In the stock market!

Yes, it's true what you have heard! I have entered the stock market with my blog! Well, actually it's more like a game, and it's called blogshares. The blogs are like industries, and you buy and sell shares. More links to the blog means more value. So if you happen to have a blog in blogshares, we could always link each other. Let's call it partners in crime!

Another day after!

I was NOT in school today. And this for a very understandable reason: Paaaarthay! Last night, that is. It was actually the school that organized the whole thing, four schools (that are all part of sort of a group) were present, but the fun did start before that. After having completed my theoretical test for my drivers licence (w00t) I raced home and changed to my tux (which is my grandfathers, so I got away cheap, again) and then hurried my smartly-dressed ass to the bus that took me to school (believe it or not) where I met up with the d00dz, and we all went by car down to the city where the party would take place, which is also the city where the total abstainer of our class lives, who was also the person in whose house we were going to have a pre-party. That was a long sentence. Either way it was really nice, and a well needed warm up since the alcohol at the party was EXPENSIVE. But I did manage to get quite drunk and completely freak out on the dance floor, which was really fun.

All in all, this was also a very enjoyable night. And I think it was good, for everyone involved, that I didn't get up until 11 o' clock this morning.

And now for something completely different: System of a Down's latest album, Mesmerize, is ridiculously good. Leech plz! And then buy! The grinding mixed with the wonderful harmonics is just so great and original you'd be a fool not to listen, at least once.

Workworkworkwork

It has been quite some time now since I had a completely free weekend. Always something to do. Well, if I can manage to get past this hellish working period of d00m I think I might just be in the clear. Then maybe I'll get time to work out.

Starting Wednesday I'll be so criminal. Before I've been performing illegal acts by sharing files, now it will become illegal to download them (music) as well. Estimated effect on piracy in Sweden: none. Keep it free!

Dark chocolate and metal is a blessing. Especially when you play Prince of Persia (Amiga). But how the heck are you supposed to be able to finish the game in under 60 minutes? It's not as easy as I thought it would be. But hold on my beloved princess, I'm coming!

The day(s) after

First up: a recap of the prom night last Friday. Loads of people had gathered in a park in the city before the busses left. And I mean loads. Tuxedos and dresses everywhere! I myself wore a quite sharp one that was my grandfathers (quite cool that too). That move saved me about 700-1000 kr (the ticket only cost 500). When we arrived at the hall a few hours later we were offered a drink before the dinner. Ah, the dinner. The food was marvelous. And you got some free alcoholic beverages too! It wasn't quite enough though, so when the bar opened later you were either standing waiting for the bartender to take your order or going completely crazy on the dance floor. These two were not entirely unrelated.

All in all a very enjoyable night.

Now I have work to do (surprise!). And I completed Resident Evil 4! Such an awesome game. And now I've got all the extra games to complete! Weee!

RixHack: First morning

Goood morning everyone! Fanally got some much needed sleep, about 7 hours. Now I'm all fired up again and ready to go, a few sandwiches and cokes is all you need in the morning! We're about to play this new game called Pariah, looks lika a halo/half-life kind of game at first look, and that's not too shabby. You could have worse influences. But then again, it is another FPS and we have seen it before. I wonder what new detail this game has that makes the producers claim the game takes gaming to a new level...

If you want to hear the music played here on RixHack you can go to www.playdio.se and listen to the webradio, they're broadcasting live fom here, 24 hours a day.

Peace.

RixHack: ??

I have completely lost track of time... I'm just playing and leeching all I can. Or something... Anyway, it's really fun so peace out and I'll see you later. I'll probably get some sleep too tonight. Probably...

RixHack: A second beginning

Ya, it's the beginning of the second day. More exactly 6 o' clock in the morning on the Friday. Left is the whole of Friday, a night, the whole of Saturday and one last night. I'm hungry again. Unfortunately the webcam is behaving strangely, so I can't post another picture... When the lights go back on in the Sunday morning I'll give you one of exhaustion though.

So what have I been doing so far? Playing WoW. Leeched a few games and movies. Played more WoW. Played Achtung die Kurve. And some WoW. And eating a little. No sleep though. That will, however, most likely come by itself soon, though hopefully not on the keyboard. Embarrassing...

RixHack: I'm here!

Ok, so I'm only three hours late with the promised post, but I can assure you, I just got my computer started. Arriving at 11:30 we waited at the wrong entrance until we found the queue where we stood for another hour and a half before they started letting people in. Finally, after a long wait, we got in, and I managed to set me up da computer and get network problems. But it works now. And I'm hungry, so I think I'll go grab something to eat. Peace out, and see you later!

RixHack

Tonight is the night! The night before I leave for good. Or... at least for four beautiful days. I shall spend then in Gothenburd together with approx. 2000 other geeks sitting at my computer grabbing warez and playing games. Or rather game - wow.

I'll be bringing my webcam, and shall (if I can remember) take pictures to show the slow, but steady fall of the lan geek from a fresh and eager dude to a dead tired zombie. First pic here:

Note the newly shaved freshness.
Now, the beauty of a LAN party like this is not playing games, or spending time with friends, or even grabbing sick amounts of corrupt software, but sitting in a place for four days and do absolutely nothing. I just love it!

Ok, tune in tomorrow (or technically today, if you live in Sweden or any country between here and the date line) at about 13:00 GMT+2 for more news.
