.
Peace~

Nov 20, 2007

Back in Purple.

its been a while since i wrote some. As i told i took the train to Gothenburg for the weekend. Arrived back in Karlskrona monday afternoon so i had almost 3 days in the nice city of Gothenburg. Met up with my friend Nils(www.ilsh.se) and also had some dinner with my mom and my dad. Really nice to meet my dad again, havent met him since i moved to Karlskrona so it was nice catching up a little. Of course it was nice to meet mom aswell but ive met her some times since i moved.

And of course i spent some time with Cathrine. Actually ate the new Ben&Jerrys ice cream which contains like chocolate chunks, chocolate mousse and some chocolate cookies. Do i need to tell more? It was amazing, gotta love Ben&Jerrys for their nice taste to come up with these kinda flavours.

Today was a pretty slow day, woke up with some migraine so i skipped school today. Sat home and made some graphics to my portfolio ive been starting to think about. Our next module is about making a portfolio to yourself so i guess why not start now? After some basic coding and the workshops with Niggepeh i actually consider choose tech in the next term.

HTML/CSS is really fun, and why not choose something else so i can develop more and maybe freelance a little on the side as a webdeveloper. As many people says there is really hard to get freelance jobs as a designer if youre not really specified and really good at it. I feel now like im pretty standard so why not have a plan B if the designpath doesnt wanna go all the way. The world need coders, maybe i can be one of them or something.

Now im watching Heroes and wish i could sleep. I have such a hard time to sleep these days. Dont know why, i mean i should fall asleep pretty easy because im pretty stressed about school and everything arounds it. Well, i got a book about coding from Niggepeh today. Maybe ill sleep easier of i read some before im supposed to. Nighty Night.

Nov 15, 2007

Typo.

Im into typography. Today we had a lecturer named William Hall. He had done some serious jobs for clients like Calvin Klein, British Library and We Not I. He really was educated in the fine art of typography and i think he could really explain all the do's and the don'ts. He worked at a agency who did really minimalistic stuff. You know thoose people who love to see a white paper and see that as art. Not really like that but he like space.

When he showed some of his work i really felt a hunger for magazine layout. That would be so fun to work with a nice magazine and be the layout designer or something similar to that. Well, right after i thought about being a layout designer he gave us a assigment to do a minimalistic layout for a architect. We had some rules, one was that it was going to be in two different languages. As you can see i used babelfish for the french. I think i managed to do something really nice and hope that he thinks so aswell. The layout he think is the best will be priced with a really nice book designed by the agency he works at.

Now im laying in my bed watching my new favourite show, Dirty Sexy Money. Gotta love it, soon im gonna sleep and hope i manage to do a nice presentatin so he will like the layout. Would be fun to win.

We also had a meeting about our crewsite, pitched some ideas and some guys actually liked the idea that we had and there was some really nice ideas that was flying round the room. Anyway, time to sleep not. Its 04.37am god damnit.

Nov 14, 2007

Avocado.

I just got into bed to watch some series right before i go to sleep. I bought some avocado two days ago and i actually did something with em today. If you take Keso and mix it with some well cutted avocado, put it on a sandwich and sprinkle some "örtsalt" on it and you have a nicely done nightsnack.

Been coding some more today and also we had a group meeting about our crewsite again and we have a solid idea now that we gonna pitch for the class tomorrow. Hope its gonna go well, also some typography lecture with a guy from London tomorrow. Yayy!

Nov 13, 2007

i see the light.

I just hate to start the blogpost with saying "hi, hello, yo or ok" or something other cheesy so i just gonna get to the point from now on. Today was a really fun day. To start with i must say that the beginning of this module has been a real surprise. Finally Hyper Island is starting to live up to some of my expectations i had when i started here.

This new module is called Visual Communication and is all about what i want to do. For you that dont know me i can tell that the thing i want to do is do smart commercial. Not just beautiful pictures or a nice typo but a mixture with a brilliant idea, a nicely photographed and edited photo with a add of a nicely considered typography. To do something that just doesnt look good, but actually give the wiever a feeling or atleast a though about the ad, weather its a good or a bad thought. Of course i wanna continue with my photographing and tomorrow my filmscanner arrives so i can finally see my Lomopictures from USA and some b/w pics from my moms wedding.

Well, at this lecture we had today he spoke about all the things i wanna know more of. How the wiever see on different objects and colours. The guy were from French so all hes "s" sounded like "z" and he had some hard time pronouncing "The Circles". Sounded more like "Ze Zerclez". Gotta love french people. He had such a passion in what he talked about and that made the lecture probably one of the best ive had so far.

