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 :).

MAC APP OF THE DAY!!!
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.

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!

I've been kebabed.

Yayy, some days i wrote in this blog but i had pretty much to do, weve just started with this new module and our idea for the people between 25-40 years is a flaweless idea that is going to work 100% and we are gonna be rich on it. That is as much i can tell you right now, i will post some tryes i did for the logo. But i wont post the idea so all you thieves can take it, hehe. No, but seriously i cant, we said in the group that were not going out to people with it, its a secret for now. Nuff spoken about that, i tryed to be a little creative today aswell. Had a speed workshop with my friend stephanie. Photoshop vs. Illustrator, ofc i took the photoshop part and we had the theme "purple" to do something for 1 hour, so its kinda like speed graphic. Fun idea and creative to do. My clothes from Caliroots came today, i love my new gangster tshirt. Also ordered a trip to Holland today, its gonna be party at some festival which plays alot of d'n'b and dubstep. So excited to go there, costed like 400 SEK aswell so cheap trip. Ok, time for the sickest kebab on earth, seriously check the pic down at my friend Emil who just bought one. Its bigger then his head and we could eat it for almost 2 days. Sicker then sick!!!

MAC APP OF THE DAY!
Sapiens
Sapiens is an application launcher, it helps you access all the applications in your Mac. Sapiens is clever because it learns from you, so unlike any other launcher it predicts the applications you will likely need and offers a visualization of this prediction in an intuitive way. Sapiens is activated by moving the mouse in a circle (yes, it is a mouse gesture that finally works), therefore touching the keyboard is really the last resort to be used in case you want to search for a specific application. Sapiens was created because we recognize that users are tired of launching applications by typing (whether by using Spotlight or any other keyboard-based launcher). These launchers make us feel like we're back in the '80's when the keyboard was the only input device. Everyone wants to have visual access to their favorite applications, but it's inefficient and frustrating to organize applications in different folders or in different docks. Life is too short, and there's not enough time to waste fighting against the entropy of the system. Sapiens is next evolutionary step in application launchers. It is a visual tool that predicts the applications you will want to launch and lays out the application's icons in way that makes interaction with the mouse simultaneously intuitive and revolutionary.

The skirt issue.

Ok, i know i wrote wrong in my last post. I didnt buy a skirt, i bought a shirt. Feel the difference in the mouth and taste the bittersweet flavour of failure. I did wrong, sorry! Ok, on to my life then. Remember i did a list last sunday, its gonna be one this week too. And i actually managed to do almost everything on that list. I didnt do any print though, and no motiongraphic aswell. But i trained actually 3 times not 2. No snickers or candy aswell. Only 1 kexchoklad and i was worth that one. And the reason that i didnt made any print or motion was that ive been doing alot of 3D this week. I was out photographnig today aswell, check further down for pictures.
