Many worlds theory

2011-12-09T23:21:00.001+01:00

I have recently become very obsessed with the many worlds theory. The theory that says there exists an infinite number of universes, which also means there exists an infinite number of versions of me which are all a little bit or a lot different. It started after re watching some episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon mentions this theory. I started doing some research, wikipedia, YouTube videos and eventually found an episode of "The Universe" about this. So it turns out there's some scientists who are pretty serious about it. Actually there's theories about four different kinds of multiple universes, meaning infinite^4 universes.

I forgot if there was anything I wanted to say with this. Anyway I find it quite an interesting philosophical subject. That there might be some version of me that has done things a bit differently makes you really wonder what those differences could have affected. It also gives a kind of calm, knowing that if there's something I don't get done there will always be a version of me that does. So that thing still get's done in some universe somewhere. Maybe even in multiple other universes. Something that also hit me at one point, is that I really owe the other versions of me to not chicken out of doing something, because even if I'm not successful there will always be a version of me that is. Ofcouse the theory would suggest that even if I don't try some versions of me will.

I just saw "Another Earth" which deals with something like this, however it's a mirror version of earth that suddenly appears close to earth. And they ask at some point what would you do if you met the mirror version of yourself. And I thought what would I do if I met another version of me from a multiple universe. And I would ask him about how he is different from me and find out how those differences has changed his life, what he has learned from them that I haven't because I did something different. So as to learn from him, learn more about myself.

Groceries

2011-02-28T18:16:00.003+01:00

A look at the groceries I bought today.

Kopa teaches PHP: URL routing done simple

2011-02-20T23:55:00.001+01:00

URL routing is to have an url called something like "kopasite.net/records/pack/TKT/" instead of "kopasite.net?records.php?pack=TKT", using somewhat same principle as the $_GET variables to include pages. It can be done pretty complicated, but in the end it's just a matter of dividing the url into a number of variables that you use to include pages ect.

To do URL routing modrewrite needs to be turned on in your PHP installation.

First off you need to add some stuff to your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ajax - [L]
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

First line turns the rewriting on. Second line makes an exception that the folder ajax will not be used for rewriting. I'm doing that as I have an actual folder called ajax with php files in it, that I otherwise will not be able to call with ajax functions as it would redirect them to index.php. Third lines redirects any files except the file types mentioned to your index.php file. So that means whatever link you make on your site it will redirect to index.php.

When it does that you can in your index.php file make an include that will include another .php according to the url.

So in your index.php or some route.php that is included in index.php you make the following code:

$already_there = str_replace('index.php', '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$slightly = str_replace($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$uri = str_replace($already_there, '', $slightly);

This part does some manipulation with the url and gives a string with anything after your domain name, the part that will decide which page to include.

if($uri != ""){
    $pieces = array_filter(explode("/", $uri));
    if(count($pieces) == 3){
        $s = $pieces[0];
        $p = $pieces[1];
        $t = $pieces[2];
    }elseif(count($pieces) == 2){
        $s = $pieces[0];
        $p = $pieces[1];
    }elseif(count($pieces) == 1){
        $s = $pieces[0];
    }
}

This parts sets up to three variables that you can use to include pages or do other stuff with, like you'd use $_GET values. First line checks if the string is empty, if it is we don't set any variables ofcourse. Second line divides the url into an array, dividing by /'s, as well as removes any empty values from the array, which can happen if the url ends with an /. You can also use any other symbol like a dot or whatever if you like. You could stop now and use the variables $pieces[0] ect. in your scripts. I don't want to have them in an array so I do some more. The next if else part makes sure we don't set any values if we have nothing to put into them. It simples makes the variables $s for section, $p for page and $t for tab in that order if they exists, which I in turn use to include other pages.

For example on index.php I have this code:

$sections = array("records", "news", "info", "contest", "download", "community", "tools");
    if(in_array($s, $sections)){
            include "$s.php";
    }

First line is the different sections I have on my site, which I use to make sure it doesn't include a page that doesn't exist. Next it checks if $s exists in this array I made and then include a php file with that name.

And that's it.

There is just one more thing to remember. When you are on the url "kopasite.net/records/pack/TKT/" for example it will still think you're inside a folder. So if you have any pictures or css files ect. you need to set an absolute link to these. Like:

<img src="/images/logo.png">

Instead of:

<img src="images/logo.png">

The wonder that is jQuery

2011-02-18T21:16:00.000+01:00

After someone asking wether I had any plans for use some jQuery stuff on EOL site, I got curious and checked it out. This resulting in me using it for some features on NAVOK I've had planed for a long time. Some rather simple showing and hiding of something, but with jQuery it was quite a lot simpler than it usually would be. I can only recommend it for your future javascript and ajax needs. I have not yet tried it out for ajax but it seems as straight forward.

Dreaming in english

2010-10-18T01:46:00.000+02:00

So I had this interesting dream last night. Have been thinking about it multiple times throughout the day, and then suddenly it hit me, that the whole dream was in english. So I started thinking about this and I'm pretty sure it's something that happens from time to time. I just thought that was kind of funny, weird, interesting. Ofcourse it makes sense, since I spend a lot of the day writing, reading, hearing english. I wonder what controls this..

Computer upgrade

2010-07-07T18:57:00.001+02:00

In April I started seriously concidering upgrading my computer. The parts that needs upgrading are the motherboard, cpu and ram. So a big and costly affair. Along with that I'll also be getting an aftermarked cooler for a quieter computer and overclocking capabilities, as I'll probably be trying that out. Aswell as a new case with more modern features, such as better cable management, left turned harddrive bays ect. Also it will probably be time for my yearly new harddrive. As I said I started thinking about it in April but soon decided to wait untill after the summer, as I won't be using it when at parents place for summer and such, and hopefully prices will fall a bit.

So this is what I'm looking at, at the moment:

Case: Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
CPU: Phenom II X4 955 or 965
RAM: 2x2 gb Crucial BallistX
Cooler: Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX (unreleased)

The CM 690 II case is the only one with the features and structure that I want, and also looks good, while still leaving room for case modding as I'll be trying out. Therefore the color of the parts is also playing a factor when choosing them, ofcourse as long as it doesn't comprimise quality. The motherboard is a pretty expensive one and maybe a bit overkill, but I'm choosing it because of the nice color scheme, built in X-Fi soundcard, nice auto overclocking features and it has the newest chipset and futureproofed with stuff like USB 3 and SATA 3 ect. Was looking at the Zalman CNPS 9900 NT at first because of the nice look and color fitting my color scheme, and ofcourse good reviews, then saw a new version was comming which seems to fix the few bad things mentioned about it in reviews. The 965 CPU was in April when I started looking the best AMD on the marked, and still an affordable price (later the 6 core has been released, but it's still pretty expensive). However some say the 955 is pretty much as good, especially when overclocking, so might aswell save the 200DKK. The Crucial RAM is getting good reviews and still close to the cheapest ones. Was going for 8gb at first, but a Tom's Hardware article about RAM requirements made me change my mind to 4gb. More is only really needed if using multiple big applications like photoshop at once, which is quite rare for me, and can always upgrade later ofcourse.

Still might change some ofcourse if pricing changes, but I think this is very close to what I'll be getting. Might get the case and start casemodding while at my parents place for summer so I can use my fathers tools and such. The rest will probably be in August, September or when I have the money (so 2014).

Summer todo list

2010-07-07T14:22:00.001+02:00

These are the things that I've thought about maybe doing during the summer

Sell my moped
Start out with some case modding
Work on project "NAVOK"
Finish EOL site
Watch FIFA World Cup
Watch Tour De France

Hopefully I'll get around to doing all of it.

New design

2010-07-07T13:32:00.000+02:00

Got kind of bored with the old design of the blog, so used blogger's new design tool thing to create this design. Hopefully that will encourage me to write some more ;-)

Eurovision Song Contest 2010

2010-06-01T16:09:00.001+02:00

I think the final was maybe the best show ever ;o Apart from about a handfull of songs they were all really good in my opinion. I really liked german song aswell so I'm really happy it won. Was considering betting money on it but was already minus 200€ in my account so couldn't afford loosing anything :/ There were so many good songs so I voted four times in the final, on Germany, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.

I was kinda of afraid it would be a bad final with some really bad song going to final like the isreali, russian, greece and belgium songs, and a couple of good ones not going to final like the swedish, finnish and latvian. However still a lot of good ones in final as I said.

The waiting-for-votes show was really nice this year aswell, for once it was actually not totally boring to watch. The voting was exciting aswell, not the first place, but the fight for second place, especially with Denmark in the fight. As for the danish song I really like it except the chorus which is boring and totally ruins it, too bad caus I really like the other parts of the song.

So all in all a fucking amazing show :)~

Random though on abort

2010-04-14T15:13:00.003+02:00

The ethical question on abort can be compared to a heads up Texas Hold 'Em poker game. When you are small blind, or big blind and the other player has raised, you are considering wether you should call or fold. The flop about to come that could make your hand good or bad, can be thought of as both existing and non existing. It doesn't really exist because no one has seen it and the cards are random, so the potential hand you could get doesn't exist before the flop is shown, therefore you do not lose that potential hand if you fold, as it doesn't exist yet.

The same way when a baby is growing inside a belly it is only a potential person. It is only a certain set of genes and a biological animal, there is yet no soul. In my head what makes a person into the person he or she is, is the things that happen around and to him or her, and not the genes which merely is how a person is biologically build. So in that way a baby inside a belly does not exist before it is born.

So in the same way as the poker hand before the flop, one does not lose anything by giving it up.

Samsung B6050 LED TV

2010-04-08T18:11:00.003+02:00

For a long time I've been tired of the noobness of my old TV, a Prosonic LCD HDTV 32''. Pixelerror, losing connection from PC, some extreme flickering when watching from antenna ect. So after reading many a reviews, forum entries ect. I was down to choosing between two TVs. The LG L8000 and the Samsung B6050. Both 37''. I visited pretty much all electronic stores in the city to try and find them so I could seem them in real life, found the Samsung a few places but the LG was no where to be found. However some time later when I had a few minutes wait for the bus I went into one of the stores I'd been in before to see if they should have gotten the LG in the meantime and to my luck they had.

After that I decided to go with the Samsung based on it's better design and the fact that the picture quality seemed pretty equal, which is also what different reviews have said, the Samsung bit better at some things and the LG a bit better at other things.

Still didn't buy it right away as I was waiting for a nice offer somewhere. Just before the olympics I discovered I have DR HD, which sent a lot of olympics, but I needed the new TV with digital tuner which my old was lacking to see it, so I decided to buy the new one few days into the olympics.

Is EOL the holy grail?

