Boredom Is...

Everybody knows Love Is... comic strip. I should probably start making Boredom Is... as I get more and more ideas almost every day. So, today's boredom is driving to a big supermarket to buy smoothie ingredients which you can get from a shop next door.

My New T-shirt

Handmade. Here's the comic and here's the technology.

Balcony BBQ

Thought it got a bit colder in the evening and the sun wasn't shining anymore the will to grill something outside wasn't gone. The stationary grill was still covered with snow and seemed to be in ruins so we used couple of disposable ones. On a dorm's balcony.

And then we built an empty beer bottles pyramid. Here it is with two Portuguese girls:


We should do it again tomorrow.

Snowing Again

Internet Explorer is the biggest pain in the ass of every web designer. Fuckin' hate it!

Svanstein

New owner seem to be investing money into the place. It looks much better than it used to be previous years thanks to renovation. I hope this one won't go bankrupt like the previous owners did.

Saving your ass by signing a petition blaming your teacher for incompetence just because you can't solve some assignment isn't that nice, don't you think so? If you don't understand a shit it might not be just teacher's fault. I managed to pass this course last year and no, I wasn't familiar with the subject before. So don't call me an exception. And I'm not gonna solve or sign anything.

Insomnia can be productive sometimes. I couldn't sleep last night at all. To many ideas were going through my head. I felt sleepy for awhile but I couldn't fall asleep. So I went to computer and programmed a client for the XML-interface for the project I've made earlier. Seems like my teammates don't have that much left to do. I wish I could dedicate tasks and get some result out of it. But I have to deal with what I have and most of the time I have to take "if you want it to be done, do it yourself" approach.

Exactly!

Ylläs

Ylläs was pretty crowded this Easter. But thanks to the herd instinct still left in humans I didn't have to wait in 100 meters long queue every time I was taking a ride up. Nobody was entering from the other side of the lift at all! And people were just waiting in line because there were people waiting in line. I see no other reason.


I've visited a home zoo there. I wanted to steal one of these cute little creatures so much!


Ostriches wanted to peck me all the time.


Reindeers wanted to gore me.


And I ate bear, reindeer and moose meat.

Postcrossing

After a year break I'm back to postcrossing again.

Windows Mobile 6

My hp iPAQ hx2410 is running WM6 now! Pretty cool, huh? It's not officially supported but its warranty expired couple of years ago anyways so I had nothing to loose. It worked perfectly fine with WM5 and the latest firmware from hx2790 but for some unknown reason it didn't want to connect to my university's wireless network which uses PEAP authentication. I didn't want to go back to WM2003SE so I gave WM6 a chance. And it works! It works quite fast and no bugs were noticed so far.

Blah blah blah...

Home, Sweet Home

Yes. We made it back. We made it back by the same '89 Ford Escort. Here are some photos: http://flickr.com/photos/siansaparo/sets/72157604065024062/. Comments and descriptions later.

Oh yeah!

Amsterdam is so fucking great! And yes, we made it. We made it through Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands and finally we are in Amsterdam. We were laughed at and called insane but we made it by '89 Ford Escort. :D The way back is left but I hope it will be as easy as here.

Road Trip

Yay! Despite everything we're going! Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Bremen, Amsterdam, The Hague and Oslo on the way back are waiting! Let's hope Daniel's shitmobile will take us there and back safely.

Job

Happiness isn't about money but it's hard to be happy without any money. Being a sponger sitting on parents' shoulders brings me some money but it definitely isn't making me happy. I do need a job. But what I can have at the moment is a minimal wage general worker position, web-master with just one client, the one who can offer only a minimal wage general worker position besides web-site support, and an unpaid trainee position at lab as they claim they don't have sufficient funding to pay trainees though I think they just don't take trainees seriously. Though I've showed my skills and knowledge last year and they seemed to be impressed. Maybe they really don't have enough funding.

But anyways it's all in my hands. And I know appreciation will come sooner or later but I have to work really hard to prove that I am worth it. All I need is an opportunity. Summer is coming and a summer job is an excellent opportunity. All I need is to find one. So once again I'm sending applications to companies all around hoping for the best. Lab would be the last resort but this time I want something more.

OMFG!!!

New Addicton

It might sound weird but caviar with banana tastes really great! Unfortunately the only place you can get the banana one is Sweden but I'm lucky to live 30 km from the border.

Unexpected Income

It's nice to get wage especially when you don't expect it. Not much though but better than nothing. And I thought I'm not working there anymore. The breakup was kinda weird and I didn't know what to think. But it turned out that I actually have work. And I will have at least for awhile. It won't bring much income and I won't make my living but it will let me be at least a little bit less thrifty.
