Pwned You, Semester Exams!

With some long study sessions, a lot of frustration and falling asleep with socks on, it’s all over. For a couple of months at least.
I don’t have the right to complain just yet. That is, until IB2, and now that’s something.

Now I noticed that it’s pretty fashionable to say you’re going to fail, even if you’re a top student, actually, especially if you’re a top student. The funny thing is that half of those will get grades about, say, 30% better than me.
Yesterday I put my MacBook in repair. I’m a little worried that they’ll overlook the display problem though. The guy I showed it to “couldn’t see any problems.” Seriously, there’s a gigantic gray blob in the middle of the screen caused by inconsistent backlight, give me a break! They’re probably just going to overlook it.

So here I am, using some ancient machine that actually works (yeah, I kinda forgot I had it). It’s so slow that it’s much more practical to run a VNC session to my home server and work over there. Seriously. I threw out that PowerMac “Beige” I had, it was simply pissing me off, I’m talking about a different machine.
Should be getting my MacBook in about 14 days. At least that’s what they said. I hope they’re not gonna close for too long during christmas, I need that machine!

Saturday Night Widget

A long time ago, I made a little widget. It’s basically a Dashboard widget showing the young John Travolta back from Saturday Night Fever.

So there. If you want a copy of this widget, you can download one here. Simply double click the archive.

Please note that it should be compatible with all versions of Mac OS X after Tiger, and then, both PPC and Intel machines. (I tested it on my MacBook, and it works.)

It’s too stupid to be copyrighted, so I’m just putting it in the public domain.