2010-02-25T23:32:00.003+01:00

Milagros has announced he will finish EOL this weekend, after which we'll have a two week testing period with more testers and it will be released. So that means EOL out in mid March if things goes well.

It's been, what? three years? in the making with continuously pushed release dates by mila. I believe he at one point said spring '08? Anyway during this period it has been hyped, forgotten, rehyped and sometimes talked of like the holy grail. But is it all it's cracked up to be?

Being beta tester and designer of the webpage I have been close to the development for the past 1½ years. There has been really A LOT of smaller and bigger updates and features added, more than mila or any tester can remember I'm sure. Big ones are things like cooperative multiplayer, but some of the smaller ones are important aswell, things that will make the daily use more pleasant. This is things like being able to download any level ever played ingame and TCP mode for port forwarding noobs.

However the most important thing maybe is the site, that hopefully will bring people together about more than just the current battle and the last five chat lines. This is what I believe will be what makes or breaks the great succes of EOL, the people. If people doesn't play online all the time and get their stats recorded, if people doesn't use the site to see stats for the levels they play and if people doesn't use the potential of the extensive stats it will just be belma with a couple of new battle modes. On the other hand if people do do all these things and really come together around it, this is not just a new version of belma but more than we ever could have hoped for in Elasto Mania 2.

So it really is up to the people and, well me, and what I make of the site. The holy grail is there, we just have to grab it ;-)

Acer Aspire Timeline 1810tz

2010-02-02T00:07:00.003+01:00

My old laptop, a Zepto Znote, broke during the christmas holiday. The graphics card was suddenly totally fucked up, causing the screen to viewed twice on the monitor, on top of each other, and the colors totally fucked up. At first I thought it was the memory as it was also giving some BSOD screens with memery error and taking out one of the ram blocks fixed it. But it turned out it was just random when it happened and eventually it happened again and more and more frequently, untill it was like 95% of the times I turned it on.
It had still waranty but Zepto has recently went bankrupt so not much help in that. Eventhough it's not an onboard graphics card I found out it's integreted in the motherboard, which means it will be quite expensive to get fixed. And seeing as the motherboard had just been replaced a couple of months earlier, for different issue though (that time on warranty as it was before they went bankrupt) I didn't want to spend a lot of money fixing it, if it would just brake again. So I decided to get a new one. Also because I wanted a bit smaller one, and was tired of the old ones noise.

After some research I pretty quickly find the Acer Timeline 1810tz/3810tz to fit my needs perfectly, and at a nice price. This time I went for a much cheaper one, as I don't really need to good hardware I had in the old one, as I mostly use it for uni and when I'm at my parents place. There is an 11.7'' and a 13,3'' version of it, after seeing both of them in local stores I decided on the smaller one, and bought it at wupti.com for 510€.

After recieving it I was immediately reassured I had choosen the right size, it just felt really nice to work with. Today I could debut it at the semester's first lecture.

Night of dreams

2010-01-19T18:30:00.002+01:00

Last night I had no less than three dreams I remembered, all somewhat sad and borderline nightmares.

First one was that Abula had closed down the elma scene. How one would do that I'm not sure, but he had decided that it now was time to stop it all. There was a news post on moposite with more than 100 comments and GuyB had made the first comment. I wasn't home on that day I think so saw it the next and got really sad. Almost started crying, but then it turned out it was an aprils fool.

At the second I was at some kind of market or festival or something with some shops and booths, I was going to one of them, not really sure was it was about. However Hitler was still alive and he was coming to that booth aswell with his wife. Somehow I knew he was now 101 years old, and I say hi to him and his wife and shook his hand, which was really fragile because he was so old.

In the third my great grandmother had died and me and my four siblings (3 older brothers, 1 younger sister) where to get the heritage. In the start me and 2 of my brothers were riding around on horses for some reason. We had the will on a piece of paper and someone lost it in the sea or dock or something. That meant we couldn't get the money and we were quite sad. However someone then jumped in the water and got the paper back. A bit later my three brother were talking to the guy who adminstrated the will and it turned out that the money would only be given the three of us that were riding on the horses before for some reason. However my three brothers were trying to get the money for them. I saw they were talking about it and protested, and said I'd be glad to share it will all five of us. Then I don't remember if anymore happened.

On another note the best of 2009 winners will come today or tomorrow, and I turned on word verification for comments, as I've gotten some spam comments lately.

3. semester exams

2010-01-12T16:22:00.002+01:00

Right now I'm in the middle of writing my last exam of this fall semester. Had 3 courses, one of them (Work, Media and Interaction) was just be present and pass, the two others had written exams, the first one (Visual Analysis) 12-15 pages and the last (Studium Generale, which is some philosophy thing) which I'm writing now 8-12 pages.

In the first I wrote about the visuel presentation of animals in The Lion King, in this one I write about the philosophers Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn, comparing them and comparing them to positivism. And yes it's boring as hell. 1 page down and due monday.

Series fall 2009 and emmys followup

2009-12-11T22:46:00.003+01:00

I wanted to do a post like this many times last couple of years but never got around to it, lets see if I finish it this time.

First a little followup on my kopa emmys. I introduced the honorary award this year because this kind of awards don't really honor those REALLY amazing series like they deserve. The awards are just for what were good that season and depends a lot of which other series were on at the same time, so winning best comedy one year for example might be easier one year than another, and the actors awards ofcourse doesn't tell if they show is really good, ofcourse a little but. However this award which will not necessary be given out every year are to honor those REALLY good shows that are still good five years after they ended. So it obviously had to go to Friends, and if it's not obvious to you, either you haven't seen it in which case you shouldn't be reading this, my blog might be good but doesn't compare to friends, or if you have seen it you obviously have no sense of homour what so ever. Anyway I can still watch this show today and totally crack up or get sad when something bad happens and it continues to be one of the things I mostly wanna do at any time even though I have seen it very many times. On that note a new version of the DVD set was recently released, which I bought even though I had a DVD set already of it, but this had the uncut version, which is some 30 to 120 extra seconds per episode. Doesn't sound like much but it's almost 10 new episodes all in all. Some parts I can see why they decided to cut those but others are really funny and good.

Wow this was a long paragraph. So here's a short one to make up for it.

Back to the current shows that were awarded. Comedy series was somewhat close between Scrubs and HIMYM, but Scrubs really had a good ending (I know it's still on, but Bill Lawrence said it's practically a spin-off, and they only kept the name for business reasons).

Drama series was really really hard to decide, Both FNL and Lost had simply amazing seasons, I can't even remember what made me choose one of them.

There are two other shows I'd like to mention, which both got cut of rather quick. Cupid and The Ex List. Both shows that were mainly romances which not really any shows are, which made me really like them.

Enough about last season. Now let's have a look at some of the new shows. To make it easy I'm just gonna catagorize them.

The really bad, that I stopped watching after one or a few episodes:
The Forgotten
V

The okay shows that I just watch because there are nothing better or I've already invested in the charactors:
Modern Family

The fine shows:
Community
Flash Forward
The middle
Melrose Place

The really good:
Accidentally on Purpose
Mercy
Glee
Cougar Town
Scrubs - Med School

Melrose Place I have to say really surprised me. Glee is really nice because it's such a different shows. Cougar Town and Accidentally on Purpose are really fun. Mercy might be your usual medical show, but I haven't watched many of them. Scrubs - med school, which I choose to catagorize as a new show is off to a good start, I hope it will stay well (phun intended ;)).

Twitting

I joined twitter a while back, so I thought maybe I could get those updates on the blog and it turns out I can. So now you can see them in the sidebar :).

Emotional Rollercoaster

2009-09-30T22:50:00.000+02:00

..the story of my summer holiday 2009.

The semester ended with a B in both subjects, quite nice after the C and E last semester. After the last exam my class had a grill party to celebrate and another smaller one a couple of days later for those of us who were not at Roskilde Festival. Two nice evenings. The day after that it was the third of july, my mothers birthday. Danish rock band Magtens Korridor played at Tivoli here in Århus that day which my parents wanted to see, so they came here for that and at the same time I could come home with them. My siblings were at Roskilde and scout camp, so it were just the three of us. We eat at Tivoli, a nice buffet, before the concert, and eventhough it's not the kind of music I usually hear it was a fine concert.

The next weekend was the time of the Britney Spears concert at Parken, Copenhagen, for which I had bought a ticket. I borrowed my mothers car and drove to Århus the day before, so the trip on the day of the concert were a little shorter. Before driving to the concert I went across the border to Germany to buy some cheap soda and booze. Some six 24 packs soda, one 24 pack cider, a Morgan rome and some candy. Then to Copenhagen. It was an awesome concert in some ways, but in some other ways not so much. It was probably the most spectacular scene show in any concert ever. However it was playback except for 'Everytime' which was quite beautiful. Anyway I wouldn't wanna have missed it, but I do hope next time she drops the big scene show and sings instead :).

Since I wasn't going on any vacations this summer I was hoping to watch a lot of Tour De France, which I did, and a lot of July went with that. After the concert I got a flu which lasted almost 2 weeks :/ So that caused me to be very little active in the middle of July. On the 18th it was my birthday, so the day before (because my brother was going to a wedding on the actual day) we, my parents and siblings, took on a small trip. First to this place were they've made a miniature copy of the world (picture), a place I've wanted to go for a long time. After that we went to Mariager, a small city at the coast, where we walked around a bit and got something to eat.
A small week later my brother had a housewarming party were me, my sister and her boyfriend were invited, other guests were his former roomates and scout friends. Which meant there were not that many people I knew, but it turned out to be fine party none the less.

After that the two last stages in Tour De France. The absolut highlight of which were ofcourse dane Nicky Sørensen's stage win, and a beautiful one at that. His facial expression when driving across the finish line was so awesome (picture). As you should know Contador won, not exactly my favourite rider after him getting a free victory in 2007. A goal of mine this year was to find a new rider to cheer on in the years to come, preferably someone young I can see improve in the coming years. This since my previous favourites are not the Tour anymore, such as Indurain, Mancebo and Rasmussen. Hopefully one of two of these will be back though. However I noticed Tony Martin as a good candidate. Apart from a single mountain stage where he lost a lot he did quite nice and hopefully in the years to come he can do even better. And ofcourse I can't help but like the Shlecks.

In end july my grandfather was sent to the hospital, bad heart, after couple of days there were talks of him being sent home, but he suddenly got much worse and died the 2nd august, with funeral the 7th.

On the 8th I went back to Århus for a movie night with some of my classmates. We saw Hot Shots! Part Deux, Ghost Busters, Die Hard, Dawn of the Dead, Team America: World Police. Many of which not really my normal type of movie, but despise that and the awful pizza it was a nice night.

