Cousken’s Weblog

I apologize for not writing in a while, but it was necessary to stay true to my convictions of delivering quality posts. Yet again i’m forced to remind that doing that takes time, time i don’t have. During these final weeks of my examination i truly dedicate myself to my term long project. True enough, i have been sick for a week, down with a cold, but no less busy because of it and with time lost due to the rest needed for me to get healthy.

Today is a special day. Next time i wake up, i will go back to work, and feel productive, creative and useful. Today i don’t. I didn’t have any plans for this day, and i don’t feel like doing anything in particular either. This doesn’t put me in any specially good mindset, but i make the best of it. I fix small things, do stuff i have been putting off, like for example getting my computer in order and updating this blog.

My computer had a weird problem with a hardware conflict between the sound card and the graphics card. Apparently, the sound card isn’t isolated and the magnetic field generated by my graphics devices causes electric disturbances, making my computers crash. So i was forced to pull it out, even if it pains me so to loose such excellent sound quality.

I also vacuumed my CPU fan, and thanks to it i lowered it’s temperature by … *dramatic pause* twenty degrees Celsius! Now that is something. There was a thick layer of dust basically protecting any air from the fan from spreading amongst the metal plates. So now my computer is much more stable, and only 5 degrees above the maximal temperature. I blame my spaced out mother board for that. I think it boosts my CPU based on demeaned, because the voltage of the named component goes up an down like a wooden roller coaster in the good old days when ’spine fracture’ wasn’t as recognized a word.

Other than that i didn’t really do anything today. Read a book, went shopping just to get out of the house and have something to do. A guy with a family tried to nick a huge box underneath his jacket, it was a very pathetic attempt that pissed everybody off. You don’t see stuff like that in Sweeden often, but at least people didn’t get all freaked out… the store clerk knew exactly what to do, preventing the theft. I honestly have to say i’m surprised.

Yesterday, which was a really nice day, i was out in the evening and took some photographs. Unfortunately none of them are good, because i am in the possession of The Crappiest Lens Ever. I’m planing on buying a new one, especially one witha  wide shutter so i can take more pictures during the night. I also really want to get a film camera, any crappy camera will do acctualy. Basically like a portable web cam. I got tremendously inspired by Pangea Day, i think making short movies would be something very sweet to do this summer. But, unfortunately, my finances are very limited, i still haven’t gotten a job for the summer. We’ll have to see how everything plays out ^^

I guess i’ll finish this now before it becomes another mega-post. I do have more thing to say, as always, but i think i wanna dosage them. Of course, that usually ends up with me forgetting them when i acctualy do the next post. But if i wanted to share every thought i have, every occurrence in my life, i would have to sit here 24/7, which would then cause me not having particularly many things happening to me or thinking about anything original at all… you get the point.

I hope i can get a cool new lens and share some sweet night time pictures soon…
