This morning, I finally did my first exam. Finally. Finally I'm coming in the right rhythm for examinations. My first one was computer graphics, a very easy one. The syllabus was that small I can express my study time in hours instead of days :-D That way, it was very difficult to start studying instead of taking vacations. So I think it 'll be OK, I answered all questions, so let's hope they're right B-)

Now, right after an exam, I can't motivate myself to study the next one, so I did some other stuff, like reading the newspaper and so on. I also prepared a statement text that I'll use on the next meeting of the computercommission of our university. If you're interested and you understand Dutch, you can read it here. Now the rest of our board has to approve it and then I can defend it on the meeting next friday, right after my next exam. And that one isn't that easy. It's also one of the most boring courses in our course list: Queueing Theory. Let's hope it'll be allright.

So now I think my break was long enough, let's eat and then study!

It's been quite a while since I posted here. So here's a little update. I'm preparing for my exams, the first one is friday. I can feel the exam stress already, which is good, because I need some stress to study. (if there is no stess, I waste my time with surfing and gaming) I've got 5 exams this semester, 3 difficult ones, and 2 easy ones (surprisingly, the easy ones are computer-related ;-) ). The 3 difficult ones come first, so after those, the worst part is over and the fun begins. :-p

Now, about that weird word 'Sauerbraten' in the title. Sauerbraten is 'Cube 2'. (I have posted about Cube before.) The first 'relatively mature' release is availiable for download here. Saurebraten runs on linux and windows. If you want to try Saurerbraten out, you should extract the .zip file somewhere on your harddrive. Linux users should go to sauerbraten/sauerbraten and run 'sauerbraten_unix'. (you might have to change the permissions of sauerbraten/sauerbraten/sauerbraten_unix and sauerbraten/sauerbraten/bin_unix/linux_client to make sure they are executable) Windows users should execute sauerbraten\sauerbraten\sauerbraten.bat. Remember that this is an early release, so many things might still change. I think the looks have improved a lot, but some features still annoy me: I hate those stupid ogre models and the other monsters. They just don't fit in a FPS game.

Oops, my break is over. Back 2 the books. >:( Cya!