I stayed in Århus the next two weeks not doing that much. I started cycling every two or three days untill I got a flat tire. This happened while I was cycling home from Bilka were I bought a new camera. A Canon Ixus 110 is.

I went back to my parents place for the last week because of two parties the last two weekends. First was a 22 birthday party with one of my friends from high school. Awesome party, seeing some of my old friends that I don't see that often anymore. The next weekend was the wedding of one of my parents old friends. This was the first wedding I ever been to, so that was kind of exciting eventhough it was pretty low key. Next day I went back to Århus to get ready for the new semester.

Lying positions

2009-06-28T16:52:00.002+02:00

So lately I've been having a hard time finding a good lying position when going to sleep, always moving around and such. Maybe it's because I'm getting so old now that I've been lying a lot and have used up all the good lying position, so I can't find any good ones anymore?

The King is Dead

2009-06-26T21:06:00.003+02:00

At first didn't want to write about this, as I don't really write about that much stuff that happens, but it did affect me a lot today and last night. The king of pop died, eventhough I'm not really a fan of him, I have no problem calling him that. Last night around 23 people started pasting links in IRC saying he had had a heart attack. Soon there were rumours he was dead. I wanted to get some better confirmation, but knowing from experience, when rumours come like that they're most likely true.

I followed it live on CNN.com a short while and then saw two episodes of Friends (The one with the proposal part 1 and 2). After that I tuned it at CNN.com again and short after CNN had confirmed the death. Followed it for a while, just wanting to follow what is arguably the "biggest" death in my lifetime.

I think I've never watched as many news transmissions as I've done today, saw two on DR Update and TV2 news twice aswell. I even bought a news paper (Ekstra Bladet). Also downloaded the Thriller album today, and saw a guy who had bought some best of album of him at the pizza place.

As I said I've never really been a big fan of him, but I've still heard his songs a lot ofcourse. I remember following the decision of his trial in 2005 talking about it on IRC being very happy that he was found not guilty. One day at the danish emergency management agency driving to or from a running session, we heard Billie Jean in the radio and talked about him. After that I heard that song a lot for some time. During the first week at uni we had some singing competition thing where I had to sing Billie Jean, not an easy song to sing :-).

He made some amazing songs and has surely inspired many of those pop artists I listen to today. He was a big icon and it still hard to believe he is really dead.

EOL site: Teams

2009-06-04T17:13:00.005+02:00

As you may know I'm making the website for the upcoming elma online. I'll write some posts about some of the features that I make, or maybe just this one post, we'll see.

Recently I've been working on how teams should work. At first you could just join any team, but because of the team rankings this was not such a good idea. It's not totally decided yet which ranking system we're going to use and how the team ranking is going to work. However team ranking might work a bit like this. Right now it's an average of the players in team, but someone suggested that instead it works like the individual ranking, so that in a battle the best player of each team in that battle counts for the team ranking that battle and the ranking points achieved is calculated based on the teams and other teams ranking.

This is why it is important that no one plays a battle while in a wrong team, hence fucking up the team ranking. The solution I decided on after discussing it a bit with kd is as follows. By default you can join any team you like. Anyone in a team can then lock and unlock the team. So when the team is locked obviously no one can join it. It also saves a history of which teams you've been in when. So that in case someone joins an unlocked team he is not part of, plays a battle, and fucks up the teams ranking, we can edit his team history and recalculate the team rankings using the team history.

I have coded it all except the part that recalculates the team ranking according to the team history. So I hope I'll be able to so all this works ;-)

And sorry it all this doesn't make any sense, but it does in my head atleast.

Goodbye Scrubs

2009-05-08T12:11:00.003+02:00

So last night was the last episode of Scrubs. Life feels so empty today...

Started watching it at the end of season four, catching up over the spring and summer. Since then it has been one of my very favourite series. The finale was a great ending, I especially liked the fantasy at the end, getting a glimpse of what might happen in the future for the characters. After watching it I couldn't think of anything else, so spent the the rest of the evening reading scrubs forums, searching wallpapers, poster, other stuff, listening music from the show and eventually started rewatching first couple of eps from first season.

I've had a lot great times with Scrubs, such as watching it at the hotel in Manchester, and just watching it every week, and it has gotten me through some tough times, such as the night before my eurotrip being really nervous.

Thank you Scrubs.

Sunday night nostalgia

2009-03-17T15:31:00.002+01:00

Saturday afternoon I suddenly heard a big BANG! and all the power in my apartment was gone. After turning on the relay again I realised it was my computer that had burned out. After telling about it on #ranks aph0 said he was max sure it was the PSU that had burned out.

After reading some reviews I decided on a Corsair HX520W, to replace the old, in the hope that on other parts had burned out with it. I found a local store that had it so I could get it from there already monday.

This all leads to what I really wanted to say. As I couldn't use my stationary computer with all my mp3's I used my laptop, and at one point heard some songs from youtube. I ended up hearing/seeing a lot of more or less nostalgic songs, and made a playlist of them.

To get back to the PSU, I got the new one monday, put it in, and it worked \o/.

Update: Since Eurotrip

2008-10-01T17:37:00.000+02:00

Didn't want to do any other posts before I was finished with the posts about my eurotrip, so here's a little update on what's been going on since.

A week or so after I got home I started looking for a job. Planned on getting a job for three months so I could have a good long summer holiday before maybe starting on university or something. After searching some I found a temp agency which I figured might be the best solution since I didn't need a job for so long. It turned out to be a good solution, not that the things I got to do was especially exciting, just simple factory stuff. However the temp agency had a lot of work, so there were only like three or four days during those three months where I didn't work, of those days I wanted to work. Quitted at the end of june.

During those three months it was also a very big priority to figure out what I wanted to do after the summer. I was pretty certain I wanted to go to university as I really liked the time in high school I thought it could be cool. However I was, and still am for that matter, really not sure what I wanna do/be eventually. However a field that I've been somewhat interested in for a long time has been architecture. Back in tenth grade when we did projects about what we wanna be I made mine about that. Then for a long time I didn't think that much of becoming that, but in senior year in high school we were at this education messe where I where at a lecture about architecture and that kind of got me thinking of that again. Also a couple of series and movies has had influence, such as Ted Mosby who's an architect in How I Met Your Mother. Anyway this were the different educations that I considered:

Architect School (Århus)
Engineer in Architecture and Design (Ålborg)
Landscape architecture
Movie- and Media Science (Copenhagen)
Media Science (Århus/Odense)
Digital Design - IT esthetics and Interaction (Århus)

However with most of these there were some problems. For Architect school I would need a much highter grade or go to some entrance examination which I didn't get around to. For Engineer in Architecture and Design aswell as Landscape architecture I needed two subjects (chemistry and physics) which I didn't have time to take before september when I found that out. As for Movie- and Media Science aswell as Media Science I also needed a higher grade unless I wanted to go to Odense, and on second thought I figured out that it wasn't really what I wanted to do. Digital Design however was the only one I could get directly into.

So eventually the decision I made was to choose Architect school as first priority and Digital Design as second, well knowing that I would be very lucky to get into Architect School. Digital Design is starting it's only second year this year, so it hard to say what it really is, so I thought I could just try it, and if after half a year I hated it, I would still have time to take the nessecary courses to get into Engineer in Architecture and Design.

Some time during this period I discovered the band Paramore. They played in Copenhagen in June so I took a quick decision to go see them. On the day of the concert I took the train to copenhagen where I'd booked a room in a hotel and took the train back the next day. As previously mentioned Avril Lavigne also played in Copenhagen in June, which I'd bought ticket for already in January. For that concert I borrowed my mothers car and drove there at the day at the concert and took home the same night. Both concerts were pretty awesome, especially Avril Lavigne =)

In July I was on vacation with my family and my fathers sister and her family to Corsica for two weeks. Hot weather, bathing, watching the nature, eating were some of the highlights.

July 31st I got accepted on Digital Design. So August went with finding an apartment and moving. Pictures here. On August 25th I started on the university but more about that in another post.

I really missed you this year special award
A new special award that won't have any nominees, but will be given to those, if any, shows that were cancelled a season ago and that I really missed this year.

March 18 Hamburg/Denmark

2008-09-02T21:25:00.002+02:00

After waking up and checking out of my hotel room I took the metro to the train station. I still had some time before the train departed so I found a logage box for my bag so I could walk around a bit without having to carry that with me. I found a pizza place at the station for lunch. Other than that I spent the time walking around a bit in the city and looking at the shops at the station.

Changed trains in Padburg and Fredericia and was in Århus in the evening where my parents, my sister and a friend of hers were to pick me up. As they hadn't gotten any dinner either we found some highway eating place to eat at.

After that it was straight home <3

March 17 Nightwish

2008-07-31T12:28:00.003+02:00

Before the concert I didn't felt like doing much so I watched a little TV in my room, some Paris-Nice and some A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. After looking some at my Hamburg map I decided on which metro station to go to for the concert, there weren't any really close, but it wasn't too bad. Color Line Area where the concert took place were quite big, only bigger one I was at were The o2 arena.

Cool concert with fire and everything. A lot of leather wearing and goth kind of people there.

After the concert I walked back to the metro station, but nothing was written on the monitors, so I was a little afraid I couldn't get home, but as there were a lot of other people waiting aswell I guess there might come one. There did, it just didn't show on the screen untill five minutes before. Had to change metro at the hauptbaunhof where I went by McD for a McChicken meal, waiting in a long queue first. When I took the metro back to my hostel I was totally alone in my waggon. Back at the hostel I tried opening the door with the key I'd gotten but couldn't. There were two doors so tried both but nothing worked and started getting worried. However I kept trying and eventually it opened and I was quite reliefed. Quite a mongo lock though. Then I could eat my McChicken in my room.

March 16 Lille/Hamburg

From the hotel back to the train station with the metro and finding my train to Hamburg. Once in Hamburg I once again had to figure out a new metro system. But I managed, maybe even legally. My hostel was in the St. Pauli area, but even though I arrived there in the evening there wasn't any hookers or mafia, only a couple of homeless people, atleast in the area I were.

From this day and on I didn't get any notes written so I might not remember everything, as for food I might have bought a bic mac meal at the train station which I brought to the hostel.

March 15 Manchester/Lille

2008-07-09T22:37:00.002+02:00

After getting breakfast at the hotel I walked to the train station to take the train to London. The area around the train station in London I knew well from when I'd stayed there so I went to the nearby McDonalds for dinner. Afterwards there were still some time before the Eurostar to Lille that I'd booked departed, so I waited around in the train station for some time before checking in. Would have to say it's quite a sucky train station to wait in, as there's almost no benches, as well as no litter boxes.

