Tears

The summer is way too short for what I want to archieve, I'll post my TODO list here and hope not to drop tears over it after the summer:
  • Website design, using the browser as a canvas to display content. Forget the terms header, container and footer. Archieved 50%
  • Game development, especially 3D! Archieved 50%
  • Assembly! Archieved Archieved 10%
  • Algorithms, more algorithms... Archieved 100%
Shit.

House MD

Yes I have seen every single House MD episode to day. Many of them twice. And I still find most of House's jokes funny. And yes, Hugh Laurie is an awesome actor. I can't wait for the 7th Season!

Somehow, writting the above lines made me feel like a looser. And that's strange cause I'm not a looser.

Aside from that, I think that every other TV Series sucks. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT? (See? House is affecting me. And I hate that.)

Flash games and astrophysics

[Note: 1 chewing gum = 0.10 USD]

Recently I became addicted to Them (=flash games). And I decided to make one. And I did. And it sucks: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/548011
As you would have noticed if you clicked the link above, my game has annoying 30-second interactive advertisments you can't skip and obviously I make money from them. (It's called mochiads, check it out) Right now, 3 weeks after releasing the game I have made 4.5 chewing gums. (I need to make 1000 chewing gums to receive my first paycheck :( ). The game might suck, but I promise, I am NOT going to add mochiads to my next game. It's not worth it.  1,145 people got bored to death waiting for the game to start and I can't even enjoy my chewing gums...

Anywany, I am working on my next game, yes, this one will be awesome.

Other than that? I am wasting my time with that "school" thing again, where those funny faces called "teachers" try to make ancient greek sound interesting. They're not trying hard enough.

I also started studying Astrophysics lately, thanx to the Orbiter community and Orbiter itself, of course! I wish Orbiter was open-source... Ah, at least it is free! Anyway, if anyone is reading and is interested, check out the Orbiter Simulator, and the following link:

Yesterday I fired up Orbiter, entered low-earth Orbit, took the Semi-Major axis and I calculated my period of revolution! Of course my result did not mach the number on the simulator screen, I was 8 seconds off! Real p was 5312, my result was 5320. That was propably because I conveniently assumed that earth had a constant radius everywhere.

That's all folks. Oh, and here's something to keep you entertained for the next 129 seconds.