So the first part was all about understanding how we felt about a certain colour or a certain shape, but after lunch we painted... Acrylic paint could be one of gods better ideas. I havnt painted in such a long time but just experementing with different colours and splats made me feel like i was in a art school. After the lecture which ended about 5 pm we sat down some people and brainstormed (i hate the word brainstorming by the way, its sounds so 2000) about the theme and koncept for our Crew site. I actually starting to see a light beneath this wall of darkness that has been in the way for me some month now. Looking forward for more good lecturers and inspiring people.

I continued with my CSS/HTML workshop today with niggepeh and it worked out really good. i actually starting to understand this strange world of code and manage to think it actually is pretty fun. Remember, its always the coders who make the most money. Ill probably not end up as a coder but its a fun alternative or a mixup from my design background. Anyway ill try sleep some now just because i have a really hard time doing that lately, dont know why really. Maybe because i miss my Cathrine pretty much. Going to Gothenburg this weekend though, cant wait to get there. So long time ago i was there now. Love to go with the train, i have 4 seasons of the TV serie "Entourage" to look forward to so i just love to settle down with a coke and maybe a kexchoklad and just enjoy the 4 hours i can be calm and think of nothing else then how many episodes more i can watch. Im starting to loose the talking now, time to sleep. Nighty Nighty.

Nov 11, 2007

Soft Peppercake.

Ok, so its sunday again. Tomorrow is the start of a new module which im really looking forward to. Today i really sat with some graphic and i feel that the inspiration is flowing to me again. Thats so nice because i havnt been really creative in the last month. Probably because of the boring module and all the time that the module took from me. But now im back on track and i actually got a job. Make a website for a conulting company and today i was done with two layouts. Never really done weblayout but im pretty satisfied with em. Time for me to go to bed and watch some snowboard movies... Peace people.







Nov 10, 2007

Today.

My stoned friend just came home and woke me up... This is some of the stuff i made today.
I fell asleep with my comp in my bed and i wake up now... feels pretty sketchy, im not even tired...



Nov 9, 2007

Casual Friday.

Ok, it was the last day of the module and guess what that means... Evaluation of course. We didnt had our with "snygg lisa" we had it with Marie instead. It worked really well actually. I got some good feedback that i was a good leader during this module and that i made the group go forward. But of course as always people though i shall see more positive on things that feels so negative. I really reied this module, i did. But it was just too booring somedays to keep my spirit up. After the evaluation me and Emil went to the gym and fucking destroyed ourself on 80 mins. WE came home ate some pasta and drank some water. After that it was just getting back to school to try be creative.

I really have a hard time just creating something theese days. And that really sucks. Was looking forward for a webpage job i was gonna do and i was all excited about doing the design. But nope, theyve already done that so it was just for me to start coding which isnt the fun part...

Now its 4am and i got home from schhol for like 30 mins ago. Was in ångan, watched some films and some series.

Yeah, i also bought "iwannadodesign.com" today. Maybe i can need it in some future portfolio or something. Its time for me to sleep now, nighty night.

Nov 8, 2007

Finally 3.0

Ok, this module Concept and developement is finally completely done. Before the meeting with the alm guys, the bankers and the investors me and Emil took a coffee and went thru our speeches once again. When you get there there is actually two escalators leading to the entrance to the bank so it all looks pretty cool. I think i have one picture of that from yesterdays post. Anyway it actually felt pretty exciting going to the bank all dressed up and with that fake smile that all thoose investors always have... Well we got into the room and plugged in the computer with the keynote presentation on. Actually it went pretty well even if someone had a small problem with their speech. Anyway when we are done with everything the first comment we get is "i can see on your budget that you will be bankrupt within a 5 month period".

It felt like a punch in my stomach. Seriously, could we have calculated that wrong and how couldnt we have seen it... When we were out of the office and looked it through he actually had seen it all wrong. Stupid financers, cant read and cant talk english either. Theyre a shame for Swedbank... Haha!

Well, we didnt get the money we wanted, ill understand them though. After listening to our presentation our whole business idea was pretty unclear. We should have describe our software selling alot more and i can think of 1000 things i could do better. But hey! Atleast i think we did a hellof a job so i dont really care if we didnt get the like 500.000 that we asked for. I think i did a nice presentation and i actually think with some good advertising our ReRoom could work really nice. And if we got the money we wouldnt really go thru with it anyway so there were no loss.

We only got 1 group in the class that actually got the money from the bank. And no offence now guys but got damn! It was a so strange idea and personally i really not think that it would work so i really think that was a strange thing. Of course they got 1 guy in the group that has worked with theese kinda stuff for a pretty long time so maybe therefore they got some more experience then we did, but no idea of whining. Congratulations guys!

Ok so after the whole presentation we were supposed to get back to school again, we were supposed to get a "fun personal task" that were supposed to be done in 24 hours. Fun ey? We were supposed to read through all the business plans from every group (there was 10 of em) and comment on their business... Hyper Island... wtf?