While waiting in the Eurostart waiting area after checking in, this really hot girl sat in front of me. So I took a couple of paprazzi pictures of her with my mobile :P. See them here: 1 2 3 4

The Eurostart train was soon in Lille. At the station I bought a map of Lille to find my hotel. I took the metro to the nearest station and walked the rest of the way to the hotel. This hotel was one of the more expensive ones, so also quite nice, and a big room which also had a bath tub which I used that evening.

March 14 Dinosaurs and Mommies

2008-07-01T17:12:00.002+02:00

As the first thing that day I went to an IMAX cinema to see if anything interesting was playing. There weren't really any IMAX stuff, expect an Hannah Montana concert, but there were some interesting movies, thought not untill later on the day. So I went to the Manchester Museum instead which also was placed in the Manchester University campus (like the concert place). It was free to get in and they had some really cool stuff, such as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, around 5-8 mommies and a lot of stuffed animals.

When I was done in the museum I went back to the IMAX cinema and saw Semi Pro. The cinema was quite close the Arndale so I went in there afterwards to get something to eat. However the eating area was closing at that time so I had to find some other place. I found an Subway not far from there, in which I bought an Italian BMT (like on the day of the panic concert) which I eat at the hotel, after stopping by some small supermarket for some drinks.

March 13 Urbis

2008-07-01T17:06:00.002+02:00

After breakfast at the hotel I went to Urbis, which is some exhibition hall. When I found it there were some school class on their way in so I waited a bit with going in, and instead took a look at some surrounding things, such as an old church and a river. Inside Urbis there were an Advertising exhibition and and Manga exhibition which opened that very day, and actually not untill a little while after I arrived.

After seeing that and buying an Manga Clip Art book in the giftshop I went to the Manchester Arndale again. I bought a used version of the Torino 2006 game. After that I didn't felt like doing much more and went back to the hotel where I saw two episodes of The Class, Friends and Scrubs. For dinner I went back to Arndale again and had some at KFC.

March 12 Panic at the Disco

2008-06-23T17:55:00.002+02:00

After eating breakfast at the hotel, which had a nice sortiment compared to the one in Lyon, I went to explore the nearby parts of the city. I came by this huge shopping centre called Manchester Arndale which I walked around in for a while, but didn't buy anything. It also had an eating place on the second floor, consisting of a bunch of fast food chains around in a circle with a large seating area in the middle.

As the time of the concert approched I walked to concert place which was inside the Manchester University Campus. After finding the concert place I searched for somewhere to eat and eventually found a subway which I decided to try out. I got an Italian BMT which was really good.

Then I could go back to the concert place a queue for some time before getting in. I can't remember the name of the warm up band, but after them Panic came on. They didn't play for that long, but atleast played all the songs that I know.

March 11 London/Manchester

2008-06-05T15:19:00.002+02:00

Hadn't made any plans as for which trains to take from London to Manchester as it's not that far and there's a lot of train going there every day. So I went to the train station and found a train that gave me time to also buy an eurostar ticket for when I'm going back from London to Lille. I changed trains in Sheffield where I also had lunch at a Burger King.

When I got to Manchester I first checked out the metro kinda train they had, but it seemed they didn't go near to where I was going. So I took a cab to my hostel. When I got there the placed was locked and there was a note to call this number for hostel inquiries. I called it but the number didn't exists. So there I was in some southern Manchester suburb with no where to sleep. Anyway, I got a cab back to the train station. I recalled there were some hotel booth there but appearently that had been somewhere else. So I started walking around to find a place, and eventually found a place with a decent price, which also luckily had a room for me for those four nights if I changed room after the first night.

For dinner I found a pizza hut and had a Hawaii deep pan with pepperoni. A combination that has lately grown to be my favorite pizza (with or without the deep pan).

March 10 Covent Garden, Leicester Square ect.

2008-06-05T15:08:00.003+02:00

In the afternoon I went back to Covent Garden again, as it had been closed the day before. It weren't all that interesting though. The small shops and such didn't have much stuff I was interested in. And it was raining a bit aswell, so there weren't anything going on outside. I thought about going to see the Lion King musical, but they weren't showing it that day. So after walking around there a bit I went into a nearby HMV store where I bought a couple of DVDs and a CD: The Pursuit of Happyness, Hollywoodland, Will Ferrel Box (Old School and Anchorman) and The Corrs - Live in Dublin.

As advised in the mini metro card I had I went to the Leicester metro station instead of the Covent Garden one, as that one can be a bit crowded. On my way there I came by Leicester Square, which I checked out a bit. It was mostly a lot of cinemas in a circle and a small park in the middle.

March 9 Back to the O2

2008-05-13T11:56:00.002+02:00

As my shaver had partly broken aswell as run out of power and I'd forgotten my reloader I had to find a solution. So I took the metro to the victoria station where I'd been a couple of days before, so I knew there were some shops there. I found some one time shavers and foam. I've never used anything but electric shavers before, so it took some time to get shaved. But I managed to.

I'd read about an egyptian exhibition at the O2 from home, so I went there to check it out. You had to buy a ticket for a certain time limit, I got 15:30 to 16:00 which was two hours from the time I bought it. So I took the metro to the london bridge station to check out the bridge and get something to eat. I never actually found the bridge, and the only place to eat I found was a McD, not nesecary a bad thing though.

However I got back to the O2 again for the exhibition, which despite all the fuss wasn't that special, well atleast not when you've been in actual egypt :).

After the egypt exhibition I saw Vantage Point in the cinema at the O2. Fine movie, rated it a 7/10 though I didn't really like the ending. Bought some sweet popcorn in there, which were totally uneatable.

In the evening I went back to Covent Garden as I didn't really had had that much time to check it out the day before. The market turned out to be closed though, so it was pretty empty. So I found a Pizza Hut to get something to eat and went home.

March 8 LOTR Musical

2008-05-12T20:11:00.002+02:00

I went to the internet cafe again today as the first thing to get tickets for eurostar for when I'm going to Lille and to get tickets for the lord of the rings musical which I'd read about on visitlondon.com at home. I couldn't get the eurostar ticket because of some visa validating shit, but I got a ticket for LOTR, that same night.

In the afternoon I went to see some of the usual tourist attractions. First I went to Westminster to seee the bridge, big ben, house of parliament and all that. Then I went to Tower Bridge and walked a bit around there. While I was there my parents called. I didn't hear it at first but called them back, and we walked a bit.

As it soon was time for the musical I took to covent garden where it was. Where I found the place to collect my ticket. There were still an hour till it started so I walked around a bit and got a hot dog. At covent garden there were a market so there were a lot of people. There were also this guy driving on a one wheeled bike, who also jongled with a motor saw amongst other things, all wearing nothing but his underwear.

The lord of the rings musical was pretty nice. They had some really cool effects, such as the balrog.

March 7 Rihanna

2008-04-22T12:08:00.002+02:00

Around noon I went to the local McDonalds for lunch, after which I went to the internet cafe to check a few things out along with checking my mail and cs-manager ect.

After going back to the hotell and gettting ready I went to the O2 for the rihanna concert. The O2 showed to be a huge place which along with the concert arena also holds a lot of eating places, a cinema, exhibitions and some other tings, all under one roof, or rather one tent. It opened only last year.

There weren't any queue yet at the entrance so I walked a bit around in the O2 to check it out, and as I came back to the concert entry a queue was starting, so I joined it. I came into a huge arena which had seating everywhere even on the ground floor. I had a seat on the left wing in the first row quite close to the scene. I cant remember if it were before or after the warm up act - David Jordan who were fairly decent - that some guy came into the crowd to see the concert and everyone started screaming and taking pictures of him, I guess he was some famous person, but I didn't know him. There were a lot of teenage - and some probably even younger - girls at the concert so there were a lot of high voice screaming. Somewhat annoying at some points. Anyway it was a fine concert, she played a lot of the songs that I know.

I decided to wait around a bit after the concert to avoid the worst crowd in the metro and went to get a hot dog. The first place I went sent me to another place close to as she didn't have anymore sausages. However nor did the other place, but she started making some. While I waited she offered a free soda for the wait and asked about the concert and wether or not I thought she looked better irl than on the pictures, to which I said yes. Then she sent me back to the first place as they had some sausages ready. I eat it and went back to the hotel.

March 6 My foot hurts

2008-04-01T17:24:00.003+02:00

The day before my right foot started hurting a bit. I didn't think more of it, but today I woke up to it being even worse. It hurt everytime I stepped on it. So I decided not to do too much that day, hoping it would get better for tomorrows concert.

For lunch I got a whopper meal on the local burger king. Form there I took the metro to the victoria station to do some shopping and to have a look around. I bought a london map in some souvenir shop. As I walked around a bit I found a shopping centre at the victoria station and looked around for a top part for my shaver which I had broken. I only found some small shops carrying shavers which didn't have what I needed. I came by an internet cafe aswell but decided not to go in as it seemed quite filled up. So I went back to the WHSmith store I'd seen - a store where they have a lot of magazines - to buy a couple of magazines and some drinks. From there I went back to the hostel.

As I got hungry in the evening I went to explore the local area a bit more and found there to be a lot of eating places, some shops and an internet cafe all quite close to my hotel, including a pizza place I went into to get an hawaii deep pan. In a free thelondonpaper I got on the my way back I saw that channel 4 sent and episode of The Big Bang Theory at 10, which I obviously turned in to see.

March 5 Lyon/London

2008-03-30T18:41:00.003+02:00

I checked out of my hotel at 7 in the morning and walked the 3km to the train departing at 8:22. I changed train twice in two smaller cities before reaching Paris. I had to get to another station in Paris, so I took the metro. However I got on a metro driving the different direction of where I was heading. As the previous train had been 25 minutes late, this made me miss my train to Lille. From Lille I was going to use eurostar which are the only company to cross the France/England channel. So I decided to take eurostar from Paris instead, so it wouldn't be too late before I got to London. Eurostar is not part of interrail, so I had to pay even more to use it from Paris instead of Lille.

Anyway, I got London fast that way, and my hotel in London were only some 300 meters next to the train station, so I was soon there. The room there weren't exactly stunishing. The matress sucked, the light were only a single pære hanging from the roof, the only chair was a garden chair, the heat regulator on the radiator didn't work which made it quite hot, the TV had own antenna which resulted in a poor connection, a shower that wasn't working, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for ages.

One happy kopa

2008-03-30T16:41:00.002+02:00

A couple of hours ago I discovered what must be the best news I heard in a very very long time. Scrubs seems to be renewed for an 8th season by ABC (it's on NBC currently). (see article) It has for a long time been the word that it was going to end after this season, and being a huge fan of this show this really makes me happy. I had kinda lost faith that something like this could happen after the millions of great shows being cancelled over the last couple of years.

