A lot is going on in these days. To much for my taste actually.
Since I am done at the university I pretty much have to get a job somewhere. That has meant making my CV and different job applications. It also meant joining what is known as an A-kasse. Not sure what it is called in English but it is something that will pay me as long as I do not have a job, pretty sweet deal. Of course they demand that I am actually searching for a job, but who would want to sit at home everyday doing nothing anyway.... wait a minute.
I am currently also in the process of moving out of my apartment in Aalborg (in just a couple of weeks). But since I do not know where in the world I will get a job yet I have no apartment to move into. So to begin with I will be moving back home to my parents. Hopefully I will have a job soon so I can move out again :P .
I have been in the process of creating a framework for websites, and have for months now been working on using that framework for this site. At the moment I only need some administration stuff and I should be ready to release it. I did, however, feel like it needed a new design as well so that might come too. Of course it has already taken longer than I expected but I just have not had the time :( .
Riot Games (the creators of League of Legends) released the "Season 1" ladder stuff, which meant the log file changed. The log file we parse to get all the data for LoLBase.net. Since my partner were visiting his family in Vietnam and rarely had any time, and the fact that it was me who originally created the parser, I was forced to fix it so we could continue the parsing of the thousands of log files we receive every day. Of course season 1 was released right in the middle of a holiday trip I was on, where me and 8 other young people (I was actually the oldest :P ) went to a summer house on the west coast (of Denmark) to get drunk for seven days straight. Yes I was drunk most of the time there and it was actually quite fun. Well, except for the fact that one of the two girls who were there got a concussion the 2nd night at could not participate in most of what we were doing the rest of the week. Pictures on Facebook :P . Anyway, I finished the parser a few days ago and the parser is currently crunching through the more than 120000 log files that was in the queue (would take around 85 hours), and it is still going :P .
Riot have, however, done something really awesome. With the release of season 1 they also released a new website both in North America and in Europe. At the bottom of the front page is a small box with the title "Community Spotlight". On both sites there is only one thing inside this box: the banner for LoLBase.net! Fork yeah! I have made something that is used and known intonationally by thousands of people! Not sure, but I do not think Sands of War reached the same amount of users?
I have also finally started to actually play some LoL again. Sucks and owns randomly atm :P . I have also bought Arcanum on gog.com. My brother bought that game years ago but I never finished it - now I will! Then there are several tv-series that are about to start or have started and finally some anime. I told you, lots of stuff to do :P .
Shit this was long... I end it with Lilim...

That's right, I'm done!
19½ years of school (and half a year of nothing) is over and I can finally call my self: Master of Science in Software Engineering! ... or something like that.
I ended the final exam with a 10. The second highest grade on the new scale (equals B on the ECTS grading scale) and one grade higher than we (me and my group mate who also got 10) expected. So it all went well!
Our censor for the exam were Erik Frøkjær from University of Copenhagen, who is kind of an expert in the area our project were in (enough to have the media contact him for expert opinions). Apparently our report impressed him enough, because neither of us did an outstanding job at the actual exam :P .
... but who cares, it is over, I am done, no more university! Now there is only the future... damn :/

A quick update to let you know about the upcoming exams period. I have been way to busy to write anything clever here for a while.
We, me and my group m8 Tuan, hand in our project (report and product) on the 14th of June. Then we have our project exam (the only exam this time) on the 28th, and finally a ceremony where we are handed our diploma, or whatever, on the 30th. And then I have a candidate degree in Software (cand.polyt.)!
LoLBase.net have received surprisingly many (to me at least) donations and we have already bought a new server and put up a brand new design! Everything is awesome until yesterday where the main database suddenly disappeared ... wtf?! So we are currently reconstructing the data from backups and archives. With the move, the new design and the lost database we have been quite busy with that too.
Back to work...

- Films, Hmmm, Me!, Television
I am still a noob when it comes to watching anime and reading manga, but I am getting there. According to AniDB I have 82 animes, but several of these are second seasons or OVA's and others are films. So a more correct unit would be episodes of which I have seen over 700. That is the same as 12 days and 20 hours! I currently have six series and one film waiting to be seen. According to MyAnimeList.net I have read 10 mangas or a total of 662 chapters which they estimate to have taken almost four days!
I should really get another hobby?
Anyway, I have compiled a small list of some of the stuff I have learned about the world from watching anime and reading manga. It must all be true, right?
wait... that cannot be right?

- Girls gives you a nosebleed, one way or the other.
- All girls are embarrassed by their bust size, no matter the size.
- You cannot die from an epic fight - you just get really really tired.
- At least one of your female friends is a ghost.
- The first kiss is extremely important - so is the first touch.
- Kawaii!
- Eating food prepared by someone bad at cooking can often be fatal.
- Girls and women have much bigger eyes than boys and men.
- Parents are rarely ever home.
- All girls wear skirts and they are always to short.
- For some reason girls with cat-ears and a tail are really cute.
- There is a rabbit on the moon
- Tears are huge.
- Hair can sweat.
- If a girl gets sick, and it is not a cold, she is either pregnant or terminally ill.
- If you have a childhood friend you will eventually start dating her.
- All boys are being accused of being perverted no matter what they do.
- The Japanese word for panties is "pantsu"...
- "Saving" a girl from something even slightly dangerous will make her fall in love with you - even if you are a girl.
- Small children are often really smart while teenagers are stupid as hell.
- If you are afraid of getting robed, assaulted or raped on your way home it will happen!
- Magic exists but you need a card or some other device to use it.
- All guys who does not realize it, or look for it, have at least two girls who are in love with them.
wait... that cannot be right?

I am busy with my school project, and will probably be for the next month until we hand it in the 14th of June. That leaves even less time to come up with an obscure blog about something weird. So instead this will just be a small update about things going on ... and showing of my latest drawings.
For a few months I have been creating yet another PHP framework from scratch. It is heavily inspired by the framework behind this site, created by me, and the one we use for LoLBase.net, created by my school project partner, Tuan. About a week ago I started to transform this site into the new framework and it is going great. Everything looks so much prettier ... in the code that is. The process is not done yet, and it is very likely that it will not be in the coming month either. I have a couple of other sites in progress that also uses the framework, and maybe I will tell you about that some day :P .
LoLBase.net is going tremendously great. We have run into one performance problem after another because of the huge interest we are getting. We have solved most of them but have now decided that we need our own full-time server to handle the pressure. To accomplish this we have started a donation campaign in hope that some of the users would help us, and some have already done so :o ! It is quite annoying that school requires so much time so we have trouble finding the time to actually do some work on lolbase, and the list of feature request is loooong.
Small update? Yeah, whatever - now for some drawings. Again inspired heavily by anime and mange :P . My scanner really suck so there is random shadows and missing shadows on all images :( .
Click on the thumbs to see a larger version (preparations for a gallery I am also making for the new site :P).
Louise from Zero no Tsukaima and her whip.
Fan service! Really do not understand Japan's fascination with bloody noses?
Random girl with a gun. Her left hand were annoying so I made her cry to move it up there :P .
Tsukimiya Ayu from Kanon. As always I did not capture her face in a good way so she is not really recognizable :P .
Satsuki Kitaoji from Ichigo 100% (a classic ecchi harem high school romance comedy manga).
