College has started again. Damn. All the good ideas come now (the best time is during the exams), but there's no time. When I do have the time, I don't have any ideas, and I refuse to post nonsense in order to keep the post count ticking.
So here are some of the things I've been doing :
>>> I found out how to download English Subtitles for most movies, and integrate them with the movie. I can finally watch movies which my friends always told me were good, but I couldn't understand too much.
>>> I installed Qt4 and PyQt4 on my new fedora system, and I'm loving writing programs for them. They look cool.
>>> They look even better on my 22" screen. So do the movies.
>>> My speaker system is also doing justice to the money I paid for it.
>>> I'm starting to write a few (fairly) technical articles on linux, some of which I hope to be able to put up here.
>>> I've lost physics and chemistry, and have had them replaced with More Computer-Sciencey subjects. I'll get to that later.
>>> I'm trying to decide upon a phone to get. Something better comes out every week.
>>> I'm getting pretty darned good at using linux, especially the command line. I expect that now, I fall under the category of 'power user', and border on expert (maybe in the next few years). I think I could live by the command line, with no gui, except for a pdf reader, which I hope to correct.
>>> Did I mention that I love my 22"?
>>> I finally watched the Illusionist, a movie I've been dying to see since I saw the trailers a little less than a year ago. It was amazing. Awesome movie. I am yet to see 'The Prestige', which they say is better.
>>> Like so many, I'm waiting for Heroes Season 2 in September.
>>> Numb3rs Season 3 screens at 10-11 at night, a timeslot that is distinctly not primetime, and unfortunately I can bring myself to stay awake that long. *sigh*, I'll have to watch reruns.
>>> Don't get me started on Harry Potter. Just don't.
That's all I can think of at this time of night. More to come when I actually have time.