March 4 Exploring Lyon

2008-03-26T21:31:00.002+01:00

I got up again a little past nine to catch breakfast, and then I slept another hour. Around noon I went out to explore the city a bit. I went the opposite way as the day before and found a pedestrian street with a lot of shops, a few only that seemed interesting though. I walked further and found a lot of bigger and smaller landmarks and got a few pics.

As I got hungry I went into an McD to get a big mac meal. After which it soon started to rain, so I decided to go back to the hotel and see if it would stop.

I did stop, and I went out again to explore the parts around the rhöne river. On the pedestrian street a guy approached me who wanted me to give money for trousers for african kids. I ended up giving him some and got a nice key hanger.

Eventuallly I got hungry and felt like pizza. I saw this one place but it was rather expensive so I went towards my hotel, next to which there also were a pizza place. However it was still closed eventhough it was past 18:00. So I walked around a bit to find another place, but eventually got back to the first place. The pizza was quite different from a pizza from a normal pizza place, good, but I'd prefer an hawaii from a normal pizza place any day. As I walked back I got some pics of the river and surroundings in the nighttime.

March 3 Alicia Keys

2008-03-26T11:03:00.002+01:00

I woke up a little past nine to catch breakfast in the hotel before 10. The bread was rather dry but the hot chocolade was good. I stayed in my room for some hours, still a little tired from the day before and wanted to a lot of energy for the concert in the evening. I spend tthe time reading 'Norwegian Wood', showering and watched an episode of Happy Hour on my cell. The sound was terrible out of sync though, some nab program I used to convert them to 3gp appearently.

I went out sometime in the afternoon to get something to eat and get at the concert early. I went along the river in the direction of Halle Tony Garnier where the concert were. Along the river there weren't any places to eat and it started raining, luckily it soon stopped again. Eventually I got to Halle Tony Garnier and I could see a lot of people waiting outside. Still needing to eat and with almost 3 hours till it started I walked past it as I could see some shops and restaurants in that area. It took some time for me to find a place to eat since some places were still closed, but eventually I found an Ali Baba Kebab that seemed decent, though the kebab was not especially good. Well it was food.

Afterwards I went back to the concert place seeing that the doors had been opened. So I went in eventhough there were still an hour and twenty minutes left. However as I got in I found that there were already a DJ warming up. Eventhough I had a seating ticket I decided to stand as I could get much closer that way. The DJ played some bad hiphop, however the warm up act Dumaine Paul (spelling) was decent.

Alicia Keys put up a nice show and I enjoyed it quite a lot eventhough there's many of her not so known songs that I'm not that much into. However as second last she played 'No One' and it went crazy, a couple of thousand people who really really loves that song singing along, that was amazing.

As I walked home along the river it was a nice sight in the dark, sadly my camera ran out of power.

March 2 Denmark/Lyon

2008-03-21T11:22:00.002+01:00

The night before as I was home alone, I did the past preperations for the trip such as packing my bag. Other than that I spend the night watching Zulu Awards, a couple of Scrubs episodes and eating popcorn and ice cream.

As for this day, there really isn't much to say. The whole day spent sitting in a train. The day started at 3:0 in the morning when my dad drove me to the train in Kolding, which departed at 6:40. From there to Padborg to Hamburg to Basel to Geneva to Lyon at 21:47. The train from Hamburg to Basel at one time was delayed and I started getting a little worried as I only had 8 minutes to do the transfer in Basel. However it luckily caught up on the lost minutes just before reaching Basel.

Somewhat frustrating it is sitting in a train when you don't understand a word of what everyone says. There were two swedish poeple next to me in the Basel-Geneva train. Eventhough I didn't talk to them, it was nice to hear something I could actually understand some of. In the Geneva-Lyon two frenchmen asked me something, but obviously I could only answer that I didn't understand them. Should be nice getting to england.

And dame it's a long time since I've written this much in hand. I found this nice pen I'd forgotten I had just before the trip, quite a pleasure to write with it was.

The Spectacular return of Kopaka

2008-03-19T13:41:00.003+01:00

So I have returned, from the dark streets of Hamburg. I came home last night a little past ten, but much more about that later. Pictures are beeing uploaded to my gallery as I type, and I've handwritten a lot about the happenings these past 17 days, so be ready for a lot of entries!

Edit: You can see the pictures now on sshoyer.net/gallery/travelling/eurotrip

My Eurotrip

2008-02-21T18:15:00.003+01:00

As previously mentioned I'm going on a small trip in march, so that's pretty soon. By now I've pretty much planned everything out. The main goal of the trip is to exprience some concerts with some nice bands and artists, and it has been planned around that. At one point I had ordered tickets for six concerts, but then in one day two of them cancelled their tours (Natasha Bedingfield and Sophie Ellis-Bextor) and a few days before I found out that I didn't get the ticket anyway that I'd ordered for Kelly Clarkson. However I managed to find a ticket for Kelly Clarkson on some other website, though more expensive, and I found one more concert.

Here's a schedule of my trip:

March 1: Leave from Denmark
2: Lyon
3: Alicia Keys at Lyon
4: Lyon
5: Lyon -> London
6: London
7: Rihanna at London
8: London
9: London
10: London
11: London -> Manchester
12: Panic! at the disco at Manchester
13: Manchester
14: Kelly Clarkson at Manchester
15: Manchester
16: Manchester -> Hamburg
17: Nightwish at Hamburg
18: Hamburg -> Denmark

As transportation I've ordered an interrail ticket. Today I bought 100€ and 100£. I've booked hostels in all the cities where I'll be. So I'm quite ready by now.

My gallery

2008-02-19T22:33:00.002+01:00

I don't think I've mentioned this, but a while ago I bought a webhotel at dreamhost.com, mainly to get more discspace. They offer 500gb, a bit more than my old, where I have 500mb. It costs a lot more obviously, but not too much. Anyway I ordred a new domain along with it aswell, as I haven't moved kopasite there yet, because I still have some time untill it expires on e-studio.dk. Beside more space they also offer a lot of great things, such a posibility to make unlimited databases instead of having everything in one.

The domain I ordered was sshoyer.net, which I'm going to use as a portal for all my minor sites such as my movie reviews and this blog. It is more of less finished now, as I a few days ago managed to get some parsing working with php so that the newest blog post is on the frontpage of sshoyer.net.

A new page I've made recently is a gallery using the Gallery software. I've sorted most of my digital pictures and put the good ones on the gallery, which now has 752 pictures in 8 catagories.

Two XP reinstalls later..

2008-02-16T23:14:00.003+01:00

In my eternal pursuit to reduce the noise level from my computer I ordered two sets of Harddisc stabilizer things along with a MicroSD card I needed. I bought a new soundcard aswell while I was at it, a Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio for PCI-express, but that's a whole different story. Tuesday I recieved it and opened up my computer to put it into use. That went without much trouble, except from getting one of the harddrives out of the old boxes I had them in to prevent noise aswell. I replaced these since they were ugly and caused the harddrive to become too hot.

As I booted up the computer again I got a System boot error, which I gotten before so I knew it had probably something to do with the cables not being attached properly. (I learned later that day it's because which SATA connector you attach them to on the motherboard decides which is master and slave.) When I switched them around I got another error however, some .dll file in windows missing. I tried getting the .dll from my fathers computer, but that didn't help, so I had to do an XP reinstall. Last time I did so I'd made a small partition for windows, so I didn't have much files to backup, which I did by attaching the harddrive to my dads computer.

Some nabness in windows installation caused some some trouble when XP was back up. It had made another drive than the windows drive C: and system drive. So the boot information and such were not on the windows drive. But it worked fine so what the fuck.

A day or two later the computer suddenly freezes totally and go blue screen, and it happens again and again. I soon narrows the error down to my oldest harddrive, a maxtor 160gb. The one that is C: but not windows drive. I couldn't access any files on it without the computer freezing. Couldn't run any CHKDSK or anything on it either. I tried getting a trial membership on experts-exchange.com to get some help. Didn't get much valuable help, but one suggest reinstalling windows, which I do after plugging out the cable to the faulty harddrive so it doesn't make that C: and system disc again.

And that is when magic happens. When I plug it in again after the second XP reinstall in five days there's no more freezing or blue screen \o/ CHKDSK however finds some errors and fixes.

Oh the freedom

2008-02-03T12:52:00.000+01:00

Last wednesday was my last day in the civil defence. Usually I go home in the evening but I decided to stay there tuesday evening, which turned out to be a good decision. A few guys from my platoon bought five cases of beers, which we started drinking around 20:00. Shortly before midnight there were no more beers and this one guy who wasn't drinking went to get another two cases. Even later when those were consumed aswell two guys went to the cafeteria, to which there were an unlocked door, an stole a case of beers. I went to bed a little past two, having to get up again next day at seven.

The last day consisted of cleaning our rooms, getting some papers and a few goodbye words from the officers.

2008-01-28T17:55:00.000+01:00

The day after tomorrow is the last day of my military service. Both good and bad things about that. Some of it was pretty exciting and I got some good friends there so I'm gonna miss that. But on the other hand I'm gonna enjoy no more long days and 24hour days and weekend work ect.

The next month I'm gonna do nothing and on march 1. I'll be leaving to travel around a bit in europe as previously mentioned. A lot has happened regarding that, but I'll safe that for another post.

Movie

Transformers

Runner ups:
Clerks II
El Laberinto del Fauno
Letters from Iwo Jima

TV Show

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

Runner ups:
The Class
Gossip Girl
How I Met Your Mother
Scrubs
Friday Night Lights

Comment: Beside an awesome cast (Matthew Perry!) this show just really hit it for me. I found the whole plot really interesting. Sadly it was cancelled already after it's first season, a great loss for TV.

Song

Hilary Duff - Never Stop

Runner ups:
Avril Lavigne - Hot
Mandy Moore - Can't You Just Adore Her?
Andrea Corr - Champagne From A Straw
Alicia Keys - No One

Comment: For more than half a year I've been completely sure which song would win this catagory. Very unlike the last two years, where this catagory was really hard to decide. Don't get me wrong, the other songs are really good too, it's been a good year for music, but Never Stop is just awesome. Simply can't sit still when listening to it, and it got such a simple yet beautiful message. Might be the second best song ever.

Music

Mandy Moore

Runner ups:
Hilary Duff
Avril Lavigne
Britney Spears
Natasha Bedingfield

Comment: Bought her best of in the begginning of the year which has a lot of great songs, such as her songs from A Walk To Remember which has an awesome soundtrack. And her new album Wild Hope from the spring was really beautiful.

