The big break is over. Once I came home from Hove I got a phone call from a friend asking me i he could crash for the weekend; apparently he was going to have a look at a open apartment here in Oslo. -Awesome; Seems like my network is finally building up down here =D Of course I couldn’t say no, but I warned him that I had sinusitis and needed to take it easy. Of course I didn’t get to sleep too well that night as I had to drive another friend to the buss station early in the morning as well. Saturday went a little unexpected as instead of taking care of my self I chose a more destructing pattern. I ended up out on town and actually had a really pleasant night out. Now I am sitting in my apartment melting away in front of my computer and am worried sick if the weather is going to get any hotter than this; its 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) in the shade and its 05:40 pm, and I don’t have a functioning AC. Really worried about being able to do AM work these next weeks.
I love summer, that is if I can spend time enjoying it, like on the Hove festival! Good lord it was awesome! I’m really happy I went as I got reunited with Faith No More who turned out to become one of my favorite bands ever; growing up with a lot of their music on the radio never knowing much about them. A lot of great concerts some new to me some old flames. And the weather? Great! The bathrooms? Awful! The camp? Fantastic! Bathing in the sea was awesome; clear water down there, nothing like the muddy water in Oslo. Got to meet a lot of fun people. Now I’m left here with a smile on my face and a lot of snot in my sinuses. Hopefully I’ll get well soon!
Tomorrow, back to work! Qvisten in the morning AM at night =D

Metallica was awesome! Really disappointed with Lamb of God though. This wasn’t LoG’s fault, but the sound crew in the concert hall sucked ass!
Seriously eliminated LoG’s glory. I bet I could have done a better job with the sound even.
Anyways I’m leaving for the hove festival now! Yes, that is right, GONE for a week!. Man its pouring outside, keeping me from going to my car. Oh it just stopped. guess I’ll be going =P dammit
it started again, no wait, wait for it, wait for it… silence!

Hey there people!
I got a little bummed out by my computer today, and want to share with you readers out there just to release some of my frustration:
Well it is summer! Yay! Sunny days and what not. This is all great, but it is not a great season for computers! I am currently on the end of the first term of AM and I decided to play a game on my computer for once. Based on what I have seen from E3 this year, (the new Splinter Cell game in this case,) I decided to just start playing the series. Starting with the first game that came out for quite a while ago. This didn’t turn out great, not only because of the horrible gameplay, but my frickin’ “CPU Alarm” went off.
I decided it was about time to clock down my CPU for the summer so that it wouldn’t overheat. Setting my system back to auto settings actually didn’t help me much; Windows constantly started freezing over. Which is strange, as that ment that I technically have clocked it down like 880MHz, but then I started thinking: “What if my CPU gets over loaded now that it is a whole lot slower?” So I set it back and my system is as stable as always. Now I think the big problem I have goten to is tat SC maxed out my load; making my CPU overheat.
This had me run the ol’Google for quite some hours, and what do I have to show for it? ThreadMaster GUI
Supposedly it is supposed to not set the priority, but limit applications CPU load. This won’t make your software run faster, but you can prevent the system from crashing or overheating; at least theoretically.
Or if these things doesn’t consern you, how about limiting the CPU laod of your antivirus scan, or while extracting files with WinRAR etc.? Making you able to use your system even though it is runing a CPU heavy process.

Oh my, things have happened since last time that I cannot even start to mention. I’m really sorry for my lack of blogging lately, but it is getting hot outside. (In my case that means pretty hot inside as well.) I want to share my AM work so far and I’ll do it in the next post, but for category purposes I’d like to keep this post about what has been going on lately. Or for over a month.
Since my last post I have gotten hold of the Broken Sword port for the Wii, being sometimes annoyed with the horrible sound work, but it really brought back a lot of good memories.
Seen Monsters Vs Aliens and Coraline. Won’t go into details.
I have been a lot with my good friends and have had relatives for visits.
Norway won in Eurovision, which meant that I had to be in hiding for a couple of days because of the annoying song, which obviously appeared everywhere.
May 17th came along.
A few days later a bookstore right outside my apartment had to close down, so they had a sale where I managed to get a hold of a lot of cheep books and DVDs.
A lot of TV-Shows has ended over the days, and some good news about some shows returning.
Lucas Arts and Telltale Games announces some stuff that makes me smile wide, involving the Monkey Island franchise. Additionally Brutal Legend has got a release date and is looking frickin’ awesome!
It is getting hotter every day and my computer seem to hate it.
I get above average grades on AM and am pretty sure I’ll manage to stay in the mix for term two.
My car is apparently going to cost me a lot this year :S
I have spent some time over at Qvisten Animation Studio.
Metallica concert featuring Lamb of God June 17th.
I’m leaving for Hove festival June 19th.
I better get to bed and start this week’s assignments.
Oh, and unless I leave the country I won’t be able to see UP before the end of September :S
