The ducks are out to get you! Look at them coming for you! Run!

What's the difference between a cookie and a biscuit?
I'm going to eat them both! Mwhahahahah!

Oh, wait. That doesn't make sense. Well, eating them does, but not the riddle.

The fictional dramatization earlier presented of what could have come to pass at the Signals and Systems exam did, in fact, not happen.

Indeed, it turned out better than I hoped for -- not that I had hoped for much. I give it a score of 3.

Now I have three months of free time. That's not bad. Not bad at all. Go me!

Problem 1, Answer:

I have not studied for this exam, because I believe that the topic signals and systems can give you cancer.

Indeed, as of writing this, I fear for my life and it's only with my greatest efforts I have dared to approach this exam.

You will find the rest of the answers blank, as I can't endure this exam any longer.

- I believe I could kill a pudding.
- Kill a pudding, sir? I'm not sure you can kill a pudding.
- Of course you can, don't be silly. And I want you to get me one.
- Really, sir? Well, as you wish. But I'm afraid you won't be able to kill it.
- Don't think I'm tough enough, do you?
- No, sir, it's not that. It's just that no one can kill a pudding.
- So you keep insisting. Tell me, why can't anyone kill a pudding?
- Well, sir, one of the main features required to be killed is to be alive.
- Ah, and you're going to say pudding isn't alive next, are you not?
- Yes, sir.
- That's where you're wrong, you see. Pudding is just as alive as apples, tomatoes, squirrels and bread. Ordinary stuff I use to kill.
- Squirrels, sir? Is that not rather cruel?
- Well no, not squirrels. I'm not Elvis, you know.
- If you say so, sir. But even though apples and tomatoes are alive in some sense, I'm not sure you can call bread alive.
- It's full of yeast, and yeast's as alive as your next dog.
- Perhaps, sir. But pudding doesn't normally have yeast in it.
- But you can have apples in it, that's nice. Apple pudding.
- But, sir, are not the apples killed when you create the pudding?
- Oh, they don't have to be. You can be careful, can't you?
- I suppose so, sir.
- And there you have it. Now go get me some apple pudding. I could kill some right now. And by kill I mean eat.
- Eat, sir? ... Ah, I see.
- Well, what did you think? I left my gun at the manor, and I'm bloody well not going to strangle pudding -- it's way too smeary.

I've done the second exam today. I give it a score of 4, out of 5. I did make some stupid errors, but that's not the exams fault... not much anyway. It was on Numerical Analysis, which is, in some sense, a very interesting topic.

About the last exam (ie, then one earlier called the First), I'd like to promote the preview guess score of 3 to a real score of 3.

Yarr, only one exam left to be keelhauling. Then me be sailing the seven seas for the whole summer, looting bounty all weeks long. Yarrr, shiver me timbers, that be a fine life. Avast! I be giving grog to ye all! Me be wondering why me be writing this.

First exam is coming up later today at 14:00. It's about computer organization and design. Like, how nice would this memory cache be for this particular thing, and so on. Interesting, but it's not necessarily fun to compute how much of the time some IO bus will be busy.

On a scale from 1 to 5, I give this exam a preview guess score of 3 -- interesting, not very hard, but in some ways tedious. We'll have to wait till after the exam to find out the real score, and see how good the guess was.

Summarily, here's a picture with an enlightening quote from the Fallout 1 team.

Yarr, read the title. Then there's a lot of free time.

abs(evalfr(fun, 3)) <- spot the error?
abs(evalfr(fun, 3j)) <- yarr, that's more like it!

Busy! Haha, that's a good one. Hilarious.

... wait, no it isn't.

The results from the 48h programming compo are ready, and I'm happily surprised. Turned out I came second in Fun, won in Innovation, and also got the Best In Show prize. In Production, I placed 4:th. If you don't believe me, check it out.

If you after this info feel motivated to try it out, you can get it here.

Sorry for not writing any fun entries lately, but I'm busy :/

Aye, I have this fine picture of some very heavy bread. Here it be.

After the 48h compo last weekend, I'm quite busy rating all the entries, and then there's the matter of the fact that I must study. So I don't have much time to write stuff here. This won't necessarily stop me though, as you never know. It's usually more fun writing something here than to study.

Don't despair! I usually just write really crappy things here anyway ;) (ok, so maybe that's the point, but, well, I don't know what I'm getting at here... ehrm.. bye).

Right, I'm kind of done with the compo now. My diary for the compo has all the info you need, including download link and screenshots. I'm too tired to actually add them here now. I've got like 4.5 hours of sleep now before I need to get up. Bye for now.

I'm a bit busy programming a game this weekend, so no funny stuff here. Like if you would have expected that anyway...

What I be doing

Today I've documented how to cook. Use the nifty link to get to it: Cooking with Jolle - Part 1.

This may become a series, therefore "Part 1".

Ok, so there was this sandwich, right? And then there was, like, another one. Ok? And I started eating the first one. And then the second one. You're with me? Right, so, then suddenly, I didn't have any sandwiches!

That's right. I can't sepll to splle.

I've made a change to the RSS feed so that it gives +0200, as it should now, when it's summer time here. This change affects the three most previous entries, so your RSS reader may think they're new entries.

That's it. I'm going to quit my job, sell my house, eat my dog, and become a hobo in Las Vegas.