So today i actually made that and we made some evaluation on this module. Really hope they hear our critisism and do something about it this time. Time for me too sleep now, theres a time tomorrow aswell. Nighy night.

Nov 7, 2007

Failure.

We didnt get the money from the bank that we wanted. Its almost 5 o' clock in the morning and i cant sleep. Will try again though. Gonna talk a little more about the presentation tomorrow. Peace




Nov 6, 2007

Finally 2.0

Yeah, the second deadline is done. Sat all day with just making it look good and presentation. I have a appointment with the bank in 7 hours. Maybe i should get som sleep. Tomorrow is the big day people, wish me luck. Im even gonna wear my jacket with a shirt under. This feels so adult im about to puke. But hey "welcome to the big world kid" as a famous man said in the movie Boyz N The hood. Its gonna be wild tomorrow, and update as fast as were done. G'night.

Nov 5, 2007

Finally.

YES! We are finally done with our businessplan and it actually looked pretty good. Im so tired now so i really dont know what to write... I can tell you one thing though, i long for the US. Saw some pics from NY when we were there in July and damn i wanna go back. Well, going to L.A. on my internship. See the pictures and dream away from booring Sweden.
















Nov 4, 2007

Early Morning/Late Night.

When the time is 06.55 and its just me and some people left in school its time for Toto - Africa. That song gives a good mood while the same time the morning sun is rising over the trampoline at stumholmen. Today has been a allnighter and we actually managed to do some things. My eyes are splashing red and my stomache is screaming for food. Anyway we are almost done with this fucking module and that makes me so happy. You cant even imagine how this modules been. Anyway some of the people have a hard time being awake when he night is turning into morning, Like Hans for example. He fell asleep at his desk to the tunes of Funkytown music streaming out from the speakers. I was a bit boored so i ran in screamed "KAMIKAZE" and he woke up... wierd huh? Seriously im just talking shit now so i think ima go to Ångan and get some sleep. 3 hours before the lecture starts at 10pm and i think i will be kinda tired. Too bad suckes. Nighty!





Nov 1, 2007

ReRoom.

Yeah, the panic is starting to spread in my body. The presentation for the bankers is next wednesday and it feels like we have just started. Making a businessplan on 2 weeks just feels stupid. Almost allthe lecturers we had this past weeks told that making a stuff like this from start to end usually takes from 6 months to 1 year. We making it in 2 weeks... Of course it can be good to learn little fast but this feels abit too fast. Just having a lecturer talk about how to make a budgetplan for 1 hour and then we are supposed to know it. It feels a little bit too rushed and unplanned in some way. It feels good though that more and more people starting to get tired of the lead so it isnt just me. Hope they got our feedback from the followup yesterday and maybe they can take some of that and make it into something good.

Anyway me and niggepeh wrote some more on the budgetplan today and right now were making 2.4 million SEK the first year. Thats our income and our expenses is around 2.6 million SEK so were 200.000 SEK short the first year. Thats the money we hopefully get from the bank. We do think that well go plus after the second year and can start paying back the money we got from the bank and maybe some outstanding investors.

All this budgetstuff is calculated in Microsoft Excel. And got damn, its like the smartest program ive ever sat in. Just coding up the formels and it will fix everything for you. I love Excel at the moment, dont know what i would have done without it. The graphical profile is done for our company and i think it looks pretty good, as you can see theres some different variations but we choose to go with the one which had the nice red colour in it. Talking about colours please take a visit to my fav homepage right now, Colourlovers. Just choose a pattern and start your creativity or something... By the way my mom told me to write more proper in this blog and i think ill managed that this time. No curses and short terms. Nighty Nighty people.

href="style.css"

Chea, today we finally got some structure on our group. Even if people show up late or dont show up at all we know that its just to "bita i det sura äpplet" and move on with the project. We also had our group follow-up and that means like "how do you feel on a scale 1-10" questions with reflections and stuff like that. I was the last one to speak and i said everything that i though. That i was dissapointed on the school, the board and the lecturers. You know all the things ive complained about the last week flew out of me. And apparently the rest of the group felt that too. Dont know if they didnt dare to tell it before but maybe ill say more what i think then other persons. This is of course both good and bad but today i felt good support from my group so i hope that the school really hear men and not just send out a mail with the text "Put in your claws Hampus, you can need a hug".

But about the titel, there were supposed to be a workshop in CSS/xHTML today and i were pretty psyched about it because i really need to start learning some code. Anyway i was heading to the school and get my computer to get to "Ångan" which is the place the workshop was gonna be in. But when i came to school Niggepeh and Emil sat on the upper floor doing their own workshop. I know Niggepeh is really good at this so i actually joined them instead of the large group. This was a nice thing because i learned some really nice stuff that im probably gonna use on my new portfolio that im working on. I know it doesnt look good but this is just alot of testing code. At least the code is clean and im happy that i can actually can read css code now. Know what stuff means etc. You can check the code and the website out here. Love the mouseover function on the picture in the box.

