We have a winner

FireworksA few minutes ago Martin won the quiz by guessing that I was making meatballs. Of course, I could not eat them before blending them with potates, butter and lots of milk :). I would like to thank the participants for taking part in this little quiz with good faith, and I look forward to awarding Martin his prize.

Entertainment for the Masses – Real Prizes!

Here at moelhave.dk, I am dedicated to entertain my visitors. My support, research and development, and customer relation teams are working around the clock to develop new ideas for a demanding audience. I now launch the first, and maybe only, installment of the “food quiz”, I have been cooking something rather simple today and have taken pictures of the process. I will start out with an early picture of the process and post pictures taken of my cooking until it’s completion – or until someone guesses what I am cooking. Beer!The price for the first correct guess is a beer in the friday cafe at DAIMI or at the bar at the Skjoldhøj dormitory. The winner will have to be present at one of these places, while I am there too, in order to claim the prize. The guesses are to be placed by using the comment functionality of this post and should be in either Danish or English. You are entitled to multiple guesses (within reason) and normal comments praising me for this great idea are of course wellcome too.
This first quiz is easy, so be prepared. I will post the first picture later today (before 20:00 danish time), the pictures will be posted in this post.

If you are a loser and have not had a single victory your entire life, this is your chance to finally win something important. Step into the light, you can do it. Good luck everybody. :)

Studying and Hardware

I’m kinda tired right now, the time is a couple of hours past midnight and I’ve been studying for my linear algebra exam for quite some time now. I’ll go the the exam on wednsday and after that I’ll go completely berserk in bars around Ã…rhus that’s for sure it’s not that’s it’s an extremely importan exam or anything (it’s as important as all the others :) ) but I just need to let some steam out after sitting here confined in the dorm for far too long.

Shopping for a new computer is also something I plan to do when I’ve done with my exams, the big question is what I should buy. I’ve not been following the hardware development at all (well, except for gfx cards) in the last couple of years so I have a lot of reading to do. I’m thinking of getting one of those Athlon XP1800+ cpu’s, they should do quite well compared to the p4 2ghz. I also need a new motherboard, a cabinet and some RAM.

when I’ve assembled the new system I’ll put this old 300mHz up in my closet, hook it to the net and use it as a web/mail server. I’ve always wanted to host my own site and email stuff and I can do that now. I can get a static IP from the newtwork here at the dorm and I can even get a hostname so you’ll be able to reach my computer as SOMETHING.skjodlhoej.dk now I just have to figure out what the “something” part should be, I’m thinking of thoooms.skjoldhoej.dk, codito.skjoldhoej.dk, gfx.skjoldhoej.dk and such things, any ideas?

Well, I think I’ll go to bed now as I’ve got nothing interesting to say at all, laters..