Hottie

Kristen Bell

Runner ups:
Avril Lavigne
Hayden Panettiere
Britney Spears
Hilary Duff

Comment: I saw Veronica Mars over the summer and ever since I've been completely in love with her. Which by the way also was awesome, too bad it's cancelled too.

Runner ups:
February 22. - Most snow in almost a decade
June 30. - Graduation party

Comment: It's been the only alarm I've been on so far. Beside that it was exciting to drive with blue lights blinking (and with max 50km/h) it was somewhat of a kick to be there, thought not much happened. I think I haven't written a post about, I'll try to do that.

Christmas

2007-12-29T21:26:00.000+01:00

So this christmas was somewhat a historic one for me. That is if I choose to use a big word about what many would see as a small thing, but I like christmas eve so lets leave it at that, historic. For the first time did my family spend time with my fathers sister and her family. It has for as long as I can remember always been a tradition that we spend christmas day with them, where we also dance around the christmas tree and get presents. However due to how things have changed we decided to do it like this, this year.

For dinner we had both roast pork, duck and goose. So as you might guess, there were plenty, and it was good. Though I missed my grandmothers meatballs. The rest of the evening was pretty much like every other christmas eve, after dinner dancing around the tree and getting presents. We were nine people, which equals a lot of present, and we were done with those around midnight, then random talking for some time. I think we were home around 2.

Christmas day we made a small visit at my grandparents for afternoon coffee, and some christmas lunch just the five of us at home for dinner in the evening. At nine I met with some of my friends from school for some partying, most of which I haven't seen the last six months. That was really nice except for the fact that I didn't drink, as I had to be at the civil defence next morning at 7:35 and drove up there during the night just after the party.

First day at the civil defence was spent catching up on some sleep and watching Harry Potter 3, 4 and 5. Next day we had to do a little work. I washed a firetruck and helped carrying some tubes. Rest of the day was spent on some random TV, inet and such.

Not much left to say about my christmas but the ultimate question: What did I get for christmas?

Real Wall Clock
Travelling adaptor
300 DKr
Ekspert voucher for 250 DKr
2gb MiniSD card
KAOS shampoo
Need For Speed Pro Street
Travelling kit including: Pocket towel, soap, toothbrush, padlock, travelling adaptor

Avril La -FUCKING- vigne

2007-12-20T21:28:00.000+01:00

Okay the last post was pretty angry, so I would just like that say that being in the civil defence is not all that bad, I've actually come to like it pretty well. Lovable co-conscripts, fun drills ect. Though no real fires ect. ever happens. One day left and I have christmas holiday, that's awesome anyway though :) and I'll be done on 30th January.

Lately I've been thinking about what I wanna do when I finish, and I've come up with a plan for the next half year more of less. No actual plan, but like mainly what I'd like to do, and then we'll see if it will happen.

Some evening when I was watching a few music videos I got the idea that I could travel around a bit to some concerts. Practically none of the artist that I listen to have I ever seen live, so now would be the time to do it. So I plan to get an interrail ticket (train ticket with which you can travel around as much you want in europe for x days) and then find some concerts. So far I've found a handfull or so artist that are touring in europe in the spring that I'd like to see, and just earlier today I started laying out a more detailed plan of which I'm going to when and where.

Those I have in mind are:

Nightwish
Natasha Bedingfield
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Alicia Keys
Kelly Clarkson
Sugababes
Nelly Furtado
Stacie Orrico

These are all touring in europe around February - March - April. So the plan might to do some of these in the spring and then see if any interesting are touring in the summer and take another trip then.

Somewhere in the middle of this planning I got an email from the Avril Lavigne fanclub saying that she would extend her american tour to also include europe, somewhere around June. Her being propably between my 3 favourite artist that was something I could not miss, so as the ticketsale started at 10.00 I went to the computer room in the lunch break and bought a ticket for the copenhagen concert, on June 26. Then time must tell if that'll be the only concert in the summer of if I find some others aswell.

One mad mad kopa

2007-10-28T22:15:00.000+01:00

My whole childhood I've always wanted some radio controlled (RC) car that could run fast. I've had a few small ones but they've been really slow and boring. So one day a little while ago as I was surfing QXL.dk I remembered I had once bid on an RC car there. So I did some searching and found there to be some interesting ones there. So I bought one that uses nitro fuel (new, from some store that sells on QXL) and got it last thursday. Friday I got fuel for it. But that's where the fun stopped...

I haven't been able to get it started yet, and have been used quite some hours during the weekend, and now the pull starter is stuck. AREGGRAGJH it's so frustating buying something and looking forward to using it but can't because it's fucking hard to make it work. Besides this I'm getting pretty tired of the civil defence. Long days and having to stay there some evenings and weekends and shit. However sundays are the worst, I'm always like "now there's 10 hours left of weekend", "now there's 4 hours left" ect. ect. fuck I hate it.

As you might guess I haven't been in the best mood today. It helped a bit by rewatching A lot like love just now though.

Not that I have anything to write about..

2007-10-07T19:50:00.000+02:00

..but I have nothing else to do while waiting for Cashback, the short movie, to load at video.google.com. Saw the full movie a while ago and loved it. Anyway, I haven't done that much this weekend. Mostly watched series, as I haven't had that much time to watch them during the week so had a lot to catch up on.

Next week will have a lot going on. I have guard (right word? thing where I have to stay barracks to be ready if a fire starts) tuesday, some drill wednesday that takes all day, some smoke diving drill as far as I know, and then I have guard again next weekend, so have to stay there the whole weekend :I Good thing is I might get around to start reading one the books I bought then.

Weekends are too short aren't they? :) Oh how I look forward to the end of this month when I start having every friday off, and will have so the rest of the time in the civil defence.

Ten feet high

2007-09-30T18:43:00.000+02:00

I made a very nice discovery friday. Something that somehow haven't come to my attention untill just now. Andrea Corr has this summer released a solo album. Being a huge The Corrs fan (of which she's the lead singer) this would be a major event for me, and something I would pre order weeks ahead if I had known. Anyway I've ofcourse ordered it now. As I'm ordering from CD-wow it will take some days before it arrives, damn I can't wait.

Along with Ten Feet High (the Andrea Corr album) I ordered two other CD's. Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival, which I've decided that I want after hearing their second single, and Kelly Clarkson - My December. I have only heard the first sinlge of Kelly Clarkson, which I didn't like too much, not bad either at all, but her previous album was really nice, so I'm taking a leap of faith that this will be aswell.

Normandy (part 2)

2007-09-28T18:05:00.001+02:00

Tuesday 10 July
Today it rained a lot, but eventhough we decided to drive to Omaha Beach. Luckily enough the rained stopped as we came closer to the sea. Had been looking forward to see Omaha Beach, but well, it's just a beach and a few bunkers. Around where we were there were two bunkers and a memorial sign for the 5th Engineer Troop. But now I can say I've pied on Omaha Beach ;-). After this we drove to the american graveyard. Quite big it was. Not just many graves, but also a huge entrance portal ect. Everything there were just big. Something I found interesting there was the gravestones for those who they didn't know who were, they said: Here rest in honoured peace, a comrade in arms, known but to god. Also I could reconize the pathways from Saving Private Brian (if I'm not totally mistaken).

Then we checked out another part of the beach, which had a huge memorial sculpture. Tried to find a certain museum that seemed good, but we didn't manage to find it. So we gave up and started to drive home, but after driving a few minutes we came by it, and went in. It was mildly interesting, had a lot of stuff from the war. Guns and whatever. That was the end of the day. I had really been looking forward to seing all the D-day things, but when it comes down to it, it isn't really that interesting to see. A beach is a beach.

Wednesday 11 July
Wednesday we got up rather early to get as much out of the day as possible. We drove to Giverny, which was some 1-2 hour drive. This is where Monet's garden is located (that painter you if you don't know). The garden is divided into two parts, one on each side of the road with a tunnel between them. The first part was pretty boring. Many of the flower was something you can see in Denmark aswell and many wasn't flowering. Didn't look more beautiful than our vegetable garden. The second part however was much nicer, with a large lake with bridges, bamboos and other larger trees/bushes ect. Quite nice.

From there we drove to Rouen, a rather large city. Here we looked at some shops, none of them really interesting though. Was on a café and saw three large churches, one of them being some Jeanne d'arc memorial church, placed right next to where she was burned. This was a quite new church, and really nice designed. As we walked around I got quite hungry and found a place I could buy a pizza, which I bought from a quite cute pizza lady <3 At this I also had to pee, but what a sucky city with no restrooms :I I still hadn't found a place to do so when we started looking for some place to eat dinner, which we did for some time. Everywhere they had only french menu cards, and none of us can much french, so we never found a place in Rouen to eat. So we started driving home and found some place on the highway to eat. We came by a quite nice restaurant actually ( where I could finally pee ;) ). Then we drove home, and in the evening I did a little phone IRC.

First step

2007-09-15T20:06:00.000+02:00

Over the past year or so I've developed a new possible "dream job", screenplay writer. I've had a few ideas for possible movies or TV series, but never done anything about it. So I thought now was the time. I start by ordering a few books about writing screenplays so I can get some insight into how you write them ect. This lead to an amazon order just a few minutes ago, ordering the following books:

So as you can see I bought three books about screenplay writing. The Notebook and A Walk to Remember are Nicholas Sparks novels, both of which I've seen the movie, and totally loved (both are in my top 10 favourites). I think I've decided I want to see the movies of his novels before reading the books, but then the question is which are going to be made into a movie and which are not so I can just read them. But I'll start with these two anyway. The last, Norwegian Wood, was recommended by skint0r and looked interesting so I'm trying it out.

It turned out to be a quite expensive order (72£) but I earn quite a lot at the moment, so what the heck. I'm quite annoyed of amazon showing the prizes without VAT though. :I

Saving the ferry

2007-09-15T18:40:00.000+02:00

So this danish ferry sailed into a pier in Hirtshals, a city on the northwestern danish coast. So the danish civil defence (which I'm a part of at the moment) had to go help it out. The collolision with the pier had caused a lot of holes in the ferry, which also led to some oil waste. There's at all times 14 people ready on the barracks to set out if something happens, fire or whatever. The alarms rang sometime the night between Monday and Tuesday, and they took up there to help out.

It was quite a big job so the people up there had to be replaced, which meant that I and 19 others took up there Wednesday at noon. First thing we did when we got up there was eating our lunch and waiting some time. Then we were told to get ready in the right clothes for action. After changing we were divided into two groups, which would do shifts, so there were time to rest aswell. I was on the team that starting with resting. So this meant that before I even started doing anything I had also eating dinner (which were by the way the worst french fries I've ever tasted), and the clock as 18.

