no internet ...

This will be an update-on-me blog - so now you're warned :P .

The last three weeks have been a bit unusual from my regular daily life. The biggest difference were the fact that my internet were closed on 1st of April (not a joke!). It had been closed before because of "overuse", so I feared it were the same again (even though I had reduced my internet usage extremly). I had to wait a whole week before I could contact the people in charge of it and they told me it was due to lack of payment - oups... They temporarily opened the connection so I could access my netbank and transfer the money. Then easter came and I went home. After easter my internet were closed again. I had to wait until late thursday evening before they finally realised that I had payed and opened it again.

During this period I learned that there is quite a lot of stuff where I'm using the internet, and it was a bit anoying to find other stuff to do. I did learn that I am not addicted to the internet (wheee) as I have a nice collection of singleplayer games. For instance I finally completed the main quest line in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion :) .

Easter

As mentioned above I went home during the holidays. My parents had gone on a holiday trip to northern italy so I stayed at my brothers new apartment. It's about the same size as mine but with a smaller kitchen - which does not fit with the fact that I hate cooking and he likes it.

Of course I also visited my old friends and we played a lot Guitar Hero World Tour (including singing and drums). A managed to play acceptable on a medium bass - I know, I suck at that game.

WOFIE

Last week (week after easter) we did not have normal school. Instead we were at a conference/workshop/course/something, called WOFIE, where we were split up and joined in groups with several other study areas. We were then suposed to create a product (or idea of) and present it with the posibility to win prizes. The topic were "climate" ... so guess how useless I was.

The group consisted of five people but one guy from my group never showed up. To pass we only had to be there three out of the four days, which one in my group took advantage of (I was really close to doing the same). So on the last day we were three people in my group - and suddenly we won and qualified for the final as one of the 7 out of a total of 78 groups. Pretty sweet. Even more sweet: five out of the six people in my software group where represented in the finals (thats five out of seven groups having a software guy in it!).

The top three groups from the final would win money (15k, 10k and 5k dkk). The top two of these groups had a software guy in it - none of those, however, were me :P .

In case you were wondering my groups idea were to put transparent solar cells in car windows to increase the range of electric cars. Prototypes of this might have already been made, but with only four days (constantly interrupted by stupid "energizers") and with the study combinations in the group it were pretty much impossible to find something clever and new.