Leopard.

A friend said something to me today when we was talking about the problems with Hyper Island that felt so true. "Hej vår skola är helt unik, världsbäst och vacker. ingen 'feedback' du lämnar till oss betyder egentligen något, för vi vet att vi är bäst". I dont really have any english readers so you all know what it means. The only way i write on english is because we needed a studentblog. Every student needed a blog, and just because were a international school it needed to be on english, so ive just decided to change the language and use this one instead.

Leopard was installed to my Macbook Pro today. And i gotta say i LOVE the new "mail". It has so many new features that felt so unnecessary when you didnt knew about them and they feel so right now when you have them. Like a built in RSS reader for example, its so nice. Havent really tried the other functions yet but will probably do tomorrow. Now i am deadtired and really gotta sleep. So todays macapp is actually for Leopard users only.

Shattered Group.

Monday again and first day at school after the weekend. I may have not told you that the new module is running and i am in a group of six different guys that really want to sell our idea. The problem is that some in the group has a really hard time getting here. Today we were 2 persons out of 6 on the lecture this morning that was one of the most profitable lecturers we had for this module.

And yeah, a little about the lecturers. While we in Karlskrona get the same guy for way too many times now the crew up in sthlm gets people that has been selected to like "speaker of the year" and we only get to see him on webcam... When i searched here i really thought that the standards was waaaayyy high. But i realise that theyre not. This really dissapoint me when i fought like hell to get into this "holy school". Damnit i think i put my expectations way to high for this one. I just cant wait to get rid off all the module, teachers, lecturers and the cells just so i can get to some nice internship and get the experience that im really looking after. We are a international school and some of the lectures dont even has their presentation in english. "Skärpning tamigfan"...

I know im a little negative now and you people may just think im whining and whining but when a school with this high reputation cant live up to it people will get dissapointed, and thats what i am now.

My sister arrived to the city today. We made some food, saw a film and talked a little. Was a long time ago ive seen her. Almost since i moved. Anyways its nice having her here. Tomorrow we are going out for some nice expensive food :).

Dupin... iTunes' "Show Duplicates" feature is helpful but you still have to examine every track to determine whether you want to keep or delete the tracks it finds. Smart Playlists are of dubious help and trying to locate all duplicates with them can be tedious as they can quickly crowd your Source list and slow iTunes down.

Now there's Dupin.

Dupin is your iTunes duplicates manager.

Dupin allows you to quickly find all sets of duplicate tracks in iTunes based on the criteria you choose. It can then automatically select the "Keeper" tracks from among a number of duplicates using your choice of a variety of versatile filter options. Tracks you decide not to keep can be purged from iTunes and their files optionally moved to the Trash. Dupin is flexible, fast, and easy to use.

What?

Today was a bad day. Woke up like 4pm with some headache and a terrible taste in my mouth. The memory of just throwing myself in the bed right after i saw some snowboardfilms, right after i came home, right after i was out. And when i mean out, i mean drinking, dancing and having a total blast. So i got a bit drunk and woke up with this annoying hung over and some nice memories from the night before. When actually realize that i was sitting up with my basketshorts on i remembered staying up waaaay too late the night before. When you fall asleep in your clothes when you was watching snowboardfilm in your bed is a sign that you were pretty tired. So i stayed up a little late and maybe i drank a little too much, but the evening was one of the best in a long long time.

Tatiana left today at like 6pm and around 3pm tomorrow my littlesister Hanna come visit me. Havnt seen almost since i moved here so its gonna be fun showing her Karlskrona a little. And remember my list this week, almost did all of em. I gymed 2 times, i made some print graphic, i made some 3D and i managed to sleep more then 6 hours some nights. You know i really hate going to bed, its so booring to actually get to the bed. I love to sleep, but the part before the sleeping is the most booring thing i know. Thats why im sitting here half past 3 trying to get to bed. Its a late morning tomorrow, the lecture starts at 11 so i can get myself some sleep anyway. Well well, time for me to shuffle myself to the bed now. Nighty folks.

MAC APP OF THE DAY!!!
Fan Control... Do you think your MacBook or MacBook Pro is running too hot? Then give Fan Control a try. Some MacBooks (Pro) are just to hot for daylong use. Fan Control adjusts the minimum fan speed depending on the current CPU temperature. For safety, it leaves the original automatic fan speed control intact.

Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.

Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.

Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

Quicksilver indexes and parses selected parts of the contents of your hard drive in the Catalog, so that it locates and displays the items matching your search really quickly. If you are a programmer or an uber-geek, you will be glad to know that you can extend and customise Quicksilver until it does exactly what you want it to. The modular structure also means that the application will never be bloated: You only load the modules that you find useful

Just download it, youll love it!