First thing I did was carrying a small pump into the ship. Before I had a change to carry anymore stuff into the ferry the diver required some help, so me and another one helped him getting a big plate under the ship so patch one of the holes. Max felt I did important job there 8). After this was done I came over to those taking the oil out of the water. There wasn't much to do there though, except holding a rope and changing position of the machine doing the job every once in a while. I was there untill 1:30 in the night when we were told we could go to sleep except one or two to watch the machine.

I don't really know how long I slept but slept untill breakfast (rundstykker). At this time there wasn't that much to do. I was at the oil place again, and did some minor stuff. This went on untill around 10-11 o'clock, when we started pack up some of our stuff so there were room for some boat which was going in the water at 15:00. When we were done making space for it a new group of people came to replace us, so we could come home. Just before going home we had some lunch aswell.

Normandy (part 1)

2007-09-02T17:11:00.000+02:00

Saturday 7 July
As previously mentioned I went on vacation to Normandy with my family this summer. Lineup included my mom, dad, sister and myself. We've rented a small cottage in a small town some 20 km from the coast. We started driving down there saturday 7 july at 0:01. I drove the car some thwo hours in the beginning after which I did some sleeping in the car while my father drove.

We drove through Germany, Holland and Belgium. One thing that struck me was how these countries have such stoneage fuelstations. Like no one had credit card payment. Pretty lame having to go into the shop to pay, while your car still stands at the fuelstation making the ones behind you wait even longer.

Anyway, we arrived at our cottage around 17:00 where we met the owner who showed us around in the house. After this we went for a little walk around the area, had something to eat and played a little "vikinggame" and some other random stuff untill we went to sleep. The house didn't exactly have the best power supply. As I lied in my bed with the bedlamp on reading some magazine the lamp suddenly turned up the volume. Which we figured was because someone else turned off their's.

Sunday 8 July
In this small city called Pont L'eveque which was some 2 km next to our house there was a marked sunday in the late morning. It was a rather small marked, most of the stands sold some kind of food. All the people standing in the stands were wearing middleage clothes, and there were also some people dancing and such. So there were a nice atmosphere. Nicest thing though was this one girl in one of the stands, pretty cute. It rained while we were there so we weren't there for long, not that there were that much stuff interesting anyway.

In the afternoon we went to bayeux where there is this sown tapestry of the 1066 Norman invasion of England. 50cm width and 70 meters long. Quite nice. To our surprise there were some middleage marked in this city aswell when we were there. So we walked around a bit to check it out. Before we went back to our house me and my sister had a pizza, while my parents had something to drink. Who cares about famous french food when you can get a pizza. <3

Monday 9 July
Monday morning we slept kind of long. I don't know why that's interesting but I wrote that in my notes, so now you know. Today we wanted to see some of the cities along the beach. The first one I saw was Deauville, which is known for a nice beach and many rich people. This turned out to be probably the best thing on the entire trip. Deauville was just such a beautiful city, with the beach, parks and big, nice houses, casinos and such. An amazing sight. If (read: when) I ever get rich and wanna buy some big house on the beach, this will be where I'll buy it.

We walked a little along the beach and went for ice creams. I tried out an Magnum Coco, which was quite nice. Afterwards we drove into downtown city and walked a bit around there to look at the city and a few shops. A beautiful city here aswell. Here we saw both female police on horses and male police on bikes.

When done in Deauville we drove along the beach to the city next to called Honflour. We walked a bit around here aswell, and finally found somewhere to eat, in a restaurant called Le Cursaire. Nice food, but bad seatings. First dinner was some "seaplate". This consisted of all kinds of snails, mussels, oysters ect. Didn't quite look nice at first, but all the things that I dared to eat (which was most of it) tasted rather well.

Grill

2007-08-27T19:20:00.000+02:00

As I saw we were going to have some meat for dinner that fitted well for grill I asked my mom if we could grill it, and see agreed. So I started up the grill some hour ago. I've now putted the meat in bbq sauce and some sausages on it, which should be ready soon. So I'll leave again, see you next time.

Last night of freedom

2007-07-31T23:46:00.000+02:00

Or something like that. Tomorrow I start serving the country. As told before I'm not going to normal military service, but this thing where you learn to be a fireman and such, which is according to ordbogen.com called the Danish Emergency Management Agency in english.

Let's hope it will be fun!

Oh My Fucking God

2007-07-30T16:38:00.000+02:00

..and that is what I have to say about that.

Okay a little more details. If you haven't been following the Tour De France this is what has happened: Dane Michael Rasmussen was leading with 4 stages left and seemed a sure winner. However his team Rabobank fired him and took him out of the Tour because he might have lied about where he was in June (they have to report where they are at all times so they can be checked for doping).

I first read about this when someone posted a link to l'equipe's website in IRC sometime short past 23:00 that evening. At first me and Zerox agreed that it couldn't be true as Rabobank had been very supportive of him in the case so far. But as the next hour went by more and more websites made news about it and I had to realise it was true. Danish TV2 even made a special TV News program about it. As a big cycling and Tour De France fan this made me very sad, and I can't even start to imagine how he himself must be feeling.

It would have been something completely different he it had been tested positive for doping, but he hasn't, he has 17 negative doping test from this year's Tour De France alone. The whole thing is just really fucked up. The International cycling union UCI says there's no reason he should be taken out of the Tour. Rabobank boss Theo de Roij was presured by the Tour De France management ASO to take him out, who for some fucked up reason doesn't like him. It's based on one attention-whore who says he saw him in Italy when he should be in Mexico and the extensive hunting for scoops by the press. You get the feeling that many people in organisations like ASO and danish DCU really hate cyclists, and that sport journalists are failed sportsmen who couldn't make it themselves and then need to get their anger out by suspecting those he did succed for doping and shit. Why can't they just focus on the sport itself instead of constantly trying to find someone they can suspect of something? This one danish newspaper said after this episode that they would stop writing about Tour De France and focus about doping. Which is propably the stupiest thing I've ever heard.

ARGH It just makes me so angry!!!

To me Michael Rasmussen will always be the moral winner of this Tour De France. As a danish comentator said: It was the second best who won.

On a side note this thing also costed me 470 euro as I'd betted on Michael Rasmussen to win the Tour and would have won that.

New Phone

2007-07-28T12:07:00.000+02:00

After five years of loyal service I decided to let my old Nokia 3310 free on the eternal mobile networks.

I bought a new one around the end of june, through my phone company Telmore, so that I could still use the same number. They have these offers where you can buy a phone for 27€ and then I have to use atleast 27€ each month for the next six months. So practically it costed 188€ and with free SMS/calls/GPRS (as I never use even near 27€ a month). Though I might start using some more since it has gprs which I didn't have before. Anyway, it's a Nokia 6131. I had no special need for a new phone, but I just wanted to try some of all the new features available such as gprs. Also I wanted a phone which you can fold up. It has pretty much all features there is except 3g ones. It has a 1.3 mp camera, I don't really care much for that though, that just happened to be in the phone I wanted. I guess it's pretty hard to find any without camera nowadays.

Graduation parties

2007-07-24T17:18:00.000+02:00

At the day of my last exam we had a small gathering for family and some friends from the neighborhood. What happened was basically me getting some presents, eating and talking. I got an alphabeat CD, dynamo label thing (exhanged in the shop for money), office chair, money and some stuff for when I'm moving to own place.

The next weekend we did this thing which is tradition for graduates to do in Denmark. Driving around to everyone in the class and getting a little to eat each place ect. We started friday morning in horse wagon driving around to those living close to the city of the school. It rained much of the time but that didn't mattered too much as there were good mood and such. At some time in the afternoon we changed to a bus in order to get around to some of those living the furthest away. The party mood kinda dumped at this point, either because of the warm bus and no need to jump around to keep warm of because of tiredness. Maybe both I guess. Anyway we ended somewhere getting dinner and drinking, talking, partying ect. untill around midnight when some went into the city, I went home.

The next day we had to meet in school at 8:00 in order to get class pictures taken before the thing where we get our examination certificates. This whole ceremony was boring at some times, but there were also some interesting stuff, such as the speech by my IT teacher and by one of the students. Anyway, I got my certificate, said hello to my parents and brother and sister, and then it was time to continue where we left off last night. This time in a truck, driving around to those living medium far away from the school, including me. It rained at first but soon stopped and it was quite a sunny day. A great and funny day with a good mood all the way through. We ended at this guy from my class called Happy for lumpsters and partying. Including card drinking games, beer drinking games and such. At some time past midnight we went into the city. One of the better evenings of that kind. Besides those from my class there was a lot of other people I knew, and at this dicoteque called Buddy Holly there was a stripper.

All in all two extremely great days. <3

Last exams and results

2007-07-16T22:36:00.000+02:00

After spanish exam I had the IT exam. The IT exam is a presentation of a large induvidual project we've made duing the school year. Should be about some kind of graphical user interface, and everyone made a website. You can see mine on kopaka.dk/joomla. Anyway, the presentation went pretty well and I got a 10 for presentation, and an 11 for the written project.

The results of the written exams are put up a dashboard on the school, I went there some day to check it out. Quite disapointing though. 8 in danish, which was fine. 8 in math in which I usually get around 10. ;( And 6 in spanish, quite disapointing aswell, eventhough I normally get around 7 I expected a lot more than 6.

The last exam was law. There were two different subject in my exam, the first one went pretty well, but in the second one I mixed some stuff up and got a 7.

Overall I got an average of 8.2. This also includes the grades you get for what you do during the lessons. I'm not quite satisfied with this. My goal was to get 9. Or atleast 8.7 so I get 9 including the bonus I get for having three subjects on A niveau. I don't know yet if this really matters for me though. Your grade doesn't really matter unless you wanna go to some popular education, which there has a high grade requirement.

Au Revoir

2007-07-06T21:56:00.000+02:00

I'm especially looking forward to seeing Omaha beach and such. I also got a new phone. So except a lot of updates in a week or so. Will try to take notes this time, so I can remember what happened.

Spanish exam

2007-06-17T13:30:00.000+02:00

I had my spanish exam this friday. The exam consisted of 3 parts. First one a presentation of an optional subject, but related to Spain somehow. I had choosen War of the Pacific. Secondly un unknown text and thirdly two questions to a known text. The presentation went pretty well, I had went through it many times at home, so I could do it without looking much at my cue-cards. Which seems to be one of my strengths, at both this and the danish exam they said I was good at not looking too much at my notes. The two other parts didn't went so well I thought, was kinda hard to remember the words I wanted to use. Anyway it couldn't have gone totally bad, as I got a 9.

Saving the best for last

2007-06-14T19:13:00.000+02:00

Had my oral danish exam this tuesday. I wasn't happy for getting this exam (you don't have exam in all subjects) as it's the subject where I get the lowest grade, for oral that is. I had before this been at four oral danish exams, from 9th grade till now, and in average I haven't passed.

