Cold

It's this time of year again when everyone starts to get some sort of cold, luckily for me I just got the dripping nose and a weezy throat. I've been taking some naturopathic drug and it helps quite a bit. I started to eat better again, was a few days there that I didn't feel like eating very much since I only laid in bed. I've also been working (now that I feel better) on my big brothers wifes flash site and it's turning out quite nice.

Today I sat and figured out this ActionScripting thing that is so powerful in flash, but it turns out that I can't use AS 3.0 since the template I'm working on uses AS 1.0 & 2.0 and therefore there is no support for AS 3.0 but I figured out how to do the same thing but in AS 2.0 so everyone is happy =)

Haven't really played any games lately, just been sleeping in, getting better and watching some TV, and ofcurse taking care of business (the flash site). I think once the deadline is met and the site is up and running as it should, maybe with some minor flaws. I should be able to play something as a reward to myself for being so super duper extra great :) Well that's that and now I'm off to bed :D

C'ya!

The Portal is open!

So today I finished the new game called Portal, it was a bit mindblowing, it got the better part of my brain to start working again since it wasn't just some shoot-em-up first person game thats brain dead. No in this one you had to actually use your brain to get somewhere, at first it was fairly easy but as the game progresses you have to think and plan more and more on what your next step is going to be. I highly recommend to try this new kind of game, it's fun and you never get stuck, just use your imagination when you "get stuck".

My friend came over after his ex had been at their apartment and collected some of her stuff, so to take his mind of things we watched 'Meet the Robinsons' it was a really good animated movie, quite some fun. After that we played some Rally Sport Challange 2 on my Xbox and just hung out as we use to. Tomorrow is monday (how I hate mondays) but not this monday since tomorrow I'm going to finish off some of my laboratory work from school, so I will finally get my degree one day :)

I got ahold of the new laboratory work from this years course and it seemed fairly easy so I'm gonna give it a go and see where I end up ;) Well thats that for now, I think I should get into bed so I won't sleep the whole day tomorrow.

L8ter!

Episode Two

Yesterday I went downtown to pick up my pre-ordered copy of The Orange Box which includes Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode One, HL2: Episode Two, Portal and the new Team Fortress 2. Just to get the story right I played through Episode One again (although I had already done that a while ago but anyway) and after that I started Episode Two to find out that it had an pre-rendered movie from Episode One with some key notes from what happend in the previous episode. A wee bit annoying don't you think? I thought so, anyway after the movie the game starts and I had maxed out the graphics to get the ultimate feeling and boy what a feeling. The story in Half-Life and Half-Life 2 is just to die for, I love when there is a great game with a good story in it. I finished Episode Two in about 2 days time, it was much longer than Episode One, at one point I thought is this never gonna end? But then it did, surprise surprise ;)

I haven't tried Portal or Team Fortress 2 yet but I will. I also have been working on my big brothers wifes new homepage. It's entirely in flash and I haven't worked with flash in a while so it is a bit challenging with the new version and I also haven't worked with an entire homepage made in flash before but it certainly isn't impossible ;) I have done some changes and more will come... tomorrow. I hope to have the site up this weekend so I have some work ahead of me to do :)

Well I'll blog again soon, now I'm off to bed :P

Studies

So I've decided that I'm going to finish my classes that are kinda left behind since I left finished school. I have some Math, Physics, AI programming stuff and my Bachelor Thesis work still left to finish before I can get my graduation. No rush I'll just take one thing at a time and then finish off big :) I'm soon going to the states once more and to Whistler to go skiing, it's gonna me so awsome, we totally are going to bring the digital camera this time.

Watched the Sweden - Northern Ireland soccer game today and the final score was 1 - 1, kinda booring since Sweden had most of the match but hey that's soccer. Oh and that job interview I was on last didn't go as planned but in a way it kinda did. I got the reply that I didn't get the position but that just made room for plan B which is to pick up my studies again and finish them once and for all.

Oh and the movie Ratatouille is a genius movie, I think everyone should go and see it NOW!!! I loved it and so did all my friends who has watched it. Well this wasn't a very long blog today but I suddenly got the memory-of-blankness in my head so I really don't know what more to blog about today, but tomorrow is a new day and I'll probably have something more to blog about then :) Until then...

"Goodby and thanks for all the fish!"

Wild hogs

I watched a great movie today, wild hogs (yepp as the topic) and ate dinner with my friend. It was a real comedy I can tell you that for sure, because I laughed so much I got tummyache. After the movie I went home, and played some Counter-Strike Source (GunGame) with my friend who I had had dinner with and watched the movie. Why I had to get home was that dad wanted to get a mail to the last minute mail box.

After we had killed some peeps in the virtual world we decided to check out the latest computer stuff and see what we can afford (soon). I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and Graphics Card. When I've done that my baby brother can have my old CPU which is way better then the one he is having right now. Also if my currently owned Graphics Card is better then the one he has right now he can have mine once I install my new one.

Damn I'm getting really tired, my eyelids are heavy as a rock, I guess I'll better hit the sack now. And for the sake of it I hope that Academic Work calls me tomorrow with some news, hopefully before the cruise I'm going on :)

Well good night folks!

Another one

So I've been up to some stuff, running around to interviews, spending some time with my friends and family. Guess what? Yepp I got yet another interview, well I actually got turned down on one of my interviews last week but the guys that where interviewving me got a very good impression of me and they decided to offer me another position in one of their affiliated companies (which are in the same building). I got positive to the idea so I accepted the interview offer and now I have one tomorrow.

I still haven't heard from the other one, but I'm still waiting for the phone to ring. Anyway this sunday I watched a movie called Deck the Halls and it was really great, really christmassy. Next up I think I'll be watching Wild Hogs. Some series have started again that I haven't noticed until yesterday, I recently watched the new episodes of Las Vegas and I loved it, interesting turn of events in the series.

Boy I wounder when I'm gonna get a job, and if I get to the point where I have to choose between 2 I don't know which one :S I kinda like them both but maybe one is going to play the other one out. On wednesday I'm going golfing again with mom, I don't know if my baby brother is coming but if he is thats gonna be great, otherwise it'll just be mom and I :) Well I guess I shoud be heading for bed now but I'm not feeling tierd at all, maybe I'll just watch an episode of Two and a half Men and then hit the pillow.

Tata!

Interview

Short blog today since I'm heading of to bed. Just a pop in notice that I got a interview offering today from a consulting company called xlnt. They wanted me to come in for an interview for one of their jobs at one of their clients. I got this call since I had registered my CV at monster.se and of course my big brother deserves all the credit since he was the one that gave me the tip to put my CV there. Now all of a sudden I have 2 interviews to go to this week and we'll see how it goes. I'll be updating more frequently now (I think) ;)

Well time for bed!

Ta ta!