Quick introduction to danish grade system:
Possible grades: 00 - 03 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 13
You need 6 to pass and 11 correspond to the english/american A, and 13 is zweq in internals.

In marks for the year's work I somehow got a 7 though. Anyway back to this exam. It's 1 hour preperation and 25 minutes exam. I draw two folksongs from the middle ages. The middle ages was propably my prefered catagory, though I on beforehand had prefered a fairytale. However it went pretty well and I got a 8. Went home with quite a relief.

So to say I saved the best for last, as this is my best grade in danish oral ever. And now I will never have that subject ever again. \o/

hot in here

2007-06-10T14:29:00.000+02:00

I have over the last few days consumed maybe a hundred litres of water. It's so damn hot. I've since the last exam not been doing much apart from reading for the next exams. Not that I've done that 24/7, but I haven't done much serious stuff other than that. I've been watching a lot of Scrubs. It's still really good the second time around. After finishing that I'll catch up with some shows which I haven't seen yet.

On the fourth Alias season 5 was released in denmark (on that page where I bought it atleast). Have been waiting for that day for while. I ordered a few other DVDs aswell:
Office Space
Das leben der Anderen
Planet of the Apes Collection (5 movies)
and Alias The Video Game, which they luckily had.

When I got the DVDs I wanted to update my DVDprofiler but it turns out they had released a new version in which you can only use all the features if you have less than 50 DVDs or pay 30$. I have over 50 dvds, so that means I can add them, but the new ones won't be added to the online profile. So that sucks. Hopefully I can find some other good program like it, do you know any?

Oh ye, and if the rest of you elma bloggers read this, make some new posts dammit, I wan't to have something to read =).

First three exams

2007-06-05T12:41:00.000+02:00

During last week and the week before I had my three first exams, they were all written exams. Danish, Math and Spanish. In the danish exams I wrote an argumentation analysis of an article about cycling and doping. For math there was pretty many exercises, but I managed to make them all in time except one which I didn't knew how to make. Spanish was some text about child labour, for which there were some questions, a translation and an exercise where I had to write a letter. All in all I think they all went fairly ok.

There's still some time till the next exam, which is the 12. The four exams left are all oral. Next one is danish, but I've been reading for the spanish the last few days, as the two next exams are coming quite close after (15. and 18.). The last exam though isn't untill the 27. Beside danish, it's IT, spanish and law.

But daaaame it's boring to read for exams ;(

Home Alone

2007-05-06T13:27:00.000+02:00

From tuesday afternoon till thursday afternoon I was home alone, as my sister sleeps on the school and my parents were in copenhagen. This meant good food, movies with max voice volume and walking around naked. Okay maybe not the last thing..

Saw Night at the Museum, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. The two war movies was nice with max voice volume :P

Tuesday evening I made pommes frites and sausages, and wednesday evening I bought a large BigMac meal.

Sweet summer

2007-05-06T13:18:00.000+02:00

You gotta love summer, when it begins to get warmer, and girls begin to wear less and less clothes. :b~

Prom Night

2007-04-15T21:22:00.000+02:00

Last night we had senior prom for my year. It started 17:00 on the school for a class a champagne after which they drove to the place of the party. I skipped that part though. The party started at 18:00. I came a 10 minutes past I think, and there were still a long queue of cars, I think I waited some 15 minutes before I could get out of the car. Then I walked inside, took a welcome drink and stood randomly. Most of the couples had pictures taken, and after a group picture we started to eat.

First course was some chicken salad. Main course was roastbeef, some potato pie, some boiled vegetables and some other shit. Dessert was Ice Cream pie, pretty nice :). I sad close to a few of my good friends from the class, so dinner was quite enjoyable, with a lot of cheers'es. With the dinner there was white, red and some dessert wine. I like the white and dessert wine ok. Between main course and dessert there were four speeches. Two teachers and two students.

After dessert our parents came in order to watch us dance the lancers (lancier in danish), but first the tables needed to be moved ect. I was part of the first team to dance. And I will have to say this was one of the highlights of the evening, if not the. It was quite fun. =) However also made me sweat.

After the dances the bar opened and this band called drengenes.dk started playing. Then the rest of the evening was kind of normal party with talking, drinking and random dancing. At 1:00 sandwiches were served. I didn't have any, as I weren't hungry due to the drinking. I tend to not feel like eating anything when I've gotten a little drunk. At 2:00 a bus came driving into Nykøbing, the "big" city around here. I had decided not to go there though. There wasn't space for everyone in the first bus, so I stayed there while the rest waited for the bus to come back.

While waiting a few guys from one of the other classes sitting at a table called on me. Not any I've ever talked much to, or at all. But appearently my countdown site (to last day of school) and elma skills had rumoured to them :). So we talked a little about that and some other stuff. Then the bus came and I called my dad to come pick me up.

My dad took some pictures, they are quite blury though.

Current situation

2007-04-10T19:19:00.000+02:00

I realised that I never write anything about stuff like school and generel life sitaution. Maybe because it would be boring. Anyway I'll write a little about it here, which will maybe give a little better understanding of the other posts, or just a few minutes of laughs about my pathetic life. ;-)

I go to Handelsgymnasium, which in my dictionary translates to commercial upper-secondary school. Well I guess most who reads this knows what gymnasium is. I am at the third and last year, have around a month left of normal school days and then final exams, which scares the hell out of me. I would like nothing more than take these three years all over if I could with the same classmates ect. When finising school I have no idea what I wanna do. Well maybe a little. (I think I will write a post about this later.)

Just after summer holidays I have military service for six months. Not normal military service though, I'm doing civil defence forces. The place where you learn to be fireman, rescue people and such. I chosed this mainly because I don't want to be a part of the army with current government. Two guys I know pretty well are going there at the same time as me, and one more coming two months later.

I am 19 years old and hunger for some experimental wild teenage sex before I turn 20 this summer. I live with my parents, my brother moved from home some four years ago, and this school year my sister is at efterskole, school where you live at the school. So except weekends it's just me and my parents here. I plan to move from home in a not too distant future, but not untill after military service atleast. Various reasons for this. Such as better internet, to try to live in a big city, I have lived in a small village my whole life and getting just a bit tired of living with the same people, eating the same food ect. ect. Being able to order something from the internet without my parents knowing? ;-).

To copy insane guys intro post: On my desktop no. 1 is from right a bunch of donald duch and rolling stones magazines, a Britney Spears Biography, a back of Mini Brazil candy, Kløver Vaseline, en empty Jolly Coke bottle, an almost eaten easter egg, a tie, some random paper, a headset, my acer LCD monitor, two half empty chip bags, a donald dug mug, some bills, the new Hilary Duff CD, an BIG bunch of random paper from last few years, a lot of small coins I don't bother to use, a digital camera, a tape dispensor, make poverty history bracelets, Fructis Style gloss wax, my watch hanging from my the lights.

Desktop no. 2 from right an empty class, my Nokia 3310 with Britney Spears cover, a lot of pens and stuff in some holder, a flashlight, a small ball, a space jumper, a remote for my stereo, my logitech mouse for laptop, my laptop.

On normal days when I'm not in school I irc, check random websites, watch new series if any new that day, otherwise I watch some old I have (I love to do series marathons), play elma and smultronet if anyone online, sometimes watch a movie, eat with my parents, do homework. I pretty much only read while on toilet and in bed before sleeping.

I go to class with many of my closest friends. I don't have any real close friends, but a group of pretty good friends. We all (except one of two) met in 10th grade. Some of us knew some of them from before, but here we created a pretty good group of friends with 9 people. One or two more joined later. These are the primary, and pretty much only, people I meet up with outside school for parties, poker playing ect.

As for my virtual life I consider myself to have some 6-7 close online/irc friends, most of which I've met up with many times irl (example).

I think that sums up my life as it is right now pretty well.

End of holiday stress

2007-04-09T21:09:00.000+02:00

Oh how I hate this. On the last day(s) of a holiday I always get so stressed over not wasting the last time of the holiday. Today is the last day of easter holiday. I used quite long time around noon trying to figure out what to do the rest of the day, should I watch a movie, in that case which, so I watch a tv show, in that case which, it has to be something good so I don't waste the last day of the holiday day ect ect.

I ended up watching an episode of Friends, then Hard Candy, then another friends episode, then some MKup306 cruising. And just now I made a new list on list of bests. I present to you, Kopaka's "Hottest People". A list of the 43 hottest people to walk the earth, in ranking order. If you wonder why there is only 41, it's because both t.A.T.u. girls are in one and so are both Olsen twins.

Party like it's your birthday

2007-04-08T17:52:00.000+02:00

Friday evening biwer held his 20th birthday. (A friend of mine I went to 10th grade with.) My dad drove me there a little past six. When I arrived he came down to the kitchen, we said hello and I gave him my present, 2 easter eggs. Then I walked upstairs where the party was. When I came up there were some 6-7 people that I didn't knew or only knew by name, and one from my class. But just after I arrived another one from my class arrived, and soon after some more people I know arrived.

Those who were there before I arrived was playing some beer table game. I stod and watching them a little, but when those people I know arrived we sat us together at another table and started drinking. I had brought some Cuba Strawberry and Sprite to mix. We sat there a long time doing random smalltalk before the food came. It was some chicken, salad, french fries and bread. There wasn't very much of it though, only enough for one round to everyone. :-/ So I had to satisfy my hunger with a few more pieces of bread.

Rest of the evening untill we took into the town was spent with a poker game, then a game of mayer (a dice game), and then two games of pyramid (card drinking game). Those I didn't knew had ordered a taxa at 1:30, but we wanted to go to the town earlier so we ordered a taxa a little past twelve. The first taxa that game though was a wrong one, too small. So we had to wait a little more for another one to arrive.

When we got into town me and three others walked to a hot-dog stand. The three others had a french hot-dog, but I wasn't really hungry at that time. Then we joined the others at this bar called Morsø. When we came there was only one person beside us there. We still hung out there for a while though. Some of the others from the birthday party came there a little later. We stayed there untill the place closed, not that it was late, but they close because there was no people. Then two others and me walked to a discotek called Natasha. There were actually some people there, but we didn't stay for long though.

Then me and Dyhr walked to this bar/discotek called Loftet to see if there was anyone of the others there. There were not. We were there for a little while talking to this guy we both went to 10th grade with. So we decided to grab a pizza and take home. I had a hawaii ofcourse ;-), with dressing. He took a taxa home, as he lives by himself somewhere else in that same city. I called my dad, who came 15 mins later. While waiting I eat 4/6 of my pizza. The rest I had yesterday while watching The Prestige. Nice movie by the way.
